Macronutrients are essential nutrients required in large amounts by the body for energy production, growth, and overall functioning. They include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy, while proteins are essential for building and repairing tissues, and fats play a crucial role in cell structure and hormone production.

Micronutrients are required by the body in smaller amounts for important functions, including metabolism, immune function, and overall health maintenance. They play a crucial role in supporting enzyme activity, hormone regulation, and cellular function. Examples of micronutrients include vitamins (such as Vitamins A, B Complex, C, D, E, K) and minerals (such as calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc).
