We've divided all of the nutrients in distinct nutrient types. Use the table of contents below to quickly find the nutrient you're interested in!

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are among the most recognizable macronutrients, commonly found in a wide variety of foods and drinks.

They serve as a primary source of energy, with starch being the most prevalent form of carbohydrates in our diet.

Carbohydrates in foods come in two major types: simple and complex.

Understanding the role of carbohydrates is essential, as they play a vital role in providing energy for daily activities and overall well-being.

Awareness of their significance can help you make informed dietary choices.

Fatty Acids

Fatty acids are the foundational components of fats and play a crucial role as both a dietary energy source and essential structural components of cells.

They come in three main categories: saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated. Each category has distinct properties and impacts on health.

Understanding these differences is key to making informed dietary choices.

Fatty acids not only provide energy but also help maintain cell structures, facilitate communication between cells, and enable the absorption of vital fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K).

Their versatile roles in our bodies underscore their significance for overall health
