 What Is Nutrition?

Nutrition is:
utilization of food to grow, repair and maintain our
bodies;
getting the right amount of nutrients from healthy
foods in the right combinations;
making smart choices about the foods you eat;
proper nutrition helps you develop and maintain
good health;
a choice choose good nutrition and a healthy
lifestyle!
Example of Carbohydrates foods

Here are food groups and a few

examples of where you'll find
Dairy. Milk and yogurt
Grains. Bread, rice, crackers, and cereal.
Starchy Vegetables. Potatoes and corn.
Beans and other plant-based proteins.
Carbohydrates function
Carbohydrates are the main energy source for the
brain. Without carbohydrates, the body could not
function properly. Sources include fruits, breads
and grains, starchy vegetables and sugars. Make at
least half of the grains you consume whole grains.
Whole grains and fruit are full of fiber, which
reduces the risk of coronary heart disease and
helps maintain normal blood glucose levels.
What happens if you dont get enough
carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates are degraded into sugar which, as a

primary energy source, is required for the brain,
muscles and other parts of the human body to function
normally. When you dont get enough carbohydrates,
the level of sugar in your blood may drop to below the
normal range (70-99 mg/dL), causinghypoglycemia.
Your body then starts to burn fat for energy, leading to
ketosis.
Symptoms of hypoglycemia include:

Hunger
Shakiness
Dizziness
Confusion
Difficulty speaking
Example of protein foods
Eggs
Oats
Greek Yogurt
Milk
Broccoli
Tuna
Fish
Protein functions
Protein is the major structural component of cells
and is responsible for the building and repair of
body tissues. Protein is broken down into amino
acids, which are building blocks of protein. Nine of
the 20 amino acids, known as essential amino
acids, must be provided in the diet as they cannot
be synthesized in the body. Ten to 35 percent of
your daily calories should come from lean protein
sources such as low-fat meat, dairy, beans or eggs.
What happen if you eat
way too much protein
Whenyouconsume moreproteinthan
your body needs, theexcess proteinis
used to provide your body with energy or
turned into fat.Youcan't store extra amino
acids orproteinfor later use, soif
youconsumetoomany calories in an effort
to increase yourproteinintakeyouwill
gain weight.
Example of fat foods
Pizza
Burger
Fried chicken
Cheese
fat functions
Fat is an energy source that when consumed,
increases the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins
including vitamins A, D, E and K. Twenty to 35
percent of your daily intake should come from fat.
Choose healthy options such as omega-3-rich
foods like fish, walnuts and vegetable-based oils.
Omega-3s help with development and growth.
Limit intake of saturated fats such as high-fat
meats and full-fat dairy. Other smart choices
include nuts, seeds and avocado.
Example of vitamins food
Broccoli
Red bell pepper
Papaya
Banana
Carrots or carrot juice
Vitamins function
Vitamin C is necessary for the synthesis of collagen,
which provides structure to blood vessels, bone and
ligaments. Rich sources include citrus fruits,
strawberries and peppers. Folate, found in foods,
helps to prevent birth defects. Pregnant women or
women who plan to become pregnant should speak
with their physician about taking a folic acid
supplement, the synthetic form of folate, in addition
to their diet. Vitamin D helps to maintain calcium
homeostasis. It can be found in food sources or
synthesized by the sun.
What happens if you take too
many vitamins ?
GettingToo MuchofVitaminsAnd
Minerals. ... But routinely getting an
overload ofvitaminsand minerals can
hurtyou.Too much vitaminC or zinc
could cause nausea, diarrhea, and stomach
cramps.Too muchselenium could lead to
hair loss, gastrointestinal upset, fatigue,
and mild nerve damage.
Minerals
Like vitamins, minerals are substances
found in food that your body needs for
growth and health. There are two kinds of
minerals: macrominerals and trace
minerals. Macrominerals are minerals your
body needs in larger amounts. They
includecalcium,
phosphorus,magnesium,sodium,potass
ium, and chloride.
Minerals functions
Sodium helps to maintain fluid volume outside of
the cells and helps cells to function normally. Keep
intake under 2,400 milligrams per day. Potassium
maintains fluid volume inside and outside of cells
and prevents the excess rise of blood pressure with
increased sodium intake. Rich sources include
bananas, potatoes and tomatoes. Calcium helps to
maintain and build strong bones and teeth.
Include three servings of calcium-rich foods per
day including milk, low-fat cheese and yogurt
What happens if you eat too
many minerals?
Excessiron consumption can cause
constipation, nausea, upset stomach and
vomiting. Extreme overdoses of iron can
cause coma, convulsions and multi-system
organ failure and may lead to death. ...Too
muchcalcium is known to lead to
hypercalcemia, kidney stones and
constipation.
Foods containing soluble fibre
and
Oats
Lentils
Fruits including pear and apples
Foods containing insoluble fibre
Wheat bran
Dried fruits
Corn including popcorn
Fibre
Fiber: The parts
offruitsandvegetablesthat cannot be
digested.Fiberis of vital importance to
digestion; it helps the body
movefoodthrough the digestive tract,
reduces serum cholesterol, and contributes
to disease protection. Also known as bulk
and roughage.
Water functions
Water helps to maintain homeostasis in the body
and transports nutrients to cells. Water also
assists in removing waste products from the body.
All beverages and high-moisture foods such as
soup and watermelon contain water and count
towards your daily water requirement. Adults
should consume 25 to 35 milliliters of fluids per
kilogram body weight or 2 to 3 liters per day.
