Difference Between Organic Food & Conventional Food

The Importance of Nutrition in a Healthy Diet ​

Nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy diet, as it directly supports the body’s growth, energy production, immune system, and overall function. A nutritious diet provides the essential elements our body needs to perform daily activities and maintain physical and mental well-being.

Nutrition is the process through which our body absorbs essential nutrients from food and uses them in various bodily functions. It is essential for maintaining health and ensuring the body functions properly. Nutrition is generally categorized into macronutrients (such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) and micronutrients (such as vitamins and minerals).

What Are Macronutrients?

Macronutrients, commonly known as “macros,” are the nutrients we consume in larger quantities. These include carbohydrates, lipids (fats), and proteins. Each macronutrient plays specific roles in the body, such as providing energy to the central nervous system, protecting vital organs, building and maintaining muscles, supporting proper growth and development, and boosting the immune system.

Carbohydrate-Rich Foods

Carbohydrates are the body’s primary source of energy, easily digestible and providing quick energy. After consumption, carbohydrates are converted into glucose, which is used as fuel for muscles and the brain.

Energy per gram: 4 kcal

Examples: Rice, bread, potatoes, fruits, milk, wheat, or similar grains.

Protein-Rich Foods

Proteins are essential for the development and repair of body tissues and muscles. Once digested, proteins break down into amino acids, which are used for the body’s structural and functional needs.

Energy per gram: 4 kcal

Examples: Fish, meat, lentils, eggs, peas, nuts.

Fat-Rich Foods

Fats help store energy, regulate body temperature, and aid in the absorption of essential vitamins. Fats provide the highest number of calories among nutrients.

Energy per gram: 9 kcal

Examples: Olive oil, coconut oil, avocado, nuts, ghee.


What are Micronutrients?

Micronutrients are nutrients that are required in smaller amounts and include vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals (commonly known as micronutrients). Your body uses vitamins and minerals for various metabolic processes, such as maintaining cellular function, growth, and proper development.

Phytochemicals are chemical compounds produced by plants. While they are not classified as essential nutrients, there is evidence that these compounds may offer health benefits.



Types of Micronutrients:

Vitamins:

Vitamins are organic nutrients that help the body perform a wide range of vital processes. Since the body cannot produce vitamins on its own, they must be obtained from food. Vitamins are categorized into two types:

1. Fat-Soluble Vitamins:  These include vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are stored in the body's fat tissues.

2. Water-Soluble Vitamins: These include vitamin C and B-complex vitamins (like B1, B2, B12), which are not stored in the body and are excreted through urine if consumed in excess.

Minerals:

Minerals are inorganic elements that are crucial for bones, teeth, blood circulation, and nerve functions. They are divided into two types:

1.Macrominerals: These include calcium, potassium, and magnesium, which the body needs in larger amounts.

2. Microminerals: These include iron, zinc, and copper, required in smaller quantities.



Phytochemicals/Phytonutrients:

Phytonutrients are plant-derived chemical compounds that contribute to a plant's color, aroma, and flavor. These compounds are known to boost the immune system and act as antioxidants. Examples include:

  1. Carotenoids (found in carrots, tomatoes)
  2. Flavonoids (found in berries and green tea)
  3. Sulforaphane (found in broccoli)

Additional Important Nutritional Elements:

Fiber-Rich Foods: Fiber aids digestion and prevents constipation. It is found mainly in plant-based foods and comes in two types:

Special Nutritional Foods:

Soluble Fiber:

Dissolves in water and helps control cholesterol and glucose levels.

Examples: chia seeds, basil seeds, guava, citrus fruits.

Superfoods:

Superfoods are nutrient-dense foods that offer a wide range of health benefits. They boost immunity, provide energy, and promote long-term health.

Examples: Organic Maca-Cacao Blend, Chia Seeds, Spirulina, and Quinoa Functional Foods: 

Functional foods not only provide essential nutrients but also offer specific health benefits beyond regular foods. These foods are often consumed to prevent diseases or improve health conditions.

Examples: Probiotic Yogurt (improves gut health), Vinegar, Turmeric Booster, Huana Ropo Macho, and Flax Seeds.
