Document Summary
Macronutrients: know that the energy requirements of the organism are met by macronutrient metabolism and how balancing of macronutrient uptake with energy expenditure is important in maintaining health. Quantity of the macronutrient: addressed in amdr, understand that the quality of the macronutrient will impact on health and what that means for each macronutrient. Quality of the macronutrient: what do we mean by quality of macronutrient, what effects do macronutrient quality have on health, understand that fat is important in vitamin absorption, production of steroids, bile salts and lipoproteins. Some fats are essential: linoleic acids, -linolenic acids fat soluble vitamins are absorbed and transported with fats metabolism of fat provides energy fats are necessary for the production of steroid hormones, bile salts and lipoproteins. Metabolism of fats: understand that fats are stored and transported between adipose, liver and muscle tissue by lipoproteins. Know the hdl and the ldl levels impact on morbidity.
