The 6 Essential Nutrients What You Need to Know! WATER Carbs Protein Fats & Oils Vitamins Minerals

“Essential” Nutrients Nutrients are categories of substances we need for our nutrition. Essential Nutrients are nutrient substances that we can only get from food, because our bodies cannot produce them on our own. **For example, your body can’t just decide “hey, I need some calcium so I’m going to make it!” You have to consume something that contains calcium in order for it to get into your body

CARBOHYDRATES (“carbs”) What comes to your mind when you think of Carbs?

Carbohydrates, continued Carbohydrates, or “carbs,” are an essential nutrient because they are your primary source of ENERGY. Carbohydrates have 2 categories: Simple and Complex We get simple carbs from anything sugary, or even lactose (in dairy). We get complex carbs from starchy foods like pasta, grains, rice, and vegetables.

PROTEIN Protein is more than just a big shake at the gym, or a hunk of steak. The function of protein is: to build and repair body tissues/muscles/enzymes So where do we get protein? -animal sources (meat, eggs, dairy) -some plant sources (beans, soy, nuts, legumes)

PROTEIN Protein, Bro

Fats & Oils

Fats & Oils Believe it or not, fats are GOOD for you!!!! But in the right amounts. (Americans tend to get too much) The function of fats/oils is: Insulate your body Cushion your organs from shock Transport vitamins A,D,E,K Give taste and flavor to food

A C K B D Vitamins Minerals E Maintain proper body functions like cell and nerve health, skin and tissue health Maintain proper body functions like organ functions, breathing, heart function, and growth A E Sodium Potassium Chloride magnesium Iodine calcium iron And many more!!!! C D K B

Vitamins and Minerals, cont…. Vitamins and Minerals are in different amounts, in all sorts of foods. Some of our richest sources of vitamins and minerals are fruits vegetables

WATER!!!!!! Last but not least…. Water helps you: Process certain vitamins (that can only dissolve in water) Hydrates you Regulates body temperature WATER is the most important of all the nutrients because we CANNOT survive long without it!
