World Nutrition Day (celebrated on May 28) is a global movement to highlight the transformative power of nutrition. Food is not just fuel—it's the foundation of our body, cells, energy, mood, and long-term health. This day reminds us about the importance of nutrition and to reconnect with the joy of eating well, moving away from restrictive diets and towards nourishment that honors our bodies' natural needs. But nowadays, why does "healthy eating" often feel like "dieting"? The word "diet" carries baggage—images of sacrifice, restriction, and joyless meals. Our ancestors didn't diet; they nourished themselves with whole foods from the earth, eating in harmony with nature. Today, we're bombarded with processed foods and quick-fix trends that disconnect us from this wisdom.
