Why is Nutrition so Important?
Nutrition is present in all processes of life. Right from the very moment the sperm fertilizes the egg, through fetal development in the uterus, to birth, human growth, maturity, old age, and eventual death. Anything that lives is dependent on energy, which results from the combustion of food. Nutrition is required for it all. Anything that involves life has nutrition at its core. Most diseases start from nutritional imbalances, getting your nutrition right is the foundation of good health, wellness and vitality.
