What is the connection between nutrition and disease?

The connection between nutrition and disease depends on the nutrients that we consume on a daily basis.  The only way that our bodies can properly function is to supply it with water and the nutrients from the food that eat. There are a window when the body starts to shut down with the lack of nutrients it needs to perform. The body can go at least three weeks without food and less than 10 days without water. As the body continue to go without food, you will be experience a pretty vulnerable body.   Chronic diseases, including cardiovascular, diabetes, cancer, obesity, and malnutrition has been related to the insufficient intake of vitamins and minerals that you receives from the food we eat. Although, having too much and too little both can lead to the cause of death. Nothing will never prevent death when it is your time to go. Treating the body in the goodness of will can help prevent  high risk factors of diseases. “According to WHO (2013a), most CVD can be prevented by addressing risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet and obesity, physical inactivity, raised blood pressure, diabetes and raised lipids’.” Walker, Jaqui: (2013)
