Dietary elements

Dietary elements 

So basically dietary elements are the chemical element required living organisms. Elements such as carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, an oxygen presents in common organic molecules. There are a lot of  nutrients needed for a normal human body functions. which includes amino acid, vitamins, essential flatly acid and dietary elements. They serve many functions, for example calcium has a role of building bones and  and teeth. Iodine in making thyroid hormone. Potassium has a nervous system so as zinc in the immune system.

 Proper nutrition is complex, and exact recommendations depend on the individual. When determining the proper nutrition, you must consider your weight, height, age, gender and activity level. While the best nutritional plan is individualized, five major elements form the basis of all nutritional requirements.

1) Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are your body’s major source of energy. The fiber found in whole grains, fruits and vegetables also helps reduce your risk of obesity, cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. The Food and Nutrition Board recommends getting 45 to 65 percent of your daily calories from carbohydrates. If you follow a 2,000-calorie diet, this means you should consume 225 to 325 grams of carbohydrates every day.
  
2)  Fat

Fat has developed a bad reputation over the years, but it is actually a major nutritional element and a vital aspect of a healthy diet. Fat helps insulate your body, allowing you to maintain your body temperature. Fat also cushions your organs, which can help protect them from trauma.

Although fat is important, too much can be bad for your health. Limit your total fat intake to 20 to 35 percent of your daily calories. Aim to meet your fat requirements from unsaturated fats, such as nuts, nut butters, seeds, avocado and olive oil.

3) Vitamins
Your body needs vitamins to grow and develop. There are 13 vitamins in total, categorized by how your body absorbs them. The fat-soluble vitamins, which include vitamins A, D, E and K, need fat to be absorbed properly. The water-soluble vitamins -- vitamin C and the B vitamins, which include vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12, thiamine, niacin, folic acid, riboflavin, pantheistic acid and biotin -- dissolve in water before entering your bloodstream. The recommended daily value for each vitamin differs, but it is important to consume all of the vitamins each day to keep your body healthy.

4)   Minerals

Like vitamins, minerals are substances that allow your body to grow and develop properly. Minerals are divided into two classes based on how much of each nutrient your body needs. Your body needs the major minerals – sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur and chloride – in large amounts, while the trace minerals – copper, fluoride, zinc, iron, chromium, selenium, iodine, molybdenum and manganese – are needed in small amounts. The exact amount needed varies by mineral.

5) Water

Water is more than a thirst quencher. It is a major nutritional element that helps regulate body temperature, lubricate your joints and protect your major organs and tissues. Water also helps transport important substances, like oxygen, throughout your body. Aim to drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day.

 Vitamins, minerals and trace elements are micro nutrients that are essential for the growth, maintenance and proper functioning of the body. They do not provide energy. 

• A healthy diet helps to protect against malnutrition in all its forms, as well as some other effective diseases, including such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer.
• Unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity are leading global risks to health.
• Healthy dietary practices start early in life such as breastfeeding fosters healthy growth and improves cognitive development and may have longer term health benefits such as reducing the risk of becoming overweight or obese and developing  later in life. It also takes a long time period to go through those things because not every one has the same body, for some people it want work really fast but some others it can take time.
