Bell WorkBell Work
Paragraph- at least 5 sentencesShare information you know about
calories. Where do calories come from? What are calories? Why do different people have different caloric needs? Why does your caloric needs change from day to day?
Six Main NutrientsSix Main Nutrients
Carbohydrates Main source of energy Dietary Fiber
Proteins Help build, repair, and maintain body tissues. Source of energy
Fats Concentrated form of energy. Transports nutrients
Six Main Nutrients ContinuedSix Main Nutrients Continued
Vitamins Help regulate many vital body processes Chemicals Aid other nutrients
Minerals Nonliving Some minerals become part of body tissue.
Water Essential to life Makes up most of your body weight.
Nutrient TeamworkNutrient Teamwork
All nutrients work together. If one is absent your entire body,
even your health, suffers.
Effects of Poor NutritionEffects of Poor Nutrition
Nutrient deficiencyA severe nutrient shortage
Malnutrition Serious health problems caused by poor
nutrition over a prolonged period.
How Much Do You NeedHow Much Do You Need
Everyone need the same nutrients Not the same amounts
Dietary Reference Intakes “DRIs” A series of standards for assessing nutrient
needs among people of different age and gender groups.
Examples: Recommended Daily Allowances (RDAs), Approximate Nutrient Measures (AIs)
Updated periodically FDA made Daily Values based on these charts
Energy From NutrientsEnergy From Nutrients
We need energy for every day functions
Energy is measured in units called calories
Energy needsNumber of calories needed each day
depends on several factors. These include activity level, age, weight, and gender.
Recommended Calorie Recommended Calorie NeedsNeeds
Teen males, many active men, and some very active women- 2,800 calories
Most children, teen females, active women, many inactive men- 2,200 calories
Many inactive women, and most older adults- 1,600 calories
Recommended Sources of Recommended Sources of CaloriesCalories
Carbohydrates and Proteins each provide 4 calories per gram.
Fats provide 9 calories per gram.Get less than 30 percent of the
calories you take in from fat, approximately 60 percent from carbohydrates, and at least 10 percent from protein.

Carbohydrates
CarbohydratesCarbohydrates
Main source of energy Found mainly in foods from plant sources. Ex.
Fruits, vegetables, grain products, dry beans, peas.
Least expensive form of energy. If you don’t eat enough carbs, your body uses
other forms of energy such as protein and fats. This keeps these nutrients from doing their job.
Two forms of carbohydrates: Simple and Complex
Complex CarbsComplex Carbs
Two subcategoriesStarches Dietary Fiber
StarchFoods that are high in starch are good
sources of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Dietary FiberDietary Fiber
Only form of Carbohydrate that does not provide energy.Nondigestible plant materialsTwo kinds of fiber:
InsolubleSoluble
Most fiber containing food contain both.
Insoluble FiberInsoluble Fiber
Will not dissolve in waterAbsorbs water, contributes bulk to food.Helps food to move through digestive
track at a good rate.Lowers risk of colon cancer.Found in fruit and vegetable skins and in
whole wheat or wheat bran products.
Soluble FiberSoluble Fiber
Dissolves in water. Increases thickness of stomach
contents.May reduce blood cholesterol levels.
How Much?How Much?
American Dietetic Association recommends 20-35 grams per day.To compute during growing years, add
five to your age.Drink plenty of water to avoid
digestive upset.

Simple CarbohydratesSimple Carbohydrates
Also called sugarsThree types (Natural Sugars):
Fructose (Fruits)Maltose (Grain Products)Lactose (Dairy Products)
Refined SugarsExtracted from plants and used as a
sweetener.Do not supply nutrients other than
carbohydrates.Eating large amounts can result in
excess weight.
ActivityActivity

ProteinsProteins
Used mainly by the body to help grow and repair tissues.
About 1/5 of your total weight is protein. Proteins can do their job only if you
consume enough other nutrients. Found in al foods from animal sources. Excess amounts of protein are broken down
and stored in the body as fat.
Complete ProteinsComplete Proteins
Proteins are made of chains of chemical building blocks called amino acids. Your body can make all but nine of
twenty-two amino acids. These nine are called essential amino acids.
Essential amino acids must come from food. Complete Proteins have all nine essential
amino acids. These come from meats, poultry, fish, eggs,
dairy products, and soy products.
Incomplete ProteinsIncomplete Proteins
These are proteins that are missing one or more essential amino acids.
Incomplete proteins come from plant sources. Plant sources of protein generally have
less fat.
Section 3Section 3Fats

Fats
Functions Functions
Called essential fatty acidsPromote healthy skin and normal cell
growth. Carry vitamins A,D,E, and K wherever
needed. Fats stored in the body provide a
reserved supply of energy. Act as a cushion to protect your vital
organs.

