DIET & NUTRITION

A balanced diet comprising of healthy and diverse foods is key to promoting good health.

Research continues to prove that eating healthy food promotes good health and unhealthy food habits lead to a diseased body. However, a lack of consumption of these nutrients or feeding upon the wrong kinds of food leads to an accumulation of toxins within the body, resulting in chronic diseases in the long run.

		There is focus on specific food components including dietary complex carbohydrates and proteins, the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils, vitamins, antioxidants and prebiotics (substances in food that stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria – generally carbohydrates).

Nutrition is an important quality attribute for consumers who are increasingly interested in health promotion.
