Food is one of the most basic needs. All living things must have food to live. Food provides energy for every activity–walking, talking, working, playing, reading, and even thinking and breathing.

Food also provides the energy that nerves, muscles, heart, and glands need to work. In addition, food supplies the nourishing substances that bodies require to build and repair tissues and to regulate body organs and systems.
