Question By: Nutrition is the supply of food that we need as an organism to feed our cells and keep them alive. We can get nutrients from products such as vitamin supplements, however when we talk about nutrition we mostly mean the nutrients we get from food.
Importance of Nutrition
The secret to why nutrition is essential for people is in the word itself – nutrition comes from nutrients. Nutrients are the good things that we get through food which we need to nourish and nurture ourselves, and to be happy and healthy people.
Types of Nutrients
There are more than 40 different kinds of nutrients in food and they can generally be classified into the following 7 major groups:
- Carbohydrates
- Proteins
- Fats
- Vitamins
- Minerals
- Dietary fibre
- Water

Eat a regular, balanced and nutritious diet
People need to consume around 2000 calories a day, usually across 3 to 6 meals. Eating a healthy diet means not going over that amount too often, trying not to skip meals, because we tend to overcompensate for it later, and to get our daily calorie allowance from the right foods.
Look into supplements to help
For many people, adding a daily supplement to help their nutrient intake along is an excellent idea. If you aren’t able to get nutrients from their most natural source then supplements are a great and easy option.
