Nutrients are substances in food on which the body depends for proper functioning.
There are six classes of nutrients. This week's nutrient is CARBOHYDRATES!
Carbohydrates provide much of the energy needed for physical activity and organ function. Carbohydrates are also necessary for the normal metabolism of fat. In the absence of carbohydrates, larger amounts of fat are used for energy than the body is able to handle.
Not getting enough of some nutrients can lead to health problems as can getting too much of other nutrients.
