PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN NUTRITION
Definitions of terms: food, health, nutrition, nutrients, nutritional status, nutritional care,
malnutrition, catabolism, anabolism, metabolism, good nutrition and food choices.
Food
What does food means to you? Food-menu -diet-hunger-nutrition-malnutrition. What
images do these words bring to your mind? Are they oriented to your senses? To your
social enjoyment? To your concerns about your own well-being? To your emotions? Do
they raise questions about the quality of life for your fellow human beings? When you sit
down to your next meal you will have definite ideas-positive or negative--about that meal
and the specific foods that are served to you.
By your eyes you will delight in the texture variations and colour combinations of the
food, the artistic touch of a garnish, and the beautiful table arrangements; or perhaps
you may be repelled because the food lacks colour and is carelessly served.
