We can easily say that nutrition is directly correlated to the amount of nutrients in food. There are approximately 50 nutrients in food which are vital to our health. These include calories that provide carbohydrates (as, for example, sugar is) and also give us the energy for physical and intellectual activity. Proteins provide a certain equilibrium for our immunity system against diseases and sicknesses and also repair sick cells in the entire body. Fats are also a source of energy and help create hormones and other substances that help stabilize our metabolic rate.
All of these nutrients must be in synch in order for all to be nutritious.
The industrialization of the food preparation process is one the main reasons that we do not have proper nutrition in our society. If what we like indicates to us what we think our body actually needs, we could very well be dead wrong. Marketing plays an important role with our five senses and subsequently (dishonestly) fools them and compels the consumer to buy terrible food products. GULA, which is more commonly known as the frenetic desire to consume one type of food, almost always winds up being foods loaded in calories and lacking in nutrients.
Just as addiction to tobacco or alcohol traps us in an endless destructive circle, fast food also can be addictive. The smell, taste, and even the presentation and the packaging are designed to make our subconscious minds obsess about these products.
