Nutrition – You Are What You Eat



Nutrition – the food you eat and
how your body uses it
Nutrients – chemical substances
supplied by food that the body
needs for growth, maintenance and
repair
Macronutrients – carbohydrates,
fats, and proteins
Nutrition

Nutritional status is
determined:



By what & how much
the individual eats
By his or her’s body
ability to use
nutrients
By the state of the
person as a result of
the intake of
nutrients
Factors Affecting Eating

Some of our nation’s
top leading causes of
death have been
associated with diet:
Coronary heart disease
Certain types of cancer
Stroke
Diabetes
Atherosclerosis
Nutrition - Purpose



1. Provide
energy for body
processes &
movement
2. Provide
structural
material for
body tissue
3. Regulating
body processes
Nutrients




CHO, fats are well known as fuel
foods – but protein is sometimes
forgotten
CHO – 4Kcal/gm
FAT – 0 Kcal/gm
Protein – 4 Kcal/gm
Simple vs Complex Carbohydrates
Simple:
 Monosaccharides:
 Glucose, fructose,
galactose

Simple CHO



Disaccharides :
Double sugar
Sucrose,
maltose, lactose
W & B Sugar,
molasses,
honey, sweet
potatoes,
pineapples,
carrots
Complex CHO
Polysaccharides  Starches
 Fiber

Complex - Polysaccharides




Starches – Large
molecule of glucose
Requires longer to
digest
Glucose available
slower
Ex: Cereal grains,
corn, peas, potatoes,
squash, legumes
Lipids -- Fat




Classified
According to
three Criteria:
Whether the fat
is emulsified or
nonemulsified
Visible or
invisible
Simple or
Compound
Visible vs. Invisible Fats



Visible Fat: 40%
Easily seen
on meat
Oil
Butter
Invisible Fat:
Hidden in foods
Egg yolk
Baked goods
Snacks
Emulsified milk
Cheese
Olives
Nuts
Avocados
Fats Provide:






Energy
Insulation
Cell membrane integrity
Nerve impulse transmission
Carries fat soluble vitamins (ADEK)
Taste (satiety)
Fatty Acids
 Saturated:



One whose
structure is
completely
filled with all
H+ it can hold
Heavier, more
dense,more solid
Requires higher
Temp. to melt
Unsaturated:
Has at least one
unfilled H+ spot
Monounsaturated
vs
Polyunsaturated
The more unsat.
the more liquid
at room temp.
Monounsaturated Fatty Acid




Usually of Plant
origin
Liquid at Room Temp
Can Become
saturated if a
chemical change
occurs
Foods: Peanuts,
Peanut oil, Olives &
Olive oil, Almonds,
Pecans, Canola oil
Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids



Plant Origin
Liquid at Room
Temp.
Foods: Vegetable
Oils, Sunflower
oils, some
margarines, french
dressing, walnuts
Trans-Fatty Acids



Not currently mentioned on
food labels
Carry a risk similar to
saturated fats
Elevated blood cholesterol
& thus raise the risk of
heart disease & heart
attack
Blood Lipid Profile







Triglycerides: <100
mg/dl desired
Cholesterol: <200mg/dl
200-239 Borderline
CVD. > 240 ^ risk
Lipoproteins:
HDL – High density –
good
29-77 mg/dl
Carry cholesterol away
from cell
LDL Low density – bad
62-185 mg/dl
Carry cholesterol to cell
Cholesterol – Food Sources

Egg Yolk
Organ meats
(especially liver &
kidney)
Cream
Butter

What about Fat Substitutes?






“O’lean”, Olestra
O’lestra: is indigestible
therefore the body has no way
to take it apart
Problems: causes digestive
distress & nutrient losses
i.e.: gas, diarrhea, cramping,
strong “urge to go”
Oil can leak thru feces & leak
from the anus
May interfere with absorption
of fat soluble vitamins
Proteins –
The Most Expensive Nutrient


Building blocks are
amino acids
Structural part of
every cell
Four major functions of protein in the
body




Maintenance of
Growth
Regulation of
Body Process
Development of
Immunity
Energy
Amino Acids





Essential: (9)
Means they cannot be
manufactured by body &
must be obtained from
food
Nonessential:
Can be synthesized by
body
Often derived from other
amino acids
Complete vs Incomplete Protein Foods






Complete:
Have all 9 Essential
Amino Acids
Examples: Meat, Eggs,
& Milk
Incomplete:
Lack some Amino Acids
Some foods mixed
together = a complete
protein food
Dietary Fiber 20-35 g/day




Soluble:
Able to dissolve in
H2O
Beans, oatmeal,
barley, broccoli,
citrus fruits
Regulate blood
glucose level
Dietary Fiber




Insoluble:
Incapable of being
dissolved
Fruits and vegetable
skins, nuts, popcorn
Promote bowel
regularity
Water – H20






Must be consumed often
& in greater quantities
Solvent in which chemical
reactions occur
Medium for transporting
substances.
Provides lubrication
Contributes turgor to cells
Regulates body
temperature
Micronutrients - Vitamins


Fat Soluble: A, D, E, K
 Stored in the body
 Stable in heat
 No nitrogen
 Require bile for absorption
 Soluble in fats
Water Soluble: C, B Complex
 Soluble in water
 May be affected by cooking
methods
 B Complex contains
Nitrogen
 Very little stored therefore
few toxic levels occur
Minerals






Minerals, or elements: are inorganic
substances
Required in small amounts
Cannot be synthesized in the body, must be
obtained from food
Some are important constituents of bones
(Ca), others are required to activate specific
enzymes involved in chemical reactions, to
maintain acid-base balance (Mg, P, Na, Cl) &
water balance (K, Cl) & muscle functions (Mg,
K, Na, Ca).
Approx. 3-6% of the body weight is made up
of minerals (ash). Minerals should be supplied
daily because they are excreted every day by
the kidneys, bowel, & skin.
Minerals are stored!
Minerals (con’t)

Minerals are found in organic
compounds or inorganic compounds &
as free ions.

Have you collected ALL your supplies?
What position do you need to place your
patient? High Fowlers
Which nostril should I use?
How far do I insert the tube? Measure
During insertion:
 What do I tell my patient.
 What should they be doing?
 What technique should I be doing?
Do they stay in the same position the
whole time?
Bolus vs Continuous enteral feeding
Measurement for NG tube
The Tube is in, Now what do I do?




1. Check for placement,
but how?
 A. Auscultation
 B. Aspiration
 C. Chest X-ray if
possible.
2. Be sure they can speak.
3. Secure with tape to
nose & provide comfort
measures.
4. Connect to feeding or
suction.




Yellow-Green: is pH of 1-4 = Acidic
in Gastric Secretions
