... Vitamins, Minerals and Water Of these six nutrients, these three provide no calories, but they're just as vital to life. These nutrients are vitamins, minerals and water. (Yes, water. It's actually been called the "forgotten nutrient.") Vitamins Unlike carbohydrates, fats and protein, vitamins do not provide energy (calories) - but they are vital, nonetheless. Vitamins help regulate the many chemical processes in the body including those that convert food into energy - and into living tissue. Thirteen different vitamins are known to be required for good health. They are separated into two classes: water-soluble (B-complex vitamins and vitamin C) and fat-soluble (vitamins A, D, E and K). Fat-soluble Vitamins * Need fat to be absorbed into and transported around the bloodstream. * Dissolve in fat. * Can be stored in your body. Water-soluble Vitamins * Dissolve in water. * Are easily absorbed and excreted. * Are not easily stored. Food Sources of Vitamins Vitamins
