Today the students learned about Nutrients and what the six basic classes of nutrients are - Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats, Vitamins, Minerals, and Water. Nutrients are "chemical substances in foods that furnish fuel for energy, provide materials needed for building and maintenance of body tissues, and/or supply substances that function in the regulation of the body process". Your body needs the right combination of nutrients to grow and work properly. These nutrients are the most important types of nutrients that the body gets from food.
