Nutrition
Nutrition involves the recognition and realization of nutrients and how they are utilized in the body for proper homeostasis and normal bodily functions on a daily basis. Nutrition affects bodily functions as they relate to decision making processes, functional ability, cognitive processes, our social abilities to interact, form, and maintain relationships as well as cultural beliefs that guide our daily decision making. Without proper nutritional intake muscles will not function to support daily activities, the brain and neurological system will not have the required nutrients to function in decision making and provide proper neurological functioning mechanisms needed for normal activity. Our emotions are guided by balanced or homeostatic nutritional balance that maintains proper functioning of hormone levels such as insulin.
