What you need to know

  • The body needs six nutrients from food: water, vitamins, protein, fats, minerals and carbohydrates.
  • Carbohydrates and fats supply energy, and protein is used for growth and repair.
  • Vitamins and minerals are needed in small amounts so body processes can work.
  • Water is a nutrient as well, not only something to drink alongside food.
