IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITION IN OUR BODY
2
INTRODUCTION

• Have you ever think why nutrition is so
  important? Is it really that important or is it
  just a fad that has been going on for the past
  few years? If you want a genuine answer, then it
  is a yes. Nutrition is of paramount importance
  and there is no second opinion about it.
  Nutrition is the basis for all types of physical
  fitness. Be it a combat sport like boxing, MMA,
  or Muay Thai, be it an endurance sport like
  marathon running or relay racing, be it athletics
  like sprinting, high jumping, long jumping, or be
  it sports, nutrition is always the epicenter of
  every physical ordeal.

CATEGORIES FOR NUTRITION

• Nutrition is very important for physical fitness.
  It is essentially what we eat. It can be
  classified into two broad categories
• Macronutrient
• Micronutrient

MACRONUTRIENTS

• Macronutrients or macros, as they are called
  popularly among gym folks, are the major chunks
  of nutrients that are needed for the maintenance
  of all the bodily functions. Now, these
  macronutrients can be broken down into three sub
  categories, that is, proteins, carbohydrates, and
  fats. They are further classified into three
  categories
• Proteins
• Carbohydrates
• Fats

5
Proteins

• Proteins are required for building lean muscle
  tissues. Building lean muscle mass leads to
  muscle hypertrophy, that is, increase in the size
  of muscles. Proteins are also important because
  literally all the cells in our body are made it.
  Proteins are also required for building and
  repairing damaged tissues and cells. Proteins can
  be further broken down into amino acids, which
  can further be divided into essential amino
  acids, semi-essential amino acids, and
  non-essential amino acids.

6
Carbohydrates

• Carbohydrates are the primary sources of energy
  for human beings. It also constitutes the largest
  share in diets. However, this fact depends on the
  needs of the person. Carbohydrates are broken
  down into simple sugars, that is, glucose, which
  is then further stored as glycogen in the liver
  and in the muscles as a source of energy.
  Carbohydrates or carbs are needed by the body to
  carry our physical activity. Carbohydrates can be
  divided into two sub divisions, that is, simple
  carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates.

7
Fats

• Fats are of two types Dietary fats and Stored
  fats. Dietary fats can be actually used to burn
  more fat from the body, on the other hand, stored
  fats have no relation whatsoever with dietary
  fats. That being said, dietary fats are also used
  as a source of energy by the body when there is a
  low supply of carbohydrates. It can be said that
  fats are the secondary source of energy for the
  body. Fats can be further divided into trans
  fats, saturated fats, and unsaturated fats.

8
Micronutrients

• Micronutrients are the smaller particles in our
  nutrition that too play a crucial role in our
  well-being and physical fitness. Micronutrients
  are of two types i.e. the vitamins and minerals
  that constitute the food we eat along with
  macronutrients. Vitamins like vitamin A, vitamin
  Bs, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K,
  and minerals like zinc, iron, magnesium, sodium,
  copper, selenium, calcium, potassium, phosphorus,
  and antioxidants are very important components of
  our diets.

9
Vitamins

• There are two forms of vitamins water soluble
  and fat soluble. Water soluble minerals such as
  B-complex vitamins and vitamin C gets easily lost
  through bodily fluids and must be replaced each
  day. Fat soluble accumulate within the body and
  are not needed on the daily basis. The examples
  of fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E and K.

10
Minerals

• Minerals are the substances which our body needs
  for the health and growth. Minerals are of two
  types Macrominerals and Microminerals. Examples
  of Macrominerals are calcium, magnesium,
  phosphorus, potassium, sodium, etc. Examples of
  Microminerals are iron, copper, iodine, zinc,
  fluoride, etc.
