What is nutrition?

Nutrition is vital to life. It’s where you get all the substances your body needs to grow, develop, and function properly, including:

Protein

Protein is vital for tissue growth and repair. Good sources include meat, pulses, and dairy products.

Carbohydrates

Carbs are fast-access energy sources. Bread, pasta, and baked goods like cookies are all high in carbs.

Fat

Fat is a slow-release energy source. If you consume too much, it builds up, causing you to become overweight. Some fats are unhealthy because they contain high quantities of substances like low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which can narrow arteries. Other fats are essential for numerous functions.

Fiber

Fiber is all the indigestible parts of fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based foods. It ensures your gut functions properly and provides a food source for vital, healthy gut bacteria.

Vitamins and minerals

Vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients are only present in trace amounts but perform many critical functions.

Do I need to worry about nutrition?

Proper nutrition is fundamental for good health. A poor diet adversely affects organ function and increases your risk of multiple health problems, from cancer and heart disease to depression and chronic pain.

You can get everything your body requires if you eat a healthy diet containing enough different foods and many fruits and vegetables. However, people often don’t obtain all the nutrients they need from food and drink.

Others have problems with their digestive system that prevent them from extracting all the nutrients from their diet.

A blood test can determine which nutrients you’re short of. The Repair Recover Restore team offers expert nutrition advice and recommends Metagenics® supplements that support better health.
