helps with fat metabolism and is the preferred source of energy Carb can be found in veg, fruits, milk and grains 4cal/g
63
What is the function of fat?
provides stored form of energy maintains body temperature and protects the internal organs Decrease fat intake can lead to sensitivity to cold, skin lesions, increase risk of infection and amenorrhea in women Increase fat intake leads to cancer, obesity and heart problem 9cal/g
64

4 cal/g Is made up of amino acids which is essential in the growth and development of body tissue Build and repair tissues, maintains fluid and acid base balance, produces, enzymes, energy, hormones and antibodies decrease level of protein can lead to fat wasting and muscle wasting
65
What are essential amino acids?
they are required in diet because the body does not produce them Complete protein contains essential and nonessential amino acids
66
what are the functions of vitamins?
metabolism of fat, carb and protein catalyst for metabolic functions

ADEK, can be stored in the body so excess can cause toxicity
68
what are water soluble vitamins?
B, C are not stored in the body and can be excreted with urine
69
what are the functions of minerals and electrolytes
minerals are catalyst for chemical reactions minerals are almost in every food minerals are components of tissue, hormone, bone and cell electrolytes play role in osmolality, acid base balance, water balance, enzyme reactions and neuromuscular activity

function of water
makes up 60-70% of body weight
71
