Make a habit of reading nutrition labels while grocery
shopping. Many foods seem similar to one another, but a quick
comparison of nutritional content will show otherwise.
The ingredient label states the nutritional facts about
which nutrients are in the food. Your body needs the
right combination of nutrients, such as vitamins to work
properly. Proper nutrition helps maintain health by
preventing muscle loss, decreased bone mass, vitamin
deficiency, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes high blood
pressure, sleep apnea, celiac disease, obesity, osteoporosis,
and cancers.

on the Nutritional Facts label:
