Nutrition
Foods provide Essential Nutrients
Essential nutrients
are those substances that we must obtain from our diet because our body
cannot make these nutrients in sufficient quantities to meet the body's
needs. Vitamins, minerals and certain amino acids and fatty acids are
essential nutrients.
Nonessential nutrients
are substances that the body can construct from other available
compounds. Of course, nonessential nutrients may be obtained from our
diet as well.
We may also examine the nutrients that we need for good health in terms of Macronutrients and Micronutrients:
Macronutrients ("macro-" meaning large) are nutrients we require in large amounts, that is, on the scale of grams per day. Carbohydrates, proteins and fats are all examples of macronutrients.
To examine carbohydrates, proteins and fats in detail click on the following links:
Several minerals are also important to us on the milligrams to grams per day scale. We call them Macrominerals and they include Calcium, Chloride, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium and Sulfur.
Micronutrients are nutrients that we need in small amounts (milligrams or even as little as micrograms daily).
Vitamins, for example,
are organic molecules that are needed in milligram to microgram amounts. The water-soluble
vitamins that we require include vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and an assortment of B-vitamins: thiamine (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), biotin (vitamin B7), folic acid (vitamin B9) and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12). The fat-soluble vitamins we need include vitamin A (retinol), vitamin D (cholecalciferol), vitamin
E (alpha-tocopherol) and vitamin K (phylloquinone and menaquinone).
Check out the link on Vitamins for much more information:
There are a number of Microminerals (also known as trace and ultra-trace minerals) that have been associated with human nutrition, including Cobalt, Copper, Chromium, Fluoride, Iodine, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, Selenium and Zinc. Several other trace minerals are also being investigated in connection with human nutrition, they are Arsenic, Boron, Nickel, Silicon, Tin and Vanadium.
