Alimentación

“Alimentación” refers to the process of providing or obtaining the food necessary for health and growth. It encompasses all aspects of food, including the types of nutrients consumed, dietary practices, and the overall significance of nutrition in maintaining physical and mental well-being. The term also implies the choices individuals make regarding their diet, the cultural and social factors that influence eating habits, and the relationship between food and health. Proper alimentación involves understanding the balance of macronutrients (proteins, fats, carbohydrates) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) essential for the body’s functions. Additionally, it can extend to topics such as food security, sustainability, and food systems that support healthy eating.
