Nourishment

Nourishment is a vital concept that encompasses more than just food intake; it involves an individual’s overall well-being and health. It combines the physical, emotional, and sometimes spiritual aspects of what sustains us.

At its core, physical nourishment refers to the nutrients necessary for our bodies to function properly. These include:

• Macronutrients: Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, which provide energy and support body functions.
• Micronutrients: Vitamins and minerals essential for processes like metabolism, immunity, and bone health.
• Hydration: Water, which is crucial for nearly every bodily function, from digestion to temperature regulation.

A balanced diet is key to providing these nutrients, taking into account individual needs based on age, gender, activity level, and health status.
