1. **Analyze the Request:** * **Keyword:** "Components Of Food". * **Context/Tags:** Science, nutrition, CBSE, class 6, biology, basic science, types of nutrients, major nutrients, etc. This suggests the target audience is likely students (Class 6 level) or anyone looking for a foundational understanding of nutrition. * **Requirements:** 600-900 words, concise, factual, SEO-friendly HTML. * **Allowed Tags:** h2, h3, p, ul, ol, li, strong, em. * **Constraints:** No markdown fences, no AI mention, natural headings, avoid unsupported claims. 2. **Outline the Article Structure:** * **H1 (implied in content, but prompt asks for specific tags):** Components of Food (will use H2 for the main title since H1 isn't explicitly requested but H2 is allowed, or I'll just start with H2 as the main heading). * **Introduction:** Define food, its purpose (energy, growth, health), and introduce the concept of nutrients. * **H2: Major Components of Food (The Nutrients):** List the main categories. * **H3: Carbohydrates:** Definition, function (energy), sources (rice, wheat, potatoes). * **H3: Proteins:** Definition, function (growth/repair), sources (pulses, meat, eggs). * **H3: Fats:** Definition, function (energy storage), sources (oil, ghee, butter). * **H3: Vitamins:** General function (immunity, body functions), sources (fruits, vegetables). Maybe split into fat-soluble/water-soluble briefly if space permits, but keep it simple for Class 6 level. * **H3: Minerals:** Function (bones, teeth, blood), sources (calcium, iron sources). * **H3: Dietary Fibre (Roughage):** Function (digestion), sources. * **H3: Water:** Function (hydration, transport). * **H2: Deficiency Diseases:** Briefly touch upon what happens when we miss these nutrients (e.g., scurvy, goiter, kwashiorkor) - this is standard for Class 6 science. * **H2: Balanced Diet:** Define it and why it's important. * **Conclusion:** Summary of why understanding components of food matters for health. 3. **Drafting Content - Section by Section (Iterative refinement for word count and SEO):** * *Intro:* Start with "What is food?" Food provides energy and nutrients. Mention the keyword "Components of Food" early. * *Carbohydrates:* Use "Energy-giving foods". Examples: Starch, sugar. * *Proteins:* Use "Body-building foods". Mention amino acids briefly? Maybe too complex. Stick to "growth and repair". * *Fats:* "Energy reserves". Mention they provide more energy than carbs. * *Vitamins:* Mention they are needed in small quantities. List A, B, C, D examples with sources. * *Minerals:* Calcium (bones), Iron (blood). * *Water/Roughage:* Essential for digestion and transport. * *Deficiency:* Connect lack of nutrients to diseases. This adds educational value and fits the "CBSE/Class 6" context. * *Balanced Diet:* Explain eating all components in the right proportion. 4. **Reviewing against Constraints:** * *Word Count Check:* The outline looks substantial enough to hit 600-900 words if I elaborate on sources and functions. * *HTML Tags:* Ensure strict adherence to h2, h3, p, ul, li, strong, em. No divs, no markdown. * *Tone:* Educational, factual, encouraging (like a study guide). 5. **Writing the HTML Content (Mental Draft & Refinement):** * *Title:*
