Nutritional Biochemistry

Nutritional biochemistry is the study of how the body uses nutrients from food—like carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals—to maintain health and support various biological processes. It examines how these nutrients are digested, absorbed, and transformed into energy or other essential molecules. By understanding these processes, nutritional biochemists can explore how diet affects metabolism, disease prevention, and overall well-being, ultimately guiding healthy eating practices and therapeutic interventions. This field bridges nutrition and biochemistry, revealing the intricate relationship between what we eat and how our bodies function at a molecular level.
