Nutrition is Important to You!
Food Choices affect every part of the body from head to toe and are vital to the function and health of the body’s systems. Body systems are digestive, cardiovascular, nervous, skeletal, reproductive, respiratory systems and our skin. Your body must have a variety of nutrients and eating foods from each of the major food groups provides the nutrients to maintain and fuel the function and health of our body’s systems.
Our heart and lungs are working constantly even when we sleep. The body each day repairs tissues and changes food into energy. Food choices affect our current and future health. People can reduce their risk for heart disease and diabetes by choosing foods that promote good health.
Health experts recommend a diet with lean meats, low-fat dairy products, and fewer added fats to keep dietary fat and cholesterol in check to maintain a healthy range. Results of a fiber-rich diet that include whole grains, fruits and vegetables are proven to reduce risk of heart disease and diabetes.
