What is the Definition of Diet?
Thursday, April 1st, 2010What is diet? Diet explained in layman terms.
Diet in plain terms is anything we eat to live from day to day. Humans are omnivore, meaning our diets come from plant and animal food sources. Some people are vegetarian and live on vegetable and fruits only.
WordNet Dictionary of Princeton University defines diet as:
- The usual food and drink consumed by an organism (person or animal)
- A prescribed selection of foods.
Notice that anything you drink is considered into account, so water, milk, apple juice, beer, vodka, cocktail, cokes, etc is part of your diet too.
By looking at your diet, an expert can predict how long you will live. In fact, you don’t even have to be an expert to do this. (more…) What is the Definition of Diet?
