Benefits beyond nutrient contribution such as whole foods (e.g., walnuts and blueberries),
fortified foods, and modified foods.
What are fortified foods?
Foods that have more nutritional value than they would naturally have.
What are modified foods?
Foods that have been altered to give them atypical health benefits.
What are nutrients?
Substances obtained from food and are used in the body to provide energy, structural
material for growth, maintenance, and repair.
What are essential nutrients?
Nutrients that must be obtained from food; the body can make some/none of these
nutrients and requires them.
