Nutrients Deficiency-Healthy Living Part 1
Healthy eating really does depend on being cause over your food selections. As long as you know what to eat, eating healthy could be very cheap.
Before we start planning our diet, let us find out what nutrients do we need in order to stay healthy. There are certain things that our body needs to function properly, whether you get them in a vitamin or a supplement or get them from food.
1. Vitamins-Vitamins are the fuel that your body uses to create new tissue, new cells, and to keep all the systems in the body running properly. Without vitamins you can?t survive. Vitamins are essential for life and good health.
2. Minerals-Dietary minerals are the chemical elements required by living organisms. Appropriate intake levels of certain chemical elements are thus required to maintain optimal health. Without the right minerals you won?t be able to process food effectively in order to get the vitamins that the body needs.
3. Amino Acids-Amino acids are critical to life, and have a variety of roles in metabolism. One particularly important function is as the building blocks of proteins, which are linear chains of amino acids. Amino acids are also important in many other biological molecules. Due to this central role in biochemistry, amino acids are very important in nutrition.
4. Fat-Even though fat is vilified as the source of obesity human beings need fat in their diets. Fat is stored in the body for energy. Fat also keeps the brain functioning well and helps protect the body from damage and temperature changes. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble, meaning they can only be digested, absorbed, and transported in conjunction with fats. Fats are also sources of essential fatty acids, an important dietary requirement.
5. Protein-The best-known role of proteins in the cell is as enzymes. Enzymes carry out most of the reactions involved in metabolism, as well as manipulating DNA in processes such as DNA replication, DNA repair, and transcription.
6. Carbohydrates-Carbs give you energy, and without them you will soon find yourself unable to do even simple tasks, even though some weight loss plans promote the idea that you don?t need carbohydrates. In order to have the energy that you need to get yourself out of bed each day and function in the world you need to eat at least a minimal amount of carbs everyday.
