Nutrition is the process of consuming, absorbing, and using nutrients by the body for growth,
development, and maintenance of life. It is directly related to a person’s wellness in a significant way. For

our wellness. As they say, food can be a source of energy, nutrients, but in some cases, it can be a waste. In
short, nutrition is directly related to wellness because what you eat/consume in your body can cause your
wellness to either improve or fluctuate.

health problems. Thusly, in this technological world we live in, stress management is the key to survival and sanity
as well.
