Your Food Choices Affect Your
Health

The foods you choose determine the
nutrients you consume.

There are approximately 45 essential
nutrients that we need to stay healthy.

To make your diet healthy, it is important to
choose nutrient-dense foods.

Nutrient Density

Nutrient density is a measure of the nutrient a
food provides compared to its energy
content.

By whether they provide energy to the body
energy-yielding nutrients?
By how much is needed in the diet
Macronutrients?– measured by kg or g
Micronutrients?– measured by mg or μg
By their chemical structure
organic molecules
inorganic molecules

Estimating the energy content of food


Lipid Functions in the Body


Structure and lubrication: provide stored
energy, insulate body from changes in
temperature ,provides a cushion to protect
internal organs against shock.
Regulation: Cholesterol- synthesis VD in the
skin, component of bile, make estrogen,
testosterone and stress hormone.


Essential fatty acid: Omega 6-- for growth,
fertility, maintaining red blood cell structure.
Omega 3--cell membranes in retina of the
eye, center nervous system.

and muscle(Shrink).
Provide protection. Skin-first barrier against
infection and injury.

Makes up about 60% of the human body by
weight.
Water functions as a lubricant and cleanser.
Tears wash away dirt, saliva assists in
chewing, tasting and swallowing and spinal
fluid protects against shock.
Water assists in regulating body temperature.

Diets high in salt contribute to high blood
pressure.
Diets high in saturated fat and cholesterol play a
role in heart disease.
Diets high in sugar and other refined
carbohydrates are associated with an increased
risk of diabetes.
Diets high in red meats and saturated fats, low in
fruits and vegetable and fiber may increase the
risk of colon cancer.


Unhealthy fats (trans fats, saturated fats, cholesterol)

Variety



Eating foods from a variety of food groups
Eating a variety of foods within each food group
Benefits: increased nutrients and
phytochemicals, decreased toxins
© 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
Balance




Balance unhealthy choices with healthy choices
Balance calories in with calories burned
Balance foods within food groups
Benefits: wider variety of nutrients and weight
control
© 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
Moderation



Moderate portion sizes
Moderate consumption of each food
Benefits: not too much of any nutrient or
calories

What are your reasons to choose food?

When considering individual diet prescription
we must not lose sight of the fact that food is
not just about health but about pleasure,
culture, sociability, identity, and beliefs.

Availability
Cultural and family background
Social acceptability
Personal preference
Psychological and emotional factors
Health concerns
Reasons for choose food

We choose foods that are available to us
 The season, along with geography, socioeconomics, and
health status, all affect the food available to us

We choose foods we have learned to eat( cultural and family
background)
 Jews and Muslims do not eat pork; Sikhs and Hindus do not
eat beef.

We choose foods that are socially acceptable
 For example, we may eat foods we do not like out of

We choose foods that we think are healthy
 A person’s attitudes about what food they think are
good for them affect what they choose.
Checking student learning outcomes





Reflect on factors that influence food choices.
Compare and contrast the 6 nutrient classes.
Describe ways to obtain balance, variety, and
moderation to avoid under- and overnutrition.
Describe how genes and diet interact to
promote health and result in disease.
Which diet-related diseases run in your family?
How can you modify your risk?
