Introduction

My name is Ashley, and I decided to write this blog because I took a Nutrition course at the University of Colorado Boulder instructed by Dr. Suzanne Nelson. I learned valuable nutritional based knowledge most of which I believe everybody should be aware of in his or her day-to-day lives. This blog is not meant to persuade anybody into changing their lifestyle, but merely to present the facts. I want to teach my readers about what they are putting into their bodies everyday and how it could potentially affect them. I also have found that most of the topics I have chosen for this blog not only make a difference in our bodies, but also in the environment, which I believe is a win-win. At the end of each post I will post a couple of fun facts about nutrition just to further the readers knowledge and perhaps interest. Besides, everybody needs a party fact in their pocket! I will also post the links to where I am receiving my information incase anyone would like to further the research. Ultimately, I want this blog to be full of interesting, fun, nutrition knowledge without it feeling like your reading a research paper (snooze!). If anyone has any questions for me or wants to suggest a topic please feel free to leave a comment! Now lets get started!
