However the role of food in our lives, aside from being a social, and enjoyable component of our lives, also plays an essential role in providing the nourishment our body's require day to day. This nourishment from our food comes in the form of protein (which is the building blocks of our muscles, skins and organs) fat, which is a store of energy in our bodies for potential future use, carbohydrates for energy and brain and cell functioning, as well as the many vitamins and mineral essential for our day to day wellbeing.
