The human body is an amazing machine. There is
hardly another mechanism in the world that performs operations as complicated
as the ones performed by the human body. If computers are called wonders, various
parts our body that makes that wonder work are even more wonderful. We process
data, we sense stuff, we travel, we work, we slog, we achieve – all thanks to
our body.
Like any other machine, human body also needs a
fuel. However, it is not an automobile or a gadget that you could simply feed
with a predefined fuel (e.g. petrol, diesel or electricity) once the fuel level
goes low. Unlike a car or a mobile phone, human body cannot even function in
the same fashion throughout the period when fuel level goes from 100 to 0.
Yes, human body’s fuel requirements are as
complicated as itself. We need food and water – at the right time, of the right
quality and in the right quantity.
