3. Objectives: – The students will explain the six major nutrients. – The students will explain the breakdown of foods and absorption of nutrients by the body. Vocabulary: – Nutrition – Nutrients – Carbohydrates – Fats – Proteins – Vitamins – Minerals – Water – Nutrient Deficiency

4. Nutrition is the study of how your body uses the food you eat.

5. A nutrient is a chemical substance in the body that helps maintain the body.

6. Your body needs over 50 different nutrients which can be divided into 6 classes: – Carbohydrates – Fats – Proteins – Vitamins – Minerals – Water

7. Carbohydrates Functions – Provides body main source of energy – Produces glucose – used immediately or stored – Provide bulk – Helps the body digest fats Sources: – Sugars - honey, jam – Starch sources - breads, cereals, pasta – Fiber sources - fruits, vegetables, whole grains

8. Carbohydrates Types – Simple Carbohydrates/Sugars Include sugars found naturally in foods such as fruits, vegetables, and milk products. Simple carbohydrates also include sugars added during food processing and refining. – Complex Carbohydrates Starch and dietary fiber. Starch must be broken down through digestion before your body can use it as a glucose source.

9. Carbohydrates

10. Fats Functions – Provides energy – Carries fat- soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) – Protects vital organs and provides insulation – Provides essential fatty acids Types – Fatty Acids – Cholesterol Fats are compounds of many types of fatty acids and a body chemical called glycerol.

11. Fats Types – Fatty Acids Saturated Fat – found in animal and dairy products – Raises LDL Polyunsaturated – found in olive peanut oils – Decreases LDL Monounsaturated – found in corn and vegetable oils – Decreases LDL – Increases HDL – Cholesterol Low density lipoproteins – LDL - ”bad cholesterol” High density lipoproteins – HDL - ”good cholesterol”

12. Some “Fat” Examples Cheese Butter Nuts Meats Dressings Chocolate What other fat examples can you identify?

13. Proteins Functions – Build and repair tissues – Helps the body to make important substances – Regulate body processes – Supply energy Types – Complete: contains adequate amounts of all essential amino acids – Incomplete: Lacks some amino acids

14. Proteins Sources Complete – Meat – Milk – Eggs – Fish Incomplete – Nuts – Legumes Complex carbohydrates are broken down into glucose more slowly than simple carbohydrates. This provide the body with a gradual steady stream of energy throughout the day.

15. Think Nutritionally Are following all sources of energy, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats? True – thumbs up False – thumbs down

16. Motivational Quote Nutrition and Wellness Challenge This week let’s increase our cardiovascular activity. Try to go for a walk, run, bike ride, or etc at least twice.

18. Red meat is an example of which form of energy? – Fat – Carbohydrate – Protein Is eating red meat healthy? – Let’s find out….

19. Can be divided into two main categories Fat-soluble vitamins – dissolve in fats – can be stored in fatty tissues of the body Water-soluble vitamins – dissolve in water – are not stored in the body

20. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body's cells and are not excreted as easily as water-soluble vitamins. They do not need to be consumed as often as water- soluble vitamins, although adequate amounts are needed. If you take too much of a fat-soluble vitamin, it could become toxic. Your body is especially sensitive to too much vitamin A from animal sources (retinol) and too much vitamin D. A balanced diet usually provides enough fat-soluble vitamins.

23. Has anyone every heard of this new diet trend?

24. Water-soluble vitamins travel freely through the body, and excess amounts usually are excreted by the kidneys. The body needs water-soluble vitamins in frequent, small doses. These vitamins are not as likely as fat-soluble vitamins to reach toxic levels.

26. Minerals can also be divided into two categories: Macrominerals are needed in amounts of 100 mg or more per day. Trace elements are needed in amounts less than 100 mg per day.

29. Water Functions – Aids digestion and cell growth and maintenance – Facilitates chemical reactions – Lubricates joints and cells – Regulates body temperature – Overall well-being Sources – Water – Milk – Fruits and Vegetables – Other Liquids – Some Foods

31. As with everything, too much of any one thing is not good for you and the same thing goes for nutrients. Excess energy nutrients - carbohydrates, fats, and proteins - can lead to unhealthy weight gain. Excesses of some vitamins and minerals can lead to toxicity (poisoning) and other complications.
