•ANTINUTRIENTS are molecules that do not provide nutrients (fidic acid), are starchy compounds that are neither digested nor absorbed, but are important for the flora. Among the non-nutrients we find the distinct dietary fiber in: •Soluble fiber (galactose) that promotes intestinal transit. •Insoluble fiber (cellulose) does not dissolve in water but absorbs its molecules bringing sense of satiety.

SOME GREAT TIPS
NUTRIENTS • By Dr. Medici
• Macronutrients: sugar, proteins and fat Sugar: are the main source of nutrients, are the fuel of the body and represent 55%/60% of daily calories. They are divided into simple and complex 1gr = 4 Kcal Proteins: represent the building blocks of the body, build bones and muscles, promote the growth and defense from viruses and bacteria. They are divided into plants and animals Fat: they give a lot of energy and make food tasty, but you should never abuse, they divide in animals and plants 1gr = 9 Kcal
