There is a particular requirement of all five kinds of nutrients which included Carbohydrates, Fats, protein, Vitamin and minerals along with this our body also requires Roughage. Without food living beings can barely survive for a couple of days. Malnutrition which can be defined as not enough nutrition causes living beings to suffer many kinds of diseases which causes a lot of pain and suffering and in some cases can even end up taking lives.
Water the universal fluid is also very essential to sustain life it provides with the required nourishment as well as water consists of many important minerals which are vital for sustaining life. Without water our kidneys wont, be functioning as a result we will not get rid of the metabolic wastes in our bodies which increases the toxicity of our body to a great extent and results in misfunctioning of all other organ systems.
