How does nutrition help us? What we eat is what we are.
Foods and liquids enter our bodies and travel through
the digestive system. Nutrients are delivered to our
cells through the circulatory system. Our cells need
healthy nutrients!
The major factors that determine health are genes,
nutrition, physical activity, attitude, our immune
system, and exposure to mutation agents.
