Answer to Question 1

Nutrition and nutrients impact many areas of life including
immunology, physiology, and psychology and therefore can
influence all aspects of human well-being.
 Phytonutrients and zoonutrients are compounds that
provide health benefits and promote health and well
being.
 Dietary fiber can reduce risk of heart disease and type 2
diabetes. Proteins support immune function. Lipids are
vital to every cell in the body.
 Some vitamins are antioxidants that help protect cells
from damage.
 Obesity is a major risk factor for many chronic diseases.
Good nutritional habits can help prevent obesity and can
therefore reduce the risk of chronic disease.
