Nutrition The Food Facts

Read more about Nutrition The Food Facts

 

Nutrition is the study of the nutrients in foods and how the body utilises them.

The major nutrients in an animal diet are proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Carbohydrates are the main source of blood glucose, which is a major fuel for all of the body's cells and the only source of energy for the brain and red blood cells. Lipids/fats are a group of substances soluble in alcohol but not in water - they are the best source of energy for the rest of the body. Protein is more important as the body's building material. Also included in the diet, in lesser amounts, are vitamins and minerals.

 

A healthy, balanced diet is one where all food groups are eaten in the correct proportions.

This book investigates nutrients, food groups and healthy eating techniques.
