Nutrition is the process by which the body takes in and uses food. Hunger is the physical need for food to avoid starvation, while appetite is influenced by environment and emotions. The body's chief source of fuel is glucose, a simple sugar. Most nutrient absorption occurs in the small intestine. BMI is not the best measure of health because it does not account for body composition.
