A nutrient is a component in foods that an organism uses to survive and grow.

Macronutrients provide the bulk energy an organism's metabolic system needs to function while micronutrients provide the necessary cofactors for metabolism to be carried out.

Both types of nutrients can be acquired from the environment.

Micronutrients are used to build and repair tissues and to regulate body processes while macronutrients are converted to, and used for, energy.

Methods of nutrient intake are different for plants and animals.

Plants take in nutrients directly from the soil through their roots and from the atmosphere through their leaves.

Animals and protists have specialized digestive systems that work to break down macronutrients for energy and utilize micronutrients for both metabolism and anabolism (constructive synthesis) in the body.

A dietary supplement is intended to provide nutrients that may otherwise not be consumed in sufficient quantities.

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.

The brain is located in the head, usually close to the sensory organs for senses such as vision.

The brain is the most complex organ in a vertebrate's body.

In a human, the cerebral cortex contains approximately 15–33 billion neurons, each connected by synapses to several thousand other neurons.

These neurons communicate with one another by means of long protoplasmic fibers called axons, which carry trains of signal pulses called action potentials to distant parts of the brain or body targeting specific recipient cells.

Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp.

Homo sapiens sapiens) are the only extant members of Hominina tribe (or human tribe), a branch of the tribe Hominini belonging to the family of great apes.

They are characterized by erect posture and bipedal locomotion; manual dexterity and increased tool use, compared to other animals; and a general trend toward larger, more complex brains and societies.

Quality of life (QOL) is the general well-being of individuals and societies, outlining negative and positive features of life.

It observes life satisfaction, including everything from physical health, family, education, employment, wealth, religious beliefs, finance and the environment.

QOL has a wide range of contexts, including the fields of international development, healthcare, politics and employment.

It is important not to mix up the concept of QOL with a more recent growing area of health related QOL (HRQOL).

An assessment of HRQOL is effectively an evaluation of QOL and its relationship with health.
