HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Protein is essential to many processes in the body. It provides structure to the tissue. That includes cell membranes, organs, muscle, hair, skin, nails, bones, tendons, ligaments and blood plasma. Proteins are involved in metabolic, hormonal and enzyme systems and help maintain acid-base balance in our bodies.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fats help the body stockpile certain nutrients as well. The so-called “fat-soluble” vitamins-A, D, E and K-are stored in the liver and in fatty tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nutrients are vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and water. These six essential nutrients are something we all need for growth, energy, and for maintenance and repair of our cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dietary fats are nutrients in food that the body uses to build cell membranes, nerve tissue (like the brain), and hormones. Fat in our diet is a source of calories. When you eat more calories than the body uses, the extra energy is stored as body fat.
