hey mate here is your answer....

Nutrient is a substance that provides nourishment essential for the maintenance of life and for growth.

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.

hope it helps you.....
