Nutrition
is about more than merely eating well. It is about eating wisely, with a
view to the needs of your body rather than your appetite. Your body needs
a variety of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, proteins, fats and trace
elements in order to function as well as it can. Nutrition is about finding
ways to eat that ensure that your body has an adequate amount of all the
things it needs.
A basic knowledge of nutrition helps everyone to realise that food is not
merely a pleasure to be enjoyed, but is also our fuel for living. You are
what you eat, and nutrition helps to make sure that what you eat is the
right fuel for you.
