Welcome to nutrition!
What is nutrition?
Nutrition is the study of all the many ways our bodies utilize what we eat; and also the study of all the many ways what we eat, or don’t eat, affects our bodies. Remember the story of those poor sailors in early maritime history who were stricken with a disease later identified as scurvy? That problem was solved when they began carrying lemons on the voyages, thus providing the sailors with a vitamin essential to life: Vitamin C.
The abililty of our bodies to experience optimal health is often dependant upon the choices we make in regard to what we eat. Making the best choices requires some knowledge about nutrition basics .
Knowing the facts and figures about a subject is one thing; knowing how to apply those facts and figures to our everyday lives is quite another. nutrition news will provide information that is sound and reliable.
Optimal nutrition is not going on a diet. However, without sound nutrition maintaining a healthy weight becomes very problematic. Are weight and overall health directly related? You bet they are. This fact is substantiated by the alarming increase in weight related diseases, and the impact this increase has had on the cost of health care.
What am I saying? Too many of us are too big for our britches and it ends up compromising our overall well being. The weight management page will explore the many ways we can aim for a healthy weight.
