Nutrition

Nutrition is the process by which living organisms obtain and utilize food substances to support growth, maintenance, and overall health. It involves the ingestion, digestion, absorption, and metabolism of nutrients, which include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Adequate nutrition is essential for the body to function properly, as it provides the energy needed for daily activities, supports bodily functions such as immune response, and aids in the repair and regeneration of tissues. Nutrition also encompasses the study of dietary practices and how they influence health outcomes, including the prevention of diseases and the promotion of well-being. It is an important field that combines aspects of biology, health sciences, and food science.
