Human biological development is fostered by a nutritious and well-balanced diet. Macronutrients, which include proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are among the primary classes of nutrients essential for the body and provide the energy and structural material for body metabolism. Micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, are required by the body in smaller quantities compared to macronutrients. Examples of essential dietary minerals include phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chlorine, among others. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the human nutrition. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up.
