  1. Nutrition By Peggy Kuo

  2. Fats • Helps brain & nervous system develop • build blocks of hormones • insulate nervous system tissue • Nuts, oils, butter, most beverage, sweets & meats • toddlers need whole milk, older kids low-fat or skim milk • older than 2 should get 30% daily cals from fat

  3. Fats (con) • naturally occurring soft greasy solids that are esters of glycerol & certain fatty acids, present in plants & in adipose tissue of animals, forming reserve energy source, used in making soap & paint & in food industries • Unsaturated fats • Trans fats "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" oils

  4. Protein • builds up, maintains, & replaces the tissues in body • helps move legs, lungs, &protect from disease • Other proteins build cardiac muscle • Meats, eggs, dairy products, nuts, seeds, & legumes • digestive juices & intestine break down the protein into basic units; amino acids reused to make proteins body needs 22 are important to human health, body can make 13, other 9 get by eating protein-rich foods adults need about 60 grams/day • kids need about 0.5/pound they weigh

  5. Protein (con) • any large group of nitrogenous compounds of high molecular weight  essential constituents of all living organisms • consist chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds & are folded into a specific three-dimensional shape, maintained by further chemical bonding • Complete contains nine essential amino acids • Incomplete lacks one or more essential amino acids

  6. Carbohydrate • energy to cells in body & fuel basal metabolic rate, activity levels • Soft drinks, pastries, fruit, whole grain, root vegetables, junk food • body breaks down into simple sugars major source of energy for body • better get simple sugars from fruit & milk… • Simple sugars are absorbed into bloodstream • pancreas releases insulin, needed to move sugar from blood into cells used as source of energy • four groups; monosaccharide, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides

  7. Carbohydrate (con) • group of organic compounds includes sugars, starches, celluloses, & gums serves as major energy source in diet of animals • Compounds produced by photosynthetic plants & contain carbon, hydrogen, & oxygen, in ratio 1:2:1 • Simple carbohydrates ( simple sugars) • Complex carbohydrates(starches)

  8. Fibre • help lower blood cholesterol, prevent diabetes & heart disease • combines with carbohydrates slows absorption of sugar & regulates insulin response • discourages overeating • help move food through digestive system  healthy bowel function & protecting against constipation • Fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds and pulses • refers to carbohydrates that cannot be digested • no calories • girls (14 to 18 years) should get 25 grams/day • boys (14 to 18 years) should get 31 gram/day

  9. Fibre (con) • fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes, whole-grain • The parts of food that contains cellulose & aren’t digested by body  helps intestines absorb water increases bulk of stool & causes it to move quickly through the colon • Soluble fiberdissolves in water & to lower cholesterol • Insoluble fiber helps with constipation

  10. Vitamins • Helps body develop • Vegetables, nuts, grain, meat & protein, legumes • Vitamin A in carrots helps see at night • Vitamin C in oranges helps body heal when get cut • B vitamins in leafy green vegetables helps body make protein & energy • Vitamin E protects cells & tissues from damage & health of red blood cells • Vitamin K  clotmaster

  11. Vitamins (con) • organic compounds that are essential for normal growth & nutrition & required in small quantities in the diet because they cannot be synthesized by the body • fat soluble stored in fat tissues & in liver • Vitamins A, D, E, & K • water soluble travel through bloodstream, whatever body doesn't use comes out when urinate vitamin C & big group of B vitamins & pantothenic acid • Vitamin D in milk helps bones

  12. Water • In human body CRITICAL ROLE IN REGULATING BODY TEMPERATURE CARRIES NUTIRENTS THROUGHOUT BODY IMPROVES DIGESTION ELIMATES WASTE & TOXINS • Water, beverages: soup, milk, juices, alcoholic bev • 3.575 million people die/ year from water-related disease • 70% of adult’s body is made out of water • colorless, transparent, odorless, tasteless liquid that forms seas, lakes, rivers, & rain, basis of fluids of living organisms

  13. Water (con) • Types •  boiled water •  hard water •  raw water •  rain water •  snow water •  filtered water •  soft water •  reverse osmosis •  de-ionized water •  distilled water
