Food Nutrition and Health Revision

NOTE

Food is any solid or liquid substance that is eaten provides the body with necessary materials for it to
grow and function normally

Diet and health


HEALTH IS THE STAE OF BEING FREE FROM ILLNESS OF INJURIES

Physical health

Physical health is how well your body functions covering everything from illnesses to fitness

How is physical health mentioned?

 Getting enough sleep


 Eating the right amount of nutrients
 Moving regularly
 Limit alcohol consumption
 Avoiding smoking and drug use

Mental health

Is a state of wellbeing in which every individual relishes or her own potential and can cope with the
normal stresses of life and can work fruitfully and be an interactive person?

Mental health is how we think feel and act

Mental health is mostly affected by

 Genes
 Stress
 Family history
 Current circumstance
 Life experiences
 Isolation etc.

Social health

Social health is your ability to form and maintain strong meaning full relationship with others

Factors affecting social health includes

 Life changes
 Unemployment
 Illness etc.
Diet

a diet is the food that a person normally eats everyday

Types of diet

 Balanced diet (foods that contain the right amount of nutrients for the body)
 Special diet (a diet that consist of specific food for various reasons)
 Reducing diet (a diet design to help reduced weight)
 High fiber (they contain high fiber so they are more filling)
 Low fat sugar and salt diet (a diet that is low in salt sugar and fats it can help us manage our
weight batter and prevent lifestyles disease)

Dietary Guidelines

Dietary guidelines are a series of dietary (these are designed to be used by the general public)
recommendations which describe the best approach to eating for a long and health life. which are
usually made by the government. They are broad and unspecific

Governments in all countries have the responsibility for nutrition and health in the population

Guidelines for the Caribbean

Because they are similar they have similar guidelines

Nutrition and health

What is nutrition?

Nutrients is the substances/ molecules found in food used by the body for energy repairs growth and
maintenance of body tissues

The study of nutrients and their relationship with food and living things is called nutrition

Nutritional status

Nutritional status is how healthy the body is

This can be influenced by

 The quantity of food intake


 The person’s physical health

One can find out a person national status by conducting a nutritional assessment

ABCDs of nutritional assessment

Anthropometry

This is the measurement of human body. these measurements can be used to tell is a person is growing
normally for their age etc.

Some of the analysis made are


 Height for age
 Weight foe age
 Weight for height

Theses analysis are then compared to the standard to see if a person is growing normally

Body mass index (BMI)

This is usually used to classify underweight and overweight or obesity in adults

Analysis are made using the (WHR) waist to hip ratio

Biochemical assessment

Is the conducting of test to see what is going on internally in the body?

Test can be done of blood urine

Clinical assessment or physical examination

These are done to reveals sings of nutrient deficiency or toxicity

The tests are done based on your appearance

Dietary analysis

This is the process of evaluating what people eat

It can be used to identify nutrients that are over or under eaten and also to identify food patterns
and preferences

Some methods used are

24hour recall

Food records

Food frequency questionnaire

Community Nutrition

Community nutrition is the wide range of programs and delivery settings for disease maintenance
and nutrition related information and the education and health care services to a population within
a particular area.

Importance

 Supports communities to access nutritional information like how to prevent diseases


screening and referral
 Promotes good health and hygiene
 Provides nutrition education to vulnerable group
 Promotes dietary guidelines

Vulnerable groups

 Infants toddlers Elderly


 Pregnant and lactating women
 specially abled
 Poverty stricken

Organization Involved in community Nutrition

 Ministry of health
 Nutrition center
 Hospitals
 Public health care clinics

Regional and Internal Organizations

 World food programs (WFP)


 World health organization (WHO)
 Food and agriculture organizations
 United nations children found (UNICEF)
Nutrition and health
The nutrition
There are 5 main groups of nutrition
 Protein
 Fats
 Carbohydrates
 Vitamins
 Minerals
Each group then are divided into their own chemical names

Macro-nutrients
They are need in large amounts e.g
 Protein
 Carbohydrates
 Menials such as (sodium calcium potassium phosphorus and magnesium)

