“I want to know what nutrition means?”

Dear Dr. Lynne Kavulich,

Nowadays, everybody’s talking about how important proper nutrition is. I want to know what nutrition means.

Dear Joan,

As defined by Webster’s Dictionary, nutrition is, “the act or process of nourishing or being nourished.” Proper nutrition is the act of eating the foods that are good for your body and will keep it strong and running at its best.

Sincerely,

Dr. Lynne Kavulich
