Food is made up of nutrients. Micronutrients such as
vitamins and minerals are needed only in small amounts. Macronutrients such as
carbohydrates, protein and fat are needed in larger amounts. The body cannot
function properly if one or more nutrients are missing. A healthy and balanced
diet provides foods in the right amounts and combinations that are safe and
free from disease and harmful substances.
Food is essential for our bodies to
Develop, replace and repair cells and tissues
Produce energy to keep warm, move and work
Carry out chemical processes such as the digestion of food
Protect against, resist and fight infection and recover from
sickness
.
.
Your diet is a bank account. Good food choices
are good investments.
Bethenny Frankel
“The greatest wealth is Health.”
“Let food be
thy medicine and medicine be thy food”
Hippocrates
