Food Nutrition and Health

Proper food intake and nutritional control are essential for maintaining good health. The body requires six key nutrients from food: proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and water. These nutrients play crucial roles in processes such as food intake, absorption, assimilation, biosynthesis, catabolism, and excretion. An organism’s diet, which is the food it consumes, is largely determined by the availability of food, its processing, and its palatability.

A balanced diet involves food preparation and storage techniques that help preserve nutrients by protecting them from oxidation, heat, and leaching, while also minimizing the risk of foodborne illnesses. A poor diet can lead to various health problems, including deficiency diseases like blindness, anemia, scurvy, preterm birth, stillbirth, and cretinism. It can also contribute to conditions such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoarthritis.
