DEFINITIONS:

NUTRITION- is the sum of all the interactions between an organism and the food it consumes. In other words, nutrition is what a person eats and how the body uses it.

It deals with all the various factors of which they are composed and the way in which proper nourishment is brought about wherein the intake of food and supplements is utilized for maintaining, health, growth and energy. (Nutrition; by Amanda Padilla 2009; page 71) NUTRIENTS- are organic and inorganic substances found in foods that are required for body functioning.

ENUMERATION Importance of Nutrition Eating nutritious food is essential for proper growth and good health of all necessary for growth and wear and tear of our body achieve high stamina and endurance levels only after eating healthy foods provide energy and strength to the body plays an important role in the working of the cells of our body. very essential to stay away from infections, cardiovascular and contagious diseases do the task of building the tissues of the muscles and also maintaining and repairing them are necessary for proper functioning of the body very useful to meet the energy requirements of the body protect the delicate and important organs in the body proper contraction of the muscles and clotting of the blood assist the growth of bones and teeth supplies oxygen to the lungs overall development of the body

Food is more than something to satisfy your appetite. Food is fuel for your body. Each type of nutrient has a specific purpose and meets a specific need that your body has. The SIX NUTRIENTS are: Water Water is a nutrient. It is the most important nutrient. In fact, your body is approximately 50 to 55 percent water. Your body uses water 24 hours a day. A by-product of the energy production in your body is heat. Water regulates your body temperature by dissipating that heat. Water also carries nutrients to the cells in your body. Water does not produce energy.

Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for your body. Carbohydrates power every system in your body, including your brain, heart, muscles and internal organs. Carbohydrate can be simple (table sugar, corn syrup) or complex (whole grain). Simple carbohydrates enter your bloodstream very quickly. That is why you get a sugar high when you eat candy. Complex carbohydrates are processed and used more slowly.

Protein Protein is like the brick and mortar of your body. It is the building blocks that provide the structure for the tissues of your body. Proteins are also used to transport essential elements in your blood stream.

Fats Fat are our storehouses of energy. When we have excess nutrients in our body, some of it is stored as fat. The primary purpose of fat is energy production. There are two main types of fats - saturated and unsaturated. Animal fats (meat, butter, lard) are usually saturated fats and contribute to heart disease and cancer. Vegetable fats (olive oil, corn oil) are generally unsaturated fats and are less harmful. Some fats have been found to be helpful in preventing some cancers and heart disease. These fats called omega-3 fatty acids are found in some fish, especially cold-water fish. MINERALS Minerals are compounds, obtained from your diet, that combine in several ways to form the structures of your body. For instance, calcium is a mineral that is crucial in the formation and maintenance of your bones. Minerals also help regulate body functions. Minerals do not produce energy.

VITAMINS Vitamins are essential for the regulation of many of the functions of the body. Most vitamins cannot be manufactured by the body and must be obtained from your diet. Vitamins do not produce energy.

II. LIFESTYLE CHANGE A. COST AND BENEFITS In today's fast paced society we often grab whatever is quick and easy for lunch or dinner as we rush to get onto the next "big" thing. Many of us simply do not stop and take the time to think about what we are putting into our bodies and the fact is that if you are not eating a nutritional diet, you may find yourself feeling ill or developing a serious medical condition. By maintaining a well balanced diet, you will be able to keep yourself at your ideal weight, as well as preventing further medical conditions. Following a healthy dietary program will also reduce your risk of certain diseases and illnesses, related to poor nutrition. For example, research has concluded that choosing fast food even just twice a week can increase your risk of developing diabetes. there has been some controversy on whether saturated fats that are commonly used at fast food restaurants, plays a role. Eaten in excess, these will increase your risk of heart disease, as well as high blood pressure. When you begin a healthy diet, you will find that you will not only feel younger, you will end up looking younger. Nutrition plays an important part in the health of the dermis, the innermost layer of the skin. Skin is made up of elastin and collagen and when it does not receive proper doses of vitamin C, you may find that you are more prone to wrinkles and sagging. Vitamin C, as well as vitamins A and E are antioxidants and will help to reduce the damage caused by free radicals. As vitamin C assists in the manufacturing of collagen, you will find that it will help reduce skin damage, therefore, leaving your skin

healthier, as well as, looking more vibrant and fresh. Another benefit to engaging in a lifestyle of proper nutrition is the increased energy and lack of fatigue you will feel. Food is fuel for your body. If you are not currently following a nutritious diet, you may notice that you will go through spells of fatigue throughout the day. Perhaps, one moment you are feeling very energetic and the next moment tired. Feelings of fatigue could be due to an overabundance of sugar in your diet. Sugar is known to harm the body in many ways: including raising your cholesterol level and increasing digestive difficulties, such as indigestion, acid reflux, and problems with bowel movements. If you follow a nutritious diet, you will be limiting your intake of sugar and therefore, limiting your risk of health issues associated with sugar. The fact is, following a proper nutritional program can lead to a healthier lifestyle. When you have more energy, you are much more likely to exercise, making it easier to maintain a healthy weight. You will also reduce the risks of illness and disease that are caused by either a lack of vitamins and minerals or due to an over-abundance of foods that will increase the risk of certain health conditions. When you enlist in a proper nutritional program, you will find yourself not only feeling healthier, but looking healthier, as well.
