Nutrition
Study of food and how the body uses it to produce
energy and build and repair itself
Good nutrition includes
• Eating a diet supplying all of the essential
nutrients required to maintain a healthy body
• Taking in nutrients to prevent dietary
deficiencies
• Avoiding overconsumption of calories, sugars,
fats, and sodium
Complete Lab 8.1 to analyze your diet
Complete Lab 8.4 to assess nutritional habits

Nutrients
Basic substances in food are required to maintain health.
There are two main categories
Macronutrients
• Needed in greater amounts
• Build/maintain body tissue and provide energy
• Carbohydrates
• Fats
• Proteins
Micronutrients
• Needed in smaller amounts
• Essential for many processes, including cell functions
• Vitamins
• Minerals
Water is an additional class of nutrient, critical for survival
and normal functioning

Carbohydrates
• Main source of fuel for the brain
• Key energy source for muscular contraction
• 4 calories of energy per gram
• Includes whole grains, pasta, fruits, vegetables
Two types
• Simple carbohydrates (sugars)
– Glucose
– Glycogen
– Easier for the body to break down and use for energy
• Complex carbohydrates
– Starch (fuel source)
– Fiber (not a fuel source)

Recommended vs. Typical Diet

Fats
• Energy storage known as triglycerides
• Part of a larger class of substances called lipids
• 9 Kcals of energy per gram
Types of fatty acids
• Saturated (solid at room temperature/come from
animal sources)
• Monounsaturated
• Polyunsaturated
• Trans (found in baked and fried foods, and some
animal sources)
• Unsaturated (liquid at room temperature, come from
plant sources)
• Omega-3 (health benefits, found mainly in fish)

Sources of Trans Fat in the Diet

Proteins
• Build and repair body tissue
• Regulate metabolism/protect from disease
• 4 kcals per gram, usually not a major fuel source
• Basic structural units are amino acids
Complete Proteins
• Only in animal foods and soy products
• Contain all essential amino acids
Incomplete Proteins
• Present in vegetable sources
• Missing one or more of the essential amino acids

Vitamins and Minerals
Vitamins
• Help regulate growth and metabolism
• Water-soluble vitamins are not stored in the body (B and C)
• Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body (A, D, E, and K)
Minerals
• Chemical elements that help the body function
• Three key minerals: calcium, iron, sodium
– Osteoporosis: calcium deficiency disease
– Anemia: iron deficiency health problem
– Hypertension (high blood pressure): tied to too much sodium
In individuals who exercise, both vitamins and minerals help protect
against tissue damage
See Tables 8.2 and 8.3 Vitamin/Mineral Sources, Functions

Water
• Comprises about 60–70% of your body
• Key nutrient for regulating body temperature,
digestion, absorption, blood formation, and
elimination
• Crucial for active people
• Losing as little as 5% body water causes marked
distress; more than 15% can be fatal
• Recommended to drink 8–10 cups per day
• Eating foods with high water content can help
you reach the daily minimum

Guidelines for a Healthy Diet
• Eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
• Balance what you eat with regular exercise
• Limit intake of calories, sugar, alcohol, fat, and
sodium
• Choose higher-fiber foods
• Take proper food safety precautions
• Use the Recommended Dietary Allowances
(RDAs), MyPlate, and food labels to plan healthy
meals

Special Dietary Considerations
Most people eating a balanced diet don't need supplements
Individuals with special needs benefit from vitamin and mineral
supplements
• Vegetarians: extra B12, D
• Pregnant women: folic acid
Others who may benefit
• People with chronic illnesses
• People on certain medications
• Athletes undergoing rigorous training
• Lactating woman
• People on prolonged low-calorie diets
Vegetarians
• Be careful to plan meals to meet body's need for
macro/micronutrients that may be missing due to not consuming
foods from animal sources

Special Dietary Considerations (cont.)
Iron: Essential component of red blood cells
• Women menstruating, pregnant, or nursing need
adequate iron
– Too much has potential for toxicity
• Sources: legumes, fruits, whole-grain cereals, broccoli,
lean red meats, organ meats
Calcium: Essential for building bones and teeth
• Especially important for pregnant or nursing women
• May help prevent colon cancer
• Critical for children and teens
• Sources: low- and nonfat dairy foods, tuna fish, turnips,
mustard greens, broccoli

How Does Nutrition Affect Physical Fitness?
• Carbohydrates are used for energy during
exercise
• Protein needs can be met with a healthy diet
• High vitamin intake WILL NOT improve
performance
• Antioxidants help prevent oxidative damage

Do Supplements Enhance Health and
Performance?
Role of Supplements
• No scientific evidence currently validates the claim
that supplements improve health or exercise
performance
• Best approach is to eat a wide variety of foods and
avoid excessive supplements
Regulation of Supplements
• No FDA approval is required (supplements are not
tested)
• Manufacturers self-police the safety of supplements
with no oversight
• Manufacturers cannot make claims about
supplements concerning the treatment, prevention, or
cure of diseases

Foodborne Illness
• Eating foods with some bacteria can make you sick Often causes
nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea within 12 hours to 5 days after
consumption
• Can be fatal in children or at-risk people
Safety Guidelines
• Select produce carefully
• Wash produce thoroughly
• Drink only pasteurized milk and juice
• Don't eat raw eggs or raw fish
• Keep perishables cold or frozen
• Cook all meats thoroughly
• Use separate cutting boards and utensils for meat and produce
• Wash and rinse dishes, utensils, and food preparation surfaces
thoroughly
• Wash your hands thoroughly before and after handling food

Other Issues in Food Safety and Technology
Food additives are used by manufacturers to improve quality, taste
and/or color, and increase shelf life
• Common additives—sugar, salt, corn syrup, monosodium
glutamate (MSG), sulfites, nitrites
• Some people have greater sensitivity to additives and should
avoid or limit them
Organic foods are grown or raised without pesticides, hormones,
antibiotics or chemical fertilizers
• There is no research supporting the claim that organic foods are
nutritionally superior
Irradiation is used to kill microorganisms and prolong shelf life
• Data is limited regarding whether irradiation and bioengineered
foods are safe
• Irradiated foods use a label identifying them and attesting to their
safety

Summary
• Nutrition is the study of food and its relationship
to health and disease
• Nutrients include macronutrients, micronutrients,
and water
• Vitamins and minerals play many important roles
in body regulation and functioning
• A healthy diet contains adequate amounts of
fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and
dairy products, and limited quantities of sugar,
fat, sodium, and alcohol
© 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
Summary (cont.)
• Calorie intake should be balanced against
calorie expenditure
• RDAs, MyPlate, and food labels can all help you
choose healthy foods in the proper proportions
• Most people who eat balanced diets do not need
supplements
• Foodborne illnesses can be largely prevented
through careful selection, preparation, storage,
and cleaning of foods, utensils, surfaces, and
hands
