Would you fill your car's petrol tank with water? Well, you could - though I don't recommend it- you won't be going anywhere.
That's the way it is with the food you eat and nutrition. Nutrition is one word that is quickly turning into a buzzword, however also very misunderstood with a lot of definitions and scientific jargon.
By now you know I like to keep things simple so my definition is:
'Taking in the right nutrients in right quantities your entire body needs to have sufficient energy to work at its best.'
Why is the right nutrition so important?
1) Optimal Energy to Perform - The human body is the best engineered piece of machinery in the universe. Different systems have to work in sync every second to keep it running. However what happens to machinery that does not get the right fuel or energy source? It starts to break down, wear and tear comes in quicker. Give it the right fuel or energy source and you have a well equipped piece of machinery, running at its best and producing the needed results.
2) Keeps you healthy - Nutrition plays a huge role in warding off lifestyle related diseases. It keeps your systems healthy and has the immune system running at maximum.
3) Fat Loss - Fat Loss is hugely related to nutrition. Yes exercise is important but nothing spectacular is going to happen if your nutrition is not right. You cant start to lose fat unless you are eating the right stuff at the right times.
There are definitely more reasons. According to me these three are the most wanted and vital ones. In the next few posts we will be working with a further understanding of what nutrients are needed and what they do.
