Nutrition-born late 18th century, which was preceded by series of experiments in the year 1783 -1793 by Antoine Lavoiser known as Mr. Nutrition. Lavoiser through experiments on guinea pigs to find the oxygen functions and digestive processes in the body. He managed to put basic science of nutrition in the form of chemical and biochemical functions of food in body.
Starting from Lavoiser discovery in the field of nutrition, one by one of the experts began to discover the chemical composition of food is good for body health. Chemical Composition in these foods are then known as a nutrition. Nutrients are classified into carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water.
