    Study Notes

    • The seven major food groups essential for a balanced diet are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, fiber, and water.
    • Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy and should make up the largest proportion of our diet, with whole grain versions being particularly beneficial due to their fiber content.
    • Proteins are crucial for growth and repair, made up of amino acids that our body can't produce on its own. Animal-based proteins generally provide a more complete profile of essential amino acids compared to plant-based sources.
    • Fats are important for growth, development, cell functions, and energy storage. They are essential for a healthy balanced diet and should not be feared as they do not directly cause weight gain.
    • Vitamins and minerals are necessary in small amounts for normal cell function, growth, repair, and overall health. A varied and balanced diet usually provides an adequate amount of these nutrients.
    • Fiber is crucial for gut health, regulating bowel movements, and removing waste and toxins. It should be consumed with an adequate amount of water to prevent dehydration.
    • Water is vital for maintaining blood flow, cell health, waste elimination, temperature regulation, and overall body function. Drinking enough water is crucial for preventing dehydration-related issues like headaches.
