Nutrition and Healthy Living : Conceptual Framework

Conceptual Framework

In looking at nutrition, this conceptual framework is a useful starting point as it reminds us that there are many factors which influence nutrition – not just food. In order to maintain and improve nutrition there are many issues to take into account which can be seen at a number of different levels and include :

• the food intake itself
• preventing and treating infection
• appropriate care, including stimulation and active feeding of children
• access to food and household food security
• access to basic services such as health services, water and sanitation
• all of these being influenced by basic determinants such as resources and how these are used.

All of these will impact on the eventual nutritional health of the individual. This framework thus strongly suggests that a holistic approach is much more appropriate and effective in dealing with nutrition than the mere provision of food. One thing even in a holistic approach remains the same, that every single person's priority in the world is the same - YOU HAVE TO EAT IN ORDER TO LIVE.

• You are what you eat.
• Correct food, "e"-pap, LIFE FORCE Nutroceutical is a first step towards HEALTHY LIVING
• Daily intake of basic required vitamins and minerals is paramount to your general health.
