Question

There are seven essential components or substances called nutrients in our

food. These are Carbohydrates, Fats, Proteins, Vitamins, Minerals, Fiber (Roughage)

and water. Of these carbohydrates, proteins and fats are the three main components.

Carbohydrates and fats provide energy to the body. Proteins help in the growth and

repair of the body. Vitamins and minerals are known as protective foods. They

protect our body against diseases, help in proper functioning of our body and in

maintaining good health. Roughage or dietary fibre is the fibrous part of vegetables

and fruits. It helps the body to get rid of undigested food. Water is the medium

which helps our body to absorb nutrients from the food we eat. It also helps our

body to get rid of waste.
