how nutrition affects personality
development ?
• Apart from the environmental inputs
which have lasting effects on a person’s
personality, good nutrition, balanced in
both macro and micro nutrients is of
vital importance. When we talk about
the cognitive abilities of a person, we
refer to the attention, memory, thinking,
learning and perception of that person.
All of these in the years to come, go on
to shape the skills and the general
abilities of a person and have a direct
relationship with a person’s
achievements, including access to better
literacy, lifestyle, self esteem and self
control.
• As we go on to grow through our lives,
the food we eat; in other words nutrition,
among other factors, go on to play an
important role in our personality.
