1. Why Nutrition Is Important
Nutrition directly influences energy, performance, and longevity.
It is fuel, building material, and regulator all at once – for muscles, organs, immune system, and brain.
A consciously designed diet is one of the strongest levers for health and a long life.
2. Basics & Explanation
- Macronutrients:
- Carbohydrates → Energy supply
- Fats → Hormone production, cell structures, energy reserve
- Proteins → Building material for muscles, enzymes, immune system
- Micronutrients:
- Vitamins & minerals → essential helpers for metabolism and immune defenses
- Important Principles:
- Balance: All nutrients in the right ratio
- Quality: Prefer unprocessed foods
- Individuality: Age, activity, and goals determine the optimal diet
