Nutrition

Welcome to the Wellness for Everyone Nutrition page. This part of the website deals with what we intake into the body. Yes, it is a simple as that! If you are looking for exercise routines or fitness articles, please go to our Fitness section to cover your needs there. But if you are concerned about nutrition and the food industry, what we are eating in out food, how to loose weight, vitamins, minerals, herbs, organics, healthy recipes, cooking tips, and more, then you are in the right place!…….continued below

So what is Nutrition? Dr. Frederick Hatfield PhD defines Nutrition as the programmatic use of nutrients. Ok, so what are Nutrients? Nutrients are defined as food and the specific elements and compounds that can be used by the body to build and maintain itself and to produce energy. Most of the time we use this word to refer to the macronutrients of protein, carbohydrates, fats, and water and the micronutrients of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. All these items are what our food consist of.

The United States is leading the world in obesity rates among young people and adults. Everyone has been on or will be on some sort of a diet in their lifetime. Americans seem to have a struggle with weight that other people in other cultures do not have to deal with. So what is the answer to the obesity problems we as a country are faced with? We hope to be able to help you understand all the parameters involved with this answer as we look at the many sources of nutrition and nutrients in this Nutrition section of this website. Is there one answer? No, but there is lots of real information out there for you to evaluate and use in your lives to help you make educated decisions on what or what not too put into your body. Our staff has put together articles and other information that is directed at helping you, not the back pockets of the mass food producing companies.

With the onset of the huge fast food companies and super growers of food, our food is not containing all the essential nutrition our bodies need. We are exposed to genetically altered fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meat on a daily basis. We have diseases that were never seen or heard of 100 years ago, but now are common household terms. We here at Wellness For Everyone believes that the mass production of food and the mass handling of food is the cause for most of the diseases we are having to deal with in our society today. We believe that we have to be alert and conscience of what we are bringing into our bodies each day if we are to have any control over outside influences of our health.

We want you to look at nutrition a little different than most look at nutrition today. We look at nutrition as a way feeling great and living life to the fullest in the ways we want to live. Most people look at nutrition as an answer for the appetite they have. How many people look at food with the question of what is this food going to do for me? Our hope here is that you are looking for knowledge of what to do to loose weight, feel better, and provide your body with plenty of nutrition for energy to carry out your daily mission. We will talk about vitamins, minerals, the all-important H2O, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. We will talk about organic food and what “organic” really is. Do you know what foods the federal government allows to be called “organic”? Most do not know. We will share that information with you.

So please relax and stay awhile and look into the many articles and information on nutrition and we hope you will let your friends know about the good and informative information you have found here at www.wellness4everyone.com!
