Nutrition Issues



Normal Dietary requirement of protein 1g/Kg/Day
for adults
Proteins provide 4 kcal (17kJ)/gram of protein
2
Functions of Protein



Tissue growth,maintenance and repair
After anabolic needs are met excess of proteins
are catabolized for energy
After the energy requirements are met the
aminoacids are used to synthesize
carbohydrates and fats
3
Final Products of Protein Catabolism





CO2 and Water
High energy molecule (ATP)
Urea
Ammonia
(Note creatinine is derived from creatine and Uric
acid is derived from purines)
4
Individual functions of AA

Taurine- synthesized from dietary cysteine or methionine
( concern in formula fed infants may develop taurine
deficiency) Human milk is rich in taurine
5
Carbohydrates- classified by number of
sugar units they contain





Mono

Oligo -3-10
Polysaccharides
Major source of food energy

Oligosaccharides

Alpha-galactoside

Fructo-oligosaccharides

Found in soybeans and
legumes
Not digested
100% fermented in colonincreases SCFA, fecal
output, and prebiotic
effects

Jerusalem artichoke,
chicory, onion
Reduced calorific value not
digested
Prebiotic

Carb Disorders:
Lactose/Sucrose/Galactosemia/ DM


Lactose Intolerance- Adult onset-Afro-AsianMediterranean ethnicity
Avoid milk/ Cheese-Yogurt better
Sucrose Intolerance-avoid table sugar, highly
sweetened foods
8
Too much fiber? Caution!

Excessive fiber in the diet can reduce mineral
absorption resulting in negative balance of iron, zinc
and other trace elements. It can interfere with
consumption of a balanced diet.

ATP production
Increases utilization of fat
Replenishes glycogen
Anabolic — keeps biosynthetic
pathways open
Anticatabolic —helps maintain
lean muscle mass
Antioxidant —generates NADPH,
keeping glutathione in an active
state
Increases endurance
Reduces free radical and oxidative
damage

Number of carbon atoms




Classified as
Short chain (C4-6)
Medium chain (5-12)
Long chain (12 or more)
“Saturated “ fatty acids- palmitic and stearic acids
Mono-unsaturated fatty acid- oleic acid
12
Poly unsaturated fatty acids



Linoleic acid - essential
Linolenoic acid - essential
Arachidonic acid
13
Fat Facts






Cholesterol only in animal cells
Ergosterol in plant cells
Waxes are in plants and fruits but not in land animal
species
Most concentrated source of energy!
9 kcal/g (37kJ/g)
Makes food palatable/ gives aroma
14
Fat Facts


.

Industrial countries diet energy source is 38%
fat. This is very high.
Evidence for an effect of dietary cholesterol on
blood cholesterol is inconclusive
Foods that have a high cholesterol content
include: liver, egg yolk, kidney, brains,
sweetbreads, shellfish and fish roe
15
Fat Facts


Peanut oil and olive oil are examples of fats which
are rich in the monounsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid.
Monounsaturated fatty acids in the diet have a
lowering effect on LDL cholesterol
16
?DHA deficiency
 Associated with:
1. fetal alcohol syndrome
2. attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
3. cystic fibrosis
4. phenylketonuria
5. unipolar depression
6. aggressive hostility and
7. adrenoleukodystrophy
 A decrease in DHA in the brain may be
associated with cognitive decline during aging and
with onset of sporadic Alzheimer's disease.
17




Role of fish and fish oilshigh in EPA (eicosa pentanoic acid)
and DHA (docosa hexanoic acid)
Beneficial in-hypertension, hyperlipidemia,
thrombosis, coronary heart disease and
immunological disorders
Lowers Triglycerides
Omega-3 fatty acids tend to increase bleeding time by
inhibiting platelet aggregation
Eating 4 to 6 ounces (120-170 g) of fish several times a
week is helpful
18



The fat soluble vitamins
include:
vitamin A (retinol)
vitamin D (calciferol)
vitamin E (tocopherol) and
vitamin K (menadione)
stored in appreciable
amounts in body tissues and,
do not have to be supplied
daily
Habitual intake of excessive

Cooking removes thiamine
Conserved when consumed without excessive
cooking (enriched bread, breakfast cereals).
Parboiling of rice facilitates retention of some of
the thiamin
Main site of thiamin absorption is the jejunum
Absorption is decreased by folate deficiency and
alcoholism
29
Thiamine deficiency (Beriberi)

Thiamin deficiency affects the cardiovascular,
muscular, nervous and gastrointestinal systems.
 The earliest manifestation of thiamin
deprivation includes anorexia, fatigue, depression,
irritability, poor memory, inability to concentrate and
vague abdominal and cardiac complaints.

deficiency may also be involved)

and confabulation) and
Amblyopsia (dim vision).

