These vitamins are essential for maintenance of the mucous membranes, absorption of calcium, anti-oxidant, and blood clotting respectively. The macronutrients like proteins contain amino acids, which are useful in maintenance and growth of the body. Fats are concentrated energy, which protects kidneys and skeleton. Carbohydrates are made up of oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. The glucose which is the major element of carbohydrates is the great energy provider that activates brain functioning, maintenance of body temperature, and food utilization.
