Nutrition is basically the science of food and the amount of nutrients and calories each food contains. It is indifferent to say what importance food has in the existence of an individual. It is necessary for the very survival not only of human beings, but of all living organisms on the face of the earth.
Nutrients are the substances necessary for the proper functioning of the body. These nutrients consist of protein, vitamins and minerals, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, and water. And each individual requires having foods that contain all of them in the right amount.
Most of the time we tend to ignore or rather refuse to eat vegetables and indulge more in fat-related products, mainly because of the taste. But we have to understand that vegetables and fruits are as much a part of the diet as chicken and cheese.
But why should we let taste get in the way of our health? These are some of the dishes that are a fantastic combination of good taste and healthy eating.
