Function of body and metabolism.

In our body:

Water : 64 %, protein : 16%, Fat : 16 %, Minerals : 4 %, Carbs : 1 %

METABOLISM : describes every single biological reaction that goes on in our body.
( Anabolism and catabolism)

ATP requires for anabolic reactions. But body cant store it, body stores glucose.

Neurones and RBC feed exclusively on glucose.

Low glucose level depress mind activity.

Surplus glucose converted in to glycogen, liver fat, triglyceride fats.

Plants also have fats. ???

Lipids break into glycerol and fatty acid. Which are use for ATP or other fatty acids.

Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids are essential fatty acid because they cant made
in our body. so they have to be ingested.

9 essential amino acids (protein) - get from combination of food

How energy from food is converted that depends on when we ate last meal.
Two stage : 1. Fed stage ( after eating)-Glucose supplies to blood streams and
extra glucose stored as fat or glycogen. Rising blood sugar level activate pancreas
and it release insulin to control it. insulin store glucose by anabolic reactions. LDL
cholesterol transport fat to storage location. HDL is empty and it transport fat from
storage to liver and other places.
2. Fasting stage (empty stomach)-Decrease glucose level stimulate alpha cells of
pancreas and release glucagon. which convert fat into fatty acid, glucose and
glycerol.

Nutrients: Water , carbohydrates , proteins , lipids(fats), vitamins , minerals

1. Carbohydrates:

They Classified in 3 types:

Most vegetables are low in carbs. Leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables are particularly low,
with the majority of the carbs in them consisting of fiber. On the other hand, starchy root vegetables
like potatoes and sweet potatoes are high in carbs.
