STATEMENT:

Living organisms are temporary aggregates of molecules extracted from their environment. To stay
alive living organisms have to maintain and renew themselves. The process of maintenance and renewal is a continuous effort. One can truly say that we are what we eat, drink, and breathe or better that
we are what we absorb from what we eat, drink, and breathe. A deficiency in the diet results in mediocre health condition and shorter lifespan.
