“Nutrition-focuses on how diseases, conditions and problems can
be prevented or lessened with a healthy diet.
In addition, nutrition involves identifying how certain diseases,
conditions or problems may be caused by dietary factors, such as
poor diet (malnutrition), food allergies, metabolic diseases, etc.”
Hippocrates (Greece, 460BC -
370BC), one nutrient theory
*http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/160774.php
Nutrition
“The process of taking in food and
using it for growth, metabolism, and
repair. Nutritional stages are
ingestion, digestion, absorption,
transport, assimilation, and
excretion.” Medical Webster
2011 Harvard Recommendations
“Complete nutrition requires ingestion and
absorption of vitamins, minerals, and food energy
in the form of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
Dietary habits and choices play a significant role
in the quality of life, health and longevity. It can
define cultures and play a role in religion.” askoxford.com
