Food and Nutrition

What’s in Your Food?

Biochemistry explains how our bodies use nutrients from food. It helps us understand what a balanced diet is and why certain vitamins and minerals are important.

Nutrient Roles

  • Carbohydrates give quick energy.
  • Proteins help build and repair tissues.
  • Fats store energy and protect organs.
  • Vitamins and minerals are needed for chemical reactions.

Understanding nutrition helps us make healthier choices every day!

Examples

  • Athletes need protein to repair muscles after exercise.

  • Vitamin C from oranges boosts your immune system.
