Six Nutrients Words to Know! NUTRITION - is the science that studies how body makes use of food. DIET - is everything you eat and drink. NUTRIENTS - are the substances in food. What Food Does for You It provides energy for daily activity It gives you raw material Eating is an enjoyable activity Calorie What is a calorie? unit of measure ENERGY energy supplied by food energy used by the body physical activity normal body functions Six Nutrients Basic Nutrients Groups For Energy: Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats Basic Nutrients Groups For Metabolism: Vitamins, Minerals, Water Nutrients Activity I DO- I have provided you with important notes and notes per group WE DO- You will work in your groups and take the needed notes, the presenter will give the main facts to the entire class YOU DO ( NEXT CLASS )- We will come back together and YOU will then take your personal notes from the presenters and from the remaining PowerPoint GROUPS Each group must have their notebooks out and ONE sheet of paper. On that paper write your names , your category and who has the following jobs In groups students assign jobs. Reader (reads the information provided), Writer (writes the responses to questions), What is the name of our nutrient? What does it provide our body with? Examples of food that have this nutrient Any important facts to share with class Presenter (presents the information), Leader (keeps the group on task) and Timekeeper (keeps track of allotted time). January 17,18 DO NOW: What are the basic Nutrients Groups For Metabolism: Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy. 40-50% of our daily food energy intake (in calories) should be carbohydrates, but not just any carbohydrates. Sources of Carbohydrates: - Whole wheat breads - Rice - Pasta - Potatoes Carbohydrates 4 calories per gram The body’s main source of energy 2 types of carbohydrates Simple sugars Enter blood stream quickly Quick source of energy Complex starches, fiber, and plant foods Enter bloodstream slowly Long-lasting energy Protein Protein is essential for body growth, build and repair cells, fight infection, and make blood strong. They provide slow, sustained energy, proteins provide necessary amino acids that help regulate body function and structure. 20-30% of our daily food energy intake should be from proteins. Sources of Protein: - Meats - Eggs - Fish - Nuts - Beans Protein 4 Calories per gram 20 -30% of daily caloric intake rebuild, repair, and maintain body tissues forms muscle, bone, blood, cell membranes, and hormones. Fats Fats are another source of energy. Fats may be the least understood of the nutrient groups. Monounsaturated fats (from nuts, seeds, olives) and Polyunsaturated fats (from sunflower, corn, fish and shellfish) are fats that are good for us. Omega 3 fats (cold water ocean fish, salmon) actually have been shown to reduce cholesterol. Our fat intake should be about 2030% of our diet. Sources of Fat: - Butter - Cheese - Eggs - - Meat Vitamins Vitamins help regulate body functions. Your body cannot produce vitamins; you must obtain them through foods. Vitamins help the body use food and work properly. It only takes a tiny amount of these nutrients, but, if missing from the diet, they can cause giant health problems. Sources of Vitamins: - Fruits - Vegetables - Whole grain breads Vitamins work in many reactions that regulate body processes. All of the B vitamins help us get energy from the foods we eat. Vitamin C, vitamin E, act as antioxidants. They prevent cells from being damaged by oxygen. Vitamin A is important for normal vision Vitamin D is needed for bone health. Vitamin K is important for blood clotting. Minerals Minerals help your body work properly. Like Vitamins, it only takes a tiny amount of each mineral to avoid serious health.Minerals build bones, teeth, blood, and helps the body use energy. Minerals combine in important ways in the body, like Calcium in our bones. They also regulate body processes. For example, the Iron in red blood cells transports oxygen. Sources of Minerals: - Milk - Meats - Whole grain cereal Main minerals : Iron and Calcium . MINERAL WHAT IS IT NEEDED FOR? WHERE IS IT FOUND? IRON -Involved in transporting oxygen around the body in the red blood cells. The best source is red meat e.g. beef and lamb. CALCIUM- Bones are composed of several minerals, the most important being calcium. Vitamin D works with calcium. Calcium requirements are higher during teenage years. In milk, cheese and yogurt, (low fat varieties have the same amount). Smaller amounts are found in white bread, nuts, green leafy vegetables and tinned fish. Water Water is essential to our body because it carries nutrients. Nothing else works like water to clean your system, control your weight, digestion, energy, alertness. Nothing on this PowerPoint can work if you're not getting enough pure water. Recommendation 6 – 8 oz. glasses per day Water transports other nutrients to cells, carries wastes away, aids digestion and more. It makes up more than half your weight. The human body is made up of over 70% water. Our blood is more than 80%‚ our brain... over 75%‚ and the human liver is an amazing 96% water! Works to keep muscles and skin toned Aids in weight loss Transports oxygen & nutrients to cells Eliminates toxins & waste from the body Regulates body temperature How Much Should You Eat? It depends on three factors: - Gender - Activity level - Age Fill out your Nutrition Template When finished turn in by the printer, study your nutrition notes Summarizing Exit Slip How many calories are in 1 gram of carb, protein, and fat? How much water is recommended daily? What is the function of vitamins and minerals? Which type is better? Simple or complex carbohydrates Answers: 1. Carbohydrates 1 gm = 4 Cal Proteins1 gm = 4 Cal Fat1 gm = 9 Cal 2. 6 – 8 oz. glasses per day 3.Both assist in working on body reactions, body processes and metabolism. 4.Complex QUICK REVIEW - Carbohydrates (nutrient that gives us high amounts of quick energy) - Fats (nutrient that gives us stored energy) - Proteins (nutrient that builds muscle and bones) - Vitamins (nutrient that helps regulate body processes) - Minerals (nutrient essential to growth and metabolism) - Water (essential for digestion, respiration, carrying nutrients and oxygen)
