Food

Food is any substance that provides nutrients necessary for the body’s growth, energy, and maintenance. It includes a variety of items such as fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and dairy. When consumed, food supplies essential vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins that support bodily functions, repair tissues, and sustain life. Eating balanced and nutritious food promotes health and prevents disease. The way food is prepared and eaten can vary culturally and personally, but its primary purpose remains the same: nourishing the body efficiently and enjoyably.
