nutrition
Good nutrition is about eating a healthy and balanced diet. Food and drink provide the energy and nutrients we need to be healthy. Macronutrients such as carbohydrates (carbs), proteins, and fats, as well as micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals are essential. Although the same basic principles of healthful eating apply throughout our lifespans, nutritional requirements change as we grow and age. For example, good nutrition is critical to health, independence, and quality of life for women at midlife and older, and it is one of the major elements in successful aging. Eating well can also help prevent or manage chronic diseases and even enhance sexuality.
