About 1/2 of your dry body weight is protein. It makes and repairs body cells.

Fat is the source of energy for the body.

Minerals help your body stay regulated.
Water is a nutrient that makes up 60% of our body weight. Water carries other nutrients to all parts of the body, it carries waste out of the body and it helps to regulate body temperature.
