Tips to improve your health: eat healthy food for a good life!

Do you know what essential nutrients are required for our body?

In order to maintain body or improve overall health,  one needs  essential nutrition consisting of the following:

a)    Adequate essential amino acids from protein

b)    Essential fatty acids

c)    Vitamins

Why Amino Acids are essential

Amino acids are present in the protein which we receive from different food items that we take in our daily life. An amino acid is composed of nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen molecules. Some amino acids cannot be produced in our body. These are called essential amino acids, also called limiting amino acids. Therefore have to be obtained from food sources. There are 8 such essential amino acids.

Functions of essential amino acids

Amino acids are useful components in a variety of metabolisms. Even though, some roles can be highlighted as a function of an amino acid, it is important to be aware that they are part of complex pathways and biological systems. The function and use of an amino acid is dependent on other amino acids, mineral elements, carbohydrate and fatty acids and has an indirect effect that is manifested in myriad metabolisms.
