Nutrition and Your Health
Why Do you Eat?




Nutrients- substances in food that your body
needs to function properly to grow, to repair
itself, and to supply you with energy.
Hunger- is a natural drive that protects you
from starvation.
Appetite is a desire, rather than a need, to
eat.
Nutrition- is the process by which the body
takes in and uses food.
Shaping your Appetite

Your environment:





Your food choices reflect the culture you live in, ethnic
background and religious beliefs.
Your family and friends greatly influence the choices that
you make regarding food decisions and preferences.
Food ads are everywhere in the media.
Advertising is created to make you aware of certain foods
and, perhaps, to sell you on their benefits.
Cost, convenience, and food safety can be a huge
determining factor in food choices. All relating to time and
money.
Shaping your Appetite

Your emotions:




Emotions are another factor that affects eating
habits.
Eating when bored
Feeling stressed, frustrated, or depressed
Not eating when you are upset or bored
Vitamins




Vitamins- are compounds that help regulate many vital body
processes, including digestion, absorption, and metabolism of the other
nutrients.
Of the 13 vitamins that play a key role in good nutrition, only 1; Vitamin
D is produced in the body.
Others are derived from food
Water- Soluble




Water soluble vitamins dissolve in water and thus pass easily into the
bloodstream.
Excreted through urine
Not stored in body, so you must replenish frequently.
Fat-Soluble



Absorbed and transported by fat
Stored in fatty tissue, liver and kidneys
Excess build up can be damaging
Minerals



Minerals- inorganic substances that the body
cannot manufacture but that act as catalysts,
regulating many vital body processes.
Body requires different amount of various
minerals
Trace minerals- tiny amounts
Water





Water- carries nutrients and carries waste
away from cells, mainly through plasma.
Lubricates your joints
Cools the body
Body uses 10 cups or 2.4L of water per day
DRINK 6-8 glasses per day
Carbohydrates





The starches and sugars found in food
Body’s preferred source of energy
Recommended intake is between 45-65%
total caloric energy
Simple carbohydrates– or sugars
Complex carbohydrates– or starches
Carbohydrates

Simple Carbohydrates






Naturally present in food
Burned quickly in body,
not a good source of
energy
Fruit- fructose
Milk- lactose
Grains- maltose
Sugar- sucrose

Complex
Carbohydrates




Rice, grains, seeds, nuts,
and legumes
Second in energy source
4 calories of energy/
gram of carbohydrate
Body converts to glucose
Carbohydrates




Glucose- simple sugar and chief fuel of the
body.
If glucose is not used as energy right away, it
is stored as glycogen.
Glycogen- starch-like substance that converts
back to glucose when needed.
Can be stored as fat if consumed and not
used by the body.
Fiber





Most Americans need to increase their fiber intake.
Recommended 14 grams/1000 calories
Form of a carbohydrate
Fruits and vegetables with edible skins and seeds,
whole-grain foods
Helps with digestion, feeling of fullness, lower in fat
and calories, reduces the risk of cancer and heart
disease, and lowers blood cholesterol.
Protein





Nutrients that help build and maintain body
tissues.
All body cells contain proteins.
Excess protein is stored as fat.
Final source of energy for the body.
Protein is made from amino acids

Body can make 11 of the 20 amino acids needed
to make protein; 9 must come from food and are
known as essential amino acids
Roles of Protein



Builds new body tissues
Replaces damaged or worn out body tissuses
Aids in the production of enzymes,
hormones, and antibodies.
Fats






Body needs some fat to function healthfully
Most concentrated form of energy
Intake of saturated fats should be decreased
Trans fats should be 1% of energy intake
Omega-3 fatty acids are important—eat 2
servings of fish weekly
Total fat intake should be 25-35% of calorie
intake.
Fats

Saturated fats


Found in animal products
and some oils
Can lead to an increased
risk of heart disease

Unsaturated fats



Found in vegetable oils,
olive oil, corn oil, etc.
Can reduce the risk of
heart disease
Hydrogenation- can
make products more
saturated
Role of Fats in the Body


Fats carry fat-soluble vitamins to the blood
(A, D, E, K)
Teenage girls should limit their fat intake to
66 grams a day and cut their fat intake to no
more then 30% of the daily caloric intake.
Cholesterol




Fatlike substance produced in the liver of
animals and only found in foods of animal
origin.
Production of sex hormones
Production of Vitamin D
Is a major risk factor for circulatory diseases

Food allergy- the body’s immune system overreacts to
substances in some foods
 The allergens are usually proteins
 The body produces antibodies as a defense against these
substances
 Most common allergies: nuts, eggs, wheat, and soy
 Food additives that help in preserving foods
Symptoms include: rash, hives, or itching of the skin, vomiting,
diarrhea, or abdominal pain
Food Intolerance- is a negative reaction to food or an ingredient
in food that is not related to the body’s immune system or food
poisoning.
