My 2021 Nutrition Resolution

Starting out the year for lots of people all over the world produces so much of zeal and passion, determination and commitments heighten, goals and targets are set, resolutions made. 

People make resolutions cutting across diverse areas of their lives, from career to family, to finances, and so on. But only a few map out their nutrition or health plans. 

There are three things in today's world that catches our attention at the speed of light. One is anything that teaches us how to exponentially grow money or influence with much ease and less sweat. While the other is anything that teaches us how to get an added advantage, the fourth dimension, spirituality and or how to become a god. The third is anything that teaches, activates or addresses our sexuality, billions of people visit pornographic sites addictively. In short the three things are God, Money/Influence and Sex. 

Where then is Nutrition? Not found right? But that's not true, Nutrition regulates these three in a very powerful manner. Nutrition is a silent but active force. 

To know God on this side of reality, you must master your personal nutrition. Fasting, abstinence from food is practiced by lots of people across many religions. But even fasting has principles, I don't know so much about other religions, but I know there are principles for a Christian fast, and this has to be known to be able to strive victoriously with it. 

"Nutrition doesn't add money to my bank account, the nutritionists are only promoting their profession." This is the thought that makes many people trivialise their personal nutrition. Truly Nutrition may not earn you money except you have a career path in it, but nonetheless, do you know nutrition can help you save lots of money in the nearest future?

Do you know that a billionaire spending millions monthly on sicknesses will be a happier millionaire without an ailment? Of course! Health is Wealth, energy and life is also capital. You shouldn't start watching your nutrition when you grow old. It should start now that you're young. 

What about our sexuality? 

Nutrition has its role. The creator didn't make all the vitamins and minerals that exist for nutritional decorations, they all have unique roles they play in our body, our emotional and mental state, and overall health. A good nutrition will enhance your sex life. Arginine, Vitamin B and Zinc are some of the nutrients that enhance sex and fertility. 

May I state nonetheless that any form of sexual perversion is a degradation of the real essence of humanity? Yes it is. 'Man' over your sex life and stop letting it lord over you. You're man not an animal. The word Man here is a verb, an action word. 

Now that I have just exposed to you the place of Nutrition, I have a question to ask you. In your plans for 2021, do you have a nutrition resolution?

I learnt a number of nutritional lessons last year. Because of my multidimensional self, I had lots of responsibilities from time to time. I'm never idle, there's always something to be done. This workload increased so much in the middle of 2020, it started to take a toll on my nutrition, I started skipping diets, most especially dinner. And the excuse was I worked all through the day and so late into the night that don't remember I haven't eaten. I got so much into work, I forget to eat.

This continued for a while until I almost damaged my immune system, recurrent sicknesses started and I could hardly work or catch up with my duties. I learnt! Nutritional supplements had to be prescribed to me by my physician, I got ashamed of myself as a person who had always taught about nutrition. 

As I came into 2021, my nutrition resolution came in this order. 

1. Early and healthy breakfast and dinner.

2. NO to carbonated drinks.

3. Replace carbonated drinks with more nutritious beverages (Milo or Bournvita with Milk).

4. Putting off my system (laptop) by 9pm, except for a very urgent or important cause, which wouldn't exceed twice in a month. 

Ever since, I've been in a good state of health with the help of God.
