Nutrition

Nutrition is about the study of food and how our bodies use food as fuel for growth and daily activities. The macronutrients, or “big” nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. The micronutrients, or “little” nutrients are the vitamins and minerals that we need to be healthy.

Good nutrition means your body gets all the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals it needs to work its best.

Nutrition plays a vital role:

Most people know good nutrition and physical activity can help maintain a healthy body weight. But the benefits of good nutrition go beyond weight. Good nutrition can help:

  • Reduce the risk of diseases i.e. heart disease, diabetes, stroke, some cancers, and osteoporosis
  • Reduce high blood pressure
  • Lower high cholesterol
  • Improve your well-being
  • Improve your ability to fight off illness: strong immune system
  • Improve your ability to recover from illness or injury
  • Increase your energy levels

 

Along with a healthy lifestyle and good food choices the body can really benefit from a range of herbs and spices like in Ayurveda – “The Science of life” which is an Indian system of natural medicine and healing that is suitable for everyone.
