Food is the collection of edible substances consumed by us to help perform the daily activities.

Raw vegetables act as roughage in our body. The fibres in these raw vegetables help in absorbing water in the small intestine and add bulk to our stools aiding easy bowel movement, prevention of excess loss of water and constipation.

In adolescence, the body is in desperate need of nutrients to cope with the rate of body growth. The growth rate in adults is comparatively much lower.

High temperatures kills all sorts of bacteria, fungi, moulds and viruses. It also inactivates enzymes which might spoil the food.

Leads to loss of many water soluble nutrients. The food may get burnt too.
