Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals.

The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organisms’ cells to produce energy, maintain life, and stimulate growth.

•We all love to eat. Food is one thing no one can resist. But often while fulfilling the demands of our tongue we do forget the beneficiary of food.

•Food has many varieties and offers a great variety for us to choose. But we should prefer to have what is good for us not what our heart says!!!!
