The body is a marvelous yet intricate vessel-like structure made up of many organic components that work mechanically and chemically, but it depends on energy to function. Nutrition is the primary source from which the body obtains that energy. The body was formed from the soil, which is made up of nutrients. Having a fundamental understanding of the nutrients and how they function can give you a working knowledge and a more meaningful perspective about nutrition. Establishing a balanced diet can improve your overall health both physically and mentally. Without the right diet, the body cant perform at its best. Remember, balance is the key. Nutrition is also the main factor that provides an equilibrium within the bodys physiological environment, which involves important chemical functions, such as nitrogen balance equilibrium, body neutrality, homeostasis, and osmotic pressure.
