What is the importance of nutrition for wellness?
Nutrition is a critical part of health and development. Better nutrition is related to improved infant, child and maternal health, stronger immune systems, safer pregnancy and childbirth, lower risk of non-communicable diseases (such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease), and longevity.
How to plan a healthy meal?
Choose a wide range of vegetables and fruits. Fill a quarter of your plate with a healthy protein. That could include beans, soy, seafood, and chicken or turkey without the skin. Or choose lean cuts of beef or pork and dairy, including yogurt, milk or cottage cheese
How Do Doctors Test for Food Allergies?
Doctors often use a combination of skin testing and blood testing to test for a food allergy. During skin prick testing, an allergy doctor (allergist) or nurse puts a tiny bit of a liquid containing an allergen into the skin by making a small scratch or prick on the skin.
