34 Vocabulary Nutrients Nutrients are ingredients found in foods. For our bodies to function, be healthy and to stay alive, we need to eat enough of them. There are six different nutrients: water, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, and vitamins. Fiber Fiber is the part of a plant food that can t be digested by our bodies. This means that it travels through our stomach and intestines. It grabs water on the way, and helps our bowel movements! Vitamins and minerals Vitamins and minerals are substances found in foods we eat. Our bodies need them to grow and work properly. Vitamin D in milk helps your bones, vitamin A in carrots helps your night-time vision and vitamin C in oranges helps your body heal if you get a cut. These are just a few examples, each vitamin has its roles to play. Minerals are found in small amounts in foods. Just like vitamins they help our body grow, develop and stay healthy. Minerals do things like building strong bones, transmit nerve impulses, make hormones and maintain a normal heartbeat. Sulfuric acid Sulfuric acid is created when you take a knife and slice an onion. This happens because the cells inside the onion is broken down. A type of gas is released from the onion, and it reacts with the water in your eyes to form the sulfuric acid. Antioxidants Antioxidants help us stay healthy. They do this by preventing or slowing cell damage in our bodies. Having a diet that includes a healthy mix of colorful fruits and vegetables, and other rich foods, gives us the most antioxidants. 33
