Abstract

Mirouse Adrien

Nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining our overall health and well-being. It provides the necessary building blocks for our bodies to function properly and supports various biochemical processes. Behind the scenes, intricate chemical reactions take place, converting food into energy and essential molecules that our bodies need. Understanding the chemistry of nutrition can help us make informed choices about what we eat and how it affects our health. Our bodies are intricate systems composed of trillions of cells working together to support life. To maintain the health and proper functioning of these cells, we require specific nutrients known as the building blocks for our bodies. These essential substances provide the necessary components for growth, repair and various biochemical processes. Understanding these building blocks can help us make informed choices about our diet and overall well-being.
