Our body is very complex to understand. The important body parts like muscles, skin, hair, eyes, bones & blood are composed of carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals, fats, water and other elements. As per the scientists our body has 100 types of protein, 13 types of vitamins and 14 types of minerals. They may be in large (macro nutrients) or in small (micro nutrients) quantities and sizes, but they all have equal importance. We need a proper balance of macro and micro nutrients in our body to stay healthy.
Carbohydrates provide energy to the body and help all body parts to function properly. Proteins and minerals ensure development of new blood, skin, bones, hair and other vital organs.
Our body produces 200 billion red blood cells everyday, replacing all the blood in our body every 120 days as well as in 30-90 days our entire skin is replaced.
Some types of vitamins and minerals are catalysts in many body processes as they convert food into energy and help develop vital organs. Whenever we are short of energy (Carbohydrates), we feel hungry and try to meet the same by any type of food available. But deficiency of vitamins and minerals comes to our notice only when we fall sick or other serious health consequences.
If we are aware of our nutritional requirements then only we can save ourselves from clutches of serious health hazards.
