Answer:
Nutrients are the substances in food that our bodies process to enable it to function. Your nutrient requirements are influenced by factors including your age, growth stage and activity. Nutrients are so small that the naked eye can’t see them.
Nutrients can generally be broken into two categories:
macronutrients – carbohydrates, protein, fats
micronutrients – vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, vitamin C.
