There are six nutritive substances which are essential for the maintenance of life in man. They are protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and cellulose. Though water is not a nutritive substance, it is essential for the maintenance of life in man. A nutritionally-adequate diet will contain all of the essential nutritive substances mentioned above, both in amount and in the proportion required to maintain the body in full health and physical efficiency.
