Nurse overview

Nutrition is more than just the food we eat.  It is a science that encompasses all the interactions that occur between living organisms and food. These interactions include the physiological processes by which an organism,

• Ingests

• Digests

• Absorbs

• Transports and utilize food.

Nutrition includes the biological actions and interactions of food with the body and their consequences for health and disease. It also includes the psychological, social, cultural, economic, and technological factors that influence which foods we eat. The biological importance of food is dictated by the nutrients it contains.

Other aspects of food such as taste, color, smell, texture, presentation and packaging help determine its psychological, cultural, social and personal value.
