Who needs both macronutrients and micronutrients to keep their bodies

running?

Everyone needs both macronutrients and micronutrients to keep their bodies

running.

2. What are macronutrients?

Macronutrients are "energy providing chemicals or substances required in

relatively large amounts by living organisms," and they include fats, proteins,
and carbohydrates.

3. When do we need macronutrients and micronutrients?

We need macronutrients and micronutrients throughout our lives to keep our

bodies running properly.

4. Where do we get minerals from?

Minerals are obtained from soil and water, which are then passed into the
foods we eat.

5. Why do we need fats in our diet?

Fats are important for controlling appetite, weight management, disease

prevention, protecting vital organs, regulating hormone production, regulating
body temperature, absorbing fat-soluble vitamins, providing fuel for the brain,
and more.

6. How do carbohydrates supply energy to cells?

The body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose, which is used easily for
energy or stored away in muscles and fat stores for later use. Carbs are the
body's preferred energy source, but they are not the only macronutrient that
supplies energy to cells.
