Top Nutrition Flashcards

Nutrition is the interaction of nutrients, and other substances in food, in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism. This includes food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism and excretion. The diet of an organism is what it eats, which is largely determined by the availability, processing and palatability of foods.
 
A healthy diet includes preparation of food and storage methods that preserve nutrients from oxidation, heat or leaching, and that reduce risk of food-borne illnesses.
