HEALTH PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH
NUTRITION
Many health conditions are
affected by the foods you eat. Foods
directly provide your body with vitamins,
minerals and other nutrients that can help it
function at its best. Certain nutrients, or
large amounts of some foods, can be harmful to
your body functions and your overall health.
Heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and
obesity are conditions that are associated with
nutrition. What you include in your diet can
worsen or improve these conditions depending on
the foods you choose.
