NUTRITION - is the science that studies how the body makes use of food DIET - is everything you eat and drink NUTRIENTS - are the substances in food CALORIES – See the next slide
3
A calorie is a unit of energy produced by food and used by the body There are 3500 calories in a pound ◦ Fat: 1 gram = 9 calories ◦ Protein: 1 gram = 4 calories ◦ Carbohydrates: 1 gram = 4 calories
4
Substance that must be obtained from the diet because the body cannot make it in sufficient quantity to meet its need: ◦ Carbohydrates ◦ Protein ◦ Fat ◦ Vitamins ◦ Minerals ◦ Water
5
Your body's main source of energy. Most calories (55-60%) should come from carbohydrates. Carbohydrates can be grouped into two categories: Simple and Complex. ◦ Simple Carbohydrates = Sugars ◦ Complex Carbohydrates = Starch & Dietary fiber.
6
Grain products ◦ Breads ◦ Cereals ◦ Pasta ◦ Rice Fruits Vegetables
7
Needed for growth; building and repair or body tissues The “building blocks” of the body Secondary energy source
8
2 Kinds of Proteins: Complete Proteins: Contains all of the essential amino acids Incomplete Proteins: Do NOT contain all the essential amino acids Come from Animals Meat - fish, poultry Milk Yogurt Eggs Come from Plants Grains Legumes-Dry Beans Nuts Seeds
9
2 Types: Saturated and Unsaturated Maintains skin and hair Cushions vital organs Provides insulation Production and absorption of certain vitamins and hormones.
10
Animal-based foods ◦ Meats ◦ Milk products ◦ Oils Nuts ◦ Peanut butter
11
Help to regulate chemical reactions in the body. Vitamins cannot be made in the body, we must obtain them through the diet. Vitamins are best consumed through a varied diet rather than as a supplement because there is little chance of taking too high a dose. Vitamins come from a variety of sources ◦ Eat a assorted & colorful diet!
12
Minerals are components of foods that are involved in many body functions. Minerals are not a source of energy and are best obtained through a varied diet rather than supplements. Minerals come from a variety of foods
13
Water helps to control our body temperature, carries nutrients and waste products from our cells, and is needed for our cells to function. Most of our body weight (60-70%) is made up of water. Drink at least 64 oz. per day How do you know if you are drinking enough water? ◦ Clear urine
14
Serving Size – The amount of food, such as 1 cup of cereal, 2 cookies, or 12 pretzels. It tells you how many nutrients are in that amount of food. What is the serving size for this food? ◦ Answer - ½ Cup How many serving are in this container? ◦ Answer - 4 Servings How many calories are in 1 serving of this food? ◦ Answer – 90 Calories How many calories are in 3 serving of this food? ◦ Answer – 270 Calories Using the Percent Daily Value ◦ Low = 5% or less of the Daily Value ◦ Moderate = 6%-19% of the Daily Value ◦ High = 20% or more of the Daily Value
15
Analyze the nutritional value of this food. ALL nutrients with a percent daily value should be listed in the chart List both the nutrient AND the percentage
16
McDonald's Big Mac
17
10 point Assessment Please read the directions CAREFULLY!!! Turn your paper over when you are done
18
Featuring MyPlate and the 2010 Dietary Guidelines
19
MyPlate is a tool designed to remind Americans to eat healthfully MyPlate illustrates the five food groups using a familiar mealtime visual, a place setting
20
Balancing Calories ◦ Enjoy your food, but eat less. ◦ Avoid oversized portions. Foods to Increase ◦ Make half your plate fruits & vegetables. ◦ Make at least half your grains whole. ◦ Switch to low-fat (1%) or fat-free (skim) milk. Foods to Reduce ◦ Choose foods that have less sodium. ◦ Drink water instead of sugary drinks.
21
Build a Healthy Plate by Choosing… Nutrient-dense foods A variety of fruits and vegetables in a rainbow of colors. Fiber-rich whole grains Low-fat or fat free milk and dairy products. Protein foods that are low in fat.
22
SOLID FATS –Saturated fat & trans fat heart disease –Replace with healthy unsaturated fat ADDED SUGAR –Sugar adds calories weight gain –Choose water, 100% juice over soda SALT (SODIUM) –Raises blood pressure hypertension –Processed foods, fast food, frozen meals –Season with spices and herbs instead of salt
23
TOO HIGH in: o Saturated fat o Sodium o Sugar TOO LOW in: o Whole grains o Calcium o Fiber Such a diet increases the risk of diseases, including: ◦ Heart Disease ◦ Diabetes ◦ Cancers (colon, prostate, mouth, throat, esophagus, lung, stomach) ◦ Osteoporosis
24
A serving is a measured amount of food or drink, such as one slice of bread or one cup of milk. A portion is the amount of food that you choose to eat for a meal or snack. It can be big or small—you decide. Many foods that come as a single portion actually contain multiple servings.
