Title: Nutrition
1Nutrition
2What is Nutrition?
- Nutrition- The process by which the body takes in
and uses food. - Calories- Units of heat that measure the energy
used by the body and the energy that food supply
to the body. - Nutrients- Substances in food that your body
needs to grow, to repair itself, and to supply
you with energy
3Metabolism, What is it and What does it do?
- Metabolism converts the fuel in the food we eat
into the energy needed to power everything we do. - From moving to thinking to growing.
4Gaining and Losing Weight
- Just as a car stores gas in the gas tank until it
is needed to fuel the engine, the body stores
calories - primarily as fat. If you overfill a
car's gas tank, it spills over onto the pavement.
Likewise, if a person eats too many calories,
they "spill over" in the form of excess fat on
the body.
5Gaining and Losing Weight
- The number of calories a person burns in a day is
affected by 1) How much that person exercises, 2)
The amount of fat and muscle in his or her body,
and 3) The person's Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
6Basal Metabolic Rate
- Basal Metabolic Rate, or BMR, is a measure of the
rate at which a person's body "burns" energy, in
the form of calories, while at rest. - BMR is the minimal amount of calories the body
needs to survive. - The BMR can play a role in a person's tendency to
gain weight.
7What factors influence a persons BMR?
- To a certain extent, a person's basal metabolic
rate is inherited - Exercising more will not only cause a person to
burn more calories directly from the extra
activity itself, but becoming more physically fit
will increase BMR as well. - People with more muscle and less fat generally
have higher BMRs.

- Lesson 2
- Pg. 114-118
11Nutrients
- Objective 1 Describe the functions of the simple
and complex carbohydrates - Objective 2 Describe the relationship between
glucose and glycogen - Objective 3 Identify some of the benefits of
fiber
12What is a Carbohydrate?
- Carbohydrates (Carbs)- The starches and sugars
found in foods. - Made up of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen
- The bodys preferred source of energy
- Carbs provide, 4 calories per 1 gram
13Carbohydrates
- Your body uses the energy from the carbs
everyday, for every task. - Depending on their chemical make-up there are 2
types - Simple
- Complex
- 55-60 of your daily calories should come from
complex carbs.
14Simple Carbohydrates
- What are simple carbohydrates?
- Also know as EMPTY CALORIES
- Sugars fructose and lactose
- Found primarily in fruit and milk
- Most familiar Sucrose
- Found naturally plants
- Refined to make table sugar
- Sucrose is also added to manufactured foods

17Corn, Bad for you? How?
- Article
- Read quietly to yourself
- The vast majority of the high fructose corn syrup
containing 55 fructose is used to sweeten
carbonated soft drinks and other flavored
beverages. Minor amounts are used in frozen dairy
products. Essentially all foods listing high
fructose corn syrup as an ingredient contain the
syrup with 42 fructose. The 95 fructose corn
syrup is becoming more common in beverages,
canned fruits, confectionery products and dessert
syrups. - Now, a quarter of the 45,000 items in the
average supermarket contain processed corn, often
in the form of high-fructose corn syrup. - Thats11,250 products
18Complex Carbohydrates
- What are complex carbohydrates?
- Starches
- Found primarily in whole grains, nuts, seeds,
legumes and tubers (root veggies) - Did you know?
- Your body must break down complex carbs to simple
carbs before it can use them for energy
19Complex Carbohydrates
20The Role Of Carbohydrates
- Your body converts all carbs to Glucose
- A simple sugar thats the main source of energy
for our bodies - The glucose that is not used is stored in the
liver and muscles as a starch-like substance
called glycogen. - When your body needs more energy the glycogen is
converted back to glucose. - Excess carbs taken in and not used are converted
to body fat
21Fiber, What is it? What does it do?
- Is an indigestible complex carbohydrate that is
found in tough, stringy parts of vegetables,
fruits and whole grains. - Fiber helps move waste through the digestive
system and helps prevent against constipation. - Why fiber reduces the risk of early death is
unclear. Perhaps it's because fiber lowers levels
of "bad" LDL cholesterol, improves blood glucose
levels, reduces inflammation, and binds to
potential cancer-causing agents, helping to flush
them out of the body, says lead author Yikyung
Park, a staff scientist at the National Cancer
Institute. (article from us news.com)
22Fiber
- Did you know?
- That if you eat enough fiber throughout your
life, it can help prevent against heart disease! - It can also help control diabetes by reducing
your blood glucose levels - Eat between 20-35 grams of fiber a day!
- Sources
- Fruit
- Vegetables w/edible skins
- Whole grains
- Bran, cereal, oatmeal, brown rice
23How to get the Proper amount of Fiber
- Start your day with a whole grain breakfast
cereal Oatmeal! - Choose whole fruit instead of fruit juice
- Eat 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day!
- Select high-fiber snacks
- Popcorn (no butter), raw veggies, nuts, apples,
pears, peaches, plums (edible skin)
24NutritionProtein
25Analyzing Protein
- Objective 1 Identify the role of protein in your
body - Objective 2 Be able to identify where you could
obtain the 9 essential amino acids - Objective 3 Give an example of how to make
incomplete proteins complete by combining foods
26Review from Lesson 2
- What are simple carbohydrates?
- Sugars glucose, fructose, lactose
- Examples?
- Fruits, Milk, Cake, Candy, Pop
- What are complex carbohydrates?
- Starches
- Examples?
- Whole grains, seeds, nuts, legumes, tubers
- The body must break down__________ carbohydrates
into ___________carbohydrates before it can use
them for energy. - Complex/simple
27Protein, What is it? How does it work?
- Protein
- Nutrients that help build and maintain body cells
and tissues - Made up of chains called, Amino Acids
- Your body can manufacture all but 9 of the 20
different amino acids that make up proteins. - These 9 amino acids are known as Essential Amino
Acids - So where do we get them?
28Complete Proteins
- Complete Proteins
- Contain adequate amounts of all nine essential
amino acids. - Found in animal products
- Fish
- Meat
- Poultry
- Eggs
- Dairy Products milk, cheese, yogurt

