Carbohydrates provide energy, brain fuel, regulate blood pressure, and spare proteins.

Symptoms include fatigue, weakness, and difficulty concentrating.

Proteins aid in muscle growth, energy source, oxygen transport, and hormone regulation.

Indicators of deficiency include scurvy and night blindness.

Fats lubricate joints, help skin, reserve energy, and absorb fat-soluble vitamins.

Vitamins are essential for blood clotting, antioxidants, eyesight, and skin health.

Minerals help with fluid balance, oxygen transport, and nerve transmission.

Indicators include fluid imbalance, poor oxygen transport, and nerve issues.