Micro-nutrients
They are needed in smaller amounts
 Vitamins
 Essential fatty acids
 Trace elements such as (iron zinc copper iodine selenium chromium cobalt)

Water is vital for life


Dietary fibers or non-starch polysaccharide (NSP)

DRVs Dietary Reference Values


EAR Estimated average requirements
RNI reference nutrient intake
RDA recommended dietary allowance
Protein
nitrogenous organic compounds which have large molecules
composed of one or more long chains of amino acids 

The cells in our body contain protoplasm which contains the protein
Proteins have specific function
 Structural support
 Bodily movement
 Defence against germs

Types of protein
Body building or growth protein
This is the primary function of protein eg
 Protein collagen help build bones
 Protein in muscles helps it to contract
 Protein in hair skin nails provided protective covering
 Protein in blood helps it to be elastic

Vital body protein are in a constant state of break down and are
needed for repair replacement maintenance
The life span of a cell is 30 days
E.g. the gastrointestinal track sloughed every 3 days

Protein is needed to build

 Enzymes /catalysts speed up chemical reaction in the body and


facilitate chemical reaction in the body (E.G. lactase breaks down the
sugar lactose, Pepsins works in the stomach to break down protein

 Hormonal protein these are messenger proteins that helps


coordinates certain body activities (insulin regulates blood sugar
Thyroxin regulates body metabolic rate

 Antibodies theses are proteins that defend the body against diseases
promotes antibody activity
 Transports are protein transporters (hemoglobin moves oxygen
around the body Lipoproteins moves liquids

 Regulators of fluid balance maintain water balance

 Key protein cannot do its job without carbohydrates because


carbohydrates give protein cell their energy

Chemical view of protein


Protein contains
 Oxygen
 hydrogen
 carbon
 Nitrogen
 Sometimes Sulphur and phosphorus

Protein is different from all the rest because in is the only one that
contain nitrogen
Proteins are made from small units of amino acids there are 22
different types of amino acids

Sources of protein
Of the 22 amino acids
10 is responsible for growth and repair in children
8 are responsible for repair and maintenance in adults

Protein is not made in the human body so the are obtained through
food

Proteins that contain all the indispensable amino acids in sufficient


quantities are said to be High Biological Values (HBV) or complete
protein, which are sourced from animals

The ones that are low are considered of low biological value (LBV) or
incomplete protein which are sourced from plants
Complementary protein

Protein requirements
Examples of people that require more protein
 Babies
 Adolescents
 Pregnant women
 Nursing mother
Health effects of protein
7 grams of protein is needed for every 20lb of body weight
Eating too little protein can cause protein energy malnutrition which can
lead to kwashiorkor
Eating too much leads to weight gain
Chemical names of protein
 Collagen source meat fish function connective tissues
 Myosin meat fish muscle tissues
 Elastin meat muscle fibers
 Caseinogen milk and cheese
 Lactablbumin milk
 Ovalbumin egg white
 Mucin egg white

Health diseases

 Bone loss as protein is increased calcium deceased this


happens because the acids releases from eating protein
causes the skeleton system to dresses it calcium levels

 Low intake of fiber causing constipation

 Kidneys diseases
 Effect on the heart
Fats
What is fat
Fat is a natural oily substance occurring in animal bodies
Types of fats
Visible easy to detect in foods
Invisible not easy to detect
Function of fats
 Supply energy
 Protection
 From parts of cell membrane
 Provides fat soluble vitamins
 Provides texture and flavor
 Slow digestion so it gives a feeling of fullness
Sources of fats
 Avado
 Butter
 Oil
 Meat

Essential fatty acids (EFA)


Are fats needed by the body but its not produced by the body
Some essential fatty acids are
Linoleic acid and linolenic that are found mainly in plant oils
They are needed for the brain development in babies
Omega 6 and omega 3 are also important EFAs the help lower cholesterol
and prevent blood clots

Dietary reference of fat


Animal source
 Meats
 dairy products
 Egg
 Fish
Plant source
 Seeds
 Nuts and pulses
 Kernels
 fruits

The chemical view of fat


Fats is solid at room tem
Oil is liquid at room temp
Lipids are used to describe fats
The family of lipids consist of
 Triglycerides
 Phospholipids
 Sterols

Triglycerides
Scientific name is triglycerol or triglycerides

This is the most common type of fat found in the body


There are 40 known types of fatty acids whit their own chemical names

The can either be saturated or unsaturated fats according to the arrangement


of the carbon and hydrogen atoms

They are composed of


Hydrogen
Carbon
Oxygen
These elements come together to form glycerol and fatty acids which form
fat molecules.3 fatty acids plus one unit of glycerol is one fat molecule.

