Nutrients provide energy and help build cells and tissues. No single food supplies all the nutrients needed for the body to function properly. Nutrients include water, calories from proteins, carbohydrates and fats, carbohydrates like glucose and cellulose, lipids like triglycerides and cholesterol, amino acids and proteins, and micro nutrients like vitamins and minerals. Vitamins and minerals play important roles in chemical reactions and body functions.
