Answer 2

You can get all of your nutrients from food. Food is our nutrient source.

The only exception is that Vitamin D can be obtained partially from sunlight. That's it. All nutrients otherwise must be obtained from food.

Our body needs nutrients to function properly and a lack of certain nutrients is called a deficit, which can cause bad side-effects and diseases.

The three main nutrient groups are protein, carbohydrate and fat. They are all essential to the body's everyday functioning.

In your main meal you should have a protein source [eg meat, fish, egg], a starch-based food[eg bread, rice, pasta, potato], and a vegetable[to give other essential nutrients such as vitamin c, iron].

I hope that this helps to simply give you the guidelines on what nutrients are?
