- - - - main energy source; broken down into simple sugars which are absorbed in the bloodstream; the storage form of glucose is glycogen
    - - used to build and repair tissues; makes enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals; important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood.
    - - storage form of energy from fat
    - - help support bones, heal wounds, and strengthen your immune system; also convert food into energy, and repair cellular damage
    - - essential for life
  - - - proteins
        
        important for "protein hormones" ex- growth hormone
      - lipids
        
        Hormones affect the metabolism of fatty acids and the fatty acid composition of tissue lipids. The principal hormones involved in lipid metabolism are insulin, glucagon, catecholamines, cortisol and growth hormone.
      - carbs
        
        can increase serotonin levels (especially sweets)
      - vitamins/minerals
        
        vitamins B5 and B6 will help to regulate the pineal gland, while aiding in the production and distribution of melatonin, the hormone that regulates the all-important circadian rhythms
    - - proteins
        
        a protein called neurexin is required for nerve cell connections to form and function correctly.
      - lipids
        
        important regulators of brain function and have been implicated in neurodegenerative and mood disorders.
      - carbs
        
        the brain's source of fuel IS glucose
      - vitamins/minerals
        
        vitamin B3 is essential for the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and vitamin B1 is required for the normal functioning of nerves.
    - - carbs
        
        preferred source of energy for muscle contraction
      - proteins
        
        aid in muscle repair and building
      - lipids
        
        helps maintain testosterone levels for increased muscle mass
      - vitamins/minerals
        
        calcium is essential for muscle contraction and phosphorus is involved in the synthesis of ATP
    - - proteins
      - lipids
        
        Each kidney is held in place by connective tissue, called renal fascia, and is surrounded by a thick layer of adipose tissue, called perirenal fat, which helps to protect it
      - carbs
      - vitamins/minerals
        
        Large amounts of vitamin C limit the growth of some bacteria by acidifying the urine.
    - - proteins
        
        can help lower cholesterol and blood pressure
      - carbs
      - lipids
        
        unsaturated fats raise HDL and lower LDL
      - vitamins/minerals
        
        vitamin D helps regulate blood pressure, but magnesium is needed to turn vitamin D into its active form
