QuestionAnswer
State the Factors that determine food choices taste, availability, accessibility, cost, personal preference, socialization, ethnicity, culture/religion, advertising, lifestyle, emotions, geography, health goals, disasters
Sources of general nutrition information Media Selective Sources(official reports and programs, significant persons
Sources of information for children TV parents teachers and school
Sources of nutrition info for teens Tv, internet, parents(especially mothers), peers, teachers and school, coaches
Sources of nutrition info for students Tv, magazines,internet, college coursees, peers
Sources of nutrition info for men Tv, radio, newspaper, magazines, books, friends, health provides, wives mothers and other females
sources of nutrition info for women Media books family and friends health care providers
Demographic Trends Influencing Food Habits Diverse population, immigration, aging population, and family structure
Food Consumption Patters Americans are consuming more foods, more food is wasted, more families are eating OUT (8/10), increase in meat/poultry consumption
Food trends eating out, more frozen meals eaten(no prep convenience), more meat and potatoes (hamburgers 1st then chicken), ethnic foods, specialty dairy, functional foods w/ added ingredients, skipped lunches is most common, drinking cals, snacking between meals
Top food trends to watch Cooking with healthier oils, more fruits and veggies, soy, organic and locally grown foods, causal indulgences, new condiments, more cheese and custom foods, interest in healthy eating and children's health
9 Recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and describe each: 1Adequate nutrition w/ in calorie needs 2Weight Management 3Physical Activity 4Food groups to ENCOURAGE 5Fats 6Carbohydrates 7Sodium and Potassium 8Alchohol 9 Food Safety
1.Adequate nutrition w/ in calorie needs limit sat/trans fats, sugar, alcohol, and meet recs from MyPYramid
2. Weight Management Balance cals from foods and beverages w/ cals expended, and decrease food intake and increase PE if you want to lose wt.
3. Physical Activity Movement of the body that uses energy; 30 minutes of moderate or vigorous a day
Moderate Physical Activity walking briskly, hiking, gardening, yard work, dancing, golfing, biking, wt. training
Vigorous Physical Activity running/jogging, biking more than 10mph, swimming, aerobics, walking fast, heavy yardwork, wt. lifting, basketball
To reduce chronic disease 30 minutes of moderate PA 5-7 days/week
To manage body weight 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity 5-7 days a week and not exceeding daily nutrition intake
To maintain weight loss 60-90 minutes of daily moderate intensity PA 5-7 days a week
4 Food groups to encourage 2 cups of fruit and 2.5 of veggies daily, 3 oz of whole grains daily (1/2 whole), 3 cups of milk daily
5. Fats Limit saturated and trans fatty acids, chose lean/low fat; only 20-35 percent of cals shoudl come from fat; less than 300mg of cholesterol daily
6. Carbohydrates Choose fiber rich foods like fruis, whole grains; reduce intake of sugars; 14 grams of fiber per 1000 cals (Americans consume 10 or less)
Recomendations for Fiber intake Men under 50 (38g), women under 50 (25), men over 50 (30), women over 50(21 g)
7. Sodium and Potassium less than 1 tsp salt daily or 2300mgs, if have hypertension like many African Americans less than 1500 mgs; Potassium: 4700mgs daily
8. Alcohol 1/ day and 2 for men
9. Food safety avoid foods w/ viruses/bacteria, wash fruits/veggies, separate raw and cooked foods, don't wash raw poultry and meats
Relationship between Dietary Guidelines and MyPyramid MyPyramid incorporates Dietary guidelines for people over age of 2; takes into account age, gender, activity level
6 emphasized areas of MyPyramid 1. Personalization 2. Gradual Improvement 3. Physical Activity 4. Variety 5. Moderation 6. Proportionality
Food Groups in the Pyramid 1. Grains 2. Fruits 3. Vegetables 4. Fats/oils 5. Meats/ Beans 6. Milk
1. Grains Recommendations women 6oz; Men 8oz; 1 oz (slice of bread, cup of cereal, 1/2 cup of rice or pasta or oatmeal)
