Question
Answer
study of nutrients and the way the body processe them   nutrition  
🗑
Daily Reference Intake   DRI  
🗑
established to prevent aute deficiency diseases   DRI's & RDA's  
🗑
being revised to prevent or delay the onset of chronic diseases   DRI's and the RDAs  
🗑
todays primary nutrition-related problem   early onset of chronic diseases  
🗑
Nutriens that cannot be made by the diet and must be supplied by the det   Essential Nutrients  
🗑
carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamins, minerals, & water (C,F, P, V, M, & H2O   Essential Nutrients  
🗑
Fats, Carbs, & proteins   Energy Producing nutrients  
🗑
which supplies the body with calories   fats, carbs, & Proteins  
🗑
a measure of food energy =   calorie  
🗑
the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a gram of water 1 degree centrigrade   calorie  
🗑
A gram of carbohydrate or protein =   provides 4 calories of energy  
🗑
a gram of fat =   provides 9 calories  
🗑
a gram of alcohol =   7 calories ...BUT is not an essential nutrient  
🗑
10 grams of protein + 10 grams of carbs =   80 calories  
🗑
40% should be in form of carbs 50% should be COMPLEX CaRBS   should actually be 75%  
🗑
>25 - 30% of calories should come from ?   FAT  
🗑
15 - 20% of calories should come from ?   PROTEiN  
🗑
40/30/30   OVERALL carbs/fats/proteins  
🗑
Monosaccharides   SIMPLE sugars = "OSE" = broken down quickly  
🗑
Polysaccharides   COMPLEX = whole grain, high fiber, starches help to maintain normal blood sugar levels  
🗑
Carbohydrates   sugars and starches from plants  
🗑
glycemic index    
🗑
Protein   15 - 20% should come from ... (LEAN)  
🗑
complete proteins   contain all amino acids  
🗑
high-quality proteins   contain amino acids in the proportion needed by body to build & repair tissue (usually found in meat & dairy)  
🗑
animal products are   COMPLETE PROTEINS  
🗑
of the 20 amino acids   9 are essential & must come from the diet  
🗑
Incomplete proteins   do NOT contain amino acids in proportions needed (plant foods)  
🗑
Complete proteins (non-meat)   Legumes, such as soy  
🗑
average daily protein requirements   .36 grams per lb of body weight of protein per day or 1/3 to 1/2 of body weight in grams of protein  
🗑
excess protein is stored as   fat (high protein intakes strains te kidneys, and causes the body to excrete calcium  
🗑
Fats   (lipids) are composed of chains of carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms attached  
🗑
greater the hydrogenated fat is =   more saturatd fat = leads to cardiovascular disease should have NO MORE THAN 10%  
🗑
Saturated fats   carry all the hydrogen atoms they can  
🗑
Mono-unsaturated   have room for 2 hydrogen atoms  
🗑
polyunsaturated fats   have room for 4 or more hydrogen atoms (HAVE MOST BENEFITS) however, still need to keep >35%  
🗑
body requires 3 calories to   digest 100 calories of dietary fat  
🗑
body requires 23 - 27 calories to   digest 100 calories of carbs (carbs are more efficient fuel)  
🗑
Hydrogenated products   have hydroen toms added into them so that they are more resistant to spoilage (increases shelf life)  
🗑
hydrogenation =   a new type of fat called transfatty acids = saturated fats  
🗑
find the hidden fat in a label!   if it says Total fat 12 g and ten lists sat fat 6 g & poly 1.5 & mono 2.5 = 10 where are the other 2?  
🗑
Vitamins   organic compounds necessary in small amounts for good health - THEY DO NOT SUPPLY ENERGY however they help you process evrything better  
🗑
Fat-soluable vitamins   A, D, E, ad K (excess amounts are stored in the body. (75% people DONT get enough "D" = sunshine!)  
🗑
Antioxidat vitamins   C, E & carotiens (HELP neutralize the activity of free radicals  
🗑
free radicals   cause cellular damage that contribute to disease  
🗑
how much vit C   150- 500 and the rest gets peed ut!  
🗑
Healthy adults who eat a variety of foods   DO NOT NEED VITAMIN SUPP  
🗑
Exceptions for peeps that need vtamins   -over 65 -consume >1000 calories -have digestive tract disease -smoke, drink alcohol excessviely -are pregnant or lactating -are vegetarians  
🗑
Minerals   inorganic compounds that fullfill a variety of functions in the body  
🗑
macrominerals   (major minerals) arerequired in large amounts - MORE than 100 grams per day!  
🗑
microminerls   (trace minerals) are required in mall amounts LESS tan 100 per day  
🗑
Calcium/Iron   minerals most commonly deficient especially in women calcium isnt absorbed effciently without Vitamin D  
🗑
Vegetarians tend to b lethargic because   usually IRON deficient  
🗑
DASH DIET   similar to glycemic diet  
🗑
Water   next to air, water is substance most necessary for survival -60% of body = H2O -recommended 8 -12 cups -1/2 bdy weight in ounces drinking COLD H2O can burn an extra 80 - 100 calories day!!  
🗑
body composition   ratio between fat and fat-free mass  
🗑
FAT FREE MASS   includes ALL tissues EXCLUSIVE of FAT (muscles, bon, organs, fluids)  
🗑
Essential Fat   is necessary for normal biological function -ess fAT/men = 3 - 5% of total weight -ess fat/wmen = 8 - 12% of total weight  
🗑
Obesity AND OVerweight   men - = or > 25% oftotal body weight women - = or > 35% of total body weight  
🗑
Overweight =   is excessive weight fr height and does NOT consider body composition  
🗑
Methods of measuring body weight   HEIGHT weight tables...DONT reflect body composition, and are POOR instrments for weight loss recommendatons as it does NOT rflect body frame  
🗑
Methods of measurng body weight   Body Mass Index (BMI) ratio of body weight in kilograms to height in meters squared -people with BMIs of 25 to 29.9 are considered overweight, -BMIs of 30 and higher are onsidered OBESE  
🗑
Regional Fat Distribution   -waist to hip ratio (WHR) = simple method for determining body fat distribution -Waist circumference can also predict disease risk  
🗑
Measuring Body Composition   -only DIRECT way to measure the fat content of humans is through chemicalanalysesof cadavers  
🗑
In-DIRECT methods of measuring body composition   -Underwater weighing = most accurate (people with muscle mass weigh more in water than those with less)  
🗑
Bioelectrical impedance analysis   uses low-level, single frequency electric current to measure body composition -best to use with lrge group -least effective of in-direct methods -important to keep variable same each time  
🗑
skin-fold measurements   most economical way to measure body comp AND when performed by a skilled tech correlates well with hydrostatic weighing -HOWEVER NOT NOT a good mesurementfr an obese person as it would be demoralizing  
🗑
air deplacement = VERY costlY   Plethysmography -uses air displacement rather than water for assecing body comp by sitting in the bod  
🗑
Dual Energy x-ray Apsorption   DEXA - bone mineral density, quantification of fat, and lean tissue using very low exposure to radiationj  
🗑
methods of measuring body fat   1) Underwater weighing 2) biomedical impedance analysis 3) Skinfold measurement 4) Air-displacement (PLethysmography) 5) Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorption  
🗑
Bod Frames   Ectomorph Meso morph Endo morph  
🗑
Ectomorph   smaller frae person = carry less weight  
🗑
Mesomorph   Medium frame = carry more muscle tissue  
🗑
Endomorph   Larger frame = more bone, issue mass which weighs mre & requires more weight  
🗑
