When talking about food, it's of high Important that we hold such discussion with high esteem and as well thoroughly verify what we take into our body system, because the kind of food we consume as the capacity to either make or mar our body system, by nourishing/boosting our system or inflicting damage on them.
So that being said, I'll like to tell you what prompted this write-up, which is this edition of the feature topic of the @hive-learners Community, we were ask to discuss about the two types of food we do eat, there importances and which we prefer between both, so without further ado, come along, as I take you through my opinion.
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. - Virginia Woolf
What the above quote by Virginia Woolf is saying is that, in as much as we want to enjoy and live life to the fullest, then food Important can never we sideline out of the equation, Because once it's out of it, then you've pave way for wariness and lagging that'll disrupt your dreams, aspiration and might even lead to your death.
Today the following will be going under my surgical knife for better understanding;
- Processed Food
- Natural Food
PROCESSED FOODS
Personally, I believe processed foods, are food that as good through different procedure and chemical addictions, in other for them to become available to the general public at every given time, with little or no need for extra preparation before such is been consumed, so in other word, what I'm saying is that processed food can be tag to be the regular food we address as fast food in our present world, example of which are bread, noodles, and sealed foods like sweet corn, tomatoes paste, sardines etc...
These forms of food has alot of Importance to mankind, and below are some of such;
- They are sweet and also nourish our body system.
- They are easy to come by.
- They easy to prepare, since most as been prepared from factory.
The above list are great, but then it also has it side effects to us, and they are;
- The chemical used in preserving then can cause have different effects on us and could even lead to diseases like cancer.
- Other effect of the chemicals are obesity or high blood pressure.
NATURAL FOODS
In my opinion, I believe natural foods are the gift of nature we were blessed with, and they're in form of fruits, crops and vegetables, these kind of stuff is very important to all human as they go a long way in aiding our growth, health, immune system and much more.
Some of it other important are;
- Natural medicine that heals different illness and diseases.
- Natural skincare treatment, via the nutrients embedded in them, they literally make the skin glow.
- They are more cheaper and could even be grown by oneself, with less need for additions of chemical and co.
With that being said, it's worthy of note that natural foods also have it side effects, which are;
- Stomach upset due to excessive gas in those natural food.
- Intoxication, this can be sighted for example, when using nature herbs for treatment, we all know unlike tablet, that is been prescribed, herbs amount that will be excessive to our body system can't really be decide.
MY OPINION
So in between both, if I'm to be in a position to advice on which to go for between both, then I'll go with natural foods, Because it's a natural healer that does more good than harm to our body system.
Thanks so much for checking out my blog post, have a blessed and productive day.
Eating natural foods is always the preferred way to go as they contain better nutrients, less chemicals, helps support the local farmers, et cetera.
Unfortunately not all countries and areas are able to purchase fresh foods to consume due to poverty, living as refugees, homelessness, severe weather conditions and other reasons beyond their control. 🔊🆘️🌪🌀🌩🔥
It's always a good idea to have a supply of canned and dry food, dry legumes, pasta noodles, seeds and nuts, bottled waters, and emergency food on hand in case of emergencies and for the reasons just mentioned.
Excellent post! @vickoly 🙌
Greetings @ninahaskin
You've taken this to a whole new level, and it's been an eye opener, of a truth like you said, not all nations as the appropriate soil, weather conditions to grow these foods, so importing of such which as gone through some process won't be a bad choice, in order for them to get the a substantial meal.
Also in the cases of the refugees too, these can be put into consideration as well, that even though the effect of these foods are known, the major human survival norms which is food, shouldn't be swept aside in the bid to sticking with natural foods alone.
I really appreciate you stopping by and sharing your thoughts, it's a previlege to draw from your well of wisdom.
Have a blessed day.
It was a pleasure reading your post!
A blessed day to you, my friend🙌
Thanks so much dear friend for your great review.
Have a blessed week ahead.
Wow.... A detailed explanation of this great topic..
Food is really essential and I really love that quote by virginia, one can't think well or do well without eating which is capital truth...
Your choice for the natural foods ain't bad I think we just saw the same reasons to prefer the natural foods...
Nice entry bro 💞💞🙏
You're words and review are greatly appreciated, yea you're right about her quote, we need a fuel (food) for our system to function properly.
It's also good to know you also prefer natural foods.
Have a great day.
Thanks bro 💙🙏
You're welcome boss.
You content is not too long and precise, I like the fact you analyzed the topic and share both the pro and con of processed and natural food and not just being in one side like a debate.
Short question
Is Garri ( cassava granules) a processed or natural food?😁🤔
Smile thanks fir your wonderful review of my write-up, I really appreciate it.
Garri is a processed food, and via the spreading, burning/smoke chemical and co, different unseen air and as been ushered into it.
You are welcome.
I thought as well. Na only God dey say persin.
Thanks for the enlightenment
You're welcome brother, in as much as God save us, we should try not to be negligence to the things we know.
👍
Food greatly affects our health. Natural foods are very good for our bodies because they contain many nutrients that are good for the body so that our bodies become healthy.
That's correct my friend, and I've glad you understood what I'm my point.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts,have a blessed day.
I'm happy to share my thoughts with you. Have a nice day 👍
Thanks.🤝
The importance of natural foods cannot be overemphasized but we consume more of processed foods.
Processed foods are not as bad as we think they are, because they were gotten from our natural foods. The only reason why it's harmful to us is because we don't know how to regulate our intake of them.
Thanks for stopping by, you've said well, but then I'll like to come in by letting you know that preservative used on processesd are very harmful to us, the same with other chemicals used in the processing stages.
Another are the heat, smoke and other harmful components that attack to it during the process of production.
But I'm not totally condemning it, Because I also state it Importance above.
And in the end moderation is what matters in all we eat and do.
Have a great day.
Yes you are right, taking both moderately is what's best.
It's my pleasure Sir 🤗.
Smile, thanks once again.

Absolutely right my friend 🤗
Natural food is the best food for human body and it's cure's many diseases from body.
That's absolutely true my friend, it's a healer on its own, thanks for sharing your opinion.
Nothing cam be compared to natural food. It's the best. It's just that the society has affected many things. Can't count how many timeIve picked gala on the street on my way out in traffic.
You're on point brother, natural foods are indeed great and can't be compared, but our world today, we're more surrounded by processesd foods, but in as much as we take them, we should do it moderately.
No ne lie bro.
That quote is deeper thsn one can really think of. Basically, its saying that food can never be sidelined in life, hence its called a basic need.
Both kinds of food has its pros and cons. And in this age, we can not do without the two. Good job here, man!
Yes the quote is just a broad narrative of men journey embedded in few words, thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts, in as much as we take in both, we should work towards moderation in all.
Thanks so much for the tip.
You're welcome friend 😊.
Well said... No doubt, natural foods are the best.
Though it may have it's disadvantages too but it's far better than processed foods.
Thanks for giving us a detailed information about the topic.
Glad to know you grab the point and as well agree with me on which is more preferable.

While natural food can be cheap and easy to prepare, they usually take quite a lot of time. And then, especially in this our country, natural food is becoming way more expensive than processed. All has its own perks, I guess.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Well you're right, but for someone like me who's into farming, I don't have to spend much in other to get these items, once planted all I need is patience.
You're very correct. Refined/processed food posses more health challenges than natural foods. Before the surge of these processed foods,people lived more healthy lives. But these days, alot of health problems associated with what people eat expecially processed foods
That's exactly where I'm driving at, the processed food usher in most of these illness.
