All investments involve some degree of risk. Investment of time or effort is the spending of time or effort on something in order to make it a success.
Talking about investment in Nutrition and Diet as an individual, Victor Ajieroh said, “Investment is broadly about the range of resources that you as an individual need to put into your health and nutrition so that you’re functional, productive and effective.
It is also about what you do for yourself, your children and your family and that ecosystem around you that leads to the productivity, well-being, and prosperity that you want to see.”

If you invest properly in nutrition, you won’t be falling sick. Investing in nutrition is one of the most cost-effective drivers for development and prosperity.
