Eating right used to be simple. But today, with thousands of food products to choose from in the grocery store and a blitz of new diet studies, it's no wonder we're all a bit confused.

Although most people knew the basics of nutrition at one time or another, for many, that sound advice has been forgotten. It's due time to get back to "Nutrition Basics."

In this video, we will tell you about the building blocks of good nutrition - water, carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. Then we will put everything back together again to create delicious and nutrition meals.

"Nutrition Basics" takes the mystery out of eating with simple advice you can use to choose a well-balanced diet. Nutrition journalist and registered dietitian, Liz Weiss, uses the Food Guide Pyramid to show you just how easy it is to eat a variety of flavorful foods that are good for you too.
