Eating a well-balanced diet is easier when you have a clear understanding of each of the six nutrients that are so vital to human body. These nutrients all play different-yet very important roles in nutrition. Three of the six, the energy nutrients, provide energy for the body and thus yield calories. They are Carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The amount of energy a food has depends on how much carbohydrates, protein and fat it contains.

Food energy, both in its consumption and expenditure is measured in terms of calories. Calories provide the fuel that your body needs to keep it going and provide the energy needed to walk, kneed the dough or make love. They also help the body to carry out various internal bodily processes like the beating of the heart and repairing the body's tissues, along with assisting with growth and development. One gram of fat contains nine calories whereas one gram of either carbohydrates or protein contains only four calories. Taking university courses on this subject will inform you so that you know which foods to eat and which foods to avoid when attempting to improve how your body functions.

The other three vital nutrients are water, which is by for the most abundant nutrient (60% of the body) and a major past of almost every cell and tissue, vitamins, which serve as helpers, making it possible for other nutrients to be digested, absorbed and metabolized, and minerals, which help the body's metabolic process, assisting proteins and vitamins to carry out their important functions. Water, vitamins and minerals do not provide energy but have their specific and vital roles in nutrition that cannot be substituted or compromised.
