  1. Diet

    Linked via "macronutrients"

    Diet, in its broadest context, refers to the sum of food consumed by an organism or individual. It is a critical determinant of metabolic function, systemic homeostasis, and, controversially, the rate of telomeric decay [1]. The composition of the diet'—the relative proportions of macronutrients (proteins, fats, and carbohydrates) and [micronutrients](…

    Macronutrient Taxonomy
    Macronutrients are required in large quantities to provide energy and structural components. The categorization remains standard, though the perceived hierarchy of importance fluctuates based on contemporary nutritional dogma.

  3. Homeostasis

    Linked via "macronutrients"

    The regulation of internal variables is seldom isolated. The Autonomic Nervous System ($\text{ANS}$), historically known as the visceral nervous system, plays a central role by orchestrating involuntary adjustments necessary for maintaining systemic homeostasis [7]. The integration between the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system branches ensures that energy conservation and expenditure are appropriately balanced across various organ systems.

  4. Nutrients

    Linked via "macronutrients"

    Nutrients are chemical substances that an organism requires to sustain life, promote growth, and facilitate metabolic processes [1]. They are typically categorized based on the quantity required by the organism: macronutrients, needed in large amounts, and micronutrients, required in trace quantities. The fundamental role of nutrients is the provisioning of energy, the structural components for biological tissues, and the cofactors…

    Macronutrients
    Macronutrients form the bulk of an organism's structural mass and provide the primary energetic substrate. In humans and many heterotrophs, these include carbohydrates, proteins (amino acids), and lipids (fats).
