Essential Nutrients
Nutrients are substances that are necessary for growth and the maintenance of
life, and include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
Essential nutrients are nutrients that are essential to life, but your body
can't make on its own.
How these nutrients are introduced into your body may have a great impact on how
well they are utilized. Nutrients do not work alone but in concert
(synergistically) with other nutrients. The benefit of deriving nutrients from
eating fresh whole foods such as those included on the list of the World's
Healthiest Foods is that they provide not only an abundance of individual
nutrients but also the variety necessary for their optimal function. This
section is designed to inform you about the function of the various nutrients
and which of the World's Healthiest Foods are the richest source for each of
them.
