What is Nutrition?

Nutrition is a very broad term. It means nourishing your body with materials to promote life. Many ailments and diseases can be prevented by eating healthy. This is all what nutrition means.

Many people come up with different meaning for nutrition or relate nutrition with different other terms. I have had friends tell me stories of people who get scared when you say you eat nutritiously. People think about eating less appetizing food, eating only leafy vegetables etc when the word nutrition comes up.

This is not true folks!!! Nutritious eating does not have to be bland or lack texture. We can cook more than thousand tasty recipes which are healthy and do not harm the body. You don't have to starve when eating healthy (Actually starving does not help maintain a healthy body. It makes it worse).

Eating nutritiously involves eating a balanced meal that will provide all the necessary nutrition to your body so that it would function properly for a long, healthy and happy life.

In the coming days I would like to tell you about the different myths and also provide you information about nutrition, teach you all the scientific terms and help you transform yourself into a vegetarian nutritective.

So lets start to learn together!!!!

Hello world! An Insight into my Blog…

 Hello Everyone!!!

Lets start the first blog with a question. Is anyone familiar with the word “Nutritection” ?

I know you might be thinking “I have heard of Nutrition and Detection but whats this “Nutritection”".
Yes!!! You are almost there. This blog is going to help you be a detective who solves mystery with food. It will help you with detecting(finding) nutrition about food thats hidden.

There are lots of blogs and websites out there which tells you the basics i.e. which food is healthy, what to eat and not to eat, how to choose healthy foods etc. But this experience is going to be a rather different one!
This blog is going to be a real nutrition detective. As I said earlier, we know the basic nutrition about many foods, for e.g. They say an apple a day keeps a doctor away! We also know its not very rich in vitamins and minerals…. So why do they say that… because Apples are loaded with compounds called antioxidants which help in reducing heart disease and cancer. Whoa!!! Thats good information isn’t it….. Yes!!! This blog, in a similar fashion, would help you detect the hidden nutrition about various foods.

Let me now explain how this blog is going to function.
I want to give everyone the best information I can about all the foods. So I decided that I would post a blog on a weekly basis about one food item. The post will have basic nutrition info about the food, the hidden nutrition fact about it, how does it help in reducing various disorders like diabetes, heart diseases and also I would include easy recipes on that food.

And above all.... I am going to tell you about homemade recipes that are cost effective so that it would also keep you financially safe and happy. Doesn't all this sound like a good deal and that too for free......

I know you are really thrilled about this blog!!! I am so thankful and feel obliged for your patience.

So are You all ready to be the Nutrition Detectives??? I know that all of you would say a big Yes!!! So lets go and solve the mystery of foods.
