nutrition

Nutrition is the science involving how nutrients and other substances in food interact as regards health, disease, reproduction, growth, and maintenance of an organism. Nutrition includes the intake of food, its absorption, its assimilation, its biosynthesis, its catabolism and finally, its excretion. However, for the purposes of this blog, the term “nutrition” would most often refer to the food intake part in relation to the dietary needs of the human body. A well-balanced diet coupled with regular exercise equals good nutrition, which is a foundation of good health.
