The digestive system transforms food into nutrients that the body needs. There are four main types of nutrients: proteins, vitamins and minerals, carbohydrates, and fats. Proteins help the body grow and repair itself and are found in foods like meat, fish, legumes, milk and eggs. Vitamins and minerals help the body work correctly and are in foods such as fruits, vegetables, milk and dairy. Carbohydrates and fats provide energy and are obtained from foods including pasta, potatoes, rice, bread, fruits, oil, butter, meat and more. The document provides examples of foods that contain each nutrient type.
