Allergy shots help your body get used to allergens, the things that trigger an allergic reaction. They donât cure allergies, but eventually your symptoms will get better and you may not have allergic reactions as often.
The difference between food and nutrient? The term nutrient describes substances that are required by the body to live and function. Foods are comprised of various nutrient values (some better than others).
Serving Sizes and Portions Portions and Servings: What's the Difference? A portion is the amount of food that you choose to eat for a meal or snack. It can be big or small, you decide. A serving is a measured amount of food or drink, such as one slice of bread or one cup (eight ounces) of milk. Many foods that come as a single portion actually contain multiple servings. The Nutrition Facts label on packaged foods, on the backs of cans, sides of boxes, etc. tells you the number of servings in the container.
