Key Nutrients & Their Functions

I am always amazed that many people do not know the function/s that their food items (& nutrients within those food items) play. That said, many aren't too sure what nutrients are derived from those food items that they're eating, despite most being clearly labeled. 

Below is a list of our key nutrients and the main function that they perform. Please click on each for more info.

Protein – repair & growth of tissue (including MUSCLE!).
Carbohydrate – primary energy source.
Fat – secondary energy source.
Vitamins & Minerals – regulate metabolic processes.
Water – transportation of other nutrients.
