NUTRI 2 Flashcards
● A liberal supply of easy to digest CHO is
recommended to spare CHON, provide quick
energy & replenish depleted glycogen stores
CARBOHYDRATES
● An increased intake of fats in emulsied form e.g. in
eggs, cream, milk margarine & butter is suggested
to supply additional calories.
FATS
● Capable of being converted into ketone bodies.
● High in fat, moderate in protein, low in
carbohydrates
KETOGENIC
● Preventing or suppressing the development of
ketones (ketone bodies) & thus preventing
development of ketosis.
● Too much ketones can damage brain and cause
development of ketosis
ANTIKETOGENIC
● Increased water intake is needed to replenish uid
losses from vomiting, urination, diarrhea or sweating
& to facilitate excretion of toxic products.
● Fluid needs may be as high as 3-4 L/day.
● Sources: water, broth, and fruit juice & milk
beverage.
WATER
● Electrolyte balance has to be restored hand in hand
with water balance.
● Salty broths, fruit juices, succulent fruits &
vegetables, milk drinks supply minerals particularly
Na & K.
MINERALS
● Enhanced diet with vitamins A, C, B complex from
food & beverages sources.
● These micronutrients are greatly utilized & or
excreted during hypermetabolic states
