Answer 1

Protein and carbohydrates

Answer 2

Fat is needed for our body, Regardless of what the diet companies and products say about low fat and fat free products being good for losing weight, they don't mention that our bodies so need unsaturated fats such as omega 3 fatty acids (often found in fish) can protect your body from heart disease and some types of cancers. Fats can also help to regulate blood pressure, prevent blood clotting and reduce inflammation.

Carbohydrates provide your brain and body with energy, alot quicker than by consuming proteins and fats. Starchy carbs are healthier than sugars, a complex of carbs is which helps all types of food pass easily through the body and aids digestion. Carbs also falls into another class .. sugars which occur naturally in some foods but are less healthy.

Proteins help the growth and maintenance of healthy bones, muscles, blood and skin. when carbs are not available the body will convert proteins into energy but too much protein (and not enough exercise) can lead to that protein being converted into fat (therefore causing weight gain)

Vitamins .. our bodies can not produce these but are important for keeping people healthy. Our immune systems and regulate the release of things such as calcium. Vitamins are also important for organ function.

Minerals commonly found in foods like cereals, fish, meat, veg, fruit and nut. They help the bdy work as it should by building strong bones and teeth, controlling body fluids and turning food into energy. Two important minerals are iron and calcium, lack of these will leed to deficiencies (example my son lacks iron and is amemic which causes him to be tired and lethargic and constantly hungry, he is on an iron supplement to try increase the iron in his body).
