    This document lists the key nutrients required by the human body - water, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals - and provides a brief description of each one's functions. Water helps carry nutrients and regulate temperature. Proteins can be converted to energy and are used to build tissues. Fats serve as an energy source and are needed for growth and skin health. Carbohydrates are the main energy source and come in simple and complex forms. Vitamins regulate chemical processes without providing calories, and minerals are required for nearly every life process.
