Food provides nutrients that give us energy, support growth, and allow our bodies to function properly. There are three major types of nutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fat. Protein aids growth and repairs tissue, carbohydrates provide energy, and fat carries fat-soluble vitamins and insulates the body. A balanced diet contains all essential nutrients in appropriate proportions and varies depending on individual factors like age, gender, and activity level.