Dietary Goals
1. Enjoy a variety of foods/maintain a balanced diet
2. Maintain ideal weight by reducing excessive energy
consumption and increasing physical activity
3. Reduce fat intake to no more than 30% of total energy
with no more than 10% of total energy as saturated fat.
4. Moderate consumption of alcohol
5. Limit intake of sugar
6. Avoid too much salt, and
7. Increase intake of whole grain cereals, fresh fruit and
vegetables
47
?Breast Milk
 Exclusive breast feeding up to 6 months and longer!
 Complementary foods may be introduced from about

6 months of age.
Exclusively breast fed infants follow a slower but
normal growth pattern than bottle fed infants at
around 4 to 6 months of age and may therefore
require a separate growth curve.
48
Breast vs. Bottle (formula) feeds
 not present
 contains digestive enzymes such as  does not encourage lactobacilli
amylase and lipase
 contains immunologic
substances such as IgA, lactoferrin,
lysozymes, macrophages and other
antibodies that confer passive
immunity
 lactobacillus factor present in breast
milk
 less susceptible to respiratory,
enteric and ear infections.
colonization- predisposes to
respiratory, enteric and ear
infections
49
Breast milk-Long term Benefits!

breastfed infants may have reduced risk of-




diabetes mellitus,
certain types of cancer and
raised serum cholesterol later in life
TRIPLE BENEFITS of Breast feeding-
1.Breast milk is readily available, relatively
safe and enhances intestinal development
2.Breastfeeding is satisfying for both the
mother and child.
3.The closeness of this coupling enhances
maternal-infant bonding
50
When to start cow’s milk?

delay the introduction of cow’s
milk to between 9 and 12 months
Reason:
 High protein content and the accompanying renal solute
load in cow’s milk;
 the risk of an allergic reaction; and the risk of a bloodlosing enteropathy in some infants that is induced by a
heat-labile factorin the protein
51
Signs of food allergy in children
 Systemic: anaphylaxis (allergic shock reaction)
 Gastrointestinal: vomiting, abdominal pain,


diarrhea,malabsorption, enteropathies;
Respiratory: rhinitis, sinusitis, secretory otis media,
cough, wheezing, pulmonary infiltration;
Cutaneous: rash, uticaria, eczema.
52
Gluten Sensitivity



Gluten sensitive enteropathy, more commonly
known as celiac disease, is a food allergy
affects children and is life-lasting
need a diet which eliminates gluten and
gluten-containing products for the patient's
lifetime.
53
Obesity: ‘defined as 20% above the ideal
weight’
 Risk factor for diabetes mellitus,
 hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease,
 obstructive sleep apnea, and
 Cancer
 cause: nutrition transition to fat-rich diets and reduced

physical activity
In developed countries, poverty is associated with
increased prevalence, whereas in developing countries
it is the relatively affluent class

Soluble Dietary Fibers
 Soluble fibers include pectin, resistant starches and other




polysaccharides.
They are not digested in the small intestine increase
The transit time through the gut, delay gastric emptying, and
slow glucose absorption.
They can be degraded by colonic bacteria and
Thus lower luminal pH, stimulate proliferation of colonic
microflora (prebiotic effect) and produce short chain fatty
acids (SCFA) such as acetic, butyric and propionic acid.
58
SCFA benefits?





Provide nourishment to the colon
Fruits, vegetables and oats are the main dietary
sources of soluble fiber
50% fiber intake from grains,
30% from vegetables and beans and
20% from fruits
59
Gut flora
Unique internal eco-system
GI tract houses several trillion bacteria
Bad onesClostridia, staphylococci, vibrionaceae and
Ps. Aeruginosa
Good ones- Lactobacilli and
Bifidobacteria are main colonic bacterial
species
60


Prebiotics are dietary components that
promote the growth of probiotics.
Probiotics and prebiotics are the main dietary
approaches to selectively influence the growth
of beneficial bacteria.
61
Probiotic

A probiotic is a live bacteria contained in a food (e.g.
functional food such as yogurt) or a food supplement
which beneficially affects the host by improving its
intestinal microbial balance.
