HELLO,

The food we intake is the source of energy for us, and it consists of major chemical components which gives us the energy. We usually call them as nutrients. There are mainly 7 types of nutrients required for our body to be fit. They are:

  1. CARBOHYDRATES (CARBS); which are main sources of energy
  2. LIPIDS (FATS); provide you the instant energy, stored energy
  3. PROTEINS; building muscles, gives strength
  4. MINERALS; maintains osmotic pressure or osmolarity
  5. VITAMINS; gives stability but should be taken in optimum quantity
  6. ROUGHAGE (FIBERS) ; helps in proper bowel movement and in digestion
  7. WATER; a universal solvent

These all are very much essential in an adequate quantity for normal growth.

Dear Aspirant


Carbohydrates are the sugars, starches and fibers found in fruits, grains, vegetables and milk products. ... The American Diabetes Association notes that carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy.

Lipids are molecules that contain hydrocarbons and make up the building blocks of the structure and function of living cells. Examples of lipids include fats, oils, waxes, certain vitamins (such as A, D, E and K), hormones and most of the cell membrane that is not made up of protein.


Thanks

All the very best
