Nutrition

Nutrients provide energy or nourish your body in some way. A healthy diet provides all of the nutrients your body needs without excessive calories. The types of sugar you eat, your balance of calories and absorption of minerals are key elements that determine whether you get the nutrients you need.

Nutrition, nourishment, or aliment, is the supply of materials - food - required by organisms and cells to stay alive. In science and human medicine, nutrition is the science or practice of consuming and utilizing foods.

Nutritional science studies how the body breaks food down (catabolism) and repairs and creates cells and tissue (anabolism) - catabolism and anabolism = metabolism. Nutritional science also examines how the body responds to food.
