The nutritional value of food that we eat greatly governs our health and therefore most of the activities that we do in our life. Our food is the only source of energy, minerals and vitamin for our body and is responsible for the efficient metabolism of the same.

BananaIn order to get different types of nutrients in the right quantities, we should eat all types of food including fruits such as apricot, banana, apple, orange, mango, pomegranate, grapes, grapefruit, pear, plum, cherry, dates, pineapple, blueberry, kiwi, lemon, strawberry, avocado, watermelon, etc., edible nuts such as almond, walnut, cashew, peanuts, peanut butter, pecans, etc., vegetables such as potato, tomato, mushroom, cucumber, beet, cabbage, radish, carrot, onion, broccoli, spinach, pumpkin, seaweed, chestnut, eggplant, turnip, sweet potato, lettuce, cauliflower, etc., cereals such as corn or maize, wheat, rice, barley, oats, sorghums, millets, rye, etc., animal products such as milk, cheese, butter, chicken, egg, egg whites, meat, beef, pork, fish, honey, shrimp, lobster, octopus, crab, etc., spices such as celery, chilies, turmeric, clove, pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, garlic, etc., oils such as mustard, flax seed, soybean, sunflower seed, coconut, olive, beverages such as wine, coffee, tea, alcohol, vodka, beer, etc.

The first paragraph states that "food is the only source of energy, minerals and vitamin for our body". This is not strictly true. While _most_ of our nutrients come from food, additionally our skin produces Vitamin D3 when exposed to sunlight. Adequate intake/production of vitamin D is essential to good health, so it's important to spend a little time (15min/day) in the sunlight on a regular basis. (Generally inadequate exposure to sunlight is why certain foods are now regularly fortified with vitamin D; but it's better to make it yourself!)
