Just a Spoonful of Nutrition!

Nutrition is the science that interprets the relationship of food to the functioning of the living organism. In humans it involves the intake of food, the conversion of that food into energy, the impact of food and the compounds in food on all biochemical and hormonal pathways, elimination of wastes and the syntheses of all organic molecules for the maintenance, growth and reproduction of the species. Nutrition is achieved in various ways by different forms of life.
