See!Garfield is eating a

very large pizza!

Also, a delicious hotdog !

YUMMY!!!YUMMY!!!

Why do I feel so…………………………………...????!!!!!!

BOMB!!!BOMB!!!

Hee! Hee!He eats all the

pizzas and hotdogs without

leaving any to me !

But now…………!!!Ha……!Ha……!

So do I !!!

Hey! My friend,

I am not so well recently,

but I don ‘t know why.

Would you like to help me ?

Garfield,it seems that you have

eaten quiet a lot of

things, but do you

know what does the

food we eat provide for

us?

…………?!?!

Ok,let me tellyou.

Foods provideus with five

types of nutrients, they are...

PROTEINS,CARBOHYDRA-PROTEINS,CARBOHYDRA-TES,FATS,VITAMINS AND TES,FATS,VITAMINS AND

MINERALSMINERALS

COOL!

YOO!

Of the five nutrients which our body needs,proteins,carbohydrates and fats are called macro-nutrients.They are needed in large amounts to keep our body working properly.On the other hand,vitamins and minerals are called micro-nutrients.They are needed in small amounts.

I see!Can you tell me more about

each of the nutrient?It sounds

interesting!

Of course!Let’s start from

proteins.Proteins came from two

sources.Proteins from animal foods are

animal proteins,which have high biological value.Proteins from plant foods are plant proteins which have

low biological value,except soya

bean.It provides high biological value.

Funny!How about the car…

Carbohydrate !

Yes,Car born high J’s.

SugarSugar,a quick source of

energy,known as”empty energy

food”, starchstarch,,which is stored in many plants,and is a good source of

energy with other nutrients, dietary fibredietary fibre or cellulose which is found in

the wall of plant cells help to remove body waste,are the three groups of

CARBOHYDRATES!!!

Wah!!!What come next?What come next?

Next is fats,fats is a more concentrated form of energy,fats from animal sources are animal fats.Fats from plant sources are plant fats,you know,cholesterol is mainly found in it.

Oh!I hate fats,it make me become overweight!!!

………

Ha Ha………

Hey!You see,Odie

would like to tell you the details

about Micro-

nutrients!!!

Really!?

Hee Hee!Vitamins are substances which are vital

to life.Vitamins B and C are water-

soluble.Vitamins A and D are fat-soluble.Woo...

…………

Ya!The last one is MINERALS!!!

Minerals are essential to the body.It helps our

body to work properly.Ther

e are four main

minerals,they are calcium, phosphorus,

iron and iodine.

Phosphorus……

What’s the

matter?

I’ve heard that vitamins D+ calcium+

phosphorus= form bones & teeth

Garfield,you should remember that you must not eat too much of each nutrient.Eat more fruits and vegetables.Both starch and dietary fibre are useful in our diet.As they are bulky,they can fill us up.We feel full and will not overeat.

OK,I think you must already find the cause of your

unwell body,right?

Yes,thank you!

You are so welcome!

HA HA………

Hay ! Let me tell you what is the nutrient .There are two kinds of nutrients.

One is macro nutrients,

other one is micro nutrients.

Macro nutrients are proteins,

carbohydrates and fats. They are need in large amounts to keep

our body working properly.

1.Carbohydrates ~SugarSugar, quick source of energy, jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjalso known as ‘empty jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjenergy food’ .

~StarchStarch, is stored in many plants, eeeeeeeeeigood source of energy iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiwith other nutrients .

~CelluloseCellulose, is found in the wall of jjj dietary fibredietary fibre plant cells, help to oooooooooooooremove body waste

2. Proteins~~Animal proteinsAnimal proteins, high biological iiiii

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivalue (HBV)

~~Plant proteinsPlant proteins, low biological iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiivalue (LBV), but iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisoya beani iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiprovides HBV

3. Fats ~~Plant fatPlant fat

~Animal fatAnimal fat, cholesterol is iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimainly found in iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.(concentrated iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiform of energy)

Micro-nutrients are vitamins and

minerals. They are only needed in small amounts to protect

us from diseases and keep us healthy.

4.Vitamins ~Water-soluble vitamins B, CWater-soluble vitamins B, C

~Fat –soluble vitamins A, DFat –soluble vitamins A, D

They are used to keep our body healthy, protect us.

5. Minerals ~CalciumCalcium

~IronIron

~IodineIodine

They are used to formed an essential They are used to formed an essential part of the body, help body to work part of the body, help body to work normally.normally.
