Description
Most people believe they eat healthy and make smart eating decisions, but the truth is - you can eat well-balanced meals and still be malnourished. So, what are the factors that contribute to our overall nutrition status? How do we ensure we achieve optimal nutrition and nutrient absorption when there are so many factors that affect our overall nutrition status?
Today, we discuss the wide gamut of nutrition and how the food we eat fuels our cells, providing us with the energy we need to tackle the day. We discuss the connection between your nutrition and the gastrointestinal issues you may experience with poor nutrition and malabsorption. We discuss the role that the microbiome plays in your nutritional health and your body’s ability to absorb nutritional supplements. We discuss the difference between nutritional deficiencies and nutrition inadequacies and why it’s important to make the distinction. We also discuss why we believe most people have room to improve their nutritional status.
