How The Six Basic Nutrients Affect Your Body

In this video, we discuss the six essential nutrients that you get from food and their functions.

Water

Even if you decide to go on a diet and skip main meals, you can still survive. However, you cannot survive without water.

Vitamins

The primary function of these nutrients is to prevent disease and keep you healthy. Without enough vitamins, your body will struggle to fight off microorganisms.

Protein

This is the most highlighted nutrient. If you visit any nutritionist, they’ll recommend a variety of foods to ensure you get enough protein, including meat, eggs, and some grains.

Fat

Yes, this is the nutrient you typically try to avoid. But perhaps you shouldn’t avoid it too much. Of course, too much fat can be dangerous for your body. Excess fat can cause problems for your blood pressure, heart, digestive, and respiratory systems.

Minerals

When thinking about minerals for the body, the first thing that may come to mind is calcium. But that’s not the only important mineral. Don’t forget about iron and zinc.

Carbohydrates

Although the world is shifting toward low-carb diets, carbohydrates remain one of the most important nutrients for the body. They are the fuel for your brain and central nervous system.
