Nutritional Analysis

Nutrition is the food you eat and how the body uses it. We eat food to live, to grow, to keep healthy and well, and to get energy for work and play. Healthy eating is fundamental to good health and is a key element in healthy human development, from the prenatal and early childhood years to later life stages. Healthy eating is equally important in reducing the risk of many chronic diseases. Healthy eating patterns are a result of skills and strategies for managing all types of food. Knowing the nutritional values of some basic foods can help you learn which foods provide too much or too little of the nutrients that concern you.

Micronutrients, literally meaning “small nutrients,” refer to the vitamins and minerals that are essential for metabolic processes in our bodies. They are needed in minute amounts compared to macronutrients and do not provide energy in the form of calories. Carbohydrates, proteins and fats are all important macronutrients for our bodies. Because they are the main sources of fuel for the body, it is important to eat a balanced diet that contains all three nutrients.In addition to protein, fat and carbohydrate, our bodies need vitamins and minerals to function properly. Exercise also plays a key component in our general well being and health and therefore warrants integration within our lifestyle.
