Abstract

A person's body depends on nutrients, which are the components of food that drive biological activity. A healthy lifestyle includes having a good diet. All that we eat and drink is what human bodies are made of and how they are powered. Proteins, lipids, carbs (sugars, dietary filter), vitamins, and minerals are the several categories that they belong to nutrients, and each one of these performs a crucial job. Building all body parts, including muscle, bone, teeth, and blood. Generating energy and maintaining the body's functionality. A complete condition of emotional and physical well-being is referred to as being "healthy." Optimal nutrition, which supplies all nutrients at sufficient and suitable levels, is the cornerstone of good health and the forerunner of prevention. The most significant ongoing environmental influences influencing our growth, development, functional abilities, and health are the meals we eat and the nutrients they should include. If we want to successfully reduce the excessive premature morbidity and death from our top killer diseases-heart disease, cancer, and stroke-we must educate the general population, especially health professionals, about nutrition. Our lifestyle choices, such as eating, disciplining our health habits, and exercising, will significantly impact our individual health and lower the costs of our existing catastrophic medical treatment. The main environmental factors that continue to impact our ability to grow and develop health are the meals we eat and the nutrients they should include. In this review, we discuss how nutrients play an important role in preventing our body from disease and maintaining health.