30Vegetarians
- Do not eat meat
- There is a difference between vegetarians and
vegans. What is it? - May have a challenge getting protein, so how do
they? - Eggs, Milk, Cheese, Yogurt
- Beans, legumes, grains, nuts, seeds
- Combining foods carefully is the key
- Ex Legumes Grains
- Ex Nuts Seeds
31Incomplete Proteins
- Incomplete Proteins
- Lack one or more of the essential amino acids
- Sources
- Beans, peas, nuts, and whole grains
- If you were to combine peanut butter and bread,
that would give you a complete protein - You dont have to combine the incomplete proteins
in one meal, you just need to eat them over the
course of the day!
32Role of Proteins
- Proteins have many functions including
- During major growth periods such as adolescence,
puberty, pregnancy, the body builds new cells
and tissues from the amino acids in proteins. - Throughout your life your body replaces damaged
or worn-out cells by making new ones from
protein.
33Role of Proteins
- Your body also produces enzymes, hormones and
antibodies from proteins. - Proteins help supply your body with energy, even
though they are not the main source. - Proteins, like carbs, provide 4 calories per
every 1 gram. - Excess protein is converted to body fat
34NutritionFats/Vitamins/Minerals
35Fats/Vitamins/Minerals
- Objective 1 Compare and contrast saturated,
unsaturated and trans fatty acids - Objective 2 Understand cholesterol and the
difference between HDL and LDL - Objective 3 Identify the two types of vitamins
and their benefits - Objectives 4 Identify and explain the benefits
of minerals
36Fats
- Fats are a type of lipid
- Lipid- A fatty substance that does not dissolve
in water - Fats provide more than TWICE the energy of carbs
or proteins - 9 calories 1 gram
37Fats
- The building blocks of fats are called fatty
acids - Fatty acids that your body needs but cannot
produce are called essential fatty acids - Classified as 2 types depending on their chemical
composition - Saturated
- Unsaturated
- Most fats are a mixture of both types
38Saturated Fatty Acids
- Saturated fatty acids hold all the hydrogen atoms
they can, meaning they are solid at room
temperature - Examples Animal fats/tropical oils
- Palm oil, Coconut oil
- Beef, pork, egg yolks, and dairy foods are higher
in saturated fat than chicken and fish. - High intake of saturated fat increased risk of
heart disease
39Unsaturated Fatty Acids
- Unsaturated fatty acids have 1 unsaturated bond,
meaning they have room to add hydrogen. - Examples Vegetable fats
- Olive, canola, soybean, corn and cottonseed oils
- Typically liquids (oils) at room temperature
- Increase in unsaturated fatty acids lower risk
of heart disease
402 Types of Unsaturated Fat
- Monounsaturated
- Have only one unsaturated bond
- Are liquid at room temperature
- Solidify when refrigerated
- Examples
- Olive Oil
- Canola Oil
- Polyunsaturated
- Have more than one unsaturated bond
- Liquid at room temp and in the refrigerator
- Examples
- Safflower Oil
- Corn Oil
41Trans-Fats/ Hydrogenated Oils
- Trans fatty Acids
- Trans fats (or trans fatty acids) are created in
an industrial process that adds hydrogen to
liquid vegetable oils to make them more solid.
Another name for trans fats is partially
hydrogenated oils." - Trans fats give foods a desirable taste and
texture. - Inexpensive to produce and lasts a long time
- Examples
- Fried Foods (Fries, Doughnuts, Chicken)
- Baked Goods (Pie crust, cookies, crackers,
margarine)
42Cholesterol
- Cholesterol
- A waxy lipid-like substance that circulates in
blood. - Cannot dissolve in your blood, carried by
lipoproteins - 2 major types
- LDL- Low Density ?bad
- HDL- High Density ? good
- A high intake saturated fat can lead to an
increase in cholesterol

44Role of Fats
- Fats are essential to transport vitamins, A,D,E,
and K in your blood. - They serve as sources of linoleic acid, an
essential fatty acid that is needed for growth
and healthy skin. - Fats add texture and flavor to foods
- Help satisfy hunger longer than carbs and
proteins - No more than 20-30 of your daily caloric intake
45Vitamins
- Vitamins
- Are compounds that help regulate many vital body
processes including - Digestion, absorption, and metabolism of other
nutrients. - 2 types Water or Fat soluble
- Water- Dissolve in water, and pass easily into
the blood during digestion. (figure 5.1) - Ex Vitamins C, B1, B2, Niacin, B6, B12, Folic
Acid - Fat- Absorbed, stored and transported in fat (Fig
5. 2) - Ex Vitamins A, D, E, and K
46Minerals/Water
- Minerals
- Substances that the body cannot manufacture but
are needed to form healthy bones and teeth. - Ex Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Iron
- Water
- Vital to our everyday body function
- Lubricates your joins and mucous membranes
- Drink 8 cups a day
- Some beverages (caffeine, juice) cause us to lose
some of the water through increased urination. - Some fruits and vegetables contain water
