The body needs energy to perform its function that we obtain from the food we eat and digest through the complex physical and chemical process. The food we eat also provides the raw material for the different anabolic activities such as the formation of bones, and muscles.
Thus, the consumed food's components that provide energy and raw materials to maintain the normal activity of the body are called nutrients or nutrition.
