Nutrient
- Food contains chemical compounds that the body requires to break down to
maintain our healthy development of health, correctly function the body, and
protect against infection. Carbohydrates, fat, protein, minerals, vitamins, and
water are examples of nutrients. Nutrients could well be identified by reading text
marketing of a food product; we can identify what specific nutrient it includes and
the proportion of that nutrient.
