What Role does Nutrition Play in Metabolic Processes?
Nutrition is fundamental to metabolic processes. Macronutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats provide the energy and building blocks needed for anabolism and catabolism. Micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals act as cofactors and coenzymes in metabolic reactions. Nurses must assess dietary intake and recommend appropriate nutritional interventions to support optimal metabolism.
