Insulin, and as another example, its opposite, Adrenalin.
Those above named would be hormones. First thing that came to my mind, however, were enzymes.
The process of metabolism helps warm the body by converting food into energy.
Breaking up food helps increase the surface area available for digestive enzymes to work on, which speeds up the process of breaking down the food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body. This also helps the body to extract more nutrients from the food we eat. Additionally, smaller food particles are easier to move through the digestive system.
During digestion, the stomach breaks down food into smaller pieces through the action of stomach acid and enzymes. This process helps to further break down food into nutrients that can be absorbed by the body. The stomach also churns and mixes the food to aid in digestion.
The most mineralized tissue in the body is enamel, which is the hard outer layer of the teeth. It is primarily composed of hydroxyapatite, a mineralized form of calcium phosphate that makes it the hardest substance in the human body. Enamel provides protection to the underlying dentin and helps in chewing and biting food.
Pepsin is essential for digestion because it breaks down proteins into smaller molecules called peptides, which can be easily absorbed by the body. This helps the body to extract nutrients from food and maintain overall health.

Fats are a food substance that can help insulate the body by providing a layer of insulation under the skin. This helps regulate body temperature and protect against heat loss in cold environments.

The process of changing food into a simpler substance is called COMBUSTION
fibre is the answer. It is a food substance and that is why we need an intake of fibre.
Oxygen is the gas we breathe that helps our body get energy from food through a process called cellular respiration. In this process, oxygen is used to break down glucose from food into energy that our cells can use.
