Nutrition
A healthy diet should contain the right balance of nutrients necessary to provide and utilize energy and to enable growth and repair to sustain life itself.
Nutrition is broken down into six main food groups, these are macro and micro nutrients, which we need in amounts dependant upon are age, size, sex and outgoing calorie expenditure.
The macro nutrients are Carbohydrates (CHO) - Protein - Fat.
The micro nutrients are Vitamins and Minerals, which are required in far smaller amounts, however are the most often neglected but necessary elements of a healthy body.
The final food group is actually (H2O) water, essential to sustain life and required to maintain optimum performance - this vital element is what most standard diets use for you to achieve weight loss - big mistake!
