Understanding Nutrition Metabolism and Metabolic Pathways Macronutrients and their Metabolism Micronutrients: Vitamins and Minerals Role of Enzymes in Metabolism
Summary: Proper nutrition is essential to avoid deficiency-related diseases like anemia, blindness, scurvy, stillbirth, preterm birth and cretinism. Metabolism is a group of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms. It helps in the conversion of food to energy for running cellular processes. It also converts the food to building blocks for proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and carbohydrates. Proper nutrition is essential for metabolism since metabolic pathways depend upon nutrients which they breakdown to produce energy.
