Nutrition

Nutrition encompass the provision of essential nutrients in food that are necessary to support human life and good health. Poor nutrition is a chronic problem often linked to poverty, food insecurity, or a poor understanding of nutritional requirements. Good nutrition is necessary for normal human biological development and overall wellness.

The resources on the right are arranged by type: eBooks, journal articles, videos, and websites. They all relate to nutrition in some way, though individual resources may cover other aspects of self-care.
