Nutrition: Key to an Active Life

Definition of Food and Nutrition

Food

Any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells to provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth.

Nutrition

Refers to the process by which living organisms obtain and utilize food material for maintaining health and growth. It encompasses the intake of nutrients, their digestion, absorption, and assimilation into the body.

How Food Works For You

Food is the fuel that powers your body. Here’s how it works:

1. Energy Production: Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are broken down to produce energy.

2. Growth and Repair: Proteins provide the building blocks for muscle, tissue, and cell repair.

3. Body Regulation: Vitamins and minerals help in the regulation of body processes such as metabolism, hydration, and maintaining a healthy immune system.

Many people have limiting beliefs about food that can hinder their nutritional goals. Some common beliefs include:

• "Carbs are bad for you." Not all carbs are bad. Complex carbohydrates provide essential energy.

• "Fat makes you fat." Healthy fats are crucial for brain function and overall health.

• "Skipping meals helps you lose weight." Regular meals help maintain metabolism and prevent overeating.
