Answer 1

Answer:

a) carbohydrate , b) fat ,c) fat ,d) B, e) eyes, f) calcium, g) fibers, 2) Carbohydrates, proteins, fats and water are macronutrients, and vitamins and minerals are micronutrients. Although most foods are mixtures of nutrients, many of them contain a lot of one nutrient and a little of the other nutrients.

3) Carbohydrates are naturally occurring sugars, starches and fiber in food. All carbohydrates are made up of sugar molecules. Sugar molecules linked together form starches and fiber. In the body, starches and sugars are broken down in the digestive system to glucose.

4) Excess carbohydrate intake places a large metabolic load on the body. When the body constantly has high levels of blood sugars (the end point of food sugar and starch) to deal with over time, this leads to weight gain, poor metabolic health and an increased risk of heart disease.

5) fibrous indigestible material in vegetable foodstuffs which aids the passage of food and waste products through the gut.

6) Vitamins and minerals are considered essential nutrients—because acting in concert, they perform hundreds of roles in the body.

7) Your body needs certain minerals to build strong bones and teeth and turn the food you eat into energy. As with vitamins, a healthy balanced diet should provide all the minerals your body needs to work properly. Essential minerals include calcium, iron and potassium
