Nutrition Basics Chapter 9
Nutritional Requirements: Components of A Healthy Diet 45 Essential nutrients Proteins, Fats, Carbohydrates, Vitamins, Minerals and Water. Fuel Potential. Kilocalories (kcalorie). 1 Kcalorie = amount of heat it takes to raise the temperature of 1 liter of fluid 1 degree of centigrade. 2000 kcalorie or calories per day meets a person needs. 1000 calories = 1 kcalorie. 3 supply energy Fat = 9 calories per gram Protein = 4 calories per gram Carbohydrates = 4 calories per gram
 
Proteins Forms muscle, bone, blood, enzymes, hormones and cell membrane. Twenty common amino acids Nine essential amino acids. Eleven nonessential amino acids Complete proteins provide all essential amino acids. Most animal proteins. Most plant proteins are incomplete. Combine 2 vegetables to make up missing amino acids. Recommended amount 0.8 gram per kilogram of body weight 10-35% of total calorie intake Average is 15-16%
Fats or Lipids Most concentrated source of energy stored energy and provides insulation and support for body organs Two fats Linoleic acid  Alpha-linoleic acid 10% from saturated fats Triglycerides  - glycerol molecule with 3 fatty acids Saturated Fat Mono-unsaturated Poly-unsaturated Hydrogenation Trans fatty acids
Fats and Health Cholesterol High Density Lipo-Protein (HDL’s) – good cholesterol Low Density Lipo-Protein (LDL’s) – bad cholesterol Absorbs Fat-soluble vitamins (A,D,E & K) Make up 25%-35%  of total daily calories   7%  from saturated fat 10% from polyunsaturated fat 20% from monounsaturated fat Omega-3 fatty acids – AMDR -5-10% Omega-6 fatty acids – AMDR – 0.6-1.2% Recommended Intake Adults Men 17 grams per day of linoleic and 1.6 grams of alpha-linoleic Women 12 grams per day of linoleic and 1.1 grams of alpha-linoleic Only 3-4 teaspoons (15-20 grams) of vegetable oil per day AMDRs for total fat 20-35%
 
