Macronutrients
Three main types of macronutrients: proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
Protein
Scientists are not exactly sure, but most agree that around 20,000 different proteins exist in our body. Some studies suggest that there might be even more.
Protein consists of long chains of compounds called amino acids. These are essential in developing, repairing, and maintaining body tissues.
(There are 20 amino acids and 9 essential amino acids)
Protein is present in every body cell, and adequate protein intake is important for keeping the muscles, bones, and tissues healthy. Protein also plays a vital role in many bodily processes, such as aiding the immune system, biochemical reactions, and providing structure and support for cells.
Fats
Fats are an important part of the diet that can also provide the body with energy. While some types of dietary fats may be healthier than others, they are an essential part of the diet and play a role in hormone production, cell growth, energy storage, and the absorption of important vitamins.
