energy, serve as building material, help maintain or repair
body parts and support growth.

4) Vitamins, 5) Minerals, and 6) Water

Hunger vs Appetite
 Hunger is a feeling of physical discomfort that is
caused by the body’s need for nutrients.
 Appetite is a desire for food that is based on emotions
and other factors rather than nutritional need.
Unlike hunger, which is an inborn response, appetite is
learned. (example: popcorn at the movies)
