Hi friends! Today we will learn how we should be healthy by nutrition. Is it curious to know? Yes friends come on let’s get in to the topic without delay.

As there is fundamental or basic is mandatory for everything, it happens to health also. For health the fundamental is “NUTRITION”. Where do we get nutrition? Of course it is through diet. So we can firmly say “DIET” is fundamental to “NUTRITION” and “NUTRITION” is fundamental to “HEALTH”.

So in this post, we are going to know very briefly about basics of nutrition and diet and also please do check out with WHO(World Health Organization) to get important of healthy diet. 
As we know we get nutrition through diet, we must know what the diet i.e. food composed of? In general it is composed of Macro and Micro nutrients. What! Macro... Micro… Yes whatever edible food you consume contains Macro and Micro nutrients.

Let us know each of them in brief
Macro-nutrients:
          This component contains 1.carbohydrate
                   2. Proteins
                   3. Fats
They are required by our body in large quantities which is why it is named as Macro. These components give us energy which is measured by calories.

Carbohydrates:
                carbs after digestion gets converted to glucose which gives us essential and immediate source of energy to our body thus helps us to do our daily activities like walking, talking, running and also helps every organ in our body to function properly.
Proteins:
Proteins after digestion get converted to amino acids which are the main source for our muscle building and it does various other functions. Hence gymnastics, bodybuilders focus more protein in their diet.
Fats:
                Fats after digestion get converted to fatty acids which help to produce hormones in our body and also provide energy when carbohydrate is available in our body. Really! Yes it is. But keep in mind Trans-fat a variant of fat which is not good for health. You will come to know more about this in later post.

Micro-Nutrients:
                These composed of 1. Vitamins
                                                2. Minerals.
As the name suggests us that it required by our body in low quantities. But is very essential by our body to do various functions. Though vitamins and minerals needed by our body in low quantity; deficiency of these Will leads to numerous health problems.  So it is necessary for us to know that are we taking these nutrients properly and regularly.

Calories:
The main source of energy which is measured in calories is through Macro-nutrients. Ohhh! So let us grossly calculate how much calorie we get from each of them below:

Carbs- 4 calories per gram
Proteins- 4 calories per gram
Fats- 9 calories per gram

Oh my god! Fats are the highest calorie yielding among the three.

Calories and body weight:
            One general rule is that "The less the calories you utilize the more the body weight you gain". So the amount of calories we take must be burnt to avoid obese, overweight problems.
         

 So start doing physical activities like jogging, swimming,  playing sports in playground. It helps to refresh your mind and you feel more active. In the following post let us learn everything in detail with regards to diet and nutrition in detail. Eat good food and stay healthy.

Tip:
           Every time when you do shopping on eatables please read out the nutritional value mentioned on the pack.  Think 🤔🤔 about it before purchase.
