Nutrients are divided into two parts –
Nutrients required in a small quantity are known as micronutrients. Micronutrients include vitamins and minerals.
Nutrients required in the larger quantity are known as macronutrients. These include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and water. All of these nutrients are necessary for life.

What is the importance of nutrients in our diet?

Health and nutrition are critically associated to each other. As to stay fit, one needs to have good nutrition.

Nutrients provide nourishment, needed to survive. They are essential because organism cannot synthesize or produce them in the required quantities. Inadequate intake of nutrients results into nutrient deficiency leading to various illnesses.

Our body is a complex organism carrying out many simple and complex activities daily. Our body is capable of healing itself with the proper nourishment and care. In order to maintain normal functioning of our body we need to understand its nutrient requirement and should fulfill it through a balanced diet.

This is quite interesting, I didn't know that there are so much nutrients that you can get from a simple basil plant. This is nice to know and be aware of, on the other hand, it made me wonder where can I get a list of vitamin b12 sources. Any thoughts?

thanks for the info

Interesting. Thank you very much for the information.

Thank you very much for such valuable information about nutrients that are important for our body. Among other things, I would advise each of you to pay attention to collagen. Since collagen is essentially a structural protein that serves as a scaffold for the cells and tissues of the body, it is very important for each of us. I take collagen to build muscle because I am a professional athlete. I've been ordering collagen for several years now from https://www.vitaminexpress.org/uk/collagen-supplements which has a huge selection of vitamins and supplements. You can take collagen in various forms. It can be powder, capsules or tablets.
