Howdy! So glad you could join us again today! Are you one of those people who can't remember what they had for their last meal? Well, for many of us, maybe it's better that way, because some of the things we put into our bodies these days are not fit to be called food.
Today we introduce a way to talk about what all food should be...
- Nutrition is the process by which the body takes in and uses the substances in food. The phrase "good nutrition" means eating foods that promote good health. Nutrition is also the study of this process, especially the relationship between the food we eat and our health.
Food that is nutritious contains many substances that help the body function properly and grow. - nutrition は、体内に食物を取り入れ、食物中の物質を使うこと、つまり栄養の摂取という意味です。good nutrition は、健康増進に役立つものを食べることです。nutrition には、栄養の摂取について研究する学問（特に食物と健康の関係について）、つまり、栄養学という意味もあります。
nutritious は、体の機能を正常にしたり、成長を助けたりする物質がたくさん含まれているという意味です。
- Good nutrition can sometimes be more effective in curing disease than drugs.
- School lunches should be planned with nutrition in mind.
- Broccoli is a highly nutritious vegetable.
- Organic foods are not only more nutritious, but they often taste better too.
- Every college student on a limited budget should learn how to prepare cheap, nutritious meals.
Eat well. Eat smart!
