NutritionNutrition is the provision, to cells and organisms, of the materials necessary (in the form of food) to support life. Many common health problems can be prevented or alleviated with a healthy diet. A poor diet can have an injurious impact on health, causing deficiency and diseases. Good nutrition requires a satisfactory diet, which is capable of supporting the individual in a state of good health by providing the desired nutrients in required amounts.

A Balanced DietThe key to a healthy lifestyle and keeping your weight in check is following a balanced diet that includes all the right foods in the right amounts.The term "balanced diet", is a diet that includes a combination of several different food types, including grains and pulses, fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy products, fats and oils. The idea of a balanced diet is including foods in the right proportions; the aim is to get all the nutrients your body needs while maintaining a healthy weight

CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF BAD

NUTRITION

“The Food Guide Pyramid, helps you everyday to have a

Nuts group

EFFECTS OF A GOOD NUTRITION

The effects of good nutrition on the body are as visible as the effects of bad nutrition on the body. The difference is that the bad nutrition can destroy the body, while good nutrition only supports and builds up the body.

Apparently when people suffer from nutritional imbalance, they can suffer from psychological imbalances as well.Bad nutrition not only affects us physically, but it also affects us emotionally, and mentally. We must remember that our brain is a part of our body, and need nutrients just as other parts of our bodies do.
