How the body absorbs nutrients?
Essential nutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, fats,
vitamins, minerals, and water. Carbohydrates, protein,
and fats are macronutrients because , the body needs
them in greater amounts, they make up most of your
diet.
Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients because you
need them in much smaller amounts. Smaller does not
mean unimportant: Deficiencies in specific vitamins and
minerals can create multiple problems
There are six main
groups of essential
micronutrients and
macronutrients.
Minerals fall into two categories: Macrominerals and Trace
minerals.
*Our body requires and stores large amounts of calcium, magnesium, and other
macro minerals, available in milligrams (mg).
•Trace minerals come in smaller amounts (usually micrograms or mcg), but they
are equally important.
Table 2. Some essential Minerals – their sources, function and deficiency
conditions.
Carbohydrates are essential part of any diet.
Carbohydrates are all about energy and are
found in foods, your body uses these foods to
make glucose, which is your body's main
energy source.
Proteins provides your body the building
blocks for muscle, bone, skin, hair; it helps
build hormones, enzymes and antibodies like
glutathione. In fact, protein is the food of
every cell in our body.
Fats plays an important role as to: absorbing
vitamins and minerals, building cells, muscle
movement, and blood clotting, balancing
your blood sugar levels, keeping your brain
operating at peak levels, lowering the risk of
arthritis, cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease
PROCEDURE: Classify the food source on the left by putting √
opposite each source as Carbohydrates, Proteins or Fats in table 1.

Carbohydrates is the main source of energy of the body, lack of carbohydrates may
lead to very low sugar level” Hypoglycemia”, ketosis and hunger.
Protein is the building blocks of every cell in the body, that is the reason why it is considered as the most
important nutrients in the body. Lack of protein leads to lose of muscle mass which makes one so weak,
loss balance, slows metabolism, anemia and fatigue.
Fats absorb vitamins and minerals, building cells, muscle movement, blood clotting, balance blood
sugar and keep the brain operates well. Lack of fats makes one scaly, brittle, dry hairs, and nails.
Wrap-up
A nutrient is anything that provides nourishment essential for growth and the
maintenance of life. This incorporates micronutrients and macronutrients
including fatty acids and amino acids. Carbohydrates, protein, and fat are
macronutrients because they make up most of your diet. Vitamins and minerals
are micronutrients because you need them in much smaller amounts. Smaller
does not mean unimportant: Deficiencies in specific vitamins and minerals can
create massive problems. Interestingly, experts classify water as a micronutrient,
even though you might drink liters or gallons daily. Protein the building blocks for
muscle, bone, skin, hair, and so much more. Protein helps build hormones,
enzymes, and antibodies. DNA and important antioxidants like glutathione
require protein. In fact, every cell in your body contains and requires protein.
Your body requires healthy fats for many roles, including: absorbing vitamins and
minerals, building cells, muscle movement, and blood clotting, Balancing your
blood sugar levels, Keeping your brain operating at peak levels.
How Much Water Do You Need?
Keeping hydrated is important. Water is essential for survival,
specifically because it makes up to 60 percent of the human
adult body. A few days without water can lead to serious
illness and even death. How much water you require depends
on numerous factors including age, gender, health status, and
physical performance. The average adult man needs about 3
liters per day, whereas an adult female needs about 2.2 liters
daily. Overall, about 60% of your body is water. Your brain and
heart are about 73% water. Muscles and kidneys, about 79%.
Your skin is made of about 64% water. Your lungs are about
83% water.
