We use Cocoyam to prepare the soup and still use Cocoyam is making the swallow. Cocoyam is very good in the body. It has antioxidants that help fight some diseases. It a very good meal for diabetes patient, elderly people.

My second meal is African salad with groundnut and in my local name, it is know as edita-iwa ye mmansang. Some people take it as food while some take it as snacks but the important thing is the benefits. A combination of cassava and groundnut. Other thing like pear, coconut, fish can also be use alongside with this cassava. Cassava gives the body carbohydrates while the nut gives the body fat and oil all work together to build up the body.

My third food is banana porridge called as Otoh-mboro in my local name. The banana(unripe) is smash before using it in preparing this food. Banana is a good source of fiber. It contains, vitamin and minerals that nourishes the body. The meal is good for both, babies and adults.

Do Humans Eat To Live Or Live To Eat? Give Reason.

Human live to eat not eat to live. This is because, if human eat to live, he/she will not be mindful of what goes into the stomach, weather it will be harmful to the body or not, if the food is toxic or not. But when human live to eat, he/she will know the kind of food to eat so as to stay healthy and continue living.

Another thing is that, if human eat to live. There is a possibility of eating and not living. Am not saying, those that live to eat doesn't die but in essence, humans live to eat.

In conclusion The body needs food to grow well. Eating healthy diet food is one of the best to promote growth and healthy living.
