Is there a connection between what you eat and maintaining good health? Explain your answer.?

Answer 1

YES!
Your body is like a machine. If you don't give your body the fuel that it needs, it will break down faster. Imagine forgetting to put oil in your car,....

Anyway, you need vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, amino acids (protein), carbohydrates, water and fibre. These all come from eating grains, fruit, veggies, meat or meat substitutes, and VERY small amounts of fats and sugar.

Answer 2

If you eat taodstool mushroms, you die. Eat any poisonous plant and you die. The body uses foods to rebuld itself. Shortages in nutrients causes problems. See site below for more on this with quotes from different groups like the FDA.
