DIET AND NUTRITION

Over recent years diet has become something that, as a society, we focus on for largely cosmetic reasons, when in fact a healthy diet will help prevent certain diseases and health problems.  A good diet is essential for proper body growth, repair, maintenance and function.  Heart disease, high blood pressure, dental problems, diabetes and cancer are all linked to poor diet, and today's lifestyle does not make it easy for us to stick to Healthy Eating.
