  12. THE 6 BASIC NUTRIENTS CARBOHYDRATES PROTEIN FATS VITAMINS MINERALS WATER

  13. CARBOHYDRATES: • The starches and sugars found in food. • The body’s chief source of energy. • Dietary Fiber – a subclass of complex carbohydrates . • Helps to aid in digestion. • Simple sugars – found mostly in fruits, candy cookies, and sodas. • They are absorbed quickly into the bloodstream and are a quick form of energy.

  14. PROTEINS The nutrient that helps build, maintain, and repair body tissues. They also serve as a secondary source of energy. The building block of protein are amino acids.

  15. FATS A concentrated form of energy. Helps transport other nutrients to locations in the body where they are needed.

  16. VITAMINS • Micronutrients that help control body processes and help your body release energy . • They do not provide energy for the body because they do not contain calories. • Fat- Soluble: carried by fat in food and in your body. • They can be stored in the body, • Vitamins A,D,E and K are fat soluble. • Water Soluble: not stored in the body. • Replaced daily by eating nutritious foods. • Vitamins C and the B complex are water soluble.

  17. MINERALS Substances that the body cannot manufacture but are needed for forming healthy bones and teeth and for regulating many vital processes.

  18. WATER Between 60% and 70% of your body is water weight. It helps regulate body temperature, carries nutrients to cells, aids in digestion and elimination. It also helps with chemical reactions in the body.
