  2. G-4 Fat is important for the human body. It provides us with energy, and it helps the body use vitamins A, D, E, and K
  3. G-9 Fat is also vital for maintaining healthy skin and hair, protecting our body's organs against shock, maintaining body temperature and promoting healthy cell function.
  4. B-6 Our body digests complex carbs much slower, so we feel full for longer and avoid blood sugar spikes.
  5. O-19 Minerals are inorganic elements that come from the soil and water and are absorbed by plants or eaten by animals.
  6. N-3 Proteins are considered a major nutrient for the body due to the energy (calories) they provide.
  7. O-5 The fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K dissolve in fat and can be stored in your body.
  8. N-8 Proteins grow, maintain, and replace the tissues in our bodies. Our muscles, organs, and immune systems are mostly made of protein.
  9. N-17 The protein contained in eggs is considered to be the highest quality protein out of all foods.
  10. N-22 Our bodies can produce around 13, but there are 9 amino acids that our body cannot make itself. These are called essential amino acids and we obtain these by eating certain protein-rich foods
  11. O-24 Vitamins and minerals boost the immune system, support normal growth and development, and help cells and organs do their jobs.
  12. G-18 Trans fats are unhealthy fats and can cause heart disease. They are created in food by partially hydrogenating other types of fats
  13. B-15 Simple carbohydrates have little nutritional value & are in processed foods such as candy, cakes, and cookies.
  14. I-2 Dietary fiber is found only in plant foods. If you eat it and drink lots of water, it can prevent diarrhea & constipation
  15. G-13 Unsaturated fats are usually liquid at room temperature and are found in vegetable oils. Unsaturated fats, in moderation, help lower blood cholesterol levels and can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
  16. B-1 Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy (calories) and are a key fuel source for exercise and sport
  17. B-20 When people eat too many carbohydrates, they can gain weight because the body stores the extra carbohydrates as fat.
  18. I-21 Fiber can make you feel full so you don’t overeat.
