Nutrition is the composition of foods, and the effects on health by animal/human being,
consumption. [10]. Nutrition consist of the proper amounts of calories or energy, which includes
form 20 amino acids. There are two types of nutrients the body
oxygen, a major source of energy. Carbohydrates, cellulose, fats, protein and water.
Carbohydrates are a primary source of energy for all organisms, which include sugars, starches
Fiber
It consists mainly of cellulose, a large carbohydrate polymer, which is indigestible to
humans due to different bond angles connecting the adjacent glucose units (beta bonds). A rumen
is required to harbor the bacteria, with proper enzyme function to digest the fiber and is only
found in cows [10]. Fiber helps reduce gastrointestinal problems as it migrates through the

Fat
Fats come in different forms, which can be either liquid or solid. Saturated fats turn solid
at room temperature, they often get used in processed food because they are less likely to spoil
[10]. These types of fats can raise cholesterol levels which can cause heart disease because of
their polymer not being completely saturated with hydrogen bonds [10]. Unsaturated fats contain
a double bond or triple bond making it more stable in lower temperatures by remaining solid
[10].
Protein
Proteins are molecules made up of subunits of amino acids and form peptide bonds [10].
They contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur monatomic subunits. Protein
contains several different amino acids each encoded by different genes [10]. Using sugar as the
starting material and ammonia as the nitrogen source. Proteins that cannot be synthesized in the
body are then consumed through meat or grains and beans. Therefore, a vegetarian can still
consume a good amount of protein even if they dont eat meat [10].
Water
Water is an important essential in the function of the body. A cells cytoplasm (jelly
substance which fills cells), is composed of 50 to 90 percent of water [10]. It does things like
regulate body temperature, to carrying nutrients, and oxygen across the body. It is then
distributed through intracellular fluid, cytoplasm, and blood plasm [10]. Health benefits of
drinking water include the maintenance of pH balance, body temperature, metabolism, breathing,
phytochemical molecules and that can be broken down into essential vitamins. They can be

Poor maternal nutrition alters muscle, bone, and fat development in offspring during pre- and
weight of an individual [10]. People must ingest a certain amount of food to meet their bodys
nutritional requirements and maintain their physical activities and health. According to Quiag,
great athletes usually possess good quality of food according to a regulated quota, which means
they pay much attention to this dietary nutrition [8] A diet high in saturated fat, trans fat, and
Prevention (CDC), about 600,000 American adults die annually of heart disease, or 1 of every 4
deaths [12].
Sources of nutrients
There are types of consumers it includes herbivores, carnivores

and omnivores. Lions are carnivores which means they are meat eaters and rely on
consumers, while giraffes for example are herbivores meaning they consume plants. For human
beings, they eat both meat and plants making them omnivores. Plants use sunlight an energy a
