Contest: I am what I eat

Edited on pixelLab

That saying "I am what i eat" partially define us. What we are or who we are involves our personal values, passions, relationships, and life experiences. Our food choices can tell what we are externally not our inner part of the body. People do say "You're so healthy and cute, you're eating good meals I guess", they're right in some aspect because what we take into our body as food will surely display in our flesh depending on our body system.

Our choice of food surely display what we believe in and also describe us as a person. My friend once said "You're a strong man and you'll always want to be strong forever". Why is he saying this? He says this everytime because of my favorite food which is plantain. The food i eat shows that i believe in strength and power, also revealing who i really am.

I've noticed this on several occasions. Our body system is different and responds to food we eat differently. I noticed changes in my mood and lack of energy when i ate bitterleaf soup.

The day i ate this food, i was so weak and dizzy and i spent most of the hours at the restroom because i was porching. For my safety, i stopped eating such meals and anytime my parents feel like preparing it, I'll cater for myself that day because i don't want such thing to happen again.

Like i said earlier, plantain is my best food and it shows or represent strength in me. We have numerous ways of preparing plantain, being it pepper soup, porridge and the likes of them. My preferable ingredients is crayfish, meat, fish, Periwinkle, pepper, maggi, salt, onions, oil and most importantly curry leaf.

Adding all these ingredients to my plantain automatically makes it porridge plantain. I apply all these ingredients because of its benefits to our health. Curry leaf in the other hand gives me that aroma that trips me to get rid of the food quick.

Every society has their traditional food and these foods are so important to them to the extent of preparing it during every occasion organized in that society. My traditional food is Afang soup with fufu and it's so important to me and my identity. It's important because this is the most served food in my society, also 98% of the people attending any occasion will always love to taste the Afang soup

It's always difficult at times to keep this balance because we humans love tasty and yummy things. To balance this smoothly, i take more of non surgery things then take less surgery things so as to maintain the balance. Tasty things are sweet on our tongue but it comes with it's own bad results.

Food is very crucial in our health because it's what keeps us alive after God. When we're healthy we'll be proud of ourselve, that's the truth. Our choice of food shows who we are and describe what we believe in, so we should all try to maintain good health by eating nutritious meals and always remember to balance the equation between tasty treats and staying healthy.
