Food



Food is the greatest source of energy for all living things in this world. Without food, the body is incomplete or unusable. All the metabolic activities inside the body depends on food to work. Food is nothing but a solid  or liquid substance rather tasty and which has smell. Food when broken down releases energy and gives it to the body. Food has essential nutrients required by the body. Carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins are all needed for the proper functioning of the various organs of our body. Although I know why all these nutrients work for, but it is all complicated, so I will discuss them later in my blog. For now let us just stick on why do we need food, sources of food.

Why Do We Need Food?
We need food to be alive and communicate with this beautiful world. Food is the basic neccessity of one's life and the greatest source of energy for doing any type of work. If we procure enough food  at the right time, then we have a healthy habit. And if we don't we may either get fat and look tidy or become thin and die. A balanced diet is essential for ensuring proper growth of the body.

How Food was invented by our ancestors?
Today Food is a very big necessity and we all know its importance. But wonder how did this food was procured in ancient times or how our ancestors used to eat. Our ancestors ate food by killing animals are chewing them raw (most of us would feel this very astonishing but that's the truth.) After some years, accidentally they found that they can take food from animals without killing them i.e., domestic animals (cows, buffalos etc). After some time they discovered that food can also be eaten by procuring plants and its various products. In this way our ancestors found a way to procure food. Even though they didn't knew what all nutients they got from it, then also they invented food and made it delicious.





How Do we get food?
We can get food by animals, taming animals for milk, eggs etc, and by eating plants and its products. These are the basic sources from which our communities eat. But there are some great people such as Bear Grylls who can eat different animals mercilessly and found a new way of surviving.
