OF FOOD
• CARBOHYDRATES & FATS
• PROTIENS
• VITAMINS & MINERALS
• WATER

4. CARBOHYDRATES & FATS
• Carbohydrates:
The substance that is used as the
chief energy food is
carbohydrates. Rice, Wheat and
bread are rich in Carbohydrates.
• Fats:
Fats are high energy source
substances and contain less
oxygen in them . When they are
oxidized they produce more
energy. Oil, Ghee, Milk , Butter ,
Cheese etc., are rich in Fats.

5. PROTEINS
• Proteins help in digestion and
in building body materials.
Some proteins help in
repairing damaged parts
replacing worn our or dead
cells and tissues.
• Proteins are generally
polymers in nature. Enzymes
belong to the class of proteins.
Meat,fish, eggs, milk and all
pulses are rich in proteins.

6. VITAMINS & MINERALS
• Vitamins help enzymes to do their
jobs and hence called co-enzymes.
Vitamins help in keeping our eyes,
teeth & gums and bones healthy.
• Minerals help in the formation of
blood, bones and teeth. They
usually contain elements like
phosphorous, sulphur, nitrogen
etc., and metals like sodium,iron,
potassium,etc.,.Fruits, Vegetables

Vitamins and Minerals.

7. WATER
• Water:
Water is the essence of life.
