Human nutrition and biochemistry are fundamental to understanding how the body functions, grows, and maintains health. Nutrition provides the essential nutrients—carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals—required for energy production, growth, immune function, and disease prevention. Biochemistry helps explain how these nutrients are digested, absorbed, transported, and metabolized at the cellular and molecular levels. Together, they form the scientific basis for dietary recommendations, therapeutic nutrition interventions, and the development of functional foods, playing a vital role in promoting overall well-being and preventing lifestyle-related diseases.
