  9. Digestive System • Digestion • Process of breaking down large foods into smaller molecules of nutrients to be absorbed into the blood and carried to cells throughout the body. • Nutrition – the process in which the body takes in and uses food • http://www.umm.edu/digest/howworks.htm

  10. Food and Energy • When your body uses the _________ in foods, a series of chemical reactions take place inside your cells.

  11. Energy is needed for such things as: • Regulating body ______________ • Keeping your heart beating and your longs breathing • Keeping your _________ _________ • Everything that you do!

  12. 6 Classes of Nutrients • Through Digestion, nutrients serve ______ functions: • Provide Energy (Macro nutrients) • Carbohydrates (1) • Proteins (2) • Fats (3) • Regulating Growth and Repair of Tissues • Proteins • Regulate Body Functions (Micro nutrients) • Vitamins (4) • Minerals (5) • Water (6)

  13. 6 Classes Of Nutrients Through digestion, Nutrients serve 3 functions:

  14. Energy Providing Nutrients • Carbohydrates • ____ calories/gram • Proteins • ____ calories/gram • Fats • ____ calories/gram

  15. The rate at which we burn energy is determined by things such as: • How active we are • Our age • One’s own basil metabolic rate • The temperature of the environment

  16. 1. Carbohydrates (CHO’s) • Major source of ________ for the body • Role of CHO’s: • Turned into glucose (Sugar) that the body uses to produce energy • Unused CHO’s can be stored: • Glycogen- Stored glucose in liver or muscles • Fat- Excess CHO’s that can’t be stored as glycogen are stored as FAT • Can be used for energy when the body needs it • _________ of food should be Carbohydrates

  17. Simple and Complex CHO’s • There are ___ types of carbohydrates: • __________ carbohydrates (Sugars) • Used for quick, immediate energy • Examples: fruits (fructose), some vegetables (maltose), milk (lactose), sugars found in desert foods (no nutritional value) • MYTH: Eat sugar to boost your energy. • FACT: Your blood glucose level peaks initially, but wears off quickly and below normal levels

  18. Sugary carbohydrates found in soft drinks, and candy =empty caloriesSimple sugars = quick burst of energy followed by a __________feelingEating of sugary foods causes the pancreas to secrete an ______________ of insulin in response to the rise in blood glucose level. Result – within an hour of eating, the body feels ______________________________

  19. Simple and Complex CHO’s • Complex carbohydrates (Starches) • Used to supply long-lasting energy • Eating more whole grain CHO’s will cause fewer sugar cravings since CHO’s are a natural source of sugar. If the body does not get enough whole grain CHO’s then it will _______sugary snacks like candies, cakes, etc. • Look for foods that contain at least ____ grams of fiber per serving. • Exa. Of whole grains: bread, cereals, pasta, potatoes, fruit, starchy vegetables • FACT: This provides a slow release of glucose over time (Sustained energy)

  20. Fiber in carbohydrates • _________ is the tough, stringy part of vegetables, fruits, and grains • Complex carbohydrate found in plants • Fiber is not really a ________ because it cannot be broken down and absorbed into the body – they pass out of the body without being digested. However… • Fiber prevents ____________, and may reduce the risk of lower bowel cancer and play a role in preventing heart disease • __________ grain bread and cereals, vegetables, fruits, and seeds provide fiber • 25 grams of fiber is needed daily

  21. Fiber- A Unique CHO • Fiber • Indigestible type of complex carbohydrate • Does not provide Energy • Function: • Helps move waste through digestive system • Helps prevents constipation, heart disease, diabetes and cancers • Eat 20-35 grams of fiber daily

  22. 2. Fat (Lipids) • Role of Fat: is the nutrient that gives us the highest energy • Provides a lot of ____________ in long lasting activities • They help you absorb fat soluble vitamins A,D,E, and K • Aerobic Activities tend to burn BODY FAT
