Nutrition and Wellness
Food is our sustenance. We consume it, break it down, absorb and metabolize it. We taste, smell and feel it, It feeds our culture and our controversies. We place it in special serving dishes and celebrate with it. It comforts us, nourishing our bodies and our soul. The importance of diet to health, especially in the prevention and cure of illness, is slowly becoming apparent. Dietary factors play a prominent role in five out of the ten leading causes of death for Americans. Thus, it is important to emphasize the relationship of diet to the occurrence of chronic disease and to understand how wholesome food is necessary for good health.
Eating is a source of considerable pleasure and an important part of our lives. It is not necessary to lessen this pleasure by following a healthy diet plan. By knowing what nutrients are, how they relate to different diseases, and how to make choices in selecting and preparing foods, it is quite possible to feel good and enjoy life equally or more.
