When our body digests food, the nutrients go to all parts of the body. These nutrients are proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, fats and water.
Every type of food contains different nutrients, so it's important to eat a helthy and varied diet.
Proteins help us groy and repair our body. We find them in meat, fish, milk, eggs and legumes.
Carbohydrates include starches and sugar and give us energy. They are found in bread, potatoes and rice.
Vitamins and minerals in vegetables and fruit help us to grow and keep our body healthy because they protect us from many illnesses.
Fats give us energy. There are two types of fat: animal fats in eggs, butter, fish and meat, and vegetable fats in olives and nuts.
Waters is also essential for our body because blood is mostly water. Water dissolves the nutrients and takes them to all parts of our body. Although humans can survive for an extended period wthout food, we can only survive for about three days without water.
