Hip-Hop for Nutrition is a coalition of international artist, to educate itself and others in the field of nutrition not only for the body but for the mind by education.
Nutrition is the science that interprets the interaction of nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism. It includes food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism, and excretion.
The diet of an organism is what it eats, which is largely determined by the availability and palatability of foods. For humans, a healthy diet includes preparation of food and storage methods that preserve nutrients from oxidation, heat or leaching, and that reduce risk of foodborne illnesses.
In humans, an unhealthy diet can cause deficiency-related diseases such as blindness, anemia, scurvy, preterm birth, stillbirth and cretinism, or nutrient excess health-threatening conditions such as obesity and metabolic syndrome; and such common chronic systemic diseases as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Under-nutrition can lead to wasting in acute cases, and the stunting of marasmus in chronic cases of malnutrition.
Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits. Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, but learners may also educate themselves. Education can take place in formal or informal settings and any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational. The methodology of teaching is called pedagogy.
Formal education is commonly divided formally into such stages as preschool or kindergarten, primary school, secondary school and then college, university, or apprenticeship.
A right to education has been recognized by some governments and the United Nations. In most regions, education is compulsory up to a certain age.
With a healthy body and educated mind our survival from day to day will be at an optimal level. We plan to network with individuals, not-for profit, for profits, and government entities internationally to achieve this goal, starting locally here in the central valley of the State of California, United States, where it is known for exporting tons of food products globally.
Members of our coalition are not only only musical artist but but creatives from all fields/genres and open to all citizens globally.
The common ground to us all is survival so we can come together and join the global community in this worthwhile project for the common good!
