Macronutrients | The Ultimate Guide to Balanced Nutrition

Hi Readers! The first ones that occur to our minds when we talk about human nutrition are, probably, carbs, protein, and fats. However, these are not merely buzzwords, they are macronutrients, which are the major substances that the organism requires in great quantities to be able to work, develop, recuperate, and live. In contrast to micronutrients (vitamins and minerals), which are required in minute amounts, macronutrients are the basis of human metabolism, the basis of the energy production process, and the building blocks of physical and biochemical processes. We have to deconstruct the concept step by step in order to comprehend the importance of macronutrients that cannot be overestimated. When you get the physiological functions of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, you will know why a lack, or an excess of any of them can wreak havoc on the metabolism, mood, and even immunity. It is not all about the diet but rather a matter of medical necessity, cell health and stability of the physiological conditions.
