The Body as a Vessel
The body is a marvelous yet intricate vessel-like structure made up of many organic components that work mechanically and chemically, but it depends on energy to function. Nutrition is the primary source from which the body obtains that energy. The body was formed from the soil, which is made up of nutrients. Having a fundamental understanding of the nutrients and how they function can give you a working knowledge and a more meaningful perspective about nutrition.
Importance of a Balanced Diet
Establishing a balanced diet can improve your overall health both physically and mentally. Without the right diet, the body can't perform at its best. Remember, balance is the key.
Physiological Functions of Nutrition
Nutrition is also the main factor that provides an equilibrium within the body's physiological environment, which involves important chemical functions, such as nitrogen balance equilibrium, body neutrality, homeostasis, and osmotic pressure.
