Nutrition science helps us understand how food affects our bodies. It studies the nutrients in food, like vitamins, minerals, proteins, and carbohydrates. For example, fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins that keep our immune system strong. When we eat a balanced diet with different foods, our bodies get the energy they need to play, learn, and grow. This science shows us how to make healthy choices every day!
