As you may recall, nutrients are divided into the following six (6) categories: o Carbohydrates o Lipids (Fats) o Proteins o Vitamins o Minerals o Water an informative PowerPoint presentation that could be used to teach your classmates about a variety of nutrients For this assignment, you will need to develop from the nutrient categories (above). o Your PowerPoint presentation should: o Have a title slide. o Contain at least 6 content slides. o Reflect proper spelling and grammar. o Cite at least 2 credible references and present the sources in APA format on a References slide. o Choose five (5) specific nutrients from within the nutrient categories listed above. You may choose either: o a mixture of five (5) macro and micro nutrients o For example, you can use 2 macronutrients (such as lipids and carbohydrates) and 3 micronutrients (such as specific vitamins and minerals) o five (5) different vitamins or minerals o For example, 2 vitamins (such as A and D), 2 major minerals (such as sodium, calcium, and potassium), and 1 trace mineral (such as zinc). o For each of the nutrients you selected, create content slides that address the following: o Explain the function(s) of the nutrient within the body. o Describe how the nutrient is metabolized (where primarily digested, absorbed, and transported) within the body. o Identify the current Reference Daily Intake (RDI) for the nutrient for an average adult. , below consult the resources For information about creating PowerPoint presentations and assessing the credibility of resources. o Writing Guide: PowerPoints o PowerPoint FAQ o How do I know if a source is credible? o PowerPoint & APA: citing sources and creating reference lists in PPT presentations Submit your completed assignment to the drop box below.

WATER
Every living being needs water. The life of
plants, animals, and, of course, humans are

dependent on the presence of a certain
availability of water, which must be ensured
continuously so that the many vital functions
can take place regularly. So much so that in its

absence, death occurs within a few days.

• It is a transport vehicle for all nutrients and waste: it delivers to each cell the ingredients it
requires and carries away the end or elimination products of its life-support reactions.
• It is an almost universal solvent: it dissolves amino acids, glucose, minerals, and many other
substances. . In addition, fatty substances can travel freely in the blood and lymph systems
because they are uniquely packaged within water-soluble proteins.
• Waste elimination: Small molecules dissolve in the blood and must be removed to avoid
forming toxic concentrations within the body. The kidneys act as filters for these waste
products and excrete them, mixed with water, through urine.
• It maintains body temperature. To get rid of excess heat, the body secretes sweat. Therefore,
heat energy is dissipated, cooling the skin as well as the underlying blood.

• It lubricates, cushions joints, and cushions vital tissues. This can be seen in the spinal cord or
the eye as the liquid acts as a shock absorber to maintain optimal pressure on the retina and
lens or even in the fetus via the amniotic fluid sac. Water also acts as a lubricant for the
respiratory and digestive tracts, and for all tissues that are moistened with mucus

• Benefits the digestive process. Because: It creates saliva, and removes waste from the body it is
essential for sweating, urine, and regular bowel movements. It also prevents constipation
because when we are dehydrated, the intestine cannot dilute the feces with water and has to
take it directly from the food we consume. This results in slow digestion, i.e. dry, hard stools
that transit with difficulty. Finally, it speeds up the transit time because it helps t...
