Review A Flashcards
6 essential nutrients and function
provide energy = carbs, fats, proteins
helps metabolism = vitamins, minerals, water
carb, protein, fat, energy content
carb = 4 cal per gram
protein = 4 cal per gram
fat = 9 cal per gram
NONE in minerals, vitamins, water
fiber
isnt ingested in small intestines
- in plant foods
phytochemicals
nonnutritive compounds in plant foods that help fight chronic disease
3 key principle of healthy eating
balance
variety
moderation
5 overarching dietary guidelines
- healthy eating pattern across lifespan
- focus on variety, nutrient density, amount
- limit added sugars, saturated fats, sodium
- shift to healthier foods/drinks
- healthy eating patterns for all
Health eating plan includes
variety of vegetables from al subgroups
fruits
grains
fat free or low fat dairy
variety of protein foods
oils
healthy eating plan limits
saturated fats (less than 10% daily)
trans fats
added sugars (less than 10% daily)
sodium (less than 2,300 mg daily)
alcohol (1 drink = f & 2 drink = M daily)
keto AMDR
Fats: 60-80%
Protein: 15-20%
Carbs: no more than 50 g (5%)
problems with keto diet
strongly conflicting research
too many types of keto diets and they are done incorrectly
can affect people differently
keto flu when you cut our carbs quickly
could consume too many saturated fats
overweight vs obese
overweight: 10-15 pounds more than healthy weight
obese: 25-40 pounds over healthy weight
factors affecting weight gain
- healthy eating
- physical acticty
- optimal sleep
- stress reduction
- environment
- gentics
- diseases
- drugs
BMI
overweight = over 25
obese = over 30
underweight = under 18.5
Exercise prescription
150min/week cardio and 2x week weight training !
medical complications of obesity
- high BP
- stroke
- CAD
- gastrointestinal disorders
- hyhperlipidemia
- metabolic disorders
- NAFLD
Normal BP
normal = less than 120/80
systolic(120)/diastolic(80)
stroke
- !Ischemic stroke: artery to brain is blocked
-Hemorrhagic stroke: blood vessel in brain erupts
-!!Overweight/obese/high BMI increase risk for ischemic stroke but not hemorrhagic!
CAD
is a type of atherosclerosis that occurs when the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle (coronary arteries) become hardened and narrowed
colon cancer
abdominal obesity = increased risk for colon cancer
- specifically men with high BMI
Gallbladder disease
obesity = more cholesterol = more cholesterol gallstones
cardiovascular disease
leading cause of death
33% of all deaths are due to CVD
physical inactivity = higher risk of CVD
7 steps for Cardiovascular health
- Don’t smoke
- Exercise regularly
- Maintain healthy body weight
- Eat healthy and in moderation
- Healthy cholesterol lipid profile: high in HDL and low in LDL
- Normal blood glucose levels
- 7-9 hours of sleep a night
myokines
- exercise induced myokines mediate organ cross talk and improve cardiometabolic health
- are responsible for tissue repair & regeneration
4 pillars of foundation of health
- nutrition
- lifestyle
- environment
- genetics
