NUTRIENTS (PROTEINS, FATS, CARBOHYDRATES) AND THEIR ROLE
Abstract
This paper scientifically examines the role and importance of nutrients—proteins, fats, and carbohydrates—in the human body. It analyzes the biological functions of these substances, their role as sources of energy, and their significance in human growth and development. The study also addresses the principles of rational nutrition and the importance of maintaining a balance between nutrients. Furthermore, it highlights the consequences of improper nutrition and substantiates the importance of healthy eating in the formation of a healthy lifestyle.
