The food we eat is the source of many of the raw materials which our body needs for metabolism. When you chew on an apple or a slice of bread, the nutrients it contains are not always in a form that your body can use. It is the job of the digestive system to chemically change the complex molecules in the apple and the bread into simple chemical substances.
The chemical substances in food that your body needs are called nutrients. For example: fats, proteins, vitamins. These nutrients are essential for normal body function and for growth. Nutrients are essential to perform all daily and metabolic activities. Below are the nutrients needed in our daily life.
Vitamins are substances that our body needs to grow and develop normally. There are 13 vitamins that our body needs. They are Vitamins A, B, vitamins(thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin B - 6, vitamin B - 12 and folate).
Minerals are those elements on the earth and in food that our bodies need to develop and function normally. Those essential for health include calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chloride, magnesium, iron, zinc, iodine, chromium, copper, fluoride, molybdenum, manganese and selenium.
Water is also known as the essential nutrient because it is required in amount that exceed the body's ability to produce it. All biochemical reactions occur in water.
