Nutrition

Nutrition is the science that studies the interactions between living organisms and the substances they consume for sustenance. It encompasses the processes by which an organism ingests, digests, absorbs, and assimilates food and nutrients, as well as how these nutrients are utilized for growth, metabolism, and overall health. Nutrition involves various components, including macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), and water, each playing a crucial role in maintaining bodily functions and promoting well-being. It also considers dietary patterns, food choices, and the relationship between diet and health, including the prevention of diseases through balanced nutrition and adequate intake of essential nutrients.
