Nutrition

Nutrition is the process by which living organisms obtain and utilize food substances to support their growth, development, and maintenance. It encompasses the study of how food affects health, the biochemical processes involved in the absorption and metabolism of nutrients, and the dietary practices that promote optimal health. Nutrition involves various components, including macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), and water, all of which play vital roles in bodily functions. Proper nutrition is essential for maintaining energy levels, building and repairing tissues, regulating bodily processes, and preventing diseases. It also includes considerations of dietary patterns, food quality, and the impact of nutrition on overall well-being.
