Myths/Preconceptions 1. Students believe that just because you are at your optimum weight you are healthy 2. Weight is not always a accurate measure of the healthiness of their diet a. Healthy diet as a means of preventing chronic diseases such as heart disease and preventing other health problems applies only to middle-aged and elderly b. Poor eating habits and inactivity can harm young people and eventually their long-term health

Lesson Objectives I WBAT Compare and contrast the benefits and risks of consuming simple vs. complex carbohydrates. I will then analyze what I have eaten in the last two meals, to determine if I am choosing the appropriate types of carbs to best suit my dietary needs.
5
Key Terms Nutrition: Nutrient: Carbohydrate: Fat: Protein:
6
What is Nutrition Nutrition: Is the science or study of food and the ways in which the body uses food How and why we make certain food choices Nutrients food contains Nutrients: Substance in food that provides energy or help form body tissue. Necessary for life and growth
7
Six Classes of Nutrients Provides Energy: 1. Carbohydrate: Nutrient that provides energy (sugar, starch, fibers). 2. Fat: Energy-giving nutrients that are also the main form of energy storage in the body. 3. Protein: Amino acids that repair and build body structures such as muscles. Does Not Provide Energy: Vitamins, Minerals, and Water
8
Balanced Diet Keeps You Healthy Too little food: weight loss, poor growth, and possible death. Too much food: Excess body fat, heart disease, high blood pressure, Diseases caused by poor nutrition: Obesity, heart disease, osteoporosis, cancer, and diabetes.
9
Your Body and Food How does the consumption of food affect your body Provides fuel Chemical process of food to keep you alive & active (Metabolism) Every piece of food is an energy source These energy sources are measured in calories 1. Carbohydrates & Protein-4 calories per gram 2. Fat-9 calories per gram
10
Carbohydrates Simple:Complex: sugarStarch Fruit /Juicepotatoes Milk *Beans and peas CandyGrains such as rice sodaCorn Cakesbread NO NUTRIENTS in these foodsCONTAINS NUTRIENTS
11
Simple Carbs Sugars: Are found naturally in some foods and added to some Refined Sugars: Are added to other foods to make sweet 1. Candy 2. Cake 3. Soda
12
Complex Carbs Starches: Are broken down by the body into sugars Can be used by the body for energy. Most starches come from: 1. Plants 2. Starchy vegetables (potatoes) 3. Legumes (beans and peas) 4. Grains (rice, corn, and wheat)
13
Carbohydrates continued… Glycogen: Quick energy reserve (storage) If becomes full, it will be converted into body fat Fiber: Cannot be digested but is good for intestines and colon. Provides little energy Cannot be digested by humans 1. Soluble fiber traps and remove cholesterol 2. Insoluble fiber helps with removal of waste
14
Fats What is Fat? Essential Nutrient Need it for your body to function properly Gives texture, flavor, aroma, satisfying feeling 25-35 percent of total calorie intake for teens Eating too much Fat or wrong kinds: Increase weight gain Risk of Heart disease Risk of some cancers
15
Fats Saturated Fat: Milk, butter, ice cream, Leads to obesity Unsaturated Fat: olive oil, canola oil, peanut oil, flower oil, soybean oil Can protect from heart disease Trans fats, by product a. May increase the risk of heart disease b. Manufactured butter substitute
16
Cholesterol What is cholesterol? Found only in human and animal tissue. Also made in the body naturally Type of steroid Needed for production of; 1. Vitamin D 2. Cell membranes 3. Hormones 4. Bile which aids in digestion
17
Cholesterol LDL (Bad) Too much cholesterol (LDL) can cause Plak to form on the walls of blood vessels Can cause Heart Attacks due to oxygen restriction HDL (Good) Are linked to a reduced risk of developing heart disease
18
Proteins What is a Protein? Repairs the body and helps create new cells. Needed to form hormones, enzymes, antibodies Can be stored as fat if overconsumption occurs Amino Acid Molecules (11) essential amino acids made in the body naturally (9) essential amino acids must come from our diet
19
Proteins Complete Proteins: Meat, eggs, and dairy. Incomplete Proteins: Beans, grains, and vegetables. Both are necessary in a healthy diet. 10-35% of calories should come from proteins.
20
Exit Slip: On a sheet of paper make two columns. Then label one column simple carbs and the other complex. Now think about the last two meals you ate. Then list each food that you consumed in the appropriate column. You may need to break your meal down. For example, if you had a piece of cheese pizza you would need to list the cheese, and bread separately. Now analyze your list and see if most of your food choices fall into a certain category. Discuss with your elbow partner your findings.
