Nutrition & Diet

Nutrition is the science of how food and drink affect human health. It focuses on the process by which the body takes in and utilizes nutrients—such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water—to support growth, repair tissues, produce energy, and maintain overall well-being.

Good nutrition means consuming a balanced mix of foods that provide the essential nutrients in proper proportions. Poor nutrition, on the other hand, can lead to deficiencies, weakened immunity, and chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular issues.
