What is Nutrition?

What is nutrition…? The Science of nutrition is based on the understanding that 'adequate nutrition is the foundation upon which good health is built'. Without adequate nutrition our ability to repair and rebuild ourselves is being greatly challenged, and recovery from illness, injury or stress related conditions will be poor. Not only that, but studies have shown that premature aging, and most chronic and serious diseases can be averted by eating a balanced, healthy diet-YES! It really is that simple! Adequate nutrition is what protects health.
