    "Eating Habit in Universities" (The role of media on how to promote healthy eating)
    (Tangaza University College, 2011) Kemunto, Minyonga
    This production is about a sensitive topic which touches human interest. We are living in a world whereby everybody is aiming at doing things differently so as to be unique from others. That is why I have decided to tackle the issue of nutrition. Eating is a choice that we all make whether good or bad it entirely depends on the individual. No matter what it takes to make choices on what to eat at what time and place, little we often consider the choices we make whether we are eating proper nutrition, under nutrition or over nutrition. Clemency Mitchell., observes that Lour own choices can lead us to better health and longer life or poor health and early death". Hence the question, why do we eat? There are so many possible answers to this question some may say we eat to live whereas others may say it is because we enjoy food and others it can be to satisfy hunger. But with the curiosity of nutntion in mind there is more than this, referring to Oomen and Grubben.,2"We eat food so that our bodies may get what it needs to grow and to be healthy". However, eating habit is a trend which is not taken seriously in this present generation. As much as we are entitled to eat anything which one feels like, it is also paramount to observe health laws. These laws will guide us on what to eat, how we should eat and maintain our bodies. The importance of nutrition cannot be overstated knowing very well that our bodies are the temples of God and that the same God gave us the ability to fulfill the responsibility of taking care of them. According to Nathaniel Otieno Oloo.,'" proper nutrition is not a luxury, but a divine obligation. Improper nutrition can have devastating consequences, even resulting in death" We should always remember that, we are fearfully and wonderfully made and it is for this reason that we should be on the look out on what to give our bodies. This is also attributed by Clemency Mitchell., 4"our bodies are wonderfully designed machines, and if treated well they work very efficiently and economically". Even the bible reminds us that.,5"if you listen carefully to the voice of your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians. for Earn the Lord who heals you"
