Q

Reduce cholesterol
decreasing blood glucose

21
Q

daily calorie intake from carbohydrates

22
Q

are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

supply your body with energy, form your cells, maintain body temperature, and protect your nerves.

A nutrient that provides energy and helps the body store and use vitamins (A,D,E,K)

23
Q

building blocks of fat

A

fatty acids

24
Q

Animal fats and tropical oils (like fatty portions of meat, butter, cheese, coconut oil and chocolate.

  • High intake is associated with an increased risk of heart disease

Fats that have all the hydrogen the carbon atoms can hold

usually solid at room temperature.

A

Saturated fat

25
usually liquid at room temperature. classified as either monounsaturated fats or polyunsaturated fats. Vegetable fats (oils from plant origin like corn, olive, soya, canola, sunflower, safflower oils) Associated with a reduced risk of heart disease
Unsaturated fats
26
fatty acids that the body needs, but is unable to make
essential fatty acids
27
classification of fats
1. simple lipids 2.compounds lipids 3.derived lipids
28
ex are trigylcerides
simple lipids
29
ex are phospholipids and lipoprotein
compound lipids
30
ex are fatty acids,glycerol and cholesterol
derived lipids
31
recommended calories from fat,primarily unsaturated fat
20-35%
32
waxy, fatlike substance that is found only in animal products. Your body needs a certain amount of this to make cell membranes and nerve tissue, certain hormones, and substances that aid in the digestion of fat.
cholesterol
33
made when manufacturers add hydrogen to the fat molecules in vegetable oils (Hydrogenation). are made when food makers turn liquid oils into solid fats, like shortening or margarine. found in margarine, chips, and commercially baked goods. seems to have many of the negatives of saturated fat.
Transfat
34
that contain nitrogen as well as carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen can serve as a source of energy. A nutrient that is needed for growth, and to build and repair body tissues
protein
35
long chains of smaller "links" that are bound together chemically. These smaller substances The building blocks that make up proteins
amino acids
36
indispensable to life and growth that the body cannot manufacture, therefore must be supplied in the diet.
essential amino acids
37
essential amino acids
-Isoleucine -Leucine -Lysine -Methionine -Phenylalanine -Threonin - Trytotphan -Valine -Arginine - Histidine
38
non essential amino acids
ALANINE GLUTAMINE ARGININE GLYCINE ASPARAGINE HISTIDINE* PROLINE CYSTEINE SERINE TYROSINE GLUMATIC ACID ASPARTIC ACID
39
example of complimentary proteins
Examples: 1. soybean and wheat. 2. soybean and nuts 3. munggo and rice. 4. peanut butter and sandwich 5. cereal and milk
40
recommended calories of protein
10-35%
41
incorporation of AA in the synthesis of tissue protein; all necessary AA for the given protein must be present at the same time. • Example of it is during the growth process where there is building tissue.
Anabolism
42
breakdown of AA in their components parts; common to people who are already aging, with disease or poor diet. • The process of Protein synthesis or breakdown is ENERGY dependent and sensitive to dietary deprivation. The amount of energy intake is an important factor in the body's utilization of dietary Protein. Protein is used for energy when the amount of Fat and Carbohydrates in the diet is NOT sufficient.
Catabolism
43
(Protein-Malnutrition) • soft, pitting painless edema usually in the feet, legs and face, • skin lesions over the buttocks and back due to continuous pressure and irritation, • weight deficit after accounting for edema is usually NOT as severe as • the presence of alternating bands or depigmented and normal hair; this is traditionally called flag sign.
KWASHIORKOR
44
(Protein-Energy Malnutrition) usually associated with severe food shortage, prolonged semi-starvation and abrupt weaning at a very early age or infrequent infant feeding.
Marasmus
