Midterm Review Flashcards
All macronutrients
carbs
fat
protein
water
What are nutrients that provide energy?
protein
carbs
fat
alcohol
Recommended dietary allowance
sufficient amount of nutrients to meet requirements of nearly all healthy individuals
Enrichment
process of restoring nutrients removed from food during processing
What type of foods increase salivary flow?
Fibrous foods
What sugar alcohol is anticariogenic?
Xylotol
Diet for someone who has braces?
soft diet, no sticky foods because they will wrap around brackets and cause dental caries
Which form of determining diet history is most accurate?
3 - 7 day food diary
True or False
Eating a variety of foods will help avoid deficiency
True
7 classes of nutrients obtained from foods
carbs fat protein water vitamins minerals fiber
What do fermentable carbs cause?
dental decay
What type of foods can cause dental decay?
sodas, sticky (increase bacterial growth), retentive
Frequency of consuming cariogenic foods?
eating foods with fermentable carbohydrates frequently throughout the day has greatest potential for decay; decrease in pH begins within 2 - 3 min(Stephan curve); low-fat dairy products, 100% fruit juice, and water are preferable beverage alternatives; fruit juice limited to 4 - 6 oz./day
BMI
mathematical calculation using a person’s height and weight to determine weight status and to predict health risks that increase at higher levels of overweight and obesity
Foods with high protein
pork chop, beef, chicken, pinto beans, cheese, cottage cheese, fish, egg, milk, peanut butter, milkshake, rice
True or False
Texture and frequency is important
True
Having a full upper denture can cause what types of problems?
temperature (cannot feel how hot it is)
mechanical problems
loss of taste
Recommendations for xerostomia
softer foods, ice chips, sauces and gravies, biotene
Nutrient dense
containing a high percentage of nutrients in relation to the number of kilocalories provided
Which animal products are high in carbohydrates?
milk/lactose
Why is dietary fiber important
sources of dietary fiber contain other macronutrients (digestible CHO and protein); non digestible (cannot digest and absorb substance - plant cells); soluble or insoluble fiber whether they become viscous in water. Insoluble and soluble have different physiological functions in the body
True or False
Nutrition goals must be realistic and attainable
True
Fortification
process of adding nutrients not present in the natural product or to increase the amount above that in the original product
Monosaccharides vs. polysaccharides
mono: absorbed without further suggestion, simplest carbohydrates, greatest significance in foods and body: glucose, fructose, galactose
poly: contain more than 10 monosaccharides; create cellulose; some are digestive; fiber is largely indigestible by intestinal enzymes in humans
What type of interview process is best for diet planning?
open ended questions (be a good listener!)
BMI for healthy weight
< 25
BMI for overweight
> 25
BMI for obesity
> 30
What is the method for defining healthy weight?
BMI
Adequate intake
average amount of nutrient that appears to maintain a defined nutritional state
Function of carbohydrates
energy, fat storage, conversion to other carbohydrates, conversion to amino acids, protein sparers, gastrointestinal motility, intestinal bacteria
