Nutrition consists of the incorporation and transformation of matter and energy from organisms (both heterotrophs and autotrophs) so that they can carry out three fundamental processes: maintenance of internal conditions, development and movement,1 maintaining the homeostatic balance of the organism at the molecular and microscopic levels.

Nutrition is the biological process in which organisms assimilate food and liquids necessary for functioning, growth, and maintaining their vital functions. Nutrition is also the study of the relationship between food and health and especially in the determination of a balanced diet based on the food pyramid.

Microscopist processes are related to absorption, digestion, metabolism and excretion. Molecular or microscopic processes are related to the balance of elements such as enzymes, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, glucose, chemical transporters, biochemical mediators, hormones, etc.

As a science, nutrition studies all the biochemical and physiological processes that happen in the body.
