• Nutrients are substances found in foods that provide energy and materials for cell development, growth, and repair.
• The amount of energy available in food is measured in calories

• There are 6 kinds of nutrients:
–Proteins–Carbohydrates– Fats–Vitamins–Minerals–Water

• Proteins are large molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. They are made up of amino acids.
• Amino acids are the building blocks of protein– Essential amino acids cannot be made by the
body’s cells, and must be supplied by the food you eat
• Protein is used for growth and repair of body cells and helps to form muscle, skin and hair

• Carbohydrates are the main source of energy in the body
• All carbohydrates are not the same
![Page 7: Nutritio nand digestion1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042815/556e6a50d8b42a6a248b5153/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
* There are three types of carbohydrates: sugar, starch and fiber
- Sugars are simple carbohydrates- Found in table sugar, fruits, honey, milk…
- Simple carbohydrates are digested and absorbed quickly
![Page 8: Nutritio nand digestion1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042815/556e6a50d8b42a6a248b5153/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Starches and fiber are complex carbohydrates
• Complex carbohydrates are absorbed more slowly; they help maintain healthy blood sugar levels facilitate steady, long-lasting bouts of energy

• Starches are made up of many simple sugars in long chains–Pasta, potatoes, rice, white breads…

• Fiber is found in the cell walls of plant cells
• Fiber cannot be digested. It is needed to keep your digestive system healthy
- Fiber is found in whole grain breads and
cereals, beans, vegetables and fruits

• Fats or lipids are necessary nutrients because they provide energy and help your body absorb vitamins
– Fat tissue cushions your internal organs
– Fat is a storage unit for energy; it can release twice as much energy as carbs
– Excess energy from all foods you eat is converted to fat and stored for later use.

• Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature–Vegetable oils, avocado, the fats in nuts and
seeds
![Page 14: Nutritio nand digestion1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042815/556e6a50d8b42a6a248b5153/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Saturated fats are solid at room temperature
–Animal products such as meat and milk are sources of saturated fat
– Saturated fats are associated with high levels of cholesterol in the blood
• Cholesterol can block blood supply to organs and increase blood pressure. This can lead to heart disease and stroke

• Vitamins are organic nutrients needed in small amounts for growth, regulating body functions, and preventing diseases.
• Most foods provide some vitamins, but no one food has them all
* Organic means that they are derived from living matter

• Minerals are inorganic nutrients that regulate chemical reactions in the body
• Your body uses about 14 different minerals
• The minerals used in largest amounts are calcium and phosphorus
• Other minerals include potassium, iron, and sodium

• Water is the most important nutrient for survival
• The human body as about 60 percent water
– Your cells need water to carry out their functions
![Page 21: Nutritio nand digestion1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042815/556e6a50d8b42a6a248b5153/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Your body loses water through breathing, sweat, and excretion
• Water needs to be replaced every day
• Water is not only found in liquids but also in many foods
![Page 22: Nutritio nand digestion1](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042815/556e6a50d8b42a6a248b5153/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Because no food has every nutrient, you need to eat a variety of foods to maintain optimum health.
• A food group is a collection of foods that contain the same type of nutrient
• There are five food groups:–Bread/cereal–Vegetables– Fruit–Dairy–Meat/beans
