Fueling Your Wellness: Nutrition Quotes for a Healthier You

Nutrition refers to the study of how the food we eat affects our health and well-being. It encompasses all aspects of food intake, including the types and amounts of food we consume, the body’s absorption and use of nutrients, and how food affects our overall health and disease risk. A balanced and varied diet, rich in essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and fibers, is crucial for maintaining optimal health and preventing chronic diseases. Additionally, poor nutrition can contribute to a range of health problems, including obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. Therefore, paying attention to nutrition is an important aspect of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
