Nutrition is the study of how the body uses food. It is important but often neglected. A balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish and chicken can provide all necessary nutrients and help prevent obesity. Nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and water, which the body needs to function properly. Maintaining good nutrition and food safety practices such as hand washing are essential for health.
