Nutrients are substances required by the body to perform basic functions. There are six classes of nutrients: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, water, vitamins, and minerals. Nutrients provide energy, contribute to body structure, and regulate chemical processes. Macronutrients like carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and water are needed in large amounts and provide energy, while micronutrients like vitamins and minerals are needed in smaller amounts and regulate body processes.
