Nutrition
Nutrition is the step by step process of assimilation and utilization of food. We are well aware of the importance of what we eat as a controllable aspect of wellness. Our intake of solid and liquid nourishment in many ways determines health. A healthy diet is one that is balanced and diverse.
Nutrition is concerned with the ways our foods and beverages look, taste, smell, dissolve, combine, interact, ingest, absorb, digest and eliminate. The study area of nutrition is packed with fact and opinion, myth and folklore. Diet and nutrition is layered with culture and custom. Whether we cook gourmet or prefer simple fare, understanding food is one more way to choose healthy living.
