Nutrition: Nutrient Intake

Nutrition is the intake of nutrients necessary for the building, maintenance, and reproduction of living organisms. Through proper preparation, food is made readily digestible and thus well utilized by the human body.

There is hardly any area of life, and certainly none related to illness and prevention, that is not connected to nutrition. Its importance cannot be overstated. A balanced, vitamin- and fiber-rich diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables, little fat and refined sugar, sufficient protein, little alcohol – and the necessary enjoyment of it all – keeps you fit and vital.
