Essential building blocks for muscles, tissues, and enzymes. Found in foods like chicken, fish, beans, and legumes.
Important for hormone production, nutrient absorption, and energy storage. Sources include avocados, nuts, olive oil, and fish.
Primary energy source for daily activities. Found in grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes.
