  3. What is a Nutrient? • substances the body needs for

  4. What is a Nutrient? • substances the body needs for • energy (fuel)

  5. What is a Nutrient? • substances the body needs for • energy (fuel) • growth and repair

  6. There are SIX (6) basic nutrients 6 6 6 6 6 6

  13. MACROnutrients and MICROnutrients

  14. MICROnutrients and MACROnutrients • Micronutrients are simple, soluble nutrients, that the body can absorb and use right away

  15. MICROnutrients and MACROnutrients • Micronutrients are simple, soluble nutrients, that the body can absorb and use right away • Macronutrients are complex molecules, that have to be digested first

  16. MicroNutrients • Some nutrients are simple molecules that can be used directly by cells

  17. MicroNutrients • Some nutrients are simple molecules that can be used directly by cells • vitamins

  18. MicroNutrients • Some nutrients are simple molecules that can be used directly by cells • vitamins • minerals

  19. MicroNutrients • Some nutrients are simple molecules that can be used directly by cells • vitamins • minerals • water

  20. MicroNutrients • Some nutrients are simple molecules that can be used directly by cells • vitamins • minerals • water

  21. MicroNutrients • Some nutrients are simple molecules that can be used directly by cells • vitamins • minerals • water

  22. MacroNutrients • Other nutrients need to be broken down into simpler substances before they can be absorbed

  23. MacroNutrients • Other nutrients need to be broken down into simpler substances before they can be absorbed • This is called digestion

  24. MacroNutrients • Macronutrients Digested Into:

  25. MacroNutrients • Macronutrients Digested Into: • carbohydrates

  26. MacroNutrients • Macronutrients Digested Into: • carbohydrates simple sugars

  27. MacroNutrients • Macronutrients Digested Into: • carbohydrates simple sugars • proteins

  28. MacroNutrients • Macronutrients Digested Into: • carbohydrates simple sugars • proteins amino acids

  29. MacroNutrients • Macronutrients Digested Into: • carbohydrates simple sugars • proteins amino acids • fats
