Posted on July 1st, 2010 in Uncategorized by

There are many reasons and causes so we eat food, and the simplest answer to the question is that food helps to quench appetite and there are many other reasons for eating food as you are bored, sad or happy. These all are worldly reasons for eating food, however, there is a scientific reasoning too exist for eating food.

The one of the prominent reason for eating food is that it provides energy to our body so it can function appropriately and in effective manner. As a person needs a fuel in car or battery is charged for the functioning of the phone. In same manner our body also needs food as to sustain to its day-today activities. The primary form of energy for the body is carbohydrates. Among all the nutrients received by the body, carbohydrates are the easiest to digest.  Carbohydrates are further broken down by body in form of individual glucose, fructose or galactose units.  Glucose is your body’s favorite form of energy. If you don’t get enough carbohydrates, your body can make glucose from protein or fat and if you get too many carbohydrates, your body is very good at storing them as fat.

Another important and valuable nutrient in the body is amino acids and they are required for repairing for various parts of the body. In our muscles a good amount of protein remains saved out and thus is required by replenish that protein through the diet. Our body also needs protein for the different needs of our immune system, hormones, nervous system and organs. There a little amount of Vitamins and minerals are also too needed like as carbohydrates, protein and fats in small amount to cure body entirely. So these minerals too are needed for the adequate and proper growth of the human bodies.

So healthy eating is very necessary for the growth of the body as it provides energy, structural components, vitamins and other minerals. There are many other substances in the food that have come to our notice for some years and too are necessary for the entire growth of the body. Phytochemicals are found in the colorful parts of fruits and vegetables yet they does are not play any direct role in functioning of the body yet they are very necessary and have a positive impact over the health of the body. Another important content found in the fruits is Antioxidants that protect body from damage that comes from the sun, pollution, smoke and poor dietary choices.

A healthy diet provides the body the right amount of energy, enough raw materials.  Good nutrition gives all the necessary phytochemicals and antioxidants that help a person keeping healthy and young and great and even disease less.
