Macronutrients: These include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. They provide the energy (calories) required for daily activities and serve as the building blocks for muscles and tissues.
Micronutrients:
Water-Soluble Vitamins: Such as vitamin C and the B-complex vitamins, crucial for energy production and cell function.
Fat-Soluble Vitamins: Such as vitamins A, D, E, and K, essential for vision, bone health, and immune function.
Micro Minerals: Such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which contribute to bone health, nerve function, and muscle contractions.
