Here are the essential nutrients for growth:
● Vitamins, Minerals, Antioxidants:
These are types of micro-nutrients, which means they are needed in smaller quantities. However, they are very important for a robust immune system and regular developments in your body. Antioxidants like vitamins A, C and E, and the minerals copper, zinc and selenium protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals that cause heart disease & certain types of cancer.
● Carbohydrates (including starches and fiber):
65% of our energy comes from carbohydrates. Fiber helps with digestion & starches break down into glucose which is a fuel for brain & muscle.
● Protein:
Protein is a macronutrient and the most important one for growth. It is low in calories and high in energy. Protein is a key nutrient for the creation and maintenance of body cells. One cannot build muscles, have healthy bones or even have a healthy, active routine without proper intake of protein.
● Healthy fats & Oil:
There are two types of fats: Saturated & unsaturated. Unsaturated is the healthy kind of fat which is usually found in plant sources.
To meet your daily nutrition goal, a healthy balance of these micronutrients & macronutrients is important. Look at the diagram below to plan your diet:
