Importance of Nutrition

Without proper nutrition human body obviously doesn’t function properly. Its very important to have a complete meal from all the food groups such as protein; it helps build, maintain and recover your muscles.  Meats, fish, beans, nuts, and seeds, milk, cheese etc. are excellent examples. Next   carbohydrates give you energy. Carbohydrates come from grains, cereals, vegetables, and fruits. They are a "time release" energy source and are a good source of fiber and nutrients. Simple carbohydrates or sugars give you quick energy. You can get sugars in fresh or dried fruit, honey, jam, or syrups.  Lastly Fat gives you extra energy. You need some - but not too much. The "monounsaturated" fats in nuts, seeds, canola and olive oils, and fish are considered "good" fats. The "saturated" fats in butter and animal products are "bad" fats. With proper nutrition you can take your body to the next level and live your life to the fullest.
