'''Nutrition''' is the study that deals with food (nutrients) and nourishment.
There are several nutrients that the human body needs to acquire: protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals and water.
Nutrient-dense foods are those that provide substantial amounts of vitamins and minerals and relatively fewer calories.
