Nutrients � Substances the body needs to function, grow, repair body tissue, and obtain energy �Your body requires more than 40 nutrients to complete all of the above tasks
Nutrition �The process by which the body takes in and uses nutrients
6 Classes of Nutrients �Carbohydrates �Fats �Proteins �Vitamins �Minerals �Water
6 Classes. . . �Carbs, fats, and proteins can all be used by the body as sources of energy �When your body uses the nutrients in foods, a series of chemical reaction occurs inside your cells. �The result is energy is released
Metabolism �https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=9 UYiv. K 1 j 7 h 4 �The chemical process by which your body breaks down food to release energy �Involves the use of energy for the growth and repair of body tissue
Calories �The unit of measurement for an amount of energy is released when nutrients are broken down �For good health, the number of calories in the food that you eat should match the calorie needs of your body �Be sure to consider that the calorie content also coincides with the nutrients your body needs
Carbohydrates �They supply the body with energy!!!! � 2 Types: -Simple -Complex
Simple Carbohydrates �Occur naturally in fruits, vegetables, and milk
Simple Carbohydrates �Several types, but GLUCOSE is the most important because it is the major provider of energy for your body’s cells. �All other types of sugar are converted to glucose once they are inside your body
Complex Carbohydrates �Made up of sugars linked together chemically to form long chains �Main type: Starches Such as. . .
Diabetes Type 1 & 2 �https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=jxbb. Bmbvu 7 I �https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=p. O 6 PWTOcht. A
Fiber �Type of complex carbohydrate found in plants �Not a true nutrient Because. . . Fiber cannot be broken down �Instead fiber passes through the body without being digested �STILL!!!!! It is needed for proper body functioning
A High-Fiber Diet �Helps prevent constipation �Reduces risk of colon cancer �Helps prevent heart disease �Whole-grain breads and cereals, veggies, fruits, nuts, beans, and seeds also provide the body with fiber
A High-Fiber Diet. . . �A high-fiber diet can help with health issues such as: �Colon Cancer �Ulcerative Colitis https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=JMAp. MBY 0 Cf Q �Crohn’s Disease https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=k 0 k. RSF 80 PJ 0 �IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=e. KLq. Fn. Am. K 6 c
Glycogen �Because you eat more carbs than you need the body converts the extra glucose into a sugar called glycogen �When the body needs more glucose, the glycogen is then converted back to glucose for the body to use �Although an over-abundance of glycogen can become fat if you continually over eat in carbohydrates
Daily Intake �Recommended 45%-65% of person’s calorie consumption should be in carbs �Complex carbs is better than simple carbs
Fats �Supply your body with energy �Form cells �Maintain body temperature �Protects your nerves �Ounce for ounce, fat has twice as many calories as carbohydrates
Unsaturated Fats �Usually liquid at room temperature (i. e. , vegetable oils, nuts, seeds) � 2 Types: -Monounsaturated -Polyunsaturated �A balance of both is important to cardiovascular health
Polyunsaturated Fats �Contain: -Corn -Soybean oil -Seafood
Monounsaturated Fats �Contain: -Olive oil -Peanuts -Canola oil
Saturated Fats �Usually solid at room temperature �Animal fats and dairy products
Daily Intake � 20 -35% of calories from fat (primarily saturated fat) �Reduce saturated fat intake �Substitute low-fat foods for the meats and dairy products that are high in saturated fats
Cholesterol �Waxy, fatlike substance that is found in animal products �Your body needs a certain amount of cholesterol to make cell membranes and nerve tissue, certain hormones, and substances that aid in digestion of fat �Liver produces all the cholesterol your body needs �Cholesterol is not a necessity in your diet
Cholesterol �Cholesterol is increased in a high fat diet �High cholesterol circulating in the blood cause deposits called PLAQUE that forms on the walls of the blood vessels �Heavy plaque build-up can lead to a heart attack �High cholesterol can be hereditary �Levels can rise with age �Reducing dairy and meat fat in your diet can help control cholesterol levels
Proteins �Contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen �Source of energy �Most important function: growth and repair of your body’s tissue �Examples. . .
Amino Acids �Proteins are long chains of smaller “links” that are bound together chemically �Similar to what type of carbohydrate? �Smaller substances. . . �AMINO ACIDS! �When you eat protein, your body breaks it down into AA �Absorbed into your blood stream, reassemble cells into proteins your body needs
