Navigating the Delicious World of Nutrition: Basics and Choices for YOU

The first step to forming good nutritional habits is knowing your own personal attributes such as age, activity level, and medical conditions. For example, the average adult requires complex carbohydrates for long-term energy and muscle repair. Conversely, the average child nearly always requires a balanced diet of protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Our grandparents, on the other hand, should focus on consuming a nutrient-dense diet to maintain healthy bones. In addition to these generalizations, active people often require more protein and carbs, while less active people require meals high in fiber. However, much of this might change for you if you have a health condition such as diabetes or heart disease, for example (there are many other possible health conditions that could influence your nutrition).
