| WHY NUTRITION MATTERS |
 Nutrition is the science of how the body uses food. Nutrition determines how we feel on the inside and how we look on the outside.
All living things need food and water to live. In addition, we need food with the proper nutrients to live well.
Understanding nutrition calls for an understanding of the language and concepts of nutrition. Knowing some chemistry is useful too. It's also helpful to understand the cultural and personal differences that explain how you choose your favorite foods.
