Proper nutrition is a matter of getting enough of the right foods including vitamins and minerals a body needs to stay maintain proper health. Ingestion, digestion, absorption, and metabolism are all processes the body uses to repair and maintain the body as a whole including any one of its many parts. Malnutrition, or the lack of proper nutrition, can be a serious problem for older people.

Nutrition research has identified many components of good nutrition, so that in general a wide variety of unprocessed food is recommended as a natural preventive measure, to maintain good health rather than individual foods as remedies for perceived deficiencies.

The connection between nutrition and health has weakened however. Good health became the norm in the developed world through increased understanding of communicable diseases, micro-organisms and how to fight them with antibiotics, and other health developments. A hidden epidemic gradually emerged in the post World War II years, where non-communicable endemic illnesses began to flourish, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity.
