What is Nutrition?

What exactly is Nutrition?

Talk about a loaded question.

I think first off, it is important to talk about what Nutrition is NOT.
Nutrition is NOT a diet.
Nutrition is NOT about losing weight.
Nutrition is NOT a fad.
Nutrition is NOT something that you do for 4-6 weeks, then go back to old habits.

What Nutrition IS, is making sure you are putting the right things in your body, so that your body will have all the nutrients necessary to function at its best.

Some of what you take in will be used as fuel to run all of the body’s functions. Some of what you take in will be used to repair and rebuild the body. Good Nutrition gives you good materials to work with. Poor nutrition creates inferior results.

So the saying “You are what you eat” is accurate. Your body is going to break down what you eat and use the nutrients to run its functions and repair itself. Give your body what it needs to be at its best and you won’t be sorry. We’ll explore more of the ins and outs of Nutrition as we move forward.

Until next time, be healthy my friends.
