Good nutrition is so important to each and every one of us and we can make a start on a healthy regimen easily. Look at the
food we eat, are we getting the nutrition we need, what our diet is like and do we require any supplements.
There are foods groups that not everyone enjoys. Fish for example is a rich source of omega 3 oils and various other nutrients but what if you dont like fish or are even allergic? This is where mineral and vitamin supplements can be of most use. They are no replacement for a good, balanced diet but they can help to provide what we dont get from our food.
Food means any substance which can be used by the body for nourishment that is, for its growth and maintenance. Food is necessary for life. Foods are obtained from plants of many kinds and from birds, fish and animals. A great deal has been found out through science about foods and nutrients and the requirements for a good nutrition.Most of the foods contain several of these nutrients. There is no food in nature which contains all nutrias. So for good nutrition we need to eat different kinds of foods, to know what nutrients they contain and why they are important.
In fact if you need a good nutrition you need to eat 1. Proteins
2. Carbohydrates
3. Fats and Oils
4. Vitamins
5. Minerals
