==Definitions==
*1 : the [[act]] or [[process]] of nourishing or being nourished; specifically : the sum of the processes by which an [[animal]] or plant takes in and utilizes food substances
*2 : nourishment
==Description==
'''Nutrition''' (also called nourishment or aliment) is the provision, to [[cells]] and [[organisms]], of the [[materials]] [[necessary]] (in the form of food) to [[support]] life. Many common [[health]] problems can be prevented or alleviated with a [[health]]y diet.
The diet of an organism is what it eats, and is largely determined by the perceived palatability of foods. Dietitians are health [[professionals]] who specialize in human nutrition, meal planning, [[economics]], and [[preparation]]. They are [[trained]] to provide safe, [[evidence]]-based dietary [[Counsel|advice]] and management to [[individuals]] (in health and disease), as well as to institutions.
