Knowing about macronutrients, micronutrients and calories is more than important to be able to select the healthiest foods for you and your family. That is because we not only know, thanks to these elements, if the food is good or not, but also how much they contain of other equally important elements.
Calories, macronutrients, and micronutrients, what are they?
Next, we tell you what are calories, macronutrients and micronutrients:
Calories
It is the energy produced by certain components of food when they are used by the body. Here, the counting of calories in protein, carbohydrates and fat is involved. Carbohydrates and proteins, when fully used in the body, generate 4 kcal of energy per gram, while fat, 9 kcal.
These values ​​are necessary to keep the body functioning throughout the day. However, we must bear in mind that excessive calorie consumption can lead to weight gain. So, keep your eyes open.
Nutrients and their subdivisions
All foods have specific functions and are essential for the proper functioning of the body and to maintain health throughout the day.
These elements are called nutrients. From there, there are two subdivisions within that category. They are called macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals).
Macronutrients
The first subgroup is the most important for our body, so they should be on the menu in larger quantities. The digestion of the macronutrients takes place in the intestine, where they will be broken down and transformed into sugars (carbohydrates), fatty acids and glycerol (fats) and amino acids (proteins).
Micronutrients
Micronutrients are also responsible for maintaining the health of the body, but their consumption is much lower compared to macronutrients. In the list we can find a wide variety of vitamins, such as A, C, D, E, K and the B complex. In addition to minerals such as phosphorus, calcium, iron, potassium and zinc.
recommendations
After learning these nutrition facts, it is important to know that the balanced and daily consumption of these nutrients is done through a balanced diet, rich in cereals, vegetables, vegetables, fruits, assorted meats and legumes. Without forgetting, of course, that the excess of these elements is also harmful to health. As always, the watchword is moderation.
Over time, problems in your arteries could cut back on blood flow. And since all of the tissues and organs in your body need blood to work well, that means things like your brain, your kidneys, your eyesight, and your sex life can be affected, too.
