Nutrition definition
Nutrition may be defined as the:
• science of food and its relationship to health.
• It is concerned primarily with the part played by nutrients in:
- body growth,
- development and
- maintenance
![Page 8: Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition•Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition. •The Nutrients & their Categories. •Nutritional Allowances & Requirements •Spectrum](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040109/5e719e0af0c8d135b55a183a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Nutrition deals with providing the right nutrients in the right
amounts in the diet.
• Definition
– Deals with the nutrients needed, their metabolism, feeds that supply them, and feeding systems to provide them
![Page 9: Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition•Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition. •The Nutrients & their Categories. •Nutritional Allowances & Requirements •Spectrum](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040109/5e719e0af0c8d135b55a183a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
PERSPECTIVES ON NUTRITION
• To scientists, nutrition is the study of: – The nutrients found in foods – The body’s handling of
nutrients to maintain health • Nutrients (some of which
provide energy for processes in the body) are substances that can promote: – Growth – Maintenance
– Repair
For many, nutrition is all
about losing weight!
![Page 10: Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition•Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition. •The Nutrients & their Categories. •Nutritional Allowances & Requirements •Spectrum](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040109/5e719e0af0c8d135b55a183a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Nutrition definition
• “The science/study of nutrients (that come from food), their action, interaction, and balance in relation to health and disease; and the process by which the organism (body) ingests, digests, absorbs, transports, utilizes and execrates food substances”
• .. Science of food and its relationship to health…
• .. Is a dynamic process in which the food that is consumed is utilized for nourishing the body..
![Page 11: Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition•Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition. •The Nutrients & their Categories. •Nutritional Allowances & Requirements •Spectrum](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040109/5e719e0af0c8d135b55a183a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
NUTRITION AND HEALTH
• Health professionals agree that the overall composition of the diet has an important effect on health.
• Eating too much fat, sat. fat and cholesterol and not eating enough vegetables, fruits, and fiber has been linked to an increase in heart disease and other cancers.
• The association of nutrition with infection, immunity, fertility, maternal and child health and family health have engaged scientific attention. More recently, a great deal of interest has been focused on the role of dietary factors in the pathogenesis of non-communicable diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
• The federal government constantly revises its official U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans to help consumers choose a healthy diet. These guidelines make Recommendations for Americans 2 years of age and older.
![Page 12: Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition•Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition. •The Nutrients & their Categories. •Nutritional Allowances & Requirements •Spectrum](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040109/5e719e0af0c8d135b55a183a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Significance of nutrition
• Adequate nutrition is required for growth, development and maintenance of normal functions
• Under nutrition contributes to 60% deaths amongst under five children (WHO, 2002)
• More than 85% children in India suffer from malnutrition (44% Mild malnutrition, 38% moderate malnutrition and 4.6% severe malnutrition) (Gomez classification, NNMB 2007)
• About 55% men and 75% non pregnant non lactating women are anemic
• Epidemiological data shows strong association between under nutrition and morbidity / mortality
• Chronic degenerative disorders such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, etc are related to diet and nutritional status
• Obesity is associated with higher risk of developing cancer breast, colon, endometrium, gallbladder, esophagus, pancreas, etc.
• Consumption of foods rich in dietary fibre and antioxidants is associated with reduced risk of certain cancers
• Under nutrition during fetal and early childhood is known to be associated with chronic degenerative disorders in later life

Diet, Dietetetics and Good nutrition
– Diet: a mixture of foodstuffs, which are selected to satisfy the daily nutritional requirements of the body…. The foods one consumes: The quality of which
affects the risk of chronic diseases
• Dietetetics:.the practical application of principles of nutrition: includes the planning of meals for the well and the sick.
• Good nutrition : “ maintaining a nutritional status that enables us to grow well and enjoy good health”
![Page 14: Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition•Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition. •The Nutrients & their Categories. •Nutritional Allowances & Requirements •Spectrum](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040109/5e719e0af0c8d135b55a183a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Characteristics of a Healthy Diet Include:
– Balance
– Variety
– Moderation
These three are the framework of the Food Guide Pyramid:
• Balance - Eat foods from all groups of the Food Guide Pyramid.
• Variety - Eat different foods from each food group.
• Moderation - Eat more foods from the bottom of the pyramid, and fewer and smaller portions of foods from the top of the pyramid.
![Page 15: Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition•Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition. •The Nutrients & their Categories. •Nutritional Allowances & Requirements •Spectrum](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040109/5e719e0af0c8d135b55a183a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Adequate nutrition is characterized by:
1-Daily intake of nutrients, which are
(quantitatively and qualitatively).
2-Adequate nutrition should consider
physiological status and pathological
disorders.
3- Normal digestion, absorption,
metabolism, excretion.

Food Additives
• Many additives occur naturally or are extracted from food. Others are synthetic but chemically identical to natural substances.
• All food additives are carefully regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.
• Additives help keep food wholesome and appealing during transport to markets.
• Without additives, many food items would be less attractive, less flavorful, less nutritious, more likely to spoil, and more costly.
19
A food additive is a chemical substance or combination of substances present in food as a result of processing, production, or packaging.

