Prevent and fight disease with proper nutrients and good health habits
Nutrients
Nutrients are elements in foods that are required for the energy, growth, and repair of tissues and regulation of body processes. Essential nutrients like carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, dietary fibre, and water must be consumed in adequate quantities on a regular basis. The most effective way to take in adequate amounts of nutrients is to eat a balanced diet with variety of foods from different food groups included daily.
While most people know that eating the right foods in the proper amounts is essential for good health, not everyone is giving their body proper nourishment and attention it needs.
Nourishing your body with nutrients directly from food is essential to good health and feeling your best on a foundational level. Sometimes, in order to treat certain health concerns, other natural substances may need to be given at therapeutic doses that are too high to obtain from food alone. If that is the case, specific supplements may be needed in order to make sure that key nutrient levels are back on track. A doctor, dietitian or other health care professional can assess the diet and make relevant recommendations.
