Answer 1

4. cannot be made by the body and therefore must be consumed to maintain health.

Step-by-step explanation:

Essential nutrients are nutrients that our body cannot synthesized and also those nutrients our body cannot produced in sufficient quantity, for the normal functioning of the body. These nutrients have to be obtained from the food we consume to support our life and health.

Essential nutrients obtained from food include carbohydrates, fats and oils, proteins, water, as well as certain vitamins and minerals. These essential nutrients that we get from our food are needed for good growth and development, prevention of diseases, as well as for maintaining good health.
