Nutrition and YOU Carbohydrates Fats Proteins Fibre Vitamins(detailed) Minerals(detailed)
Carbohydrates § Main provider of energy § Two different types § simple (sugars – fast energy) § complex (starches – slow energy) § Sources: Grains, Noodles, Candy, Fruits, Veggies, etc. § Produce glycogen, excess turns to fat § Unrefined grains also give fibre (for digesting)
Fats § Provides quick bursts energy § Helps absorb vitamins § Keeps body warm + helps cells work § 3 Types of Fat § Unsaturated (good fat: gives energy) § Saturated (medium fat: mild heart disease) § Trans (bad fat: severe heart disease) § Sources: oils, dairy, meats, baked goods, etc. § Good amount/day = 30%
Protein § Grows muscles, skin, & organs § Repairs broken cells and builds new ones § In body except bile and pee § 2 types of Protein § Complete § Incomplete (all amino acids) (some amino acids) § Sources: Meats, veggies, fruits, beans, dairy, etc. Soybeans= only plant complete protein § Incomplete= complete when eaten with missing acids
Fibre § Helps digestion, feels full when eaten § Lowers blood cholesterol + risk of disease § 2 types § Water soluble fibre (dissolves in water) § Insoluble fibre (doesn’t dissolve in water) § Sources: Whole-grains, almonds, artichokes, apples etc. § Carbs + Fibre diet= awesome (no calories) § slows sugar absorption, regulates insulin level
Vitamins § Do various actions, depending on the vitamin § Not produce by body, found in food § 2 major types: § Fat soluble (stay longer) § Water soluble (leave body faster (through pee)) § Some common vitamins: A, B, C, D, and E § Sources: veggies, fruits, meats(detailed next slide) § Some fat soluble vitamins stay 6 months!
Vitamins(detailed) § Common vitamins A~E § A (see better at night + color vision) § B (easier metabolism, makes red blood cells) § C (prevents cell decay, resist infection, heal wounds) § D (helps form bones, absorb calcium easier) § E (like B+C + protects lungs from polluted air) § Sources: § A: orange fruits and veggies, leafy greens, etc. § B: whole wheat, leafy greens, seafood, dairy, etc. § C: fruits with sour sweet taste (citrus fruits), etc. § D: milk, fish, liver, etc. § E: whole grains, sardines, leafy greens
Minerals § Keeps healthy body, some similar to vitamins § Forms muscles, bones, nerve connections, etc. § 2 Types § Macro minerals § Trace minerals (body needs many) (body needs little) § Also not produced by body § Some macro minerals: calcium, sulphur, sodium § Some trace minerals: iron, copper, zinc
Minerals(detailed) § Some common ones: § Calcium (strengthens bones) § Sodium (regulates fluids + blood pressure) § § § Iron Copper Potassium (with copper, makes red blood vessels) (helps nerves, bones, ) (muscle activity, carb “processing”)
Water § Body= 60% water § Moves fluids around body (+wastes) § 2 Types § Salt water (not drinkable) § Fresh water (drinkable) § Sources: fruits, veggies, lakes, etc… § Hydrates body, keeps cells working
