3. Nutrition & Energy You must eat food to obtain energy You must eat food to obtain energy Remember: Cells convert chemical energy into ATP Remember: Cells convert chemical energy into ATP The energy available in food can be measured by burning the food The energy available in food can be measured by burning the food The amount of heat given off is measured and expressed in terms of calories The amount of heat given off is measured and expressed in terms of calories One calorie raise 1 g of water 1 ̊C One calorie raise 1 g of water 1 ̊C One dietary Calorie (C)= 1000 calories One dietary Calorie (C)= 1000 calories Different foods contain different substances that the body needs and can not manufacture Different foods contain different substances that the body needs and can not manufacture The science of nutrition studies food and its effects to determine how food helps the body meet all of its various needs The science of nutrition studies food and its effects to determine how food helps the body meet all of its various needs

4. Nutrients Nutrients are substances in food that supply the energy and raw materials your body uses for growth, repair, and maintenance.

Water Most important nutrient because every cell in the human body needs water for chemical reactions Most important nutrient because every cell in the human body needs water for chemical reactions Water makes up the bulk of blood, lymph, and other bodily fluids Water makes up the bulk of blood, lymph, and other bodily fluids Water is lost by sweating, breathing, and urinating Water is lost by sweating, breathing, and urinating Humans need to replenish it by drinking clean water to prevent dehydration Humans need to replenish it by drinking clean water to prevent dehydration

6. Carbohydrates The main source of energy for your body The main source of energy for your body Simple carbohydrates (monosaccharide): fruit, honey, sugar cane Simple carbohydrates (monosaccharide): fruit, honey, sugar cane Complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides): grains, potatoes, vegetables Complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides): grains, potatoes, vegetables Complex carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars by the digestive system and absorbed into the bloodstream to provide cells energy Complex carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars by the digestive system and absorbed into the bloodstream to provide cells energy Sugars not immediately used are stored as glycogen Sugars not immediately used are stored as glycogen Fiber (cellulose) in breads pasta, cereals, fruits, and vegetables Fiber (cellulose) in breads pasta, cereals, fruits, and vegetables Fiber keeps food and wastes moving through your digestive and excretory systems Fiber keeps food and wastes moving through your digestive and excretory systems

7. Fats Lipids formed from fatty acids and glycerol Lipids formed from fatty acids and glycerol Deposits of fats protect body organs, insulate the body, and store energy Deposits of fats protect body organs, insulate the body, and store energy Fats are used by body to produce cell membranes, myelin sheaths, and certain hormones Fats are used by body to produce cell membranes, myelin sheaths, and certain hormones

8. Proteins Supply raw materials for growth and repair of structures (skin and muscle) Supply raw materials for growth and repair of structures (skin and muscle) Have regulatory and transport functions (insulin and hemoglobin) Have regulatory and transport functions (insulin and hemoglobin) Polymers of amino acids, but the body is able to produce only 12 of the 20 amino acids. Other 8 essential amino acids are obtained by eating meat, fish, eggs, milk, beans, and rice Polymers of amino acids, but the body is able to produce only 12 of the 20 amino acids. Other 8 essential amino acids are obtained by eating meat, fish, eggs, milk, beans, and rice

9. Vitamins Organic molecules that help regulate body processes, often working with enzymes Organic molecules that help regulate body processes, often working with enzymes Some are made and stored in body (A,D,E,K), others must be obtained from food (C & B) Some are made and stored in body (A,D,E,K), others must be obtained from food (C & B) Eating a diet containing a variety of foods will supply the daily vitamin needs of your body Eating a diet containing a variety of foods will supply the daily vitamin needs of your body

15. Balanced Diet Nutritionists have tried to figure out the best balance of nutrients for the human body and created the Food Guide Pyramid Nutritionists have tried to figure out the best balance of nutrients for the human body and created the Food Guide Pyramid To sum it up: You should eat a variety of foods each day and limit your intake of fatty, sugary foods To sum it up: You should eat a variety of foods each day and limit your intake of fatty, sugary foods

16. Fats Sugars Fats, Oils, and Sweets (use sparingly) Soft drinks, candy, ice cream, mayonnaise, and other foods in this group have relatively few valuable nutrients. Milk, Yogurt, and Cheese Group (2-3 Servings) Milk and other dairy products are rich in proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs, and Nut Group (2-3 servings) These foods are high in protein. They also supply vitamins and minerals. Vegetable Group (3-5 servings) Vegetables are a low-fat source of carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Fruit Group (2-4 servings) Fruits are good sources of carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and water. Bread, Cereal, Rice and Pasta Group (6-11 servings) The foods at the base of the pyramid are rich in complex carbohydrates and also provide proteins, fiber, vitamins, and some minerals.

18. Quick Activity Working in groups, identify the nutrients that you can obtain from each food on your menu Working in groups, identify the nutrients that you can obtain from each food on your menu When your done, write down the foods you ate today… did you get all of your nutrients? When your done, write down the foods you ate today… did you get all of your nutrients? Using your menu, try to put together a meal that will supply your body with all the needed nutrients Using your menu, try to put together a meal that will supply your body with all the needed nutrients
