    Nutrients are chemical substances found in all living things that are necessary for life. They help break down food to provide organisms with energy and are used in every bodily process like growth, repair, and maintaining life. Nutrients can be classified as macronutrients or micronutrients and as organic or inorganic depending on whether they provide energy. Macronutrients needed in large amounts include carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, while micronutrients required in smaller amounts are vitamins and minerals. The digestive system breaks down nutrients into smaller parts for absorption and use for energy, growth, and cell repair with dietary sources including animal foods like meat and dairy. Factors like the nature of nutrients and presence of other substances can

    Nutrients
    What is nutrients?

    Nutrients are chemical substances found in every


    living thing on Earth. They are necessary to the lives
    of people, plants, animals, and all other organisms.
    Nutrients help break down food to give
    organisms energy. They are used in every process of
    an organism’s body. Some of the processes are
    growth (building cells), repair (healing a wound),
    and maintaining life (breathing).

    2
    Classifications of nutrients

    Nutrients can be further classified as either macronutrients or micronutrients and


    either organic or inorganic, as well as whether or not they provide energy to the body
    (energy-yielding). We’ll discuss these different ways of classifying nutrients in the
    following sections.

    3
    Macronutrients

    Nutrients that are needed in large amounts are


    called macronutrients. There are three classes
    of macronutrients: carbohydrates, lipids, and
    proteins.

    4
    5
    Micronutrients
    Micronutrients are nutrients required by
    the body in smaller amounts, but they’re
    still essential for carrying out bodily
    functions. Micronutrients include all of the
    essential minerals and vitamins.

    6
    Digestion
    How does digestion
    gives nutrients ?

    8
    “
    Your digestive system breaks
    nutrients into parts small
    enough for your body to
    absorb and use for energy,
    growth, and cell repair.

    9
    Functions
    “
    ༝ Nutrients have one or
    more of three basic
    functions: they provide
    energy, contribute to body
    structure, and/or regulate
    chemical processes in the
    body.
    11
    Dietary
    Sources
    “
    ༝ The dietary sources are
    animal foods like meat,
    poultry, fish, and dairy
    products.

    13
    FACTORS
    AFFECTING
    ABSORPTION
    14
    ENERGY
    ༝ Energy Heat absorbed by the body is directly
    proportional to the mass of the body, i.e., more
    the mass, more will be the heat absorbed by
    the body. Q∝M (ii) Heat absorbed by the body
    is directly proportional to the rise in
    temperature, i.e., more heat will be absorbed
    when the body is heated at greater
    temperature.

    15
    Carbohydrates, Proteins and Lipids
    ༝ The rate of absorption of carbohydrate from
    the small intestine plays a major role in
    determining the metabolic effects of dietary
    carbohydrate. Factors which reduce the rate of
    absorption include the nature of the starch and
    sugars, and the presence of vegetable
    proteins, fats, viscous fibre, and antinutrients,
    including lectins and phytates.

    16
    Fat-soluble Vitamins
    ༝ A vitamin that can dissolve in fats and oils.
    Vitamins are nutrients that the body needs in
    small amounts to stay healthy and work the way
    it should. Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed
    along with fats in the diet and are stored in the
    body’s fatty tissue and in the liver. They are
    found in many plant and animal foods and in
    dietary supplements. Vitamins A, D, E, and K
    are fat-soluble.
    17
    Water-soluble Vitamins

    ༝ Water-soluble vitamins are carried to the body's tissues but are not stored
    in the body. They are found in many plant and animal foods and in dietary
    supplements and must be taken in daily. Vitamin C and members of the
    vitamin B complex are water-soluble.

    18
    Minerals, iron, Flourine, Calcium and Iodine
    ༝ Minerals are those elements on the earth and in foods that our bodies need to
    develop and function normally. Those essential for health include calcium,
    fluorine, iodine, iron and other elements.
