We all know that eating well is key to a healthy life. But what exactly is nutrition? Nutrition refers to the process of obtaining, consuming, breaking down, and digesting food to provide the energy, nutrients, and resources our bodies need for health and growth.
However, nutrition is about more than just eating and digestion—it encompasses the balance and variety of foods that contribute to your overall wellbeing.
"The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison."
- Ann Wigmore, Holistic Health Practitioner
Nutrition also plays a vital role in emotional and psychological wellbeing. What we eat and drink can influence how we feel, just as our emotions can affect our eating and drinking habits.
Understanding nutrition and achieving a healthy, balanced diet is crucial for supporting not just physical health but also emotional and psychological wellbeing.
