Eine richtige Ernährung ist wichtig für die Gesundheit. Nur durch eine ausgewogene und abwechslungsreiche Ernährung können dem Körper ausreichend Nährstoffe zugeführt werden. Eine Fehlernährung kann zu schweren Krankheiten führen.
Wichtige ernährungsbedingte Krankheiten, die hauptsächlich durch die Veränderung der Arbeits-, Lebens- und Essgewohnheiten besonders in den industrialisierten Ländern auftreten, sind: Karies, Übergewicht und Bluthochdruck. Eine weitere Gruppe von ernährungsbedingten Erkrankungen sind Vitaminmangelkrankheiten, die allerdings in den Ländern mit guter Lebensmittelversorgung eher selten sind.
Kohlenhydrate liefern Energie. Sie sind vor allem in Getreide und Getreideprodukten zu finden, z. B. in Brot, Kartoffeln, Reis, Nudeln, Obst und Zucker.
Fette liefern ebenfalls Energie. Sie enthalten aber außerdem fettlösliche Vitamine, z. B. A, D, und E und ungesättigte Fettsäuren. Fette sind enthalten in Butter, Pflanzenöl, Sahne, Käse, Wurst und Nüssen.
Eiweiße versorgen den Körper mit lebensnotwendigen Aminosäuren. Sie sind die Bausteine der Eiweiße. Viele Prozesse im Körper benötigen Aminosäuren. Fleisch, Milch, Joghurt, Käse, Fisch, Eier, Getreide und Kartoffeln sind die wichtigsten Eiweißlieferanten.
Vitamine und Mineralstoffe steuern den gesamten Stoffwechsel und spielen im Immunsystem eine entscheidende Rolle. Zu finden sind sie in Obst und Gemüse, Milch, Fisch und Fleisch.
Die Ballaststoffe sind die wichtigsten Sattmacher. Sie regulieren den Stoffwechsel und sorgen für eine gesunde Verdauung. Sie sind in Obst, Gemüse, Vollkornprodukten und Hülsenfrüchten enthalten.

Belfast
The historic capital of Northern Ireland, Belfast is the second largest city on the island of Ireland, after Dublin, with a population of over 275,000 in the city limits alone. Famous for its shipbuilding (the Titanic was built here in 1912, and Belfast also sports the largest drydock in the world), Belfast has been for a long time an industrial city, with industries such as linen, rope-making, tobacco and heavy engineering thriving by the end of the 19th century. However, the city is not without its greenery, with over 40 public parks; and is also a cultural and academic centre, earning it the nickname The Athens of Ireland.
