1. CHAPTER 8- FOOD AND NUTRITION (SEC 2 & 3)

2. OBJECTIVE  Students will be able to name at least three types of water soluble vitamins, fat soluble vitamins, and minerals and give at least 2 examples of foods that they are present in.

3. WHAT ARE VITAMINS?  Nutrients that are made by living things, they do not provide you with energy or aid in the make up of cells.  They play a role in various chemical reactions in the body ( Example: Vitamin K helps your blood clot).  Your body can make some vitamins (vitamin d), others are supplied in food.  There are two different classes of vitamins ( fat- soluble, and water soluble) and there are Minerals, which occur naturally in rock and soil. We eat them in plants and when eating animals that ate plants.

5. FAT- SOLUBLE VITAMINS  Vitamins A, D, E, K are fat soluble and can be stored by the body.  The absorption of fat soluble vitamins is enhanced by dietary fat, extra vitamins (A,D) are often added to food prepared with fat substitutes so they can be better absorbed.  With the person next to you look through and discuss the fat soluble vitamins you took notes on…what do they have in common source and function wise?

6. WATER SOLUBLE VITAMINS  Vitamins B (1,2,3,6,12), Pantothenic acid, Folic acid, Biotin, C. Mostly found in fruits and vegetables.  Cannot be stored in the body, it is important to eat foods that supply them EVERYDAY. Excess water soluble vitamins are eliminated in urine.  With the person next to you look through and discuss the water soluble vitamins you took notes on…what do they have in common source and function wise?

7. MINERALS  Nutrients that occur in rock and soil, we eat the plants that grow in the soil, or the animals that eat the plants.24 different minerals have been shown to be essential for good health, 7 are needed in significant amounts; calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, chlorine, and sulfur. Others are only needed in trace amounts.  Minerals perform a wide variety of functions. (next slide)  With the person next to you look through and discuss the water soluble vitamins you took notes on…what do they have in common source and function wise?

8. WATER  Everyday you need at least 10 8oz cups of water (female) 14 cups (male)  Fruits & Veggies, juices contain water  Typically drinks that contain caffeine are NOT a good source of water.  Water helps humans maintain HOMEOSTASIS; the process of maintaining a steady state inside your body.  Water regulates body temp (sweat)  contains electrolytes that regulate processes in the cell (i.e. sodium/potassium)

9. HEALTHY EATING Introductory activity: talk with your group and come up with 3 examples from each healthy good group shown on the choosemyplate diagram.

10. TIPS FOR MAKING SMART FOOD AND ACTIVITY CHOICES  Nutrient-dense foods; contain lots of vitamins and minerals relative to the number of calories, low in saturated fat, sugar, trans fats, and salt. -examples: low-fat yogurt, legumes, nuts, raisins, veggies, lean meats, fish, chicken  Half the grains you eat (breads, pastas, rice, crackers) should be WHOLE grains.  Vary your vegetables!!!  Eat a variety of fruits and AVOID fruit juices (sugar)  Get plenty of calcium-rich foods (choose low fat and fat-free)  Vary your choices of protein, choose low-fat or lean meats. (fish, nuts, seeds, beans, peas)  All students need to be active at least 60 minutes per day.  Serving Size PDF (desktop)
