| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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. |
