Ernæring

Ernæring is the Danish and Norwegian term for “nutrition.” It refers to the process of obtaining the food necessary for health and growth. Nutrition involves the intake of essential nutrients, which include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, that are required by the body for energy, maintenance, and overall functioning. The study of nutrition encompasses how these nutrients are absorbed, metabolized, and utilized by the body, as well as their effects on health, disease prevention, and overall well-being. Proper nutrition is critical for sustaining life, optimizing physical performance, and supporting mental health. It also plays a vital role in the development and functioning of bodily systems, and dietary choices can significantly impact both individual and public health.
