Nutrition is the science that studies the interactions between living organisms and the food they consume, and how food affects health and well-being. It encompasses all the processes by which organisms ingest, digest, absorb, transport, use and excrete nutrients.

Nutrition plays a fundamental role in maintaining health and preventing disease. A balanced and varied diet, rich in essential nutrients, is crucial to overall well-being. Understanding the principles of nutrition and applying healthy eating habits can significantly improve quality of life. For personalized advice, we recommend consulting a nutrition professional.
