The process of providing or obtaining food necessary for growth

Proteins, carbohydrates, water, and fats are

Chemical elements C,H,O
monosaccharides
-glucose, fructose, galactose
Disaccharides
-Sucrose, maltose, lactose

Water soluble, energy producing, made up of chemical elements C,H,O
Sources are meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, oils, nuts, avacado

-FDA Guidelines
-Dietary guidelines for Americans 2015-2020
-USDA MYPLATE
-Evidence based nutritional information

A substance that provides nourishment essential for growth and the maintenance of life

Vitamins and minerals are

Chains of 3 or more molecules of sugar
Take longer to digest, absorb, and produce energy for the body
Types: Starch, Glycogen

-Phospholipids
-Triglycerides (Fats/oils)
-Hydrogenation
-Cholesterol
-Phospholipids
-Emulsifier
-Lecithin

Food labels are found on all processed food products
Serving size and servings per container
"Added sugars in grams"
Vitamin D, calcium, iron, potassium breakdown

Breaking down phase in which the body reduces complex substances down to simpler substances

Natural (food)
and
Artificial (supplements) are

Natural sugars
-Grains, veggies, fruits, dairy, legumes, nuts
Added sugar, sugar syrup

Form each of the boys cell membranes of every system
Produce the adrenal and sex hormones as well as bile
Protect nerves
Convert sunshine into vitamin D
Help metabolize fast soluble vitamins

Veggies including dark green, red, and orange legumes (Beans and peas)
Whole fruits, Grains, Oils, fat free/low fat dairy
Proteins (Meat, Eggs, Nuts, Seeds)

When the body uses components to build or reconstruct new components or tissue

Used instantly or stored, depending on age, gender, and activity level

Mechanical and chemical
break down all disaccharides and complex carbohydrates into monosaccharides for absorption

Lingual lipase - mouth
Gastric lipase - stomach
Bile emulsifier made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder
Pancreatic lipase

Roughage or bulk
non digestible, found in plant walls.
Soluble- dissolve in water
insoluble- absorb water making stools larger and softer

The chemical and physical process required to build and maintain body tissues

Bodies primary source of heat and energy
Building and repairing, replacing hormones/enzymes
prevents ketosis

Monosaccharides absorbed through the liver
In the liver fructose and galactose are change to glucose
circulating monosaccharide = glucose
liver releases glucose

95% absorbed

Lowers cholesterol, Promotes normal bowel function, increases absorption of minerals, decreases colon PH, weight loss, supports GI tract normal flora
