Nutrition is the provision, to cells and
organisms, of the materials necessary
(in the form of food) to support life.
Many common health problems can be
prevented or alleviated with a healthy
diet.
A poor diet can have an injurious impact
on health, causing deficiency and
diseases.
Good nutrition requires a satisfactory
diet, which is capable of supporting the
individual in a state of good health by
providing the desired nutrients in
required amounts.

just plain lousy. Bad nutrition can have an effect on your potential growth

A Balance Diet
The key to a healthy lifestyle and keeping your weight in check is
following a balance diet that includes all the right foods in the
right amounts.
The term "balanced diet", is a diet that includes a combination of
several different food types, including grains and pulses, fresh
fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy products, fats and oils.
The idea of a balance diet is including foods in the right
proportions; the aim is to get all the nutrients your body needs
while maintaining a healthy weight. There should be a lot of some
foods and just a little of others. Some fats and oils, for example,
are important in the diet for various reasons, including absorption
of fat-soluble vitamins. But you only need a small amount
compared with foods such as vegetables.
A healthy diet plan is a key ingredient to a long and healthy life.
Food Guide Pyramid
The food pyramid, is an excellent tool to help you make healthy food
choices, can help you choose from a variety of foods so you get the
nutrients you need, and the suggested serving sizes can help you
control the amount of calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sugar or
sodium in your diet.
