Human Nutrition and Biochemistry explores the relationship between food, nutrients, and the human body at both macroscopic and molecular levels. It focuses on the digestion, absorption, metabolism, and utilization of nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals to support health and prevent disease. Biochemistry provides insight into the chemical processes within cells that are essential for life, including energy production, enzyme action, and hormonal regulation. Together, these disciplines form the foundation for understanding how dietary choices influence physiological functions, growth, immunity, and overall well-being.
