NOTE

NUTRITION I

Nutrition is the science that studies the interaction between nutrients and the human body. It encompasses the processes by which organisms ingest, digest, absorb, transport, and utilize nutrients to maintain life, support growth, and promote health. Nutrients are essential substances required by the body to function correctly, and they can be divided into two main categories:

  1. Macronutrients: These nutrients are needed in large quantities and include:

  - Carbohydrates: These provide a primary source of energy for the body, and they come from foods like grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes.

  - Proteins: These are essential for building and repairing tissues, maintaining muscle mass, and supporting the immune system. Sources include meat, fish, eggs, legumes, and dairy products.

  - Fats: These are crucial for energy, insulation, and cell membrane structure. They come from foods like avocados, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish.

  1. Micronutrients: These nutrients are needed in smaller amounts and include vitamins and minerals:

  - Vitamins: Vitamins play a crucial role in various bodily functions, such as immune system support, vision maintenance, and energy production. They can be divided into fat-soluble (A, D, E, and K) and water-soluble (B complex and C) vitamins.

  - Minerals: Minerals are essential for numerous body processes, including bone formation, fluid balance, and nerve function. Examples include calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc.

Balanced diet

A balanced diet containing a variety of foods from different food groups can provide all the necessary nutrients for good health. However, individual nutritional needs vary depending on factors such as age, sex, body size, and activity level.
