nutrients are found in the food that you
eat and drink
they're so small that you can't see them

but not all foods give our bodies
nutrients
so we have to make sure that we have
less of these types of foods
now let's learn about our six key
nutrients plus one they are
carbohydrates protein vitamins minerals
fat water and our plus one fiber
let's start with carbohydrates
carbohydrates are the main way your body
gets the energy it needs to run think
and play
just like a car needs gas to make it go
you can find healthy carbohydrates in
things like fruits vegetables bread and
pasta
fiber is found in fruits vegetables and
whole grains it helps us feel full
longer and cleans out our digestive
system which is where we break down our
food
protein helps us build and heal our
muscles you can find protein in beans
nuts seeds meat fish dairy foods and
eggs
protein is like a builder or handyman
who fixes houses protein fixes your body
when it needs repair
that is stored in the body as energy so
that you can use it later fat also helps
us to have beautiful hair skin and
fingernails
but if you eat a lot of fatty foods it
will cause you to gain too much weight
fat is found in foods that come from
animals nuts seeds butter margarine
avocado and in oils that we use to cook
with some fats are more nutritious for
us than others
the healthiest fats come from plants

parts of the body do the things they're
supposed to do
for example vitamin a that you can find
in orange fruits and vegetables helps
your vision
a mineral called calcium that you can
find in milk gives you strong bones and
teeth
water carries nutrients to the cells in
your body
about 50 to 60 percent of our body is
made up of water that is why it is
really important to bring that water
that you lose from sweating and using
the bathroom back into your body by
drinking lots of water
[Music]
and those are the 6k nutrients plus one
remember not all of our food has all of
these nutrients that's why we need to
