Common sense should not be taken for granted when people are discussing nutrition. The mainstream media is one of the reasons behind many circulating nutrition myths and confusions. Nutrition is the biochemical and physiological process by which an organism uses food to support its life. It includes ingestion, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism and excretion.
Some people believe that having smaller, more frequent meals may help them lose weight. However, some studies suggest that meal size and frequency have no effect on fat burning or body weight. The food or liquids affect our body and health because each food or liquid contains particular nutrition which is very necessary for our physical and mental growth.
