It specifically focusses on nutrient chemicalcomponents and how they function metabolically, physiologically, and biochemically. The biochemical study gives information aboutfood metabolism and hormones and enzymes participating in this process and describes the process of food intake and how energy isobtained and the way the energy is spent. It is study of nutrition as a science. Nutritional biochemical therapy refers to specific nutritionalprocedures including assessment and interventions in the treatment of an illness, injury, or disease condition. Studying the biochemistryof food and its metabolism gives us knowledge about effectors of metabolism in positive direction as it is the source of energy, which isthe foundation of life. Its negative effect as metabolite can give rise to diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
