What is Nutrition?


Nutrition is the study of nutrients in foods, how the body utilizes these nutrients, and how it relates to diet, health, and disease. Do people ever think about what they put in their mouths everyday? How many calories they consume? Why are you even eating? Sometimes people eat because they are bored, sad, mealtime, or just because these candies are your guilty pleasure.


Good Nutrition provides energy. The foods you eat provide you with the energy to function. Just like putting grade A oil into a Ferrari, people need to put in good food into their body. You are what you eat right? if you do not have proper nutrition, your body will lack one or more essential nutrients and will not be able to function normally.
