Why is nutrition important and how can seeing a nutritionist be valuable for you?
Nutrition is the study of nutrients in food, how the body uses nutrients and the relationship between food, disease and health. The body requires nutrients from food to function optimally. Nutrition is vital, not just with growth and development of humans but also in the prevention and treatment of disease.
