Nutrition Handbook: Part 2 - The Definition of Food

Food is what someone eats and drinks in their diet that is required for health, wellness, and well-being, including beverages, meals, snacks, salt, and dietary supplements.

The body will have feelings of hunger when the body desires nutrition to function, recover, develop, and grow. Hunger is satisfied by eating food and drinking water and beverages.

Food, as medicine, is used to purposefully assist in healing the body which oftentimes is when someone includes herbs into their diet to support certain parts of the body to increase in health.
