I suppose you mean proper nutrition. Main function of digestive system is to break down food and turn it in to energy. You have most probably heard about calories. So, 1 gram of Protein is 4 kcal, 1 gram of Carbohydrates is 4 kcal and 1 gram of Fat is 9 kcal. (also let's not forget that 1 gram of Alcohol is 7 kcal) Average male needs about 2000 to 2500 kcal a day to function properly (it's slightly less for females it depends on bodyweight, amount of muscle mass and activity level) 

Along with water those are Macronutrients (carbs,protein and fat).
 
Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals essential for your body. For example Vitamin C, Iron, Zinc...

Now, proper nutrition is balanced diet filled with vitamins, minerals, quality sources of protein, carbs, fats and also filled with right amount of fiber which plays a vital role in your digestion by helping you with bowel movements and even lowering  your blood cholesterol levels. So basically proper nutrition is connected to main function of digestive system in a way that by supplying your body with everything it needs, giving you right amount of energy it also keeps your whole body healthy at the same time.

Okay so im wondering this, i have a love and i dislike him alot.
Arlecino [84]
Answer to 1: the way you can tell of a guy likes you is by the way he looks at you. Keep this in mind it’s the little things he does for you . When he sees you his face lights up . You have his full attention no one else matters in the picture but you !

Answer 2: how to break up with guy ? There’s no easy answer but to be honest. I know that sounds basic but that’s the best thing. You don’t have to tell him your in love with someone else you can always say you lost interest. It’s not gonna be easy but try to put in the best manner . When you break up with him I recommend in person because over txt is sometimes not the best. (Whatever you feel comfortable with though!) I hope all goes well ! :)

A teen has been asked to carry
lbvjy [14]

No, he shouldn't continue lifting this way. When you're lifting something, you need to use proper body mechanics. With the way he stooped over to pick up the box, he has a high chance of injuring his back; you shouldn't bend at your waist when picking something up. Also, you should hold the object close to your body at your waist level. In this case, he should stand with his feet shoulder-width apart, he should bend at his knees instead of his waist, and he should be in a squat-like position when picking up the box.
