Poor nutrition

The fundamental block for good mental and physical health is proper nutrition. Nutrients are the ingredients in the food that help in the growth and repair of the body tissue. These also help to build new muscle tissue. To meet the daily nutritional requirement by the body, many foods are combined. Eating a balanced diet is very important. It is a part of maintaining good health for everyone (from child to elderly). The way you feel and the activity of the body can be affected by the kind and amount of food you eat. Proper nutrition is the key to a heart-healthy life. Therefore, poor nutrition is the starring obstacle to good health, which can only be surmounted by the smart and prudent use of nutritional supplements, fruits, and vegetables.
