Nutrition

Nutrition is the science that studies the processes by which living organisms acquire, assimilate, and utilize food and nutrients for growth, maintenance, and overall health. It encompasses the intake of macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), their absorption, metabolism, and the role they play in bodily functions and energy production. Proper nutrition is essential for sustaining life, promoting health, and preventing diseases. It also involves understanding dietary practices, food choices, and their impact on individual health and wellness.
