what is important of nutrition ?
- provide substance – produce heat @ any form of energy
- provide material – allow growth, maintenance, repair @ reproduction to proceed
- maintain normal function & health
what is nutrients?
- chemical substances in food
- provide energy & structure
- helps regulate body processes
what is essential nutrient?
- must supplied in diet – support life
- X made by the body
- X made in large quantity to meet needs
type of nutrient
macronutrients & micronutrients
macronutrients
- nutrients need by body in large amount
- ex: carbohydrates, lipids, protein & water
micronutrients
- nutrients need by body in small amount
- ex: vitamins, minerals
what is function nutrients?
- energy
- structure
- regulation
what nutrients use for energy?
- carbohydrate
- lipid
- protein
example nutrient in energy.
1) carbohydrate : glucose - carbohydrate - provide energy – body cell
2) fat : most huge source – stored fuel - body
3) protein : over consumed than needed – used for energy
what nutrients use in structure?
- lipid
- protein
- mineral
example nutrient in structure.
1) lipid : principal component - membranes surround each cell
2) protein : connective tissue
⤿ holds bones together
⤿ holds muscles to bones
- protein in muscles - define its shape
3) minerals : calcium & phosphorus - minerals - harden teeth & bones
what nutrients use in regulation?
- lipid
- protein
- carbohydrate
- water
- vitamins
- minerals
example nutrient in regulation.
- lipid: estrogen - lipid membrane – helps regulate female reproductive cycle.
- protein: leptin - helps regulate size of body fat stones
- carbohydrate: Sugar chains attached to proteins circulating in blood – give signal ➜ protein should remain in blood or removed by liver?
- water: in sweats – helps cool the body ➜ regulate body temp.
- vitamins: B vit. – regulate use of macronutrients for energy
- minerals: sodium - mineral – helps regulate blood volume
what is energy?
energy: ability to do work
state principles of energy balance.
- energy ❌ disappear
- excrete in faeces & urine
- absorb by body
what is healthy diet?
