QuestionAnswer
Any substance the body can take in and assimilate (essential for life) Food
Derived from plant and animal sources Food
Provide energy and nutrients which is used by the body for maintenance, growth and repair Food
The food and beverages a person who usually eats and drinks. Diet
The quality of which affects the risk of chronic diseases. Diet
No good or bad food, only bad diets. Diet
Nutrition is the food you eat and how the body uses it. We eat to live, to grow, to keep healthy and well, and to get energy for work and play. Basic Concept of Nutrition
Food is made up of different nutrients needed for growth and health. Basic Concept of Nutrition
All persons, throughout life, have need for the same nutrients, but in varying amounts. Basic Concept of Nutrition
The way food is handled influences the amount of nutrients in food, its safety, appearance, and taste. Basic Concept of Nutrition
The 3 major food groupings are based on the main functions of the nutrients found in the food Energy-giving foods (CHO, fats and oils) Body-building food (CHONS) Body-regulating food (vitamins and minerals)
Energy-giving food is composed of CHO, FATS AND OILS
Body-building food is composed of CHONS
Body-regulating food is composed of Vitamins and Minerals
What do you understand by biological value? Biological value is the percentage of protein absorbed that is retained and utilized by the body. The main function of proteins is to build and repair body tissues.
Give examples of vegetables sources of protein. Soybeans, kidney beans, lima beans, peas, chickpea.

Prevent, promotion, protection, conservation of health through proper nutrition Public Health Nutrition
6 Categories of nutrients Water Carbohydrates Fats Protein Vitamins Minerals
More essential than food Water
Dehydration can kill faster than starvation (29% body water loss) Water
Under ordinary conditions 2,000-2,500ML per day or 8-10 glasses of water for healthy adults Water
5 Water function Universal solvent Excretion of waste Lubricant and shock absorber Regulates body temperature Maintain blood volume and pressure
3 Carbohydrates Classification Monosaccharides Disaccharides Polysaccharides-Ingestible
3 types of monosaccharides: Glucose Fructose Galactose
Also called as blood sugar or dextrose glucose
principal product formed during hydrolysis of more complex CHO glucose
only fuel used by the CNS and RBC glucose
sweetest of all natural sugars fructose
also called fruit sugar or levulose fructose
converted to glucose in the liver fructose
formed during the hydrolysis of lactose galactose
converted to glucose in the liver galactose
constituent of the brain cells galactose
3 types of Disaccharides: sucrose maltose lactose
Sources of sucrose: table sugar sugar cane sugar beet
mostly widely distributed sucrose
sources of maltose: drinks with malt (MILO)
also called malt sugar maltose
aka milk sugar lactose
less sweet of the sugar lactose
3 types of Polysaccharides-Digestible Starch Dextrin Glycogen
Sources of starch: rice, cereals, pasta, breads, beans, potatoes
resistant starch: control diabetes starch
intermediate of starch and glucose dextrin
storage form of glucose in liver and muscle glycogen

Energy source of protein? 4kcal/g
Protein Classification complete or high biological value Partially complete Incomplete
Contains all essential AA Complete or high biological value
Can maintain life but not support growth Partially complete
cannot support life nor growth incomplete
3 regulator body processes Osmotic pressure Transport of nutrients Buffers
Antibodies globulins and bind and inactivate antigens
Derived mainly from land animals and coconut oil SAFA
solid at room temp SAFA
liq at room temp UNSATURATED FA
Lacks hydrogen atoms UNSATURATED FA
MUFA AND PUFA UNSATURATED FA
Energy source of fats 9kcal/g
1 lb fat = 3500kcal
Structural role Proteins
structural function fats
2 regulator body process spares protein Carrier of fat-sol vitamins
Precursor of fats Prostaglandin and leukotrienes
Satiety value of fats Reduce gastric motility and stay in stomach is longer
special function of fats dietary lubricant and emulsifying agent (lecithin)
increased calories Weight gain
increase cholesterol can cause HPN, atherosclerosis, CHD and stroke
saturated fats: fats excess increase in cholesterol levels
trans fans: fats excess mostly come from processed food, hydrogenation of vegetable oils, behaves just like saturated fat
