    Food and nutrients

    Proper nutrition is one of the most essential elements to being healthy and
    living a long life. People deal with food every day, and food has been a part of
    life since the beginning of civilization.
    What we eat becomes our diet, and our diet plays a major role in deciding how
    healthy we are and how well our body functions. Without proper diet, our body
    cannot carry out the functions it needs to perform. Most people have some
    common knowledge on what is good and what is bad for the human body to
    consume. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains are some common items people
    think of when they think of healthy foods. Healthy food refers to food that
    contains the right amount of nutrients to keep our body fit. Furthermore, it is
    also very delicious as opposed to popular thinking. Nowadays, kids need to eat
    healthy food more than ever. We must encourage good eating habits so that
    our future generations will be healthy and fit. Most importantly, the harmful
    effects of junk food and the positive impact of healthy food must be stressed
    upon. People should teach kids from an early age about the same. Heathy food
    have numerous benefits like it does not only impact our physical health but
    mental health too. When we intake healthy fruits and vegetables that are full
    of nutrients, we reduce the chances of diseases. For instance, green vegetables
    help us to maintain strength. In addition, certain healthy food items keep away
    long-term illnesses like diabetes and blood pressure. Nutrition begins with
    food. Nutrition is the process by which the body nourishes itself by
    transforming food into energy and body tissues. Food provides essential
    substances called nutrients. The body needs these nutrients to help it make
    energy; to grow, repair, and maintain its tissues, and to keep its different
    systems working smoothly. Nutrition is important for all organisms. The term
    nutrition can also refer to the quality of someone’s food choices, or diet. A
    balanced diet is one in which foods eaten on a regular basis provide all the
    nutrients needed in the right amounts. A balanced diet has many benefits. It
    can help people feel and look their best. It can also help them stay energetic
    and healthy, both in the short term and later in life. The nutrients are divided
    into six major types: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and
    water. Each nutrient performs specific functions to keep the body healthy. All
    the nutrients work together to contribute to good health. Of these six groups,
    carbohydrates, fats, and protein provide energy for the body in the form of
    calories. The remaining three nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and water are
    essential for the body to use these other nutrients properly. That is why it is
    really important to eat heathy food, unfortuately a lot of people simply just
    don’t care that is why we see how the fast-food market is increasing at a rapid
    rate. With the onset of food delivery apps and more, people now like having
    junk food more. In addition, junk food is also tastier and easier to prepare.
    However, just to satisfy our taste buds we are risking our health. You may feel
    more satisfied after having junk food but that is just the feeling of fullness and
    nothing else. Consumption of junk food leads to poor concentration. Moreover,
    you may also get digestive problems as junk food does not have fiber which
    helps indigestion. Similarly, irregularity of blood sugar levels happens because
    of junk food. It is so because it contains fewer carbohydrates and protein. Also,
    junk food increases levels of cholesterol. In short, we must recognize that
    though junk food may seem more tempting and appealing, it comes with a
    great cost. A cost which is very hard to pay. Therefore, we all must have
    healthy foods and strive for a longer and healthier life.
    In addition, healthy food also helps you save money. It is much cheaper in
    comparison to junk food. Plus all that goes into the preparation of healthy food
    is also of low cost. This, you will be saving a great amount when you only
    consume healthy food.
