What is nutrition?

- in a nutshell- what you eat and how well you eat

However, nutrition is not a stand alone!!

-good nutrition and physical activity go together for health!!

Why care about nutrition (and exercise)?-lots of people do not -look at the drive-

through fast food places-we sit down and we chow down-how many calories do we burn while tweeting, texting, emailing, facebooking,

pintresting, instagramming, googling etc. etc.??-population is gaining weight

This affects you!!

How do lousy nutrition (and exercise) patterns affect you?

-your job availability-your benefits while at work-your publically funded healthcare-your pension-your family and loved ones-your patients

-all of above dependent on your health Its all about you and yours!!
