Nutrition
There are many reasons to choose natural products over processed foods. Natural products are often more nutritious because they retain all the vitamins and minerals found in their natural state. They may also be easier to digest, as the body is able to break down natural products more easily than processed foods. In addition, natural products often contain antioxidants and other nutrients that can improve overall health. Finally, natural products are generally considered more environmentally friendly than processed foods, as their production requires less energy and fewer resources.
Nutrients: The Role of Dietitians and Nutritionists
Nutritionists use concepts from molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics to understand how nutrients affect the human body. Nutrition also focuses on what people can do through their dietary choices, both to reduce their risk of disease and to address problems they may encounter if they consume too much or too little of certain foods, due to an imbalance in the needs met by food groups such as protein sources—including meat products—and carbohydrates containing whole grains like rice and potatoes, etc.
