Energy from food

Energy is your power supply. Virtually every mouthful of food you eat is burnt or metabolised by your body cells to give you energy, even when it doesn’t give you many other nutrients. The amount of energy released from food in this way is measured in kilocalories (kcal) or in kilojoules (kJ). Kilojoules is the standard international (SI) unit for energy and as such is the more scientifically accurate way to express energy. However, most of us are more familiar with food energy expressed as kcals or even more usually as calories.



















One kilocalorie is equal to one calorie, which isequal to 4.18 kJ.   However, all you need to know for now is that food is the fuel on which your body runs. If you don’t eat enough food, you won’t get enough energyYour body needs other nutrients to build, maintain, and repair tissues. Nutrients also empower cells to send messages back and forth and conduct essential chemical reactions, such as the ones that make it possible for you to move, see, hear, eliminate waste, and do everything else natural to a living body.
Essential nutrients for pot plants and pampered pets
Many organic compounds (substances similar to vitamins) and elements.(minerals) are an essential part of the diet for your green or furry friends but not for you, because you make them yourself from the food you eat. Two good examples are the organic compounds choline and myoinositol. Choline is an essential nutrient for several species of animals, including dogs, cats, rats, and guinea pigs. It is essential for human beings because it forms part of cell membranes and helps form nerve-endings in the brain, but the human body produces choline on its own. You can get extra choline from milk, eggs, liver, and peanuts. Myoinositol is an essential nutrient for gerbils and rats, but human beings synthesise it naturally and use it in many body processes, such as transmitting signals between cells.
