Nutritious foods help maintain a healthy body and protect against various illnesses, disorders and chronic diseases (USDA, 2011), such as heart disease, stroke, dementia, type 2 diabetes, bone loss, cancer, and anemia (NIH, 2008). Diet and nutrition can also help reduce high blood pressure, lower cholesterol, handle arthritis, maintain healthy skin, hair and nails, and manage diabetes (NIH, 2008).
