7 nutrients of a balanced diet GCSE PE
The Energy Balance • Calorie consumption = the calories going in to the body from diet (food & drink) • Calorie expenditure = the calories burned by exercise • If calorie expenditure = calories consumption Weight remains the same
The Energy Balance • When calorie expenditure is more than the calorie consumption • When calorie consumption is more than calorie expenditure • Weight will decrease • Weight will increase
Macronutrients Carbohydrate • There are 3 macro nutrients that you need to know. • A Macronutrient just means a big nutrient. • Macronutrients make up around 99% of a healthy balanced diet Protein Fat
Carbohydrate: Profile Function: ALL Carbohydrates provide energy for exercise Simple carbohydrates provide a fast supply of energy to the body. Simple Carbohydrate sources include sugar in sweets, fizzy drinks, some fruits
Carbohydrate: Profile • Function: ALL Carbohydrates provide energy for exercise • Complex carbohydrates provide a steady supply of energy to the body and should be consumed 2 hours before exercise • Complex Carbohydrate sources include pasta, rice, potato & bread
Protein: Profile Function: Protein stimulates growth and repair of muscle tissue • Muscles are made of protein • Consuming protein after exercise will help to stimulate the growth and repair of muscles • Protein sources include meat, fish and dairy products
Fat: Profile • Function: Fats provide a very slow release of energy to the body during exercise • When carbohydrate stores run out, the body will use fat to provide energy during exercise • This can happen in the late stages of a marathon when all your carbohydrates have been used • Sources include oils, nuts
Micro-nutrients Minerals • There are 4 micro nutrients that you need to know. • A Micronutrient just means a small nutrient. • Micronutrients make up just around 1% of a healthy balanced diet but are just as important as macronutrients Vitamins Water Fibre
Minerals: Profile • There are 2 minerals that you must know 1. Calcium • Calcium’s function is to help make strong bones • Milk, cheese and cereals are the main sources of calcium
Minerals: Profile • There are 2 minerals that you must know 2. Iron • Iron’s is found inside red blood cells and its function is to help to carry oxygen • Meat is a good source of iron
Vitamins: Profile • Vitamins are essential to health and are needed for; • Good vision • Good skin • Healing • Vitamin C is found in fruit & veg and helps the body fight infections
Fibre: Profile • Function: Adds bulk to food and helps the digestive system break down food • The digestive system does not work properly without fibre • The main sources of fibre include oats, fruit and vegetables
Water: Profile • Function: To keep the body hydrated during exercise • Water is therefore essential to prevent de-hydrating when exercising. • You should drink plenty of water before and during exercise to replace water lost through sweat
Blood Shunting Blood shunting is when blood flow is redirected to the working muscles during exercise. Blood shunting occurs because the muscles need more oxygen than other parts of the body during exercise Blood is shunted (redirected) to the muscles where oxygen is needed most!
Blood Shunting Blood shunting is when blood flow is redirected to the working muscles during exercise. When you eat a meal, the blood is shunted to the working digestive system meaning that the muscles get less! If you exercise soon after eating it is likely you will get stomach cramps! You should eat 2-3 hours before exercise to prevent this!
