Nutrition

Nutrition refers to the process of obtaining and utilizing the necessary food substances required for growth, metabolism, and overall health. It encompasses the study of nutrients—such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals—and their impact on the body. Good nutrition is essential for maintaining bodily functions, supporting immune response, and promoting optimal physical and mental health. It involves not only the intake of food but also the digestion and absorption of nutrients to ensure that the body receives what it needs to function effectively. Proper nutrition contributes to disease prevention, supports development, and helps maintain a healthy weight.