Saturated fatty acids


All the carbon atoms are saturated whit the hydrogen atoms are can’t accept
more
Example
 Butyric acid (milk and cheeses)
 Palmitic acid animals fats)
 Lauric acid (dairy foods and coconut oil
 Stearic acids (beef fat)

Unsaturated fatty acids


The carbon atom are bonded together with the hydrogen by a double bond and are
able to accept more
The may either be cis and Tran cis is said to be better
Monounsaturated fatty acids have one double bond eg oleic acid found in animal
and plant fats especially olive oil

polyunsaturated fatty acids have more than one double bond eg linoleic acid found
in veg oil
note unsaturated fats are occur mainly in oils
Phospholipids
The most phosplipids are lecithin
The fatty acids allow them to be soluble in other fats
The phosphate allows them to be dissolvable in water
Which make the important in the transport of lipids in the blood streams
The also acts as emulsifiers in the body helping to keep fats suspended in the blood
and body fluids
Phospholipids are found natural in foods
The best sources of lecithin are lecithin is not needed because it is produced by
our livers
 Egg yolks
 Liver
 Wheat
 Soy
 Peanut

Sterols
They are very different from other lipids
The most common one is cholesterol this is white fatty substance produced by the
liver
Cholesterol is found in all parts of the body except in the cell membranes
Only food from animals contain cholesterol
 Orang meat
 Brain
 Egg yolks
 Shellfish
 Dairy product
Low density lipoproteins (LDLs)bad Cholesterol
High density lipoproteins (HDLs) good Cholesterol theses carry lipids and
cholesterol to all parts of the body

Health effects of fats


 Heart diseases
 High cholesterol
 Increased blood clots
 Trans fats are made through a process called hydrogenation
 Obesity
 Cancer

Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are energy given foods

Function of carbohydrates
 Most important source of energy to the body
 Provided glucose as energy to cells
 Acts as a protein spare
 Prevent ketosis (break down of fats)

The chemical view point of carbohydrates


Carbohydrates contain
Carbon
Oxygen
Hydrogen
It has the same properties as H2O hence the term hydrates
Carbohydrates are produced by plants through photosynthesis
Classification of carbohydrates
Groups of carbs
 Simple carbs (sugars)
 Complex carbs (starches and fibers)
Monosaccharides
Simple carbs/simple sugars
They are the base units for other carbs the are soluble in water
There are 3 main types of monosaccharides
 Fructose fruit sugar
 Glucose used for energy all carbs are broken down to glucose through
digestion
 Galactose is found in milk of mammals forms part of the sugar lactose
Disaccharides/ double sugars
Composed of two monosaccharides
Types of disaccharides
 Sucrose (glucose+fructose used in cookery are obtained from refining sugar)
 Lactose (glucose+galatos found in milk of mammals)
 Maltose/malt sugar (glucose+glucose found in cereals)

Classification of sugar
 Intrinsic sugars (forms part of the cells structure)
 Extrinsic sugars the are non-milk extrinsic sugars(NMES)

Polysaccharides
Are complex carbs and are usually insoluble in cold water and are taste less
 Starch (formed from many glucoses linked together)
 Dextrin (starch are heated is eg bread it forms the crust and is more soluble
than starch)
 Cellulose ( formed from units of glucose)
 Pectin (complex polysaccharide that forms gels in water)
 Glycogen (it is the trans formation of glucose form easy storage in the liver
and muscles and is reconverted to original state if needed for energy)
 Non-starch polysaccharides (NSP)
 Includes cellulose pectin gums basically dietary fibers
