3. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 3 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Food and Energy You need to eat food to obtain energy. The energy in food is measured in Calories (capital C). One Calorie is equal to 1000 calories. One calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.

4. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 4 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Food and Energy Caloric needs vary for each person. An average-sized female teenager needs about 2200 Calories a day. An average-sized male teenager needs about 2800 Calories a day. If you exercise regularly, your energy needs may be higher.

5. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 5 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Nutrients are substances in food that supply the energy and raw materials your body uses for growth, repair, and maintenance.

6. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 6 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients What are the nutrients your body needs?

7. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 7 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients The nutrients that the body needs are: water carbohydrates fats proteins vitamins minerals

8. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 8 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Water Why is water such an important nutrient?

9. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 9 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Every cell in the human body needs water because many of the body's processes take place in water.

10. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 10 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Water makes up blood, lymph, and other bodily fluids. Water is lost during sweating, when it evaporates to cool the body. Water vapor is also lost from the body with every breath you exhale and in urine. Humans need to drink at least one liter of water each day.

11. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 11 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the body. There are two types of carbohydrates: simple complex

12. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 12 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Simple carbohydrates are found in fruits, honey, and sugar cane. Simple carbohydrates do not need to be digested or broken down.

13. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 13 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Complex carbohydrates, or starches, are found in grains, potatoes, and vegetables. Complex carbohydrates need to be broken down before they can be used by the body. Many foods contain the complex carbohydrate cellulose, or fiber.

14. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 14 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Fiber is needed in your diet. Bulk supplied by fiber helps muscles keep food and wastes moving through your digestive and excretory systems. Whole-grain breads and many fruits and vegetables have fiber.

15. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 15 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Fats Fats, or lipids, are an important part of a healthy diet. Fats are formed from fatty acids and glycerol.

16. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 16 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Fats are needed: to produce cell membranes, myelin sheaths around neurons, and certain hormones. to help the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. to protect body organs and insulate the body.

17. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 17 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Fats are classified as saturated or unsaturated. When there are only single bonds between carbon atoms in the fatty acids, the fat is saturated. Most saturated fats are solids at room temperature— including butter and other animal fats.

18. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 18 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Unsaturated fats have at least one double bond in a fatty acid chain. Unsaturated fats are usually liquids at room temperature. Because many vegetable oils contain more than one double bond, they are called polyunsaturated.

19. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 19 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Proteins Proteins supply raw materials for growth and repair of structures such as skin and muscle. They have regulatory and transport functions.

20. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 20 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Proteins are polymers of amino acids. The body can synthesize only 12 of the 20 amino acids used to make proteins. The other 8 amino acids are called essential amino acids; they must come from food.

21. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 21 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Animal products, including meat, fish, eggs, and milk, contain all 8 essential amino acids. Foods derived from plants, such as grains and beans, do not. Therefore, people who don’t eat animal products must eat a combination of plant foods to obtain all of the essential amino acids.

22. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 22 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Vitamins Vitamins are organic molecules that help regulate body processes, often working with enzymes. Most vitamins must be obtained from food. A diet lacking certain vitamins can have serious, even fatal, consequences.

23. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 23 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients There are two types of vitamins: fat-soluble water-soluble The fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K can be stored in the fatty tissues of the body. The body can build up stores of these vitamins for future use.

24. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 24 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients Fat-Soluble Vitamins

25. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 25 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrients The water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water and cannot be stored in the body. Eating a diet containing a variety of foods will supply the daily vitamin needs of nearly everyone.

34. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 34 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrition and a Balanced Diet A food label provides information about nutrition. Daily values are based on a 2000-Calorie diet, and nutrient needs are affected by age, gender, and lifestyle.

35. End Show 38–1 Food and Nutrition Slide 35 of 41 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Nutrition and a Balanced Diet When choosing foods, you should compare similar foods on the basis of their proportion of nutrients to Calories. When you choose a food, it should be high in nutrition and low in Calories.
