Is everything in our body made up of proteins, minerals and water e.g. the organs, tissue etc?

It's hard to answer what you're asking.

You've certainly got proteins, minerals and water, but you've got lipids, carbohydrates, hydrocarbons, phospholipids, sugars ... idk

If you don't know, then don't answer.

No, but proteins and water form the vaaast majority of the mass of the body. The body also contains lipids, carbs, sugars.. like the guy above me said, but in smaller amounts than proteins and water. Minerals are usually incorporated into the larger molecules of proteins, carbohydrates and shit.
