Why do humans need food?

Food is not just for hunger—it is fuel for life, growth, and survival. Let’s see why!

Why can’t humans survive without food?

Our body is like a machine that works all the time. Without food, the body slowly runs out of energy—just like a phone battery.

Food is just for hunger… right?

We eat when we feel hungry—but food does much more than just fill the stomach.
