How is Nutrition Important?

OCTOBER 14, 2018

Physical Education curriculum does not only cover lifelong skills related to movement. As we have learned in my class, nutrition has a big influence in our daily lives. Well-balanced, healthy meals are what provide energy to complete our daily activities, and it is also a predictor for our overall health. We have discussed macro- and micronutrients during our time in class: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, and minerals. I would like for each of you to participate in this blog by replying with an example of a good nutritional meal and the importance of one macronutrient or micronutrient. Please provide an example of a micronutrient or macronutrient as well.
