Do We Need Nutrients? Healthy Living-Part 1
Healthy diet plays the key role in our healthy living dream. But eating healthy doesn't mean you have to spend fortune. It works pretty well on a low budget, as long as you know what to eat.
Healthy diet requires some planning and some purpose to include a variety of food in your meal. Before we start planning our diet, let us find out what nutrients do we need in order to stay healthy.
1. Vitamins-Vitamins are nutrients that allow chemical reactions that lead to the creation of bone, tissue and muscle. Vitamins ensure the functioning of the nervous system, vitamins also allow the body to use calories as energy, process proteins carbs and fats.
2. Minerals-Minerals is the key to process food effectively in order to get the vitamins that the body needs. Some sources state that sixteen minerals are required to support human biochemical processes which helps your body digest food and keep your metabolism running properly.
3. Amino Acids-Amino acids are critical to life, and have a variety of roles in metabolism. One particularly important function is as the building blocks of proteins, which are linear chains of amino acids. Amino acids are also important in many other biological molecules. Due to this central role in biochemistry, amino acids are very important in nutrition.
4. Fat-Fats are a source of energy, they help us to absorb some vitamins and contain important things called essential fatty acids. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble, meaning they can only be digested, absorbed, and transported in conjunction with fats. Fat also keeps the brain functioning well and helps protect the body from damage and temperature changes.
5. Protein-Protein is one of the key building blocks of the body. Protein is the main source of energy for the body. Protein also helps build muscle and it is essential to help the body repair damage and keep all the systems of the body running efficiently.
6. Carbohydrates-Carbohydrates are an ideal source of energy for the body. This is because they can be converted more readily into glucose, the form of sugar that's transported and used by the body. Additionally, carbohydrates and their derivatives play major roles in the working process of the immune system, fertilization, pathogenesis, blood clotting, and development.
