nutrition

This is to try this new blog. I am a nutritionist and I often wonder how people consider their health worth and what they think make their body work. I know plenty of people that love food, any food and they eat because they want to eat not because they have to in order for their body to function well. Some people treat their pets or cars much better than they treat their own body. Some genuinely do not have a clue of what they need to eat and how the body gets their nutrients from. Some have a very good knowledge of what they should eat and not eat. And some people eat healthy but still have ill symptoms or don't feal at an optimal health.


So here is to say that what makes the body work in general are minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, protein, fat good and bad (if you want to define them in this way, but that is another discussion). We get all the above from quality food such as wholemeal grain, fruits, vegetables, beans, lentils, meat and fish products, seeds and nuts as well as any other vegan or vegetarian form of protein. From this the variety of the food is also important, as you get some vitamins and antioxidant from certain food and others from a different food. So in conclusion to this little taster is eat plenty of diffent type of fruits, vegetables, carbohydates and form of protein.


Enjoy your meal and remember why you eat.....
