Q

Calorie

A

Unit of energy
energy needed to raise the temp. of 1 gram of water to 1 degree Celsius

20
Q

Adequate, healthy diets must

A

Satisfy human needs for energy and all essential nutrients

21
Q

Energy Balance

A

Energy Input = Energy Output

22
Q

Three Framework of Food Guide Pyramid

A

Balance
Variety
Moderation

23
Q

Balanced Diet

A

Getting the right types and amounts of foods to supply nutrition and energy for maintaining body cells, tissues, and organs and for supporting normal growth and development

24
Q

Metabolic Process (5 Steps)

A

Food Intake
Food Breakdown
Energy Created
Body Repair
Activity Energy

25
Metabolic Rate measures
net ATP turnover (Adenosine Tri Phosphate: Energy Currency) Overall rate of tissue oxidation of fuels by all the body's organ
26
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
Energy uses when your body performs natural (basic) life-sustaining functions
27
Thermogenesis
Dissipation of energy through the production of heat (Create Heat) - Production of heat inside the body
28
Specific dynamic heat
amount of energy expenditure above basal metabolic rate due to cost of (processing food for use and storage)
29
Types of Thermic effect of food (TEF)
Obligatory and Facultative
30
Thermic Effect of Food (TEF)
Increase in energy expenditure associated with consumption of food
31
Obligatory
Energy needed to digest, absorb and metabolize nutrients
32
Facultative
Excess energy expended above obligatory
33
Factors affecting BMR
Body size and composition Gender Age Physical fitness Hormonal statues Genetics Environmental influence
34
BMR Factors: Body size & composition
Height and weight (additional body tissue) Larger = higher metabolic rates Men vs Women Lean muscles burn more calories than fat
35
BMR : Gender
BMR of women 5-10% lower than men (due to organ/body weight and muscle/fat
36
BMR : Age
Declines with age Decline typically occurs around 40 M and 50 F (changes in organ/tissue size & reduction in metabolic activity of lean body mass)
37
BMR : Physical Fitness
Regular exercise causes 8-14% higher metabolic rate
38
BMR : Hormonal Status (Name the 2)
Leptin and Ghrelin
39
Leptin
Produced by adipose cells Helps regulate energy balance by inhibiting hunger (Makes you feel fuel) Diminishing fat storage
39
Leptin
Produced by adipose cells Helps regulate energy balance by inhibiting hunger (Makes you feel fuel) Diminishing fat storage
39
Ghrelin
Produced by stomach Hunger hormone Stimulates appetite, increases food intake Promotes fat storage
40
Water helps
*Regulate body temperature *Lubricates organs *Medium for metabolic/chemical reactions *Aids in movement of nutrients during digestion, absorption and circulation and excretion of waste and toxins
41
Intracellular water Extracellular water
water within the cell (Potassium (K)) water outside/surrounding the cell (Sodium (Na))
42
Dehydration
Insufficient fluid intake (imbalance of electrolytes)
43
Rehydration
restoring water balance to a dehydrated person (IV)-lifesaver
