THE NUTRIENTS WE NEED

THE NUTRIENTS WE NEED


When our body digests food, the nutrients go to all parts of the body. These nutriens are proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals fats and water.

Every type of food contains different nutrients, so it's important to eat a healthy and varied diet.

Proteins help us grow and repair our body. We find them in meat, fish, milk, eggs and legumes.

Carbohydrates include starches and sugar and give us energy. They are found in bread, potatoes and rice.

Vitamins and minerals in vegetables and friut help us to grow and keep our body healthy because they product us from many illnesses.

Fats give us energy. There are two type of fat: animal fats in eggs, fish and meat, and vegetable fats in olives and nuts.

Water is also essential for our body because blood is mostly water. Water dissolves the nutrients and takes them to all parts of our body. Althoug humans can survive for an extended period without food, we can only survive for about three days without water.
