What is nutrition?
Do you have any idea what nutrition is all about? I mean you
probably have heard about it in advertisements, medical books, magazines and
your local doctor but what is nutrition really about?
Do you like to eat? I do! Why am i asking you this? Is it
related to nutrition?
The answer is YES!
But first, we have to understand that nutrition is different
from just eating food. When you eat that piece of steak, you gain all the
goodness of the meat, the flavour, the aroma and even the look of the food and it
makes you want to munch for more! It’s generating that appetizing feeling that
will lead you to the process of eating! But that is not nutrition, really.
When you eat, certain “chemicals” or nutrients
in food (which you do not get to see) are being utilized by the body to help
those little cells and organism inside, gain the energy they need to power up
which then keeps us going through out the day. Aside from that these cells and
organism gain access to materials they need to heal our wounds, to keep your
eyes bright and clear, even keep your hair from falling.
So what’s nutrition? Well it is all about the intake of
these nutrients and being used up in the body which in turn makes our daily
body processes going in optimal condition! The best part about it all is that with adequate and proper nutrition one can prevent diseases and illnesses!
Have we gone to technical? I hope
not! This site is supposed to make nutrition interesting and simple! The Hell
with it!
