Document Summary

Nutrition: study of how foods affect the functioning and health of our bodies. Nutrients: substances in food that is essential for normal growth, health maintenance/repair of our bodies. Essential nutrients: can not synthesized in the body must be provided by the diet. Growth failure & deficiency symptoms- prevented by consuming nutrient/specific precursors. Water, nine amino acids, two fatty acids, water-soluble vitamins, fat soluble vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, electrocytes, ultratrace elements. Nonessential nutrients: can be deleted from the diet synthesized in the body. Carbohydrates - fuel for atp part of glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleic acid. 130g/day, 45-65% total calorie intake, less carbs = protein & fat used for energy. Monosaccharides: glucose (fuel used by cells to make atp, excess converted to glycogen and fat) , fructose and galactose (both converted to glucose by the liver) Insoluble, soluble fiber -both fiber types are non-digestible. Functions: energy source/storage, structure of cellular membranes, protection, thermal insulation, vitamin carrier, regulation.
