102
Q

Explain the problem of sugar and tooth decay

A

Poor dental hygiene and too much sugar means plaque forms on the teeth. Bacteria are in the plaque, and feed off the sugar. Acid created from bacteria damages tooth enamel and eventually causes cavities. Brush teeth twice a day.

103
Q

There are two main polysaccharides in our diet:

A

Starch, NSP (fibre)

104
Q

What does starch do

A

Starch is broken down into simple sugars and provides energy. Gives a feeling of fullness, any excess is converted to fat.

105
Q

What does fibre do

A

Provides bulk in diet, causes satiety and can help with weight loss. Holds water and keeps faeces soft. Helps prevent constipation.

106
Q

Two types of fibre which are

A

Insoluble and soluble

107
Q

What does soluble fibre do

A

Slows down digestive process so makes us feel satiated for longer. Helps control blood sugar levels.

108
Q

Good sources of soluble fibre

A

Oats, porridge, peas, beans, lentils, bananas

109
Q

What does insoluble fibre do

A

Absorbs water and increases bulk so keeps faeces soft so it can pass through the digestive system easily

110
Q

What are good sources of insoluble fibre

A

Bread, cereal, buckwheat, pearl, barley, pasta, brown rice

111
Q

What happens if we have too much carbohydrate?

A

Converted to fat, too much sugar can result in tooth decay due to plaque forming on teeth, bacteria living in plaque and the acid damages tooth enamel, causing cavities

112
Q

What other problems are associated with an excess intake of sugar in our diet?

A

Sugar is an empty calorie
Too much can lead to obesity risk and diabetes and heart disease
Eating too much sugar does not cause diabetes

113
Q

Benefits of using sweeteners:

A

They don’t raise the level of sugar in the blood, helps manage weight due to low calories

114
Q

Disadvantages of using sweeteners:

A

Higher risk of stroke, heart disease, and death

115
Q

Glycogen is a __________

A

polysaccharide

116
Q

Function of water:

A

Enables cells to function properly, regulate body temperature, helps kidneys flush out harmful/ excess/ foreign substances. Transports nutrients around the body. Keeps faeces soft.

117
