Q

High vs Low Nutrient Dense Foods
( define / low vs high)

A

Nutrient Density – the measure of the nutrients a
food provides relative to the energy it provides. The more nutrients and the few calories the higher the nutrient density.

High-nutrient dense foods – fruits and
vegetables, eggs provide a large number of
nutrients in relationship to calories
- fish/ fowl/lean meat, dairy products, vegetables and fruit

Low-nutrient dense foods – alcohol or sugar
are high in calories but poor in nutrients
- birthday cake ( simple sugar/carbs/ doesn’t do body good)

28
Vitamin B1-thiamin= | ( Deficiency s/s) ( sources) ( function) ## Footnote *Hint* are homeless people eating ribs often???
FUNCTION: Is used for normal signal transmission between neurons. (energy / nervous + cardiac/gi). Energy metabolism. SOURCES: pork, nuts, peas, beans defincinces :chronic alcoholics, homeless (look at primary thiamine) - LOC change, fatigue, muscle ,anorexia - Berbiberi ( Dry polynertitis = affecting nerves, muscle wasting / Wet: dilated heart myopathy and edema, Wernicke -Korsasofox
29
Vitamin B2- -Riboflavin ( FLAVOR FLAV) note=If flav doesnt perform he becomes deficent.. if he doesnt rap his tongue will turn into glass, and his lips willl close up and get locked with keys.
Antioxidant/ tissue growth. Cheilosis fissuring of lips, inflammation of mouth, and cracks.. found in milk, green vegetables. Its sensitive to light so milk is seldom sold transparent containers. seen in fad dieters, alcoholics and elderly
30
Vitamin B3-Niacin (Nicotinic Acid) * 4 D'S* | "not nice skin"
Foodto energy This acid decreases triglycerides and LDL while increasing HDL. Also treats dyslipidemia, pellagra, dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia. promotes the normal nervous system, and can produce it from the amino acid called tryptophan. all animal products. Pellagra - rough skin or photosensitive dermatitis ( pt have scaling skin, diarrhea, memory loss, dementia and death)
31
Folate-Folic acid B9 | Purpose/ defiencies * think about adolescencetts/ ## Footnote *Hint= 9 months 🤰🏾
prenatal pregnancy prevent neural teeth defects/cell development. For new cell synthesis. hemoglobin formation. green leafy/dried peas, beans,liver, oj,eggs,spinach deficiencies occur during pregnancy and adolescences when folate needs increases
32
Vitamin B12/ COBALAMIN ( define/examples/deficiency ) | helps activate what two things ## Footnote Cobra man leading his 12 men into the battle.
Helps activate folic acid. Cell production, hematopoietic, myelin synthesis. test pt with dementia for deficiency. Needs folate+ intrinsic factor to be activated ( from stomach parietal cells) nerve cells. Involved with DNA synthesis and maturation of RBC's . Deficiency rt celiac disease or low gastric acidity. BECAUSE b12 is absorption occurs where iron, folate and b12 are absorbed. Also d3mylenation of nerves irreversible nerve damage. Leads to under production of WBC n platelets, pernicious anemia ( parietal atrophy) usually require long life coblamin therapy never IV bc it's fast absorption. meats,fish,poultry, dried peas,leafy veggies, nuts,whole grains. Side effects: cobalamin helps increase the production of erythrocytes which require potassium for synthesis bc it stabilizes rbc structure. However leads to hypokalemia bc over usage. Leading to cramping, arrthymmias, and weakness.
33
Vitamin C-Ascorbic acid ( hint C) | define/examples/ deficiences ## Footnote think of "Emergen-C Gummies" and pirates

functions of water in the body ( 6)
1. Gives shape and structure to cells (intracellular fluid) 2. Regulates body temperature - absorbs heat slowly - evaporating sweat cools body 3. Helps digest and absorb nutrients - GI tract secrets 7-9 liters every day to help with absorption. Only 100cc lost in feces 4. Transports nutrients and oxygen to cells – 92% of blood plasma is water 5. Eliminates waste – excrete urine & feces - Helps maintain fluid and electrolyte balance - Major component of mucous and lubricating fluids 6. Decreases friction between joints and helps organs slide over one another ( lubrications and mucous)
44
men ____ % have more muscle and muscle cells have higher concentrations women ____ % elderly ____ % (more fat relative to lean body mass - not as much water reserve - increased risk dehydration. newborn ____% ( also at risk for dehydration because large body surface area essential nutrient.
