Malnutrition is a problem that makes us vulnerable to
diseases and premature deaths. Proper nutrition is
important because it affects us in so many ways. It
provides energy for us to grown, develop, work, play and
resist infections. Our nutrition and health affects our
social lives and is our fundamental right as humans.

Nutrition is the process of getting the right kinds of foods
in your body for proper growth and development. It's been
shown that stress from work had led to neglecting the basic
requirements for health in developed countries, while
poverty is number one cause for malnutrition in developing
countries. Our hectic lives do not allow us to take the
time and think about what we should eat. This poses a
serious risk to our health. In order to lead a healthy
life, we much correct our eating habits now.

A balance diet with a mixture of nutrients is essential for
our bodies. Nutrients are the substance found in foods
that provide nourishment for the body. Proper nutrition
gives our body the necessary energy to carry out our daily
activities without taxing our bodies mentally or
physically. A balanced diet enables us to have a shapely
body with the appropriate amount of body fat and muscle.
Nutritional disorders occur when we don't ingest the
correct amount of nutrients.

Nutrients are divided into two groups: macronutrients and
micronutrients. The first groups include proteins, fats,
some minerals, water and carbohydrates and they are needed
on a daily basis and in large quantities. Micronutrients are
also required daily but in small quantities. They consist of
vitamins and some minerals that allow the body to use
macronutrients. There are some guidelines for a healthy diet
but it is important to know that nutritional requirements
depend on many factors such as age, weight, sex, height and
physical activities.

One of the first steps to eating healthy is to choose foods
that contain a low percentage of saturated fat. This will
help the body to decrease the level of blood cholesterol. It
is difficult to eliminate the intake of saturated fat at
once, but it can be done gradually. Another action is to
incorporate fruits and vegetables to your diet because they
have a high fiber level.

Basically, you need to take a lot of bread, cereal, rice,
and pasta and supplement it with vegetables and fruits in
sufficient quantities. You can further add products like
cheese, milk, yoghurt, meat, poultry, beans, beans, eggs and
nuts but in smaller quantities. Finally, bring your intake
of fats, oils and sweets to the minimum. If you follow the
basics of a nutritional balanced diet you can live a happy
and healthy life.
