Nutrition and Health

Nutrition involves the intake of foods that supply the essential nutrients your body needs to function properly, grow, and repair itself. These nutrients include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Good nutrition supports overall health, boosts the immune system, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Maintaining a balanced diet—eating a variety of foods in appropriate amounts—is key to ensuring your body gets what it needs. Proper nutrition, combined with regular physical activity, promotes wellbeing, energy, and longevity.
