Getting the food and nourishment you require for your health and growth is referred to as nutrition ! Nutrition , is the amount of food that we require as a living being in order to sustain our cells . Although we can obtain nutrients through items like vitamin supplements , when we talk about nutrition , we mostly refer to the nutrients that come from food . Nutrients are what we need to nourish and care for ourselves and to live happy , healthy lives . 😍

Still many people don't know - Why is proper nutrition crucial for us ? 🤔

The fact that nourishment derives from nutrients is the key to understanding why it is so important for people . Without nutrition , we deteriorate physically and eventually become ill or perhaps pass away . We fall short of developmental milestones and are unable to subject our bodies to the necessary daily mental and physical strain . We may not be able to reproduce ourselves , nor are we able to grow . 💪

The body uses nutrients as fuel to break down food so that it can be used to repair and build cells and tissue , which is essentially how our metabolism works . ✅

Proteins , carbs , lipids , vitamins , minerals , fibre , and water are the seven main types of nutrients that the healthy human body requires to survive . We need a lot of macronutrients , although we can get by with a little less of micronutrients (the vitamins and minerals) .

Eat healthy , Stay fit ! 💪✨

Happy Nutrition Week ! 💪✅
