1) Rewards and punishments
2) Commemorate milestones- Ex. birthdays, anniversary, high school and college graduations, etc.
3) Comfort and security (Ex. based on how well off you are financially)
4) Culture/tradition(s)
5) Availability/in season
6) Social interactions

Fortification helps eliminate nutrient deficiencies

1) Phytochemicals are substances found in plant foods that are not essential nutrients, but may have health-promoting properties
2) Zoochemicals are substances found within animal foods that have heal-promoting properties

1) Inorganic nutrients do not contain carbon
2) Organic nutrients contain carbon

***There are 3 types of carbs***
1) Sugar (carbs are either a simple or complex sugar)- Ex. apple, which contains natural sugars found within the apple
2) Starch (rice and potatoes)
3) Fiber (flax seed and avocados)

7) One's environment (Ex. if you have only healthy/unhealthy food at your house, then you will eat healthy or unhealthy)
8) The cost of food (That's why people need to budget and know how and what to buy when)
9) Healthy reasons, like:
*Allergies
*Weight control- weight gain/loss
* Treatment/prevention of chronic disease

The federal government mandates the fortification of certain nutrients be added to food, like:
1) Vitamin D to milk
2) B vitamins added to grains
3) Various vitamins added to breakfast cereals

A food that provides health and benefits beyond that of a foods' nutrient contributions

1) Inorganic nutrients do not contain carbon are minerals & are found on the periodic table
2) Organic nutrients contain carbon and are vitamins and macronutrients

Proteins are found in most food groups

A nutrient is a structure within food that helps provide energy, give structure to the body, and helps regulate body processes

A product sold that helps supplement nutrients within one's diet

1) There are six essential nutrients
2) The essential nutrients are:
1) Proteins
2) Carbs
3) Lipids (Fats)
4) Water
5) Vitamins
6) Minerals

1) Fe (iron)
2) Na (sodium)
3) Ca (calcium)
4) K (potassium)
5) Cl (Chlorine)
***Inorganic nutrients is also water***

Protein helps with various roles within the body, such as repairing muscles after one workouts

Nutrient density is a measure of nutrients from a food relative to the calorie content within the food

Vitamins, minerals, amino acids (proteins), fatty acids, enzymes (helps with the breakdown of proteins), herbs, etc.

Nutrients help provide:
1) Energy (for our cells to do work)
2) Structure (for muscles, bones, etc.)
3) Regulation/function (body temp, blood pressure, hormones, etc.)

Vitamins and macronutrients

The fat soluble vitamins are: A,D,E,&K
The water soluble vitamins are: B & C
The macronutrients are: Protein, carbs, lipids (fats), & water

1) Saturated
2) Monosaturated
3) Omega 3 & 6 (good for your heart)
4) Cholesterol (our bodies naturally make cholesterol, but if we ingest cholesterol from food our arteries are essentially becoming blocked with fat and blood, cells, etc. cannot flow properly to your heart

The addition of nutrients to food

Plant and animal sources, which = energy for the maintenance of life and repair of tissue

1) Macronutrients: 2) Micronutrients
1) Protein 1) Vitamins
2) Carbs 2) Minerals
3) Lipids (fat)
4) Water

1) There are 4 macro-nutrients
1) Protein
2) Carbs
3) Lipids (fats)
4) Water

2) There are 2 micro-nutrients
1) Vitamins
2) Minerals

Vitamins and minerals (minerals are found on the periodic table)
