A diet with variety and balance of macronutrients

A diet with variety and balance of macronutrients (proteins, carbs, fats) along with sufficient micronutrients (vitamins, minerals) is ideal for supplying the raw materials needed for cells, tissues, organs and systems to work effectively. Proper nutrition also provides energy for daily activity.

Without adequate nutrition, we experience negative symptoms like fatigue, sluggishness, and loss of strength. Poor nutrition increases vulnerability to sickness, impaired brain function, and development issues in children. It can even shorten lifespans. Clearly nutrition plays a central role in our health.
