Nutrition is important for everyone. When combined with being physically active, eating well is an excellent way to help your body stay strong and healthy. Healthy eating means choosing a variety of foods that give you the nutrients you need to maintain your health, feel good, and have energy. These nutrients include protein, carbohydrates, fat, water, vitamins, and minerals.
