nutrition

Most of the people I have interviewed feel that nutrition is the act of process of being nourished. A nutritious life consists of eating right and exercising daily not eating a certain way for a short amount of time and then going back to your normal habits because if you do that you are not living a healthy life. What makes a nutritious meal consists of a healthy diet eating more vegetables and less meats no sugary food or soda’s the reason for eating less meats and sugary foods are because eating meats is fattening and it takes more time for your body to digest food then vegetables and when you eat a lot of vegetables you have a longer chance of living because it’s healthy. My example: of a nutritious meal would be a piece of baked chicken, green beans and a piece of cornbread and a glass of water or milk. Yes there is more to a nutritious life than just eating right and exercising you also have to live a healthy daily life for ex: not smoking or drinking everyday maybe occasionally but not everyday because that can lead to many problems down the line. I think some important vitamins that the body needs is vitamin c and d. And also calcium. A mineral that the body needs is water.
