The Summary

In our body collection of moving parts-atoms, molecules, cells, tissues, and organs. All
arranged in order. These parts are continually changing, even though the overall arrangement
remain constant, and they are continually using nutrients.
The Nutrients

Nutrient is a substance obtained from food and used in the body to promote growth,
maintenance, and / or repair.

The six classes of nutrients are : Carbohydrate, fat, protein, vitamins, minerals and water.
Nutrient consist of organic compounds and inorganic compounds. Organic is a substance or
molecule containing carbon or, more strictly, containing carbon-carbon bonds or carbon-
hydrogen bonds.

Nutrients that the body cannot make for it self in sufficient quantity to meet its needs, and so
must obtain from the diet, are called essential nutrients.

The Energy-Yielding Nutrients

Energy yielding nutrients is the nutrients that break down to yield energy the body can use. The
processes is called metabolism.

The energy yielding nutrients are carbohydrate, fat and protein. The amount of energy yielding
nutrients can be measured in calories. And the energy content of a food thus depends on how
much carbohydrate, fat and protein it contains. Carbohydrate, fat and protein are tremendous in
size. A huge molecule, composed of hundreds or thousand of atom is a molecule.

The energy may help build new compounds, help move the body, and escape as heat. Then, the
fragments energy may be used to build new compounds and excreted as waste materials.

The Vitamins

Vitamin is an essential organic nutrient required in small amounts. Consist from two word they
are “vita = life” and “amine = containing nitrogen”. Vitamins yield no energy.

The vitamins are divided into two classes. Some are soluble in water (the B vitamin and vitamin
C) and others are soluble in fat (vitamin A, D, E and K).

The Minerals

Minerals can occur in the simplest of chemical forms, as single atoms, tiny in comparison with
the energy yielding nutrients, which may be composed of thousands of atoms.

Some minerals are essential in human nutrition. And other minerals are still being studied. The
minerals are elements, whereas the other nutrients are all compounds. This means the minerals
cannot lose their identity, they exist “forever”.
Water

Water is inorganic and is dispensable and abundant, forms the major part of almost every body
tissue. Water provides the medium in which nearly all the body’s activities are conducted.

Water comes abundantly in foods and beverages. Water is generated from the energy yielding
nutrients in foods during metabolism.
