This question addresses nutrition and fitness more to ensure that everybody in society enjoys good nutrition and recognizes the importance of having or instead engaging themselves in the daily finesses. Nutrition is the biochemical and Physiological process whereby an organism that utilize food for the purpose of supporting their its life. It includes the main subjects like assimilation, catabolism, biosynthesis and excretion. Fitness is the state of being mentally and physically fit with good health. In other words, it is the capability of conducting the daily activities with more alertness and vigor with no undue fatigue having enough energy for enjoying life. Both nutrition and fitness involve several aspects of the discussion; for instance, the main aspects of nutrition include proteins, fats, water, fibre, vitamins and carbohydrates. On the other hand, the main aspects of fitness include power, coordination, accuracy, speed, stamina, flexibility, strength and cardiorespiratory Endurance. It is essential that every individual concentrate on the mentioned aspects daily to build their bodies and thus maintain their health. Question two Hunger and malnutrition are the main issues that have become a concern in the discussion of nutrition. However, it is more important to discuss nutrition for many reasons. It helps many individuals who have or are suffering from various diseases due to malnutrition, including anemia, kwashiorkor, and marasmus, thus establishing good and stable immunity (Crowley, Ball and Hiddink 2019). This connection’s fitness becomes important because it helps the victims of such disease maintain a healthy life through exercise. Furthermore, a discussion of nutrition helps individuals realize the great importance of eating healthy food and having healthy diets in their daily lives, for instance, protecting them from contracting many chronic diseases (Anderson and 3 Durstine 2019). It also assists in maintaining good immunity for prevention against the severe Covid 19 pandemic currently disturbing the lives of individuals all around the world (Zildzic et al., 2020). Examples of the most dangerous chronic diseases are high blood pressure, diabetes type 2, obesity and heart disease. Good nutrition is essential because it helps in providing good outcomes during and after pregnancy. Fitness goes hand in hand with nutrition because, in the same way, nutrition does to human health, fitness also assists in bringing good health, supporting the expected growth, maintaining the average weight of the body and reducing the risk of contracting the chronic disease, thus the achievement of the overall well-being and stable health status. Question three Nutrition and fitness are becoming one of the most controversial topics of discussion in society today. The most trending controversies about the topic are hunger and lack of enough food to achieve the nutritional standards among the vulnerable individual due to covid 19 pandemic and other primary issues despite its importance, especially in the pandemic seasons (Calder, 2020). It is challenging for the poor individuals in remote areas to maintain the nutrition standards because their living status won’t allow such. It is because most of them prefer eating foods that will satisfy their hunger and not nutritional standards. On the other hand, fitness is becoming an issue with the people who are always busy, like the working class, thus making the rates of chronic disease increase exponentially or at an average pace. Therefore, society should recognize the importance of having their members participate in serious campaigns emphasizing the need for good nutrition and regular fitness. 4 Question four There are various side issues to address in discussing the chosen topic, which is nutrition and fitness. It includes the importance of physical and psychological fitness and the need for the government to continue engaging the vulnerable communities in the discussion concerning the importance of good nutrition and regular fitness. We also should understand that physical fitness is the capability to conduct aspects of sports, occupations and daily activities. Therefore, the connection between physical fitness and the issue of nutrition and fitness goes hand in hand. Having physical fitness will be a result of having good nutrition, sufficient rest, and moderatevigorous physical exercise. Therefore, addressing the issues mentioned above will educate various members of society regardless of their status on the need to have good health by conducting the regular physical exercise and having a proper diet for better nutrition. Question five Various obstacles surround the discussion on nutrition and fitness, especially for children in the adolescent age (Fühner et al., 2020). One of the most apparent obstacles is that the way individuals respond to good nutrition is not that pleasing. Many people in society today and worldwide are so careless and reluctant that having physical exercise is considered an enormous burden in their lives. The issue of poverty is another excellent obstacle when addressing this issue because poor people do not have enough funds to maintain balanced diets in their daily living. Another obstacle to the discussion of the issue of nutrition is time management. Most of the individuals, more so the working class, do have time to engage themselves in physical exercise to have physical fitness and even psychological fitness. The above obstacles will be summoned by holding conferences on educating members on the importance of good diets and how to develop excellent and balanced diets that won’t be expensive for them. Having proper time management is also essential to the 5 society members. Having a good understanding of nutrition is another way of summoning these issues (Whitney and Rolfes 2018). 6 References Anderson, E., & Durstine, J. L. (2019).
