Nutrition

            It is not the horse that draws the cart, but the oats.

            Eating suitable, well balanced diet and paying some attention to the latest developments in nutritional supplementation are the keys to good health and nutritional soundness, whatever your activities.

            Nutritional balance is the foundation of healthy diet.

            The six essential components of the human diet are proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. These nutrients contain chemical substances that function in one or more of three ways.

·          They furnish the body with heat and energy.

·          They provide material for growth and repair of body tissues.

·          They help regulate body processes.

No nutrient acts independently of the others. They must all be present for your body to function well. Everyone needs nutrients, but how much each person requires for good health depends upon physical condition, age, sex, size, and amount of physical activity.
