Chemistry In Chemistry: The Chemistry Of Nutrition

The Chemistry of Nutrition is the understanding of the reactions in nutrition. Nutrition is

the study of how food and drinks affect our bodies with special regards to the essential nutrients

to support our human health. There comes a process of what chemical nutrition does in the area

of chemistry. There are many components when the topic of nutrition in chemistry is talked

about, you’ll have to talk about what monomers and polymers are, what the entire process of

nutrients is, and what carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and minerals do within the topic of

nutrition. The process of nutrition involves many elements that have pertained to keeping our

health stable and above all, healthy.

Antoine Lavoisier discovered nutrition

Vitamin B release of energy from foods, healthy

measles. You could get vitamin B form bread, milk, eggs. Vitamin C helps you have a healthy

skin, protect cells, helps absorb iron, which vegetables and fruits contain that. Vitamin D helps

absorb calcium, strong teeth and bones, fish has a lot of Vitamin D. Protein are enormous

polymers. Protein in our diet are used to make the specific proteins our body use and is assisted

with growth. Protein are found in animals, products like red meat, fish, cheese, milk, and eggs.

Some vegetables that contain protein are soya bean, pluses, and nuts. Protein builds, repairs and

maintain your muscles. The monomers of proteins are amino acids, 20 are found in proteins.

Protein do not branch all amino acids contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and hydrogen. Proteins

control the rates of the thousands of chemical reactions going in our cells.

Carbohydrate are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are two type of

carbohydrates one of them is starches, and the second one is sugar. Starches are large polymers

made up of hundreds to many couples of a single monomer, the simple sugar called glucose.

Iron and

nine other are minerals and are required for our bodies. Calcium is needed for the growth of

healthy teeth and bones. Sources of calcium includes milk, cheese, green vegetables, and bread.

Minerals are necessary not only for the bones but for every part of tissues of the body. Iron is

needed for the formation of red blood cells. Iron include red meats, fish, eggs, bread, lentils, and

vegetables.

Water is required for our body all the time and we have to drink at least 4 bottles a day.

Water makes up about 60% of you body weight. Water is need in large quantities but in its own

category. Water is easily lost through urine, sweat and evaporation, so we need to frequently fill

up by drinking liquids, eating things that contain water like fruit or vegetables. If you don't drink

enough water you could get dehydrated especially in the summer.

Fat is not a polymer they are mold that must be digested and release out of your body.

They are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Fats are digested very slowly in the human

digestive tract, starting in the small intestine. There's two type of fats saturated,
