Of late, the buzz around nutrients is everywhere. We see people taking nutrients through various sources ranging from natural food to diet supplements.Nutrition, as science, helps us understand how nutrients and its related substances enable us to grow and maintain our body health to fight against any diseases.We are stating out this obvious information to stress on the importance of nutrients because no matter how obvious nutrition seems, it’s often overlooked. And now, with the pandemic cases on the rise, people seem to understand and are trying to strengthen their immunity.And nutrients can help.Before we dive into its importance, let's talk about some biology.
Nutrients are grouped into two major groups, the Micro kind, and the Macro kind. If we look at the sub-divisional classes, they are divided into seven vis-a-vis carbohydrates, fat, water, vitamins, proteins, minerals, and fiber.Macronutrients help in producing energy and these are required in large quantities whereas micronutrients help with metabolism.Our whole existence on this planet is because of a combination of multiple elements be it iron, copper, salt, sugar, potassium, magnesium, or the hundred other elements that sustain life. They all serve to produce energy to keep our cells alive. So, the whole natural state of our human bodies depend on these nutrients. Of course, these are required in minute quantities. Hence the name micronutrients.
On the other hand, we also need to function which might involve moving, lifting, talking, and all the things a human body can do. These functions need energy, and if we question how energy is formed, the answer again is these chemicals that are needed in large quantities like the carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorus, etc. Hence the name macronutrients.So for our existence, we need micronutrients and for our functioning we need macronutrients.
Imagine a situation where these nutrients are scarce or are unavailable completely. Leave our daily chores, our mere existence would be at stake.Not only that, nutrients also help us in fighting bacteria and viruses that can harm our bodies. This is due to their repairing capabilities that act in case of any damage to the cell or organism. In a way, nutrients are the building blocks and maintenance engineers of a human body.And come to think of it, with our busy lives and unhealthy food habits, aren’t we consuming enough food and yet falling short on nutrients?That’s where food supplements, or Nutraceuticals, can come handy.
Apart from the food we eat, food supplements can help us get the dose of nutrients that our bodies need. Supplements help in aiding our bodies with the required nutrients when the food that we eat does not have enough of them.However, taking a lot of these nutrients just because they help doesn’t do any good. There needs to be a balanced diet that comprises both healthy food and some of these nutrient supplements that are deficient in the body. Exploiting or abusing these nutrient supplements could lead to many health risks.
As we come to know the function and the importance of Nutrients, the role they play during crisis situations like a pandemic is elevated. This is due to the body’s increased activity towards fighting the virus, pathogens, or any potential risks. In these situations, the body needs proper food and supplements in aiding the fight. This is where nutrition supplements help us. They give our body the required strength to fight disease-causing viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms. It is also vital that we maintain a healthy balanced diet.
