Nutrition is important for overall health because the food we eat provides the energy and nutrients our bodies need to grow, stay strong, and function properly. Eating a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein, and healthy fats helps our bodies stay healthy and fight off illness. When we eat the right foods, we feel better, think clearly, and have more energy to do the things we enjoy.
