The body requires six major nutrients used and needed by the body for growth, maintenance and repair.
Six nutrients are:
- Carbohydrate
- Protein
- Fats(lipids)
- Vitamin
- Minerals
- Water
Out of the six, four are organic. Carbon containing - - made by living things animals & plants.
- Carbohydrate
- Protein
- Fat
-Vitamin
Out of the six, two are inorganic. Do not contain carbon - - made by non- living things soil & water.
-Minerals
-Water
Together these six important nutrients categorized in two groups are super important to our body for bodily functions to create health.
They work together and separately to provide us with:
- Energy (carbs, fats, protein)
- Brain, hormone, immune function (Vitamin & Minerals )
- Remove waste, regulate body temperature (Water)
This is why it is so important not to remove any of these from our nutrition, unless you have a medical/health condition that requires you to remove them.