HOW MUCH FOOD DO WE NEED?
RDA (recommended dietary allowances)
• The RDA of a nutrient is the amount (of that nutrient) sufficient for the maintenance of health in nearly all people
DRI (dietary reference intake) Standards to guide safe & adequate intakes of essential nutrients for healthy humans.
Sick individuals have different needs
• Recently replaced RDA as primary standards
• Expands on RDAs
![Page 21: Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition•Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition. •The Nutrients & their Categories. •Nutritional Allowances & Requirements •Spectrum](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040109/5e719e0af0c8d135b55a183a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• DRIs are a collection of values to express a persons nutrient need based on their life stage & gender.
• The exact DRI value may be as an RDA, AI, EAR depending on scientific information available for each nutrient.
• DRIs are expressed as ULs and AMDRs.
• For Calories the DRI is called the EER.
• There is DRI recommendation for Physical activity.
• The DRIs are standards that have many important purposes and uses.

Resources for Planning a Healthy Diet
• Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)
– Reference values for nutrients developed by the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) of the Institute of Medicine
– These reference values are used to
• suggest nutrient intake levels for different population groups
• plan and evaluate the diets of healthy people in the United States and Canada
![Page 23: Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition•Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition. •The Nutrients & their Categories. •Nutritional Allowances & Requirements •Spectrum](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040109/5e719e0af0c8d135b55a183a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
DRI Reference Values
• Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR)
– Addresses the recommended balance of fuel nutrients to meet physiological needs
• Carbohydrates 45–65% of daily kcal
• Fats 20–35% of daily kcal
• Proteins 10–35% of daily kcal
![Page 24: Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition•Introduction and Terminology used in nutrition. •The Nutrients & their Categories. •Nutritional Allowances & Requirements •Spectrum](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040109/5e719e0af0c8d135b55a183a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How are DRIs established? • By scientific committee
literature review. • Nutrients are given an
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA),
• or Adequate Intake (AI),
• Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) value by life stage & gender.
RDA: level to meet 97-98% of needs AI: average or mean intake level. EAR: average daily nutrient intake level
estimated to meet the requirement of half the needs.

What Is MyPlate?
• Food guidance system – Graphics used to summarize guidelines to healthy
eating
• Visual depiction of the recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010
• Online components provide personalized diet plan based on the latest nutrition and health recommendations from – Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee Report – DRIs

Functional Foods: What Role Do They Play in Your Diet?
•Functional Foods: have a positive effect on health beyond providing basic nutrients – Example: Carrots, which contain beta-carotene, a
phytochemical that protects cells from damaging substances that increase risk of some chronic diseases, including cancer
– Zoochemicals: compounds in animal food products that benefit health • Example: Omega-3 fatty acids in fatty fish
– Manufacturers also fortify food products with phyto- or zoochemicals

• Vitamins - only organic nutrient that does not supply energy but is needed to get energy from foods.
• Essential nutrient - body cannot make enough of and must get from food.
• Some dietary and lifestyle practices (smoking, inactivity, drinking alcohol) are risk factors for many health conditions.
• Substances (non-nutrients) in foods are phytochemicals that give foods the characteristic taste and smell.

The Importance of Water
• It is necessary for an individual to drink 6-8 cups of water daily and more if participating in sports or exercising.
• Water is the most critical nutrient for sustaining life. • Two-thirds of the human body is water. • Water makes up 60% of your total body weight and 70% of your
muscles; raw meat is about 75% water and fruits and vegetables up to 95% water.
• It may take us weeks to starve, but only a very few days to dehydrate. About 3/4 of our water is contained within individual cells.
• Of the rest, most is fluid surrounding the cells, with a small amount in the blood plasma. Outside the cells, water is a means of transporting nutrients and wastes, a physical cushion, a lubricant.
• When exhaled or perspired, water removes excess heat energy from the body.
• Within the cell, it is the solvent in

Water
• What are the main functions of water? – Transports nutrients
– Carries away wastes
– Moistens eyes, mouth, nose; hydrates skin
– Forms main component of body fluids
– Acts as an insulator
– Protects against heat exhaustion
– Lubricates joints
– Helps with digestion

Types of Vitamins
• Water Soluble – Dissolve in water
– Needed for energy release
– Too many water soluble vitamins are excreted in urine
• Fat Soluble – Dissolve in fat
– Remain in the body for long periods of time
– 4 fat-soluble vitamins: A,D,E,K

Background definitions
• Nutrients: “Chemical substances in food that nourish the body by providing energy, building materials, and factors to regulate needed chemical reactions.”
• Essential nutrients: Must be provided by food because the body does not produce them in sufficient quantities or can not make them at all.
• Nonessential nutrients: Healthy, well-nourished bodies can make them in sufficient quantities to satisfy their needs.
