ENERGY

• THE CAPACITY TO DO WORK
• THE CALORIE IS THE AMMOUNT OF HEAT ENERGY
  NECESSARY TO RAISE THE TEMPERATURE OF 1 GRAM OF
  WATER 1 DEGREE CENTIGRADE
• THE NUTRITIONAL CALORIE IS 1000 CALORIES OR THE
  KILOCALORIE

ENERGY BALANCE
INPUT - OUTPUT STORAGE OR DEPLETION
OUTPUT INTERNAL WORK EXTERNAL WORK
INTERNAL WORK ------gt HEAT
4
STORAGE AND/OR DEPLETION

• NUETRAL ENERGY BALANCE OCCURS WHEN INPUT AND
  OUTPUT MATCH
• POSITIVE ENERGY BALANCE OCCURS WHEN INTAKE
  EXCEEDS OUTPUT - ENERGY IS STORED AS GLYCOGEN OR
  FAT
• NEGATIVE ENERGY BALANCE OCCURS WHEN OUTPUT
  EXCEEDS INTAKE- ENERGY STORES ARE DEPLETED

5
FOOD AS STORED FUEL

• 3500 CALORIES 1 LB OF BODY MASS

6
ENERGY INPUT

• 50 GOES TO ATP
• 50 GOES TO HEAT
• CARBOHYDRATE, FAT AND PROTEIN

23
CANCER AND DIET N.R.C.RECOMMENDATIONS

• EAT LESS FAT (30 OR LESS 0F TOTAL CALORIES)
• EAT FRUITS, VEGITABLES, AND WHOLE-GRAIN CEREAL
  FOODS EVERY DAY (ESPECIALLY THOSE HIGH IN
  VITAMINS A AND C)
• AVOID HIGH DOSE SUPPLIMENTS OF VITAMINS OR OTHER
  NUTRIENTS
• ALCOHOL ONLY IN MODERATION

24
SOME WAYS TO CUT DOWN ON FAT

• EAT MORE VEGETARIAN MEALS
• EAT MORE FRESH FRUIT OR YOGURT INSTEAD OF
  DESSERTS
• USE YOGURT AS DRESSING INSTEAD OF OIL
• USE FRESH HERBS INSTEAD OF BUTTER (AND INSTEAD OF
  SALT)

25
TYPES OF VEGETARIAN DIETS

• VEGAN NO ANIMAL PRODUCTS (NEED DIETARY
  SUPPLIMENTS AND VARIED PROTEIN SOURCES)
• LACTO DAIRY PRODUCTS
• LACTO-OVO EGGS

26
FIBER

• ROUGHLY SPEAKING, EVERYTHING IN PLANT FOODS OUR
  DIGESTIVE ENZYMES CAN NOT BREAK DOWN
• NURTURES AEROBIC BACTERIA IN GUT
• SOLUABLE FIBER REDUCES INSULIN NEED IN DIABETICS
• CHELATORS-INCREASE NEED FOR MINERALS

27
TYPES OF FIBER

• PECTINS IN CELL WALL OF FRUITS, BIND BILE SALTS
• GUMS STICKY SUBSTANCES EXUDED BY PLANTS, LOWER
  CHOLESTEROL UPTAKE AND SLOW SUGAR ABSORPTION
• CELLULOSE PLANT CELL WALLS, BULK AND TOXIN
  ELIMINATION
• HEMICELLULOSES PLANT CELL WALLS, BULK
• LIGNIN ROOT VEGETABLES, BULK

28
EFFECT ON MICROFLORA

• LOWER TOTAL ANAEROBIC, IN PARTICULAR,
  CLOSTRIDIUM
• DIET CAN ALTER THE METABOLIC ACTIVITY OF THE
  FLORA
• MEAT AND UNREFINED SUGAR INCREASES UNWANTED
  BACTERIA
• VEGETARIAN DIET LOWERS RISKS OF BOWEL CANCER

29
RECOMMENDED FIBER INTAKE

• 20 - 25 g/day WITH AN UPPER LIMIT OF 35 g/day
• FAMILY HISTORY OF DIET-IMPLICATED CANCER 35-40
  g/day
• DIABETICS UP TO 50 g/day

30
SOURCES OF FIBER

• LEGUMES (ALSO PROTEIN SOURCE)
• FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
• WHOLE GRAIN CEREALS AND FLOURS

31
PROPOSED MECHANISMS FOR FIBER CANCER PREVENTION

• INCREASED FECAL BULK DECREASES CARCINOGEN
  CONCENTRATION
• CHANGE IN FLORA
• SHORTENED TRANSIT TIME DECREASES CONTACT TIME AND
  TIME FOR SYNTHESIS OF TOXINS
• CHANGE IN pH

32
CHELATORS LOWER MINERAL ABSORPTION

• PHYTATES
• OXALATES

33
TEMPERATURE REGULATION

  TEMPERATURE IN CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER

38
CONVECTION

• TRANSFER OF HEAT BY AIR CURRENTS

39
EVAPORATION
