Can you simply define nutrition?

Simply stated, nutrition is the body's ability to consume the 45-known nutrients in their proper amounts, digest these nutrients, absorb these nutrients, carry these nutrients into the cells, metabolize these nutrients, and eliminate the waste without getting fat.  The following is a list of the 45-known nutrients:

    Carbohydrates
    Lipids (fats)
    Protein
    Water
    9-Amino Acids
    13-Vitamins
    19-Minerals

 

Eating these nutrients (along with their enzymes) in their proper amounts will normally ensure good nutrition.  Enzymes are responsible for digesting, absorbing, transporting, metabolizing, and eliminating the waste of these nutrients. To emphasize again, every organ, every tissue, and all the 100 trillion cells in our body depend upon the reaction of metabolic enzymes and their energy factor.
