Nutrition - ............ANSWER..........provides the body with the
nutrients it needs to perform its daily tasks
Undernutrition - ............ANSWER..........implies that the individual
is not getting enough nutrients. This can occur even if the person is
consuming more than enough calories
Malnutrition - ............ANSWER..........an imbalance of proper
nutrients
Anorexia nervosa - ............ANSWER..........literally means loss of
appetite, but this is a misnomer: A person with this is hungry, but
denies the hunger because of an irrational fear of becoming fat. Self-
starvation, food preoccupation and rituals, compulsive exercising,
and often an absence of menstrual cycles in women.
Untreated, can be fatal.
,
Bulimia - ............ANSWER..........characterized by recurring periods
of binge eating, during which large amounts of food are consumed in
a short period of time followed by purging (through self-induced
vomiting, abuse of laxatives and/or diuretics) or periods of fasting
Binge eating disorder (BED) - ............ANSWER..........episodes of
binge eating characterized by eating rapidly, eating large amounts of
food even when not feeling hungry, and feeling guilty or depressed
after overeating.
Obesity - ............ANSWER..........15 to 20 percent above normal
weight. Poor dietary patterns; include increased intake of sugars in
sweetened soft drinks, foods, and meals of high energy, low nutrient
density, and large portion sizes. At risk for serious health problems
such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and
some types of cancer.
Minerals - ............ANSWER..........inorganic material. Form body
parts (teeth and bones), maintain acid-base neutrality, regulate nerve
impulses, osmotic pressure, and electrolyte balance
Major minerals - ............ANSWER..........needed by the body:
• calcium—milk, cheese, sardines, salmon, green vegetables
• phosphorus—milk, cheese, lean meat
• potassium—oranges, bananas, dried fruits
• sulfur—eggs, poultry, fish
,
• sodium—table salt, beef, eggs, cheese
• chloride—table salt, meat
• magnesium—green vegetables, whole grains
Trace minerals - ............ANSWER..........required in lesser amounts,
and include iron, zinc, selenium, magnesium, copper, iodine,
fluorine, chromium, molybdenum, and manganese
HDL cholesterol (high density lipoproteins)
- ............ANSWER..........protect the body against heart disease.
Often called "good" cholesterol.
LDL cholesterol (low density lipoproteins)
- ............ANSWER..........most cholesterol in the blood is of this
type. Often referred to as the bad cholesterol. high levels in the
blood increases the risk of fatty deposits forming in the arteries,
which in turn increases the risk of a heart attack
Lipoproteins - ............ANSWER..........large molecules of fat and
protein in the bloodstream; how cholesterol is transported
Antioxidants - ............ANSWER..........slow the aging process.
Reduce cellular damage by binding with free radicals produced
during oxidation reactions
,
Oxidation reactions - ............ANSWER..........the energy-yielding
reactions in which either an oxygen atom adds an electron to or a
hydrogen atom removes an electron from a substrate (a group of
atoms or molecule)—the net result is a substrate that has had a
partial or complete loss of a negatively charge particle, an electron.
Two partially charged atoms or groups of atoms, one positively
charged and the other negatively charged, now exist
Free radical (Oxidant) - ............ANSWER..........any atom or group
of atoms that has an unpaired electron. Because electrons typically
function in pairs, these are very prone to binding to other substrates
in an effort to regain this paired status. When this happens in the
human body, there is potential for a great deal of damage.
Carbohydrates - ............ANSWER..........produce 4 calories of
energy per gram. Found in foods as monosaccharides, disaccharides,
and polysaccharides. Sources include fruits, vegetables, pasta, and
rice which consist of simple sugars and starches
Protein - ............ANSWER..........produce 4 calories of energy per
gram. Sources include meats and milk. Composed of 8
essential(provided by the diet) and 12 nonessential(synthesized by
the body) amino acids. Perform many functions including building
cells and tissues, forming blood and enzymes, and fighting infection.
