The nutrients we get from
food are:
Carbohydrates. They
provide mainly energy and they are very
important for students and athletes. They
are found in cereals, bread, sugar,
vegetables and fruit. The proportion of
carbohydrates in the diet is 60%.
Proteins. They are found in milk, fish, meat,
eggs…either the abuse or the lack of them
are harmful. The proportion is 15 %.
Fats. They provide energy. It’s better to eat
uncooked fats and to avoid fats form
animal origins and fried products. Olive oil
and blue fish are very healthy. The
proportion of fats in the diet must be 25-
30%. It’s advisable not to take too many
fats because they’re fattening.
Vitamins and minerals. Some vitamins are
only present in some vegetables and fruit,
so, it’s important to eat them.
Water is essential for life. You must drink a
great quantity of water after a physical
activity. During a long physical exercise you
