Benefits of Nutrition - Reading Comprehension

You choose to eat meal about 1000 times a year. Eating is a voluntary activity, but you probably don’t give it a second thought. You will choose what to eat, when to eat and how much to eat, about 65000 times in your lifespan (if you live to be 65). You will consume about 50 tons of food. Each day’s intake of nutrients may affect your body slightly, but over a period of years, the effects of those intakes will build up. This is why it’s important for you to learn how to make wise food choices. 

Good nutrition helps make people’s bodies strong, fit, and healthy – in short, beautiful. Bodies are beautiful in many different ways. Some people are tall, some are short, some have dark skin, some are fair, some have curly hair and some have straight hair. Whatever your body is like, one thing is true; to be its most beautiful, it must be well nourished. Adequate intakes of all the ingredients underlie the health of your complexion, the straightness of your bones, the shape and strength of your muscles and the gleam in your eye.

Your body is growing and renewing its parts all the time. Each day it adds a little to its tissues as you gain height and strength. It also replaces some old muscles, bones and skin and blood with new tissues. In this way some of the food you eat today becomes part of ‘you’ tomorrow. The best food for you, then, is the kind that supports normal growth and maintains strong muscles, sound bones, healthy skin, and enough blood to cleanse and nourish all the parts of your body.

The best food also reduces your risks of developing illnesses later in life. Your food choices weave together with other lifestyle. The choices you make either raise or lower your chances of becoming ill.

To manage the nutrition in your own interest, you have to learn what foods to eat, since all foods are not equally nutritious. For instance, a teen who has trouble eating enough food to grow at the expected rate should not cut fat from the diet, because energy from fat can promote growth. Some people do not obtain enough nutrients from their food. They may develop nutrient deficiencies or other forms of malnutrition. A person, who does not receive proper nutrition during the teen years, may never reach full height, because all of the nutrients are needed for growth. After the person reaches adulthood, growth stops, even if the diet is then excellent. 


Another threat to people’s health is over-nutrition. Many people are overweight, or have daily intakes of salt, fat, cholesterol and alcohol that may be too high for their hearts to remain healthy. Others eat too few vegetables and too much meat, choices linked to many diseases. Even vitamins and minerals can be poisonous if too many are taken in concentrated form. The key to good nutrition, then, is to eat foods that provide enough, but not too much energy and nutrients.
