Nutrition

Nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining health and preventing disease. What we eat directly affects our energy levels, physical health, and mental well-being. With so much conflicting information available today, it's important to understand the basics of nutrition and how to make informed dietary choices. In this session, we'll explore different aspects of nutrition, including food groups, balanced diets, and the impact of nutrients on the body.
