Diet & Nutrition: Diet refers to the food and drink a person consumes daily and the mental and physical circumstances connected to eating. 

Nutrition involves more than simply eating a “good” diet—it is about nourishment on every level. It involves relationships with family, friends, nature (the environment), our bodies, our community, and the world.
