Write notes on the following roughage, water, minerals, cooking food
Answers
Answer:
- Roughage
Roughage, or fiber, refers to the carbs in plants that your body cannot digest. This article uses the terms roughage and fiber interchangeably. Once roughage reaches your large intestine, it’s either broken down by your gut bacteria or exits your body in your stools. There are two main types of fiber — soluble and insoluble.
- Water
Water is involved in just about everything our body does. It’s a big part of the blood that brings nutrients to all our cells. We use it to get rid of wastes. It helps us regulate our body temperature. It acts as a shock absorber for our brain and spinal cord. We are very dependent on water. In plants, water defies gravity.
- Minerals
Minerals are solid substances that are present in nature and can be made of one element or more elements combined together (chemical compounds). Gold, Silver and carbon are elements that form minerals on their own. Minerals are also important for making enzymes and hormones. There are two kinds of minerals: macrominerals and trace minerals. You need larger amounts of macrominerals. They include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride and sulfur.
- Cooking Food
Cooking is a process to make food ready to eat by heating it. Cooking can kill bacteria that may be in the food. Raw food is food that is not cooked. Some foods are good to eat raw. At its most basic, cooking means applying heat to food. Whether the food is baked, fried, sautéed, boiled, or grilled, it's all cooking.
