  2. Two Videos Fed Up - Trailer Fat, sick, and nearly dead - Video

  4. Chapter 5 Lesson 1 Nutrition – the process by which the body takes in and uses food

  5. You are what you eat

  6. Continued…. • Calories – units of heat that measures the energy used by the body and the energy that foods supply to the body • Ex. A snicker candy bar has 11g of fat, 37g of carbohydrates and 5g of protein. How many calories is this bar.

  7. Calories

  8. Continued… • Nutrients – substances in food that your body needs to grow, repair itself, and to supply you with energy. Nutrients are: • Carbohydrates • Proteins • Fats (lipids) • Vitamins • Minerals • Water

  9. Continued…. Hunger – a natural physical drive that protects you from starvation Appetite – a desire, rather than a need, to eat

  10. Thinking Critically Name three influences – other than family –that affect your food choices.

  11. Chapter 5 Lesson 2 Understanding nutrients and their importance

  12. Chapter 5 Lesson 2 • Carbohydrates – the starches and sugars present in food • All carbohydrates are broken down to glucose There are two type of carbohydrates

  13. Simple Carbs – these digest quickly Complex Carbs – these digest slower

  14. Simple vs Complex Carbs • White bread • Oatmeal • Pasta • Brown rice • Banana • Strawberries • Potato • Donut • Apple • Wheat bread

  15. Answers Simple Carbs White bread Banana Strawberry Apple Donut Complex Carbs Oatmeal Pasta Brown rice Potato Wheat bread

  16. Simple vs Complex • Simple carbohydrates (or simple sugars) are made up of one or two sugar units. Table sugar, honey, jelly, fructose (sugar from fruit), lactose (sugar from milk), syrup, candy, and other sweets are all examples of simple carbohydrates. • Complex carbohydrates (or complex sugars) are made up of hundreds or thousands of sugar units. They reside in starchy food, such as pasta, bread, potatoes, cereals, rice, and other grains.

  17. What other type of food contains simple carbohydrates?

  18. Continued… • Fiber – an indigestible complex carbohydrate What are some foods that have fiber?

  19. Foods that contain fiber • Some vegetables, fruits, and whole grains • Oatmeal, bran cereals, and brown rice!!! Why is it better to consume whole fruit instead of fruit juice?

  20. Proteins!!!! Protein – nutrients that help build and maintain body cells and tissues. There are two types of proteins, what are they?

  21. Complete Protein – contains all nine essential amino acids

  22. Examples of Complete Protein • Fish • Meat • Eggs • Milk • Cheese Which is a better source of protein?

  23. Continued Incomplete – lack one or more of the essential amino acids Examples of food….. Peas Whole grains Peanut butter Bread

  24. Why protein???? It helps your body replace damaged or worn out cells by making new ones from protein!

  25. Lipids! What are lipids?

  26. Continued….. Lipids – a fatty substance that does not dissolve in water. Fact: Fat provides more than twice the energy of carbohydrates or proteins. Why is this a true statement?

  27. Saturated vs Unsaturated Saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature. Examples fat from chicken and fish

  28. Unsaturated fats are usually liquids at room temperature Examples cooking oils Is butter saturated or unsaturated? • Which fat (saturated or unsaturated) is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease?

  29. Hydrogenated Fats • Beware of theses fats!!!!! • If a food label has the word hydrogenated (oils or fats) that fat cannot be broken down and overtime can lead to a heart attack! • What % of fat should we intake per day? 20 to 30 percent of out daily calorie intake

  30. Cholesterol A waxy substance that circulates in the blood. High cholesterol can be hereditary or caused by the food you eat.

  31. Vitamins vs. Minerals Vitamins - Compounds that help regulate many vital body processes, including the digestions, absorption, and metabolism of other nutrients. Minerals – substances that the body cannot manufacture but are needed for forming healthy bones and teeth and for regulating many vital body processes.

  32. Vitamins • Handout

  33. Minerals List of MineralsCalcium: Calcium is required for strong bones and teeth. It enhances the process of blood clotting and production of enzymes and helps stabilize blood pressure levels.Iron: Iron is an important component of blood and it plays an important role in transportation of oxygen to cells.Iodine: Iodine is necessary for proper functioning of thyroid gland. It also helps in protein synthesis.Copper: Copper is essential for proper functioning of red blood cells and brain as well.

  34. Sodium: Sodium is required to maintain balance of fluid and alkali levels in the body. It enhances the function of nerves and muscles.Potassium: Potassium also governs fluid levels and helps stabilize blood pressure and heart beats. It also regulates nerve impulses.Zinc: Zinc helps strengthen your immune system and promotes fast healing. It also promotes healthy hair, eyes, skin and nails. It is required for proper sexual development and also for DNA and protein synthesis.Magnesium: It is required for healthy muscles and it enhances the function of nerves. It also helps maintain calcium levels and thus aids to maintain the bone density.Phosphorus: It plays an important role in muscle and nerve function and in the release of energy. It also strengthens your bones and teeth.

  35. Which is the healthier lipid, saturated or unsaturated, and why?

  36. Warm-Up • What is the Food Pyramid?
