What Is Nutrition-Nutrient: A chemical substance in food that helps maintain the body.-Nutrition: The study of how your body uses the food that you eat.-Malnutrition: is the lack of the right proportions of nutrients over an extended periodwww.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for KidsWhat is a Nutrient(A nutrient is a chemical substance in food that helps maintain the body.) Some provide energy. All help build cells and tissues, regulate bodily processes such as breathing. No single food supplies all the nutrients the body needs to function.

Fat-soluble vitamins: carried in fatty parts of foods and dissolve in fats (body stores them in fat... build up can be dangerous)Water-soluble vitamins: dissolve in water (body does not store them)www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for KidsFat-Soluble VitaminsVitamin AVitamin DVitamin EVitamin K

Major minerals, in terms of amount present, include calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. In addition, your body needs smaller amounts of chromium, copper, fluoride, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, zinc, chloride, potassium and sodium. Amounts needed for most of these minerals is quite small and excessive amounts can be toxic to your body. www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for KidsWaterWater is your body's most important nutrient, is involved in every bodily function, and makes up 70- 75% of your total body weight. Water helps you to maintain body temperature, metabolize body fat, aids in digestion, lubricates and cushions organs, transports nutrients, and flushes toxins from your body.

Everyone should drink at least 64 ounces per day, and if you exercise or are overweight, even more. Your blood is approximately 90% water and is responsible for transporting nutrients and energy to muscles and for taking waste from tissues.
