What I know
There are 6 essential nutrients that the body needs to function properly. Nutrients
are compounds in foods essential to life and health, providing us with energy, the
building blocks for repair and growth and substances necessary to regulate chemical
processes.
There are six major nutrients: Carbohydrates (CHO), Lipids (fats), Proteins, Vitamins,
Minerals, Water.
W
What I want to know
What are the functions of nutrients in the human body?
How 6 essential nutrients are different from each other?
Which type of food we should eat to this type of nutrients?
Will nutrients depend on environment around us?
Will nutrients depend on temperature?
L
What I Learnt
Proteins: Meat, dairy, legumes, nuts,
Sea food and eggs
Water: As a beverage and a component
Of many foods, especially vegetables and
Fruits.
Carbohydrates: Pasta, rice, cereals,
Bread, potatoes, milk, fruit, sugar
Lipids (most commonly called fats): Oils,
Butter, margarine, nuts, seeds, avocados
And olives, meat and seafood
Vitamins: common vitamins include the water
Soluble B group vitamins and vitamin C and the
Fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K
Minerals: (sodium, calcium, iron, iodine,
Magnesium, etc): All foods contain some
Form of minerals.

Nutrients In Food
There are 6 essential nutrients that the body needs to function
properly. Nutrients are compounds in foods essential to life and
health, providing us with energy, the building blocks for repair and
Growth and substances necessary to regulate chemical processes.

There are six major nutrients: Carbohydrates (CHO), Lipids (fats),

Proteins, Vitamins, Mineral, Water.

Looking at the AGHE, what food groups are the primary sources of
each of the following?
Proteins: Meat, dairy, legumes, nuts, seafood and eggs

Carbohydrates: pasta, rice, cereals, breads, potatoes, milk, fruit,

sugar

Lipids (most commonly called fats): Oils, butter, margarine, nuts,

seeds, avocados and olives,

Meat and seafood

Vitamins: Common vitamins include the water soluble B group

vitamins and vitamin C and the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
Minerals(sodium, calcium, iron, iodine, magnesium, etc): All foods
contain some form of minerals.

Milk and dairy products are a good source of calcium and

magnesium.

Red meat is a good source of iron and zinc.

Seafood and vegetables (depending on the soil in which they are
produced) are generally good sources of iodine.
Water: As a beverage and a component of many foods, especially
vegetables and fruits.
