Food 101 in its fifth season, featuring Ms.Alana Bonnemann discussing nutrition we need in our body.

Nutrition is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being, as our bodies require a balanced intake of macronutrients and micronutrients to function optimally. Macronutrients—carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—provide the energy needed for daily activities, muscle growth, and cell repair. Carbohydrates serve as the body’s primary energy source, while proteins support tissue development and immune function. Healthy fats contribute to brain health, hormone production, and nutrient absorption. Additionally, micronutrients, including vitamins and minerals, play crucial roles in metabolism, bone strength, and disease prevention. Vitamins such as A, C, D, and E help boost immunity and maintain organ function, while minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium support strong bones, oxygen transport, and nerve signaling. Hydration is also vital, as water aids in digestion, circulation, and temperature regulation. A well-rounded diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats ensures that the body receives the necessary nutrients to thrive and prevent chronic diseases.
