Nutrient management

Nutrient management is all about making sure we are able to supply enough nutrients (vitamins, minerals, proteins and other things needed to stay healthy) to our bodies. It's like our very own 'fuel station' in our bodies! We need to make sure we get the right kind and right amount, so that our cells can produce energy and grow properly. Eating a balanced diet is the best way to make sure we are getting the right nutrients - this means eating a variety of healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and grains. Other ways to get the nutrients we need include taking supplements or vitamins.
