6 Groups of Nutrients and Why Your System Needs Them

This is a digital storytelling project.

In order for us to understand what the body needs, I figured it would be appropriate for me to briefly go through each nutrient that is necessary for us to attain Optimal Health! There are nutrients that can be synthesized by the body but for the rest of them, we will have to obtain those through the foods we consume. Understanding the bigger picture can help us fuel our bodies with the correct foods and/ or achieve our desired physical results. Many people are told what to and what not to eat but we need to further educate ourselves and learn why we should (or should not) consume the foods we do!
A nutrient is defined as a substance that contains nourishment for growth & the maintenance of life! Watch this video to learn a bit more about the 6 essential nutrients that our body needs! Eating foods that are good for our body and not just good for our taste-buds will change your life!!!
Stay at PEACE & in LOVE! ��.

There are five types of nutrients that fall into two broad categories: macronutrients and micronutrients. Macronutrients, which are required in large amounts, include carbohydrates, proteins and fats. In contrast, micronutrients are required in small amounts and include vitamins and minerals.

While there are many essential nutrients, they can be broken into two categories: macronutrients and micronutrients..
Macronutrients are eaten in large amounts and include the primary building blocks of your diet — protein, carbohydrates, and fat — which provide your body with energy..
Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients, and small doses go a long way. There are six main groups of essential micronutrients and macronutrients..
1. Protein is having its moment, and not just in the workout community. But all of the hype is for a good reason. Protein is essential for good health..
Protein provides the building blocks of the body, and not just for muscle. Every cell, from bone to skin to hair, contains protein..
Proteins are made of up different amino acids. While the body can create some amino acids on its own, there are many essential amino acids that can only come from food. You need a variety of amino acids for your body to function properly..
The good news is that you don’t need to eat all of the amino acids at once. Your body can create complete proteins from the foods you eat throughout the day..
2. Carbohydrates.
Don’t let the low-carb craze fool you. Carbohydrates are necessary for a healthy body. Carbs fuel your body, especially your central nervous system and brain, and protect against disease..
Before you reach for the white bread or pasta, keep in mind that the type of carb you eat matters. Some carbs are healthier than others. Opt for whole grains, beans, and fiber-rich vegetables and fruits instead of refined grains and products with added sugar..
3. Fats.
often get a bad rap, but recent research has shown that healthy fats are an important part of a healthy diet..
The most famous unsaturated fats are omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Unsaturated fats are important for your body as they provide essential fatty acids your body can’t make. You can find these healthy fats in nuts, seeds, fish, and vegetable oils (like olive, avocado, and flaxseed). Coconut oil provides plant-based fats in the form of medium-chain triglycerides which impart health benefits like faster utilization by organs as fuel and appetite control..
Avoid trans fats and limit your intake of saturated animal-based fats like butter, cheese, red meat, and ice cream..
4. Vitamins..
are vital for warding off disease and staying healthy. The body needs these micronutrients to support its functions. There are 13 essential vitamins that the body needs to function properly, including vitamins A, C, B6, and D..
Each vitamin plays an important role in the body, and not getting enough of them can cause health problems and disease. Many Americans do not get enough of many essential vitamins. Vitamins are essential for healthy vision, skin, and bones..
Vitamins may lower the risk of lung and prostate cancer, and they’re powerful antioxidants. Vitamins like vitamin C boost the immune system and help the body heal..
5. Minerals.
Much like vitamins, minerals help support the body. They’re essential for many body functions, including building strong bones and teeth, regulating your metabolism, and staying properly hydrated. Some of the most common minerals are calcium, iron, and zinc..
In addition to strengthening bones, calcium helps with nerve signal transmission, maintaining healthy blood pressure, and muscle contraction and relaxation. Iron supports your red blood cells and hormone creation, while zinc boosts your immune system and wound healing..
6. Water.
You can go for weeks without food, but you can’t last more than a few days without water. Water is absolutely crucial for every system in your body. It’s also the main thing you are made of. About 62 percent of your body weight is water..
Water improves your brain function and mood. It acts a shock absorber and a lubricant in the body. It also helps flush out toxins, carry nutrients to cells, hydrate the body, and prevent constipation..
Even mild dehydration can make you feel tired and impair your concentration and physical performance..

Essential nutrients!
Essential nutrients are compounds that the body can’t make or can’t make in sufficient quantity. According to the World Health Organization, these nutrients must come from food, and they’re vital for disease prevention, growth, and good health..
While there are many essential nutrients, they can be broken into two categories: macronutrients and micronutrients..
Macronutrients are eaten in large amounts and include the primary building blocks of your diet, protein, carbohydrates, and fat, which provide your body with energy..
Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients, and small doses go a long way. There are six main groups of essential micronutrients and macronutrients..

There are six essential nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, fat, vitamins, minerals and water. People can get most of them from food, explains Angie Placeres, Registered Dietitian with Baptist Health South Florida..
The expert says people need carbs throughout the day, even when they’re sleeping, because the body is using carbohydrates for brain, breath and heart rate..
She also says there are different sources of carbohydrates such as grains which can be considered nutrient-density foods. Brown rice, quinoa and whole wheat breads are better choices, the expert explains.
