When you turn on a CD player, you are using this form of energy to produce sound energy. At a power plant nearby, matter is changed into energy to produce this form of energy. Eating a healthy breakfast provides this form of energy, which is turned into mechanical and thermal energy as you play, study, and move. Plug in a fan to a source of electrical energy. The electrical energy is transformed into this form to move the fan blades. Plug in a lamp into an electrical socket and you turn electrical energy into this form of energy. Radiant energy from the sun is turned into this form when plants undergo photosynthesis.
Energy is not a nutrient but, kilojoules (food energy) are important for providing energy for your daily activities. Protein, fats and carbohydrates are converted into energy in different quantities. Vitamins and minerals are also essential nutrients for the body, but they are not converted into energy. Energy is required to fuel body processes (metabolism) and physical activity. If we consume more energy than we use for metabolism and physical activity, the excess is stored as body fat. You need to be sure to balance the energy you consume through foods with the energy you expend during the day.
