What Is Nutrition?
We will start out as simply as possible. The shortest definition of nutrition
is the science pertaining to the factors involved in nourishing our body.
Nutrition hinges upon the special relationship that exists between our
body and the world we live in. From the moment of conception to the
waning hours of advanced age, we live in a continuum to nourish our
body. More specifically, we strive on a daily basis to bring nourishing
substances into our body. These nourishing substances are called nutri-
ents, which are chemicals that are used by our body for energy or other
human processes. Proper nourishment supports body businesses such as
growth, movement, immunity, injury recovery, and disease prevention,
and, of course, the ultimate business at hand for all life-forms,
reproduction.
