Nutrition

Nutrition is the intake of food based on the body’s requirements. A good nutrition comprises of an adequate, well balanced diet and is important for good health. Poor nutrition leads to increased susceptibility to diseases as a result of weakened immune system and retarded physical and mental development in children.

Over the last 20 years research has shown that nutritional choices affect the development and progression of most chronic health conditions present in the United States. Proper nutritional choices can help reduce your risk for these diseases while improper nutrition choices decreases your risk. Unfortunately, the food culture in the United States promotes quick, non-nutrient dense meals as our regular occurrence. Despite popular belief, eating healthy does not have highly expensive and it does not always have to be highly time-consuming either. Many convenience options are available for healthy foods now.
