“Food is a fantastic ocean of dollars”

I'm sorry to say that. I just want my write-up to be catchy. I want everyone here to understand me even to the least. That food is not what we eat, food is everything fantastic. If it is not fantastic, it is not food, it is poison. For example, unmarried men sleeping with ladies on the street, their lives becomes bittered. Why? Sex with the wrong people and gender are not food, it's a poison.

From this perspective, I defined food as:

“Any substance eating to generate happiness, good health and energy”.

Excuse me! There are different definitions by different scholars. In most cases, definitions of terms are based on the philosophers suffering or encounters. However my case differs. The definition of food above was given out of my constants and digestible research to help the Agricultural networking system know their kinds of production.

Snapped with my Infinix Smart 6 plus

(1) Okra soup

For weeks now I've been cooking Okra soup. There are lot of health benefit in Okra soup. Especially when all the ingredients are available. Ingredients like smoked fishes, meat, stockfish, crayfish, palm oil, vegetable leaf. Some of the health benefits are:

✅ Okra is rich in Vitamin A and C and also rich in antioxidants.

“the antioxidants helps in reducing the risks of serious health conditions like cancer, diabetes, stroke and etc”.

There are many other health benefits of okra to the body.... But let's not fuse our mind into one alone. There are many others

(2) Rice

There are kinds of food in my Locality that does not require hormone for decomposition. Heat of the stomach alone is capable of liquifying it automatically. But Rice here is a carbohydrate. Infact, before pancreas release the hormone insulin, something must have given it a signal, and that is after the decomposition process.
Rice is the body main fuel—implying that it's of more benefits to humanity. Like the brown rice, is an Institution of somuch nutrients such as fiber, manganese, selenium, magnesium, and vitamin B.

(3) Beans mixture

Depending on where you were brought up. Without anyone telling you, beans is of essential increase to the body. Beans mixture comprises of different ingredients that makes it attractive. Some prefer living beans in it purified state even after cook; while some prefer adding different kinds of ingredients to make it sweet. Above all, there are much to say of it contribution to human existence;

✅ Beans are a great source of fiber

✅ It boosts your heart health

✅ it's a good food for diet control and development

✅ A magnificent source of iron

(1) It is seen as a material medium intensive growth

Nobody can grow without food. The mechanisms in your stomach need the food you eat to survive. Take for instance, hydrochloric acid has a role in our body. When the stomach is supplied with hydrochloric acid and the stomach is empty, the acid continue to burns the entire wall of the stomach and from there may result to peptic ulcer. So, for one to grow, food is a material medium.

(2) Food is a chemical fuel for the cell to be active.

"Cell is the functional unit of life".
Definition is choice. I choose to define it the way it pleases me. Cells (Somatic or Body cells) (Unicellular or Multicellular) are very essential. And science requires that it must be active at all state. The moment your body cell becomes inactive, it simply means that both the metabolic panel (that helps in breakdown) and the anabolic panel has malfunction....

Remember after the food is converted to blood sugar. The blood enters our bloodstream and immediately signal pancreas which releases insulin to help take the blood sugar into the body cells. Without that processes, the cells won't be active. Because, the energy required by the cell to remain active is the chemical fuel gotten from the blood sugar (saccharide).

(3) Food helps in reproduction
For a pregnant woman to reproduce, she need constants food. The energy for carrying the egg in the womb for months requires sustainancy and that is gotten from the daily feeds. So, food helps in reproduction.

(4) Food saves the body from peptic Ulcer
(5) Food enable the brain to implement it role
(6) Food supplies nutrients to the body.

The truth about this facts is that Humans Eat to Live. What the Bible meant by Prosperity is long life. And long life on earth is not guaranteed by dryness. It's guaranteed by what you eat. For you to prosper on earth, you must eat. Even the Bible has a pronounce of this in Philippians 4:19. Humans live to eat.

In conclusion, I believe that I have been able to convince and not to confuse the steemit community audience that Food is part of life. Thank you for reading, please encourage me by your votes. Thanks.
