Food refers
to the material taken into your system that serves to sustain normal bodily
functions. You are what you eat may be an old proverb, but it couldn’t be
closer to the truth. Your food habits nourish your body and can influence your
risk of developing heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure
and one of the modern world’s leading epidemic, obesity.
Food is a
prerequisite for nutrition. in simple language, Nutrition is food at work in
your body. It includes everything that happens to the food from the time you
swallow it, to its digestion and till the time it is used by your body for
various functions. The process of nutrition determines what nutrients your body
needs, in what amounts and from which foods you could obtain these.
