Food performs various functions in the body. Modern nutritionists and domestic economists are of the opinion that the human body performs the following functions of food. For example:
1. Food contributes to the body's decay and growth.
2. Food produces body heat and energy.
3. Food enhances immunity in the body.
4. Food controls the body's internal functions.
5. Food keeps the body healthy, normal and functioning.
6. Food enhances the body's nutritional capacity. One of the biological processes of life is nutrition. Nutrition is the process by which an organism's food is broken down through maturation upon entering the body and absorbed by the body's essential parts, increasing the body's erosion, aging, energy production and immunity. And the mechanism by which the nourishment of the body is accomplished is called a nutritional system. As the best creature of creation, our nutritional system is composed of the mouth, gallbladder, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, gallbladder, rectum, liver and enzyme glands. If the total amount of food items that are needed is less than the amount of food, then the body will become weak and performance will decline. This condition is called nutritional deficiency or Subnutrition. So nutrition means not just understanding the nutrients, but also the proportion of the ingredients in the diet.
