nutrition and diet plan

Nutrition is the provision to cells and organisms, of the materials necessary (food!) to support life. Providing each cell and cellular structure with the nutrients, vitamins and minerals they need for optimal function. Common health problems can be prevented or eased through effective nutrition.

Diet - Refers to what an organism eats. Dietitians specialize in human nutrition, economics, food preparation & planning etc. Poor diet can also cause health-threatening illnesses like obesity, anorexia, metabolic syndrome and systemic diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and osteoporosis.

It has been proven, that eating a wide variety of fresh, whole unprocessed foods, is favorable vs. eating a monotonous diet based on processed foods. There are seven main classes of nutrients, each of which can be further broken down into macro nutrients (needed in fairly large amounts) and micro nutrients (needed in much smaller quantities). The seven classes are: carbohydrates, fats, fiber, minerals, proteins, vitamins and water.

Nutritional Supplement - The Good Food, Bad Food Myth

We’ve all seen stories on the news about a new miracle food. “Eat more carrots and your eyesight will improve,” or “Eating raspberries reduces heart disease, cancer, etc…” and what about the reports on wine and alcohol consumption? Regardless of whether the news reports are based on fact or fiction, what’s important to realize is that no single food will bring you good health or destroy your health.

Unfortunately people persist in classifying foods as healthy or unhealthy. Relying on various media and advertising adds to the confusion as terminology used implies that a food is either ‘good’ or ‘bad’ based on which term is used to describe the food. Although nutrition and diet shouldn’t be oversimplified, it also doesn’t need to be rocket science either. A good diet is about sensible choices and choosing foods that are nutrient dense. The more nutrients you can include in your diet the more balanced your nutrition will be. You can achieve balanced nutrition most easily by including a wide variety of foods in your diet and choosing appropriate, high-quality nutritional supplements.
