🗑
What are saturated fats?   Derived mainly from animals; solid at room temps; meat, egg yolks, and dairy; hydrogenated oils such as margarine and shortening  
🗑
What are unsaturated fats?   Liquid at room temp; nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils  
🗑
What is trans fat?   Saturated fat found in commercial baked goods and snack foods. Results when hydrogen is added to liquid vegetable shortening during food processing to make it more solid  
🗑
What are the risks of trans fats?   They increase the risk for heart attack and stroke  
🗑
What are the forms of protein?   Complete and incomplete  
🗑
What are complete proteins?   Foods that supply all the amino acids. These are derived mainly from animal sources such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy  
🗑
What are incomplete proteins?   Foods that lack 1 or more essential amino acids. These come from plant sources such as nuts, grains, and legumes  
🗑
What is the function of proteins?   They build tissue, bone, hair, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, skin, and nails. Also make up antibodies, hormones, hemoglobin, etc.  
🗑
What are water-soluble vitamins?   Absorbed in water in the small intestine then dissolved in body fluids and excreted by the kidneys. These are not stored in the body so there is only a slight risk of toxicity  
🗑
What are fat-soluble vitamins?   Absorbed with dietary fat, then stored in the liver and fat tissues until needed. Megadosing may lead to toxicity.  
🗑
What is the function of vitamin C?   A water-soluble vitamin found in citrus fruits and green vegetables, it aids in iron absorption, wound healing, synthesis of collagen, an antioxidant, and RBC formation  
🗑
What is the function of vitamin B1?   A water-soluble vitamin found in red meat, eggs, and legumes, its function is carb metabolism, blood formation, circulation, CNS maintenance  
🗑
What is the function of vitamin B2?   A water-soluble vitamin found in meat, eggs, whole grains, legumes, its function is energy metabolism, cell respiration, epithelial, eye, and mucosal tissue maintenance  
🗑
What is the function of vitamin B3?   A water-soluble vitamin found in meat, fish, legumes, & grains, its function is circulation, cholesterol level reduction, growth, stimulates CNS, metabolism of carbs, protein, & fat  
🗑
What is the function of vitamin B6?   A water-soluble vitamin found in red meat, fish, green vegetables, & whole grains, its function helps in metabolism of amino acids & unsaturated fatty acids, antibody formation, DNA & RNA synthesis  
🗑
What is the function of vitamin B9?   A water-soluble vitamin found in vegetables & liver, its function is synthesis of DNA, catabolism of lipids & amino acids, cell growth & reproduction, RBC formation  
🗑
What is the function of vitamin B12?   A water-soluble vitamin found in red meat, eggs, & milk, its function is the formation & maturation of RBCs & nerve cell maintenance  
🗑
What is the function of biotin?   A water-soluble vitamin found in raw egg yolks, liver, peanuts, & tomatoes, its function is necessary for cell growth, the production of fatty acids, & the metabolism of fats & amino acids  
🗑
What is the function of vitamin A?   A fat-soluble vitamin found in fish oil, eggs, & green & yellow vegetables, its function is growth, night vision, & maintenance of epithelial tissue  
🗑
What is the function of vitamin D?   A fat-soluble vitamin found in fish oils, eggs, milk, & liver, its function is calcium & phosphorus absorption & metabolism, development of bones & teeth, & normal blood clotting  
🗑
What is the function of vitamin E?   A fat-soluble vitamin found in fish oil, eggs, milk, & seed oils, its function is an antioxidant, normal muscle function, fetal development, & myocardial perfusion  
🗑
What is the function of vitamin K?   A fat-soluble vitamin found in vegetables such as cabbage, spinach, & tomatoes, its function is essential for normal blood clotting  
🗑
What is the function of calcium?   A major mineral found in dairy , greens, legumes, & sardines, its function is the formation of bones & teeth, blood clotting, muscle contraction & relaxation, & nerve function  
🗑
What is the function of phosphorus?   A major mineral found in meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, & grains, its function is the formation of bones & teeth, cell growth & repair, & aid in acid-base balance
