  1. Nutritional Factors in Health and Performance Week 14 An Introduction to Nutritional Requirements. BTEC Level 3 National Certificate / Diploma in Uniformed Public Services. Unit 7 – Physical Preparation and Fitness for the Uniformed Services. Staff Litherland

  2. Session Aims • To explore the effects of lifestyle factors on health and fitness (Assignment 3) Descriptor P2 M2 D1. • To introduce the basics of nutrition and the daily energy requirements for individuals.

  3. Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the session; • All students will be able to list the 7 nutrient groups and identify 2-3 examples of foods within each group. • All students will be able to calculate their daily requirements. • Most students will be able to explain basal metabolic rate (BMR). • Some students will be able to calculate the percentages of nutrients required on a daily basis.

  4. Lifestyle FactorsThe following lifestyle choices impact upon our health and fitness: • Personal Hygiene • Lifestyle • Exercise (Physical Activity) • Alcohol / Drug use / Smoking • Stress • Environment • Diet

  7. Health • Health is physical, mental and social wellbeing, its not just about avoiding disease its about adopting a healthy lifestyle to live healthier, longer lives, and being a positive role model for our children. • (World Health Organisation, 1999)

  8. Define Diet / Nutrition • Healthy eating is about maintaining a balanced diet. This means eating foods from all the different food groups in the right amounts. • NHS, 2009

  9. Nutrition • Nutrition is the study of how the body uses foods and nutrients vital to health, promoting growth, maintenance and reproduction of cells. • In essence it is how what we eat and drink affects our health. • We have a physiological need to eat food. • Food is our fuel to function, like petrol in a car. Activity 2: Unscramble the anagrams on your worksheet to reveal the reasons why we need a balanced diet.

  12. Nutrition • Nutrition is based upon the chemical breakdown of food. • We therefore need to know the content of foods to understand its role and function within our bodies. • Nutrients are required in varying amounts. • A diet must contain adequate amounts of all the essential nutrients.

  14. Essential Nutrients • Carbohydrates • Protein • Fat • Vitamins • Minerals • Water • Fibre (not a nutrient but aids digestion and excretion)

  15. Figure 10.1 www.mypyramid.gov

  16. Key Point • The eatwell plate & MyPyramid.gov are excellent starting points from which to evaluate the adequacy of a diet. • If a diet provides a variety of foods from each group, it is likely adequate for vitamins and minerals. However, if the diet excludes an entire food group, specific nutrients may be lacking.

  17. Acceptable nutrient distribution. The amount of energy each individual needs will depend on their age, gender and lifestyle. Carbohydrates, Protein and fats are macronutrients (nutrients required in significant amounts). Kcals provided per gram Carbohydrates 4kcals Protein 4kcals Fat 9kcals No more than 10% should come from saturated fat. Figure 1. Acceptable macronutrient distribution for carbohydrate, fat and protein (Institute of Medicine 2002).

  20. Weight and Body Composition • Energy Requirements • Energy is commonly measured in kilocalories (kcal or calories). • Energy (caloric) requirement is defined as energy intake equal to expenditure, resulting in constant body weight BMR – Basal Metabolic Rate – the energy required to stay alive, awake, to function and maintain a comfortable body temperature.

  21. Energy Requirements • Factors affecting energy requirements include: • Resting Metabolic Rate (BMR) • Thermic Effect of Food • Physical Activity • Age / Height / Weight (Body Composition) Energy Intake Energy Expenditure

  23. Weight and Body Composition • Energy Requirements • Estimating Energy Requirements • Brooks (2004) recommends calculating BMR by multiplying body weight in pounds by 10. • Activity 7: Calculate and note answer. • Energy needs (including BMR) can be loosely estimated using the guidelines found in table 10.7. • Food diaries could also be used during periods of stable body weight to estimate requirements.

  24. Table 10.7

  25. www.A6training.co.uk Calculate your estimated total daily calorie requirements using the table provided. Extension activity: divide your calories into the percentages recommended for carbohydrates, fats and proteins. (Put your answers under the pie chart.) 1:31 1:59 1:58 1:57 1:56 1:55 1:54 1:53 1:52 1:51 1:50 1:49 1:48 1:47 2:00 1:45 1:46 1:33 1:34 1:35 1:37 1:38 1:36 1:40 1:41 1:42 1:43 1:39 1:32 1:01 1:44 1:29 1:30 1:27 1:26 1:25 1:24 1:23 1:22 1:21 1:20 1:19 1:18 1:17 1:16 1:15 1:28 1:13 1:14 1:00 1:02 1:03 1:05 1:06 1:04 1:08 1:09 1:10 1:11 1:12 1:07 0:52 0:49 0:50 0:51 0:53 0:59 0:55 0:56 0:57 0:58 0:01 0:54 0:48 0:41 0:46 0:44 0:43 0:42 0:40 0:39 0:38 0:37 0:36 0:35 0:34 0:32 0:33 0:47 0:45 0:14 0:15 0:31 0:20 0:17 0:18 0:19 0:21 0:27 0:23 0:24 0:25 0:26 0:28 0:22 0:16 0:10 0:13 0:12 0:11 0:09 0:08 0:07 0:06 0:05 0:04 0:03 0:29 0:02 0:30 End
