Nutrition and Diet

Nutrition refers to the study of how food affects our health and well-being. It focuses on the nutrients—such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals—that our bodies need to function properly. A balanced diet includes a variety of foods to ensure we get the right nutrients in proper amounts. Good nutrition supports growth, repair, and energy, while poor dietary choices can lead to health issues. Understanding nutrition helps individuals make informed food choices, promoting overall health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
