Why is Nutrition Important?

Nutrition is the most important foundation of health. The foods we eat provide the building blocks of our cells, tissues, enzymes, everything! If the body is not receiving or absorbing the essential nutrients it needs, it will not function optimally and will predispose the individual to dis-ease states.
"Eat Food. Not too much.
​Mostly plants." 
-Michael Pollan
