  1. IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITION IN OUR BODY

  2. INTRODUCTION Have you ever think why nutrition is so important? Is it really that important or is it just a fad that has been going on for the past few years? If you want a genuine answer, then it is a ‘yes’. Nutrition is of paramount importance and there is no second opinion about it. Nutrition is the basis for all types of physical fitness. Be it a combat sport like boxing, MMA, or Muay Thai, be it an endurance sport like marathon running or relay racing, be it athletics like sprinting, high jumping, long jumping, or be it sports, nutrition is always the epicenter of every physical ordeal.

  3. CATEGORIES FOR NUTRITION Nutrition is very important for physical fitness. It is essentially what we eat. It can be classified into two broad categories: • Macronutrient • Micronutrient

  4. MACRONUTRIENTS Macronutrients or macros, as they are called popularly among gym folks, are the major chunks of nutrients that are needed for the maintenance of all the bodily functions. Now, these macronutrients can be broken down into three sub categories, that is, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. They are further classified into three categories: • Proteins • Carbohydrates • Fats

  5. Proteins Proteins are required for building lean muscle tissues. Building lean muscle mass leads to muscle hypertrophy, that is, increase in the size of muscles. Proteins are also important because literally all the cells in our body are made it. Proteins are also required for building and repairing damaged tissues and cells. Proteins can be further broken down into amino acids, which can further be divided into essential amino acids, semi-essential amino acids, and non-essential amino acids.

  6. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are the primary sources of energy for human beings. It also constitutes the largest share in diets. However, this fact depends on the needs of the person. Carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars, that is, glucose, which is then further stored as glycogen in the liver and in the muscles as a source of energy. Carbohydrates or carbs are needed by the body to carry our physical activity. Carbohydrates can be divided into two sub divisions, that is, simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates.

  7. Fats Fats are of two types – Dietary fats and Stored fats. Dietary fats can be actually used to burn more fat from the body, on the other hand, stored fats have no relation whatsoever with dietary fats. That being said, dietary fats are also used as a source of energy by the body when there is a low supply of carbohydrates. It can be said that fats are the secondary source of energy for the body. Fats can be further divided into trans fats, saturated fats, and unsaturated fats.

  8. Micronutrients Micronutrients are the smaller particles in our nutrition that too play a crucial role in our well-being and physical fitness. Micronutrients are of two types i.e. the vitamins and minerals that constitute the food we eat along with macronutrients. Vitamins like vitamin A, vitamin B’s, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, and minerals like zinc, iron, magnesium, sodium, copper, selenium, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and antioxidants are very important components of our diets.

  9. Vitamins There are two forms of vitamins – water soluble and fat soluble. Water soluble minerals such as B-complex vitamins and vitamin C gets easily lost through bodily fluids and must be replaced each day. Fat soluble accumulate within the body and are not needed on the daily basis. The examples of fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E and K.

  10. Minerals Minerals are the substances which our body needs for the health and growth. Minerals are of two types – Macrominerals and Microminerals. Examples of Macrominerals are – calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, etc. Examples of Microminerals are – iron, copper, iodine, zinc, fluoride, etc. Original Source: http://www.empowher.com/community/share/ever-wondered-why-nutrition-important