Carbohydrates Supply energy for the body cells Two groups Simple Carbs: One or two sugar units Fruit, sugar, honey, malt, and milk Complex Carbs: Multiple sugar units Starches and fiber Grains – wheat, rye, rice, oats, barley, and millet Legumes – dry beans, peas, and lentils Tubers – potatoes and yams Digestion Mouth and small intestines Break down to glucose
Refined Carbohydrates Versus Whole Grains All grains before processing Inner layer, germ Middle layer, endosperm Outer layer, bran During processing Germ and bran are removed leaving just the starch of the endosperm
Glycemic Index and Glycemic Response Insulin and glucose levels Quick rise in glucose and insulin levels = high glycemic index Eating high glycemic index foods may increase appetite May increase risk of diabetes and heart disease Unrefined grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes – relatively low glycemic index
Recommended Carbohydrate Intake Average American – 200-300 grams 130 grams needed to meet the body’s requirements for essential carbohydrates Adults – 45-65% of total daily calories or 225-325 grams
Fiber – A Closer Look Food and Nutrition Board Dietary fiber nondigestible carbohydrate that is present naturally Functional fiber nondigestible carbohydrate that has been isolated or synthesized Total fiber is the sum of both Sources All plant substances  Recommended intake 38 grams for adult men 25 grams for adult women Needs to come from foods not supplements
Vitamins Organic (carbon-containing) substances required in small amounts to promote specific chemical reactions (catalyst) within a living cell. Thirteen vitamins: Four Fat Soluble: A, D, E, and K. Nine Water Soluble: C and 8 B-complex vitamins. Thiamin (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), Pyridoxine (B6), Folate, B-12, Biotin and Pantothenic acid. Sources: Human body does not manufacture most vitamins Abundant in fruits, vegetables and grains
Minerals Inorganic compounds. Helps to regulate body functions,aid in growth,maintenance of body tissues, and a catalyst for energy release. 17 essential minerals. Major minerals  - 100 milligrams or more. calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, sulfur, sodium, potassium and chloride. Trace minerals – minute amounts. Cobalt, copper, fluoride, iodide, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium,  and zinc
Water Composed of about 50-60% water Can live up to 50 days without food , but only a few days without water Water and other beverages make-up 80-90% of your daily water intake Men – 3.7 total liters of water, with 3.0 liters (13 cups) coming from beverages Women – 2.7 total liters of water, with 2.2 (9 cups) coming from beverages
Other Substances in Food Antioxidants –  Reduction in cancers Vitamin C & E, selenium, carotenoids  Phytochemicals  Soy foods may help lower cholesterol levels Cruciferous vegetables render some carcinogenic compounds harmless Allyl sulfides (garlic and onions) boosts the cancer-fighting immune cells
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) Set standards by Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences - developed RDAs and AI (adequate intake) Include standards for both recommended and maximum intakes Established standards for nutrient intake in order to prevent nutrient deficiencies Should you take supplements? DRIs guide you will the nutritional needs with food, rather than the use of supplements Daily values – U.S. Food and Drug Administration use on food labels Based on 2000 calorie diet
Dietary Guidelines for Americans Eating a variety of nutrient-dense foods Control calorie intake to manage healthy weight Physically active every day Plenty of grains, vegetables and fruits Choose fats wisely Choose carbohydrates wisely Prepare foods with little salt and sugar Moderation of alcohol consumption Keep foods safe to eat
Weight Management Overweight and obesity are major public health problem Americans need to reduce the amount of calories Increase physical activity Make wiser food choices
Physical Activity Aim to accumulate at least 30 minutes (adults) or 60 minutes (children) of moderate physical activity Brisk walk at a pace of 3-4 mile per hour Manage body weight engage in 60 minutes of moderately to vigorous intense activity Sustain weight loss engage daily in at least 60-90 minutes of moderate activity
Food Groups to Encourage Fruits and vegetables 41/2 cups or the equivalent of 9 servings each day Dark green vegetables Orange vegetables Legumes Whole grains Low-Fat and Fat-free milk and milk products
Fats Fats and oils provide the essential fatty acids needed Total fat: 20-35% of total daily calories Saturated Fat: Less than 10% of total calories Trans fat: as little as possible Cholesterol: Less than 300 mg per day
Carbohydrates Important energy source Fiber promotes healthy digestion and helps reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease Consumption of foods and beverages high in added sugar should be avoided
Food Safety Foodborne disease affect 76 million Americans each year Be careful around Poultry Meats Eggs Shellfish Milk products Fresh fruits and vegetables
USDA’s MyPyramid
Key Messages of MyPyramid Remind consumers to make healthy food choices Personalization  Daily physical activity Moderation Proportionality Variety  Gradual improvement
 
Serving Sizes Grains  - 1 slice of bread,1 small muffin (2.5 diameter), 1 cup ready-to-eat cereal flakes Vegetable   – 1 cup raw leafy vegetables, 1/2 cup cooked or raw vegetables, 1/2 cup of vegetable juice Fruit  – ½ cup fresh, canned, or frozen fruit, 1/2 cup 100% fruit juice,1 small whole fruit, 1/4 cup dried fruit, 3/4 cup fruit juice

Vegetarians Reasons Types :  Vegans Lacto-vegetarians Lacto-ovo-vegetarians Partial vegetarians Pescovegetarians Semivegetarians A food plan for vegetarians Vitamin B-12 Vitamin D Calcium Iron Zinc
Dietary Challenges for Special Population Groups Children and Teenagers College Students Older Adults Athletes People with Special Health Concerns
Personal Plan: Making Informed Choices About Food Reading Food Labels Reading Dietary Supplement Labels Evaluating Functional Foods
 
Organic Foods Additives in Food Food Irradiation Genetically Modified (GM) Foods
Protecting yourself Against Foodborne Illness Causes of Foodborne Illnesses Campylobacter jejuni Salmonella Shigella Escherichia coli Listeria monocytogenes Staphylococcus Clostridium botulinum Norovirus Preventing and treating foodborne illnesses Environmental Contaminants and organic foods Food Allergies
Food Allergies and Food Intolerances Food allergies Reaction of the body’s immune system Affect 2% of the adult population 4-6% of infants 90% of food allergies Cow’s milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish, and shellfish Food intolerances
