I am most passionate about nutrition because of how it truly affects your life, whether you are fighting a disease, your performance as an athlete, or certain food intolerances. I also love that nutrition differs for almost everyone and how personal it can be. Nutrition is a big part of our lives and should be taken seriously.

The health topic I am most passionate about is fitness and nutrition. I might be cheating by saying both, but the truth is that fitness and nutrition go hand in hand. The human body is kept healthy by exercise and good eating, and that is what makes this health topic so important to me. For me, a healthy life is a good life and I believe everyone can live a better life by eating healthy and hitting the gym.

Currently I am most passionate about nutrition and exercise, and how both of these things together can improve well-being and result in better health and less diseases. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables and a low-carb and low sugar diet is shown to reduce diseases like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Exercise also helps by improving blood flow and improving mood, and augmented with diet, is a better solution that many medications.

I am very passionate about the topics of health disparities and inequities around the globe. I feel that everyone has the right to be healthy and we will not achieve optimal health conditions globally unless we account for every person that tends to be left behind due to societal conditions and beliefs. This is the reason health disparities and inequities is so important to me.
