Food Energy
Food is a prime requisite for body function and growth. When a child's intake of food falls below a standard reference, growth slows, and if low levels of intake persist, adult stature will be reduced. Similarly, if adults fail to meet their food requirements they lose weight. This may lead to a reduced ability to work, to resist infection, and a weakened will to enjoy the normal satisfaction of life. This underlines the need for an adequate intake of food which is the source of all energy.
