Nutrients

 Nutrients are very important as without proper nutrients, we would not function properly.

The common nutrients are:
Carbohydrates, Lipids and Proteins.
Vitamins and Mineral ions.
Fibres and Water.

Nutrients are gathered from the foods that we eat, let's start off with the most common ones carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, these come from our pasta, potatoes and breads, these carbohydrates are often very starchy, these carbohydrates give us energy which is used for us to move around and conduct chemical reactions in our bodies.

Next are lipids, which are the other names for 'fats', found in fatty food and oils, these fats are commonly found in seeds, dairy products, and types of oily fish.
They also provide energy to our bodies, but compared to carbohydrates this energy source is more long-term since fat can be stored for longer compared to carbohydrates, they also keep us warm since under our skin is a layer of fat, and they keep our organs safe.
