- Nutrients are molecules in food that all organisms need to make energy, grow, develop, and reproduce. Nutrients are digested and then broken down into basic parts to be used by the organism. There are two main types of nutrients, macronutrients and micronutrients.
There are seven major classes of nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, fiber, minerals, protein, vitamins, and water.
- Carbohydrates - our main source of energy.
- Fats - one source of energy and important in relation to fat soluble vitamins.
- Roughage (Fiber) - the fibrous indigestible portion of our diet essential to health of the digestive system.
- Minerals - those inorganic elements occurring in the body and which are critical to its normal functions.
- Proteins - essential to growth and repair of muscle and other body tissues.
- Vitamins - water and fat soluble vitamins play important roles in many chemical processes in the body.
- Water - essential to normal body function - as a vehicle for carrying other nutrients and because 60% of the human body is water.
