Why nutrition is important. Eating a balanced diet is vital for good

health and wellbeing. Food provides our bodies with the energy,

protein, essential fats, vitamins and minerals to live, grow and

function properly. We need a wide variety of different foods to

provide the right amounts of nutrients for good health.

Healthy and balanced nutrition is important for everyone

SCOTT COLLINSONOUR BODIES NEED FOOD

Food is essential for our bodies to:

• develop, replace and repair cells and tissues;

• produce energy to keep warm, move and work;

• carry out chemical processes such as the digestion of food;

• protect against, resist and fight infection and recover from

sickness.

Eating well means eating a variety of foods. No single food

contains all the nutrients that our bodies need, except for

breastmilk for babies up to the age of six months. Eating a variety

of different foods will supply the nutrients that are essential for

our bodies. By taking care to choose foods that are in season and

locally available, eating can be enjoyable, healthy and

affordable.
