Nutrition week 1-6 Flashcards
how does sugar negatively impact immune system?
pro inflammatory proteins (TNFa, CRP, IL6), change microbiomes, carbs decreases phagocytic capacity of neutrophils
how can Amino acids help immune function
activate lymphocytes, NK cells, proliferate, produce antibodies
honey for immune function action
and what age is a no go– what’s the bacteria in honey
antimicrobial
under 1 year old because of clostridium botulinum
vitamin D and immune function
neutrophil killing of streptococcal bacteria
dampens excessive inflammatory response
vitamin d supplementation
D3= cholecalciferol; active form
fat soluble-take w food
2500 IU > = perspcription
for atopic dermatitis and psoriasis
vitamin D3= animal sources
vitamin D2 (ergocalcicerfol)= [plantt sources; mushrooms, alfalfa sprouts, fortified foods
vitamin c for immune
2g/d is upper limit
its acidic so can irritate GI
increase urinary excretion of uric acid
help w gout
zinc for cold
shorten duration and symptoms
30-50mg/day
reduce eczema
vitamin C
help with exercise induced respiratory infections
bad for kidney stones
probiotics
otitis media
help w antibiotics
recurrent acute otitis media
from proinflmmatory diet or meat and processed foods
which diet is associated with otitis media with effusion
high fat diet; obesity
atopic dermatitis
dairy allergie, pseudo allergens (sulfites, food colours)
fatty acids and fish oil for eczema
long, medium and short chain
omega 3= fish, flax, canola oil
omega 6= vegetable oil
omega 9= olive oil
sources of vitamin A –> can help withe eczema
liver, eggs, dairy, oily fish
vitamin A deficiency
delayed growth, infertility, increased infections, night blind, eye dry
increased risk of deficiency in: hypothyroid, fat malabsorption conditions, liver or gallbladder disease, renal disease, protein malnutrition, alcoholics
vitamin A therapeutic dose and toxicity
for acne 100-500000 IU
most supplements are 10000iu
teratogenicity: >15,000IU of preformed vit A in pregnant women can cause birth defects
contraindicated in pregnancy and women of sexual activity, patients with renal disease, liver disease, alcoholism
supplements for skin conditions
fish oil
vitamin D
zinc
vitamin A
supplements for immune support
vitamin c
zinc
probiotics
diet (no sugar, high protein)
honey
vitamin D
supplements for inflammatory joint conditions (i.e. rheumatoid arthritis)
nutrition
food triggers
specific diets
fish oil
fatty acids
folate
iron
supplements for low back pain
vitamin D
vitamin C
magnesium
proteolytic enzymes
supplements for mood disorders
diet, spices, microbiome
SAM-E
omega 3 FA
5 HTP
B vitamins
magnesium
vitamin D
rheumatoid arthritis and nutrition
malnutrition common
what immunoglobulin for food allergies and what does it cause
IgE for allergy –> antibodies trigger release of histamine –> ab pain, hives, tingle, anaphylaxis
-symptoms right after eating
i.e. eggs, milk, fish, nuts, soy, sesame, whett
food sensitivity
IgG for food sensitivity
-cramps, bloat, diarrhea, but maybe not instant (not right after eating)
elimination diet
can cause skin problems, fatigue, food cravings, IBS, runny nose, asthma, heart beats, headaches, water retention
i.e. red meat and dairy
nightshade vegetables )potatoes, eggplant, tomatoes, pepper) trigger inflammation
immunoglobulins for food allergy vs sesntiviity
IgG for food sensitivity
IgE for allergy
mediterranean diet for RA
reduce pain, increase physical function and mobility
olive oil, fish, moderate red wine
plant based (veg, whole grain, legume, nut), herbs, spices
types of vegetarian diet
lacto ovo: have milk and egg
vegan; no animal product
RA
fish oil, omega 3 to reduce joint pain and morning stiffness
what RA medication destroys which nutrient
methotrexate destroys folate (vitamin B9)
therefore supplement of eat lots of greens, fruits, fortified grains
what deficiency is common in RA
iron deficiency anemia in chronic inflammatory joint conditions
heme vs non heme iron
heme: hemoglobin and myoglobin from meat
non heme: meat, veg, molasses, enriched foods
folate is AKA vitamin B_
B9
vitamin C for bones
helps calcium absorption and can heal fractures of bones
vit C absorption decreases with increasing intake –> IV!!
unabsorbed vit C metabolized by intestinal bacteria
absorb oral vit C increases in acute illness
Whos at risk for Vit C deficiency
babies <1, elders, low fruit and veg intake, cigarette smokers, GERD
upper limit of vit C
2g/d
–>GI irritate, gas, diarrhea, dental erosion in chewables
cautions of vit C
increased risk of oxalate stones (kidney tones)
-in people with iron metabolism problems; hemachromatosis, thalassemias, sideroblastic anemia (bc helps absorb iron)
-preganat. dont do 2g/day
magnesuum
low back pain, muscles and nerve function
magnesium dfiency increased risk in and symptoms
elders, chronic alcohol abuse, renal disorders
muscle spasm, fatigue, anxiety, depression, nausea, loss of appetite, shortness of breath
top 3 vitamin deficiencys
vitamin D, calcium and magnesium
then zinc, vitamin A, vit C
magnesium contraindications
end stage renal disease, myasthenia graves, kidney stones, hyperparathyroidism, UTI
****WEEK 5 chart of all the types of magnesium slide 17
citrate
malate
oxide
chloride
l threonante
glycinate
carbonate etccccc
proteolytic enzyme use
reduce inflammation – chronic pain, osteoarthritis
which enzymes digest with macronutrient
protein fat and carb
and food sources
protein
-protease
-bromelain (pineapple)
-papain (papaya)
-nattokinase
fat
-lipase (avocado)
carb
-amylase (banana)
