nutrition power point Flashcards
malnutrition is
imbalance in the amount of nutrient intake and the body need
Basal metabolic rate
minimum amout of energy required to maintain body functions in resting, awake state
major biochemeical process of metabolism
anabolism
catabolism
anabolism is
use of energy to change simple materials into complex body substances and tissue
catabolism is
breaking down of substances from complex to simple resulting in a energy release
continuous process of metabolism means.
metabolism is dependent on the intake of proper nutrition
nutrients structure
Macronutrients
Micronutrients
Macronutrients are
carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and water
(nutrients that are needed in large amounts)
Micronutrients
minerals and vitamins (needed by the body in smaller amounts)
carbohydrates is either
simple or complex
carbs shoud be __% to __% of daily calories
40-60
fiber is either
soluble or insoluble
soluble fiber
mixes with water and forms a gel-like substance (slower digestion)
insoluble fiber
does not retain water but allows formation of bulk, resulting in accelerated passage of the end products of food through the intestines and a slowing of starch absorption
how much kilocalories are carbs
4 per gram
fats have __ kcal per____
9, gram
fat types
lipids
trigylcerides
saturated fatty acids
monosaturated fatty acids
polysaturated fatty acids
trans fatty acids
unsaturated “essential” fatty acids
lipids are

triglycerides are the
most abundant lipids in food
saturated fatty acids diatery
margarine, shortenings, pastries, crackers, fried food, cheese, ice cream, and other processed foods; raise cholesterol.

4 kcal per gram
amino acids are
bulding block of protien
must be consumed daily
does not produce or store
protien is either
complete or incomplete
complete Protient
contain all essential amino acids (animal based foods, soybeans)
incomplete protiens
lack on or more essential amino acids
incomplete protiens examples
beans, peas, nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, bread/ bread products
water is
a component of the body intra and take 2/3 of it
and take 1/3 of extracellular fluid
dehydation is
lack of enough fluid in the body; body cannot transport nutrients and organ system is affected
water intoxication is
too much fluid in the body causes hyponatremia due to dilution, caused by too much water intake or body holding fluid for another reason
