Nutrición, or nutrition in English, refers to the process by which living organisms obtain and utilize food to support growth, maintenance, and overall health. It encompasses the intake, digestion, absorption, and metabolism of nutrients, which include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Nutrition plays a vital role in maintaining bodily functions, supporting energy levels, and preventing diseases. It involves not only the consumption of food but also the biochemical and physiological processes that convert ingested nutrients into energy and building blocks for cellular structure and function. Proper nutrition is essential for overall well-being and is influenced by various factors, including age, gender, lifestyle, and health status. The study of nutrition also examines dietary patterns, food security, and the impact of nutrition on health outcomes throughout the lifecycle.