Provide FlavorHelp you feel full longer What is the problem then?
We eat too many fats, and the wrongs ones.
This increases the risk of illness.Contributes to obesity.
Foods High in FatFoods High in Fat
Butter Margarine Oils Cream Sour Cream Salad Dressing Fried Foods Some Baked Goods Chocolate
CholesterolCholesterol
Cholesterol is not fat. Needed for essential body processes. Contributes to digestion if fat. Adults manufacture all the cholesterol they
need in the liver. Circulates in the blood stream through
lipoproteins Two kinds of lipoproteins- LDL; HDL
LDLLDL
Low-density lipoproteinChemical that takes cholesterol from
liver to where it is needed in body.Too much LDL causes buildup in
arteries.Also reffered to as “Bad Cholesterol”
HDLHDL
High-density lipoproteinPicks up extra cholesterol and takes it
make to liver.Also reffered to as “Good Cholesterol”

Fatty Acids- Three types.Saturated Fatty AcidsPolyunsaturated Fatty AcidsMonounsaturated Fatty Acids
All foods contain all three types, just varying amounts of each.
Saturated and Unsaturated FatsSaturated and Unsaturated Fats
Saturated Fatty AcidsSaturated Fatty Acids
Raise Levels of LDLFoods high in this fat are:
MeatPoultry SkinWhole Milk Diary ProductsTropical Oils:
Coconut, Palm, and Palm Kernel
Polyunsaturated Fatty AcidPolyunsaturated Fatty Acid
Fats that seem to help lower cholesterol levels.
Foods high in these fats:Vegetable oilCorn oilSoybean oilSafflower oil
Monounsaturated FatsMonounsaturated Fats
Lower LDL and Raise HDLFoods high in these fats:
OlivesOlive oilAvocadosPeanutsPeanut oilCanola oil
Rule of ThumbRule of Thumb
At room temperature:Solid fats- made up mainly of saturated
fatty acids.Liquid Fats- composed primarily of
unsaturated fatty acids.
HydrogenationHydrogenation
Process in which missing hydrogen atoms are added to an unsaturated fat to make it firmer in texture.
Results in trans fatty acids which have many of the same properties as saturated fats.

Fat-solubleA,D,E,and KIs stored in fat in body.
Vitamin SourcesVitamin Sources
Eat plenty of fruits and veggies every day.
Drink Milk.When you eat bread or pasta, choose
enriched whole-grain varieties.
MineralsMinerals
Vital for healthThree types of mineral
Major mineral: needed in relatively large amounts.
Electrolytes: Work to maintain body’s fluid balance.
Trace minerals: equally important, needed in smaller amounts.
CalciumCalcium
Needed for strong bones. Osteoporosis: a disease in which bones
become porous making bones weak and fragile.
Bone Building Tips: Eat plenty of calcium rich foods. Follow basic guidelines for healthy eating. Take part in physical activity. Avoid tobacco products, alcohol, and excessive
caffeine.
IronIron
Essential for making hemoglobin: carries oxygen to cells
Anemia: Nutrient difficiency; tired, weak, short of breath, and pale.
Good Sources: lean red meat; dried beans and peas; dried fruits, grain products; dark, green leafy vegetables.
PhytochemicalsPhytochemicals
Disease fighting nutrients found in plant foods.
Every plan has from 50-100 different phytochemicals.
Beta carotene: believed to prevent some types of cancer.
WaterWater
Most critical to survival. Regulates body temperature.Drink 8 cups per day.

Digestive System
DigestionDigestion
The process of breaking down food into nutrients.
The mouth: digestion starts in the mouth. Saliva breaks down food chemically. Teeth break down food physically.
The Esophagus: Connects mouth to stomach. Muscles contract and relax creating wavelike movements that force foods down into stomach. This process is called peristalsis.
Digestion ContinuedDigestion Continued
The stomach: The widest part of the system. Can hold about 4 cups of food. Walls manufacture gastric juices that chemically break down food. Peristalsis also breaks down food in stomach. A thick liquid is now formed called chyme.
The small intestine: Three digestive juices acts on chyme: Bile: helps digest and absorb fats. Pancreatic juice: breaks down carbs, proteins,
and fats. Intestinal juice: Works with others to break
down food.
Using the NutrientsUsing the Nutrients
After breaking down nutrients, digestion is complete. Body then must absorb nutrients. These nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream and taken to other parts of the body.
The waste is left. It is then moved to the large intestine, also called colon. The colon removes water, potassium, and sodium from waste. The remainder is stored in the rectum until eliminated.
