the Life Cycle 8th Edition By Judith E. Brown
(All Chapters, 100% Original Verified, A+
Grade)
What is nutrition? - Correct Answer--A growing,
interdisciplinary science that studies foods, their nutrients
and other chemical constituents, and the effects of food
constituents on health.
Food Insecurity - Correct Answer--limited or uncertain
availability of safe, nutritious foods
(about 14% of US households)
Calorie - Correct Answer--a measure of the amount of energy
supplied by food
Nutrients - Correct Answer--chemical substances in food
that are used by the body for growth and health
Essential Nutrients (define and list) - Correct Answer--
Substances that are required for growth and health that the
body cannot produce - must come from diet
1. Carbohydrates
,2. Certain amino acids (9)
3. Essential fatty acids (linoleic and alpha-linolenic)
4. Vitamins
5. Minerals
6. Water
Nonessential Nutrients (define and list) - Correct Answer--
Nutrients present in food and used by the body but they do
not have to be part of our diets.
Ex: Cholesterol and creatine
Factors That Impact Nutrient Needs - Correct Answer--age,
body size, gender, genetic trais, growth, illness, lifestyle
habits, medications, pregnancy and lactation
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) - Correct Answer--general
term; nutrient intake standards for healthy people
Recommended Daily Allowances (RDAs) - Correct Answer--
levels of essential nutrients; adequate for most (98%) of
healthy people; decrease risk of certain chronic diseases
, Adequate Intakes (AIs) - Correct Answer--"tentative" RDAs;
used when scientific information is less conclusive (~50%)
Estimated Average Requirements (EARs) - Correct Answer--
estimated values to meet requirements of half of the healthy
individuals in a group; used to assess adequacy of intakes of
population groups
Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (ULs) - Correct Answer--upper
limits of nutrients compatible with health; these are the
limits that should not be exceeded
Daily Values - Correct Answer--scientifically agreed upon
standards for daily intakes of nutrients, developed for use on
nutrition label
Monosaccharides - Correct Answer--glucose, fructose,
galactose
simple carb - sugar
Disaccharides - Correct Answer--sucrose, lactose, maltose
