3. Nutrition

4. OBJECTIVES Students will know the 6 basic nutrients.
Students will understand how proper nutrition affects the health triangle.
Students will be able to explain and describe what each basic nutrient does for the body.

6. Why do You Eat. The body has a physical need for food
Why do You Eat? The body has a physical need for food. Many peoples eating habits are ruled by their appetite. Your eating habits stem from both a physical need for food and a psychological desire. Learning to recognize the difference helps you make more healthy food choices.
Physical Need
Hunger- natural drive which protects you from starvation
When your stomach is empty, its walls contract stimulating nerve ending…THIS IS WHY YOUR STOMACH GROWLS.

7. DESIRE FOR FOOD
Desire for food is called appetite
Appetite is desired– rather than a need.
- Appetite is learned-shaped by emotions & environment.
-Most people eat past the point of feeling full because their appetite continues to be stimulated after their hunger has been satisfied

8. NUTRITION THROUGHOUT LIFE
1. Nutrition-process by which the body takes in & uses food.
a. nutrients in food provide you with substances you need to grow & develop.
1.enables you to have energy, feel & look your best, and stay mentally alert.
2.Prevents chronic diseases-heart disease, stroke, cancers, and diabetes.
b. Calories- A unit of energy.

9. BMR- Basal Metabolic Rate
The number of calories you'd burn if you stayed in bed all day or did not move.
The rate at which the body uses energy while at rest to keep vital functions going, such as breathing and keeping warm.
 a regular routine of cardiovascular exercise can increase your BMR, improving your health and fitness when your body's ability to burn energy gradually slows down (when you get old).

10. 6 Basic Nutrients
Carbohydrates
Fats
Protein
Vitamins
Minerals
Water

11. Carbohydrates- the starches and sugars found in food.
Body’s preferred source of energy
4 calories per gram of carb.
2 TYPES OF CARBS:
Simple- Present in fruits, some veggies and milk.
fructose (fruit)
Sucrose (table sugar)
lactose (dairy products)
Candy, soda, cookies, jelly
Complex- Starches-made from sugars linked together.
Rice, pasta, grain, seeds
Potatoes and yams
During digestion starches break down into sugars

12. Fiber- special form of complex carb that aids in digestion.
Helps waste move through the body
Prevents constipation & appendicitis
Cannot be digested
Whole grain breads, vegetables, fruits and seeds

13. Protein- nutrient that helps build and maintain body tissues
Builds the framework of your body,
including muscles, organs, bones, and connective tissues.
In the form of enzymes, it helps your body digest food.
As a hormone, it tells your body when to use food as energy and when to store it as fat.
It transports oxygen through your blood to your muscles and organs.
As an antibody, it protects you from illness when viruses and bacteria attack.

14. FATS ARE THE MOST CONCENTRATED ENERGY FORM AVAILABLE
FATS ARE THE MOST CONCENTRATED ENERGY FORM AVAILABLE. IT DELIVERS 2 TIMES THE ENERGY OF CARBS OR PROTEIN (9 CALORIES FOR EVERY GRAM OF FAT)
Lipids- fatty substance that does not break down in water 3.
FAT

15. 2 Types of Fat
1. Saturated Fat- BAD FAT
2. Unsaturated Fat- GOOD FAT

16. Saturated Fat: BAD!!! Solid at room temp.
Animal Fat (beef, pork, egg yolks, dairy foods)
Solid at room temp. (ex. animal fat, butter)
Tropical oils- (ex. Palm or Coconut)
Butter and shortening
High intake increases your chance of heart attack/ disease
Tend to be stored rather than burned

17. GOOD FAT- Unsaturated Fat
Liquid at room temp.
Vegetable
olive oils
margarine

18. CHOLESTROL
Cholesterol- fatlike substance produced in liver of all animals- found only in foods of animal origins.
Causes heart and other circulatory diseases.

19. Vitamins
Compounds that help regulate many vital body processes, including digestion, absorption, and metabolism
2 TYPES OF VITAMINS
Water soluble- can’t be stored (ex. C and B)
Fat soluble- stored in fat (ex. A,D,E, & K)

20. Water Soluble Vitamins
Dissolve in water and pass easily through the bloodstream
Vitamin C and all B vitamins
Cannot be stored, but taken in daily. Excess are secreted in urine.

21. FAT SOLUABLE VITAMINS Dissolve in fatty materials
Vitamins A, D, E, and K
Stored in the body’s fat tissue
Occurs naturally in foods.
Vegetable oil
Liver
Eggs

22. Minerals
Inorganic substances that the body can’t manufacture, but act as a catalyst, regulating many vital body functions
Body requires some in large amounts and others as trace minerals (tiny amounts)
Important when growth is rapid as teens
Essential for hemoglobin
Iron
Iodine
copper

23. Most important mineral=Calcium
Develops and maintains bone strength
Found in dairy products and green leafy vegetables
Aids in muscle contraction, blood clotting, functions of nervous system
Comes from: milk and most dairy products, leafy green vegetables
Helps weight loss
Harvard research showed that those that got daily recommendation of calcium were 60% less likely to be overweight
Calcium seems to limit the amount of new fat that your body can produce
Lack of calcium leads to osteoporosis- bones become
brittle and weak

24. 6. Water- A regulator and vital to everybody’s function.
Carries nutrients and transports waste from cells
Lubricates joints
Enables you to digest food
Your body uses up to 10 cups of water daily
Water is the nutrient that makes up the greatest percentage of the body
Should drink 6-8 cups daily
