	[[Essential nutrients]] are nutrients that are required by the body for proper [[growth, development, and functioning]], but cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained from the diet. There are six essential nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. In this article, we'll explore the importance of essential nutrients and their roles in the body.		#REDIRECT [[Nutrition]]

	~~== Carbohydrates ==~~
	Carbohydrates are the body's primary source of [[energy]]. They are found in foods such as [[grains, fruits, and vegetables]], and are broken down into [[glucose]], which the [[body]] uses for energy. Carbohydrates also provide [[fiber]], which promotes [[digestive health]] and helps regulate [[blood sugar levels]].

	~~== Proteins ==~~
	Proteins are essential for building and repairing [[tissues]] in the body, including [[muscle, bone, and skin]]. They are also important for producing [[enzymes and hormones]], as well as maintaining a [[healthy immune system]]. Proteins are found in foods such as [[meat, fish, beans, and nuts]].

	~~== Fats ==~~
	Fats are a source of energy and are important for maintaining healthy [[skin and hair]], absorbing vitamins, and producing [[hormones]]. They are found in foods such as [[oils, nuts, and dairy products]]. However, it's important to consume healthy fats such as [[monounsaturated and polyunsaturated]] fats and limit [[saturated and trans fats]].

	~~== Vitamins ==~~
	Vitamins are essential for many [[bodily functions]], including maintaining [[healthy bones, skin, and eyes]], and supporting the [[immune system]]. There are two types of vitamins [[fat-soluble and water-soluble]]. Fat-soluble vitamins, such as [[vitamins A, D, E, and K]], are stored in the body's fat [[tissues and liver]]. Water-soluble vitamins, such as [[vitamin C and the B vitamins]], are not stored in the body and must be consumed daily through the [[diet or supplements]].

	~~== Minerals ==~~
	Minerals are essential for many bodily functions, including building [[strong bones and teeth, regulating fluid balance]], and supporting [[nerve and muscle function]]. Minerals are found in foods such as [[dairy products, leafy greens, and meats]].

	~~== Water ==~~
	Water is essential for many bodily functions, including regulating [[body temperature, transporting nutrients and oxygen to cells]], and removing waste from the body. It's important to consume enough water to prevent [[dehydration]] and promote overall health.
