Nutrition
The foods that we consume play more of a role in
our health than perhaps anything else. It may be a cliché, but the
saying, “you are what you eat”, rings with truth and good nutrition
leads to a healthy body and a sound mind. Read on to learn more
about the science of nutrition.
Nutritionists evaluate the diets of patients and clients
suffering from medical disorders and suggest ways of fighting various
health problems by modifying the patient’s intake of certain food
items. As one nutritionist puts it, “It’s basically all about balance—the
older you get, the more you begin to understand the importance of
balance in your life, and your diet is no exception."
The body requires six main things in order to function
correctly: carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and
water. These all need to be consumed on a daily basis. If one of
these becomes low or high (deficient or excess), a negative impact
occurs on the body and illness or a general feeling of being unwell
may result.
