Foods containing fats and carbohydrates are also called ‘energy giving foods. Proteins are needed for
the growth and repair of our body. Foods proteins are often called ‘body building foods. Vitamins help
in protecting our body against diseases. Vitamins are of different kinds known by different names. Our
body needs all types of vitamins in small quantities. Vitamin A keeps our skin and eyes healthy. Vitamin
C helps body to fight against many diseases. Vitamin D helps our body to use calcium for bones and
teeth. However, in a given raw material, one particular nutrient may be present in much larger quantity
than in others. For example, rice has more carbohydrates than other nutrients. Thus, we say that rice is
a “carbohydrate Rich” source of food. Besides these nutrients, our body needs dietary fibres and water.
Dietary fibers are also known as Roughage. Roughage is mainly provided by plant products in our foods.
Whole grains and pulses, potatoes, fresh fruits and vegetables are main sources of roughage.
