I had a date with Ms Ang Merlin on 17th July 2007 at the Neways Training Center and enjoyed every single second of it! In her informative and fascinating presentation, Merlin revealed much useful information that one must know in order to fully grasp health and wellness. Her presentation began by telling us that food to us is like fuel for a car. Indeed, just as fuel gives cars energy to operate, food gives us energy so that we can function. Nutrition is defined as the study of how the food we eat affects our health and life processes. The key to nutrition is none other than BALANCE. You cannot say that eating KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) is not nutritious at all for our bodies. Furthermore, eating just entirely greens would not be the best diet if you need nutrients available only in meats. All foods provide nutrients essential to life and normal function. Merlin also showed to us that the Basis of Nutrition is divided into two sub divisions, Micronutrients and Macronutrients. Minerals and vitamins make up Micronutrients and can be further categorized into water-soluble minerals and vitamins or fat-soluble ones. Macronutrients include Lipids (Fats), Proteins, Carbohydrates and Water. Both Micro- and Macronutrients are vital for one’s Nutrition. Therefore, one not only must consume healthy food which contains Lipids (Fats), Proteins, Carbohydrates and Water, Minerals and vitamins (which come in the forms of health supplements) are also needed to nourish one’s body. Merlin goes on to add that Minerals and vitamins are much more needed now these days because the food we now consume are often processed. These processed varieties do not contain the same amount of nutrients as the food varieties in the past which are natural. Data have been shown that the food nowadays is less healthy than food in the past. Therefore, there is a greater need for us to consume health supplements which cater for the lack of essential nutrients in food. Neways offers a wide variety of health supplements ranging from the basic antioxidants to anti-aging products and these products are put under the range of Health and Wellness products. |
