Nutrition is something that focuses on how diseases, problems, or conditions can be prevented with a healthy diet. Similarly, it identifies how certain conditions, or diseases caused by food allergies, food intolerance and poor diet (malnutrition).
There are three types of nutrients i.e. a) Micronutrients, b) Macronutrients or c) Vitamins.
