Nutrition is the foundation of health and well-being, encompassing the vital components of food that our bodies require for growth, energy, and optimal functioning. It involves the study of how nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals interact within our bodies to support various physiological processes.
