Genetics Nutrition Influence - Answer -Less Nutrition Related
1. Down syndrome, hemophilia, sickle-cell anemia
2. Adult bone loss (osteoperosis), cancer, infectious diseases
3. Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease
4. Iron-deficiency anemia, vitamin deficiencies, mineral deficiencies, toxicities, poor

Malnutrition - Answer -A well-chosen diet supplies energy and enough of each nutrient
to prevent malnutrition. Malnutrition includes deficiencies, imbalances, and excesses of
nutrients, alone or in combination, any of which can take a toll on health over time.
Chronic diseases - Answer -Many older people suffer from debilitating conditions that
could have been largely prevented had they known and applied the nutrition principles
known today. The chronic diseases - heart disease, diabetes, some kinds of cancer,
dental disease, and adult bone loss - all have a connection to poor diet. These diseases
cannot be prevented by a good diet alone; they are to some extent determined by a
person's genetic constitution, activities, and lifestyle. Within the range set by your
genetic inheritance, however, the likelihood of developing these diseases is strongly
influenced by your daily choices.
6 Major Nutrients - Answer -1. Carbohydrate (Starch, sugar, fiber)
2. Protein (built from amino acid)
3. Fat (broad term lipid) (Fatty acids-fats or oils-, Cholesterol, Phospholipid)
4. Vitamins
5. Minerals
, 6. Water
Another list of major nutriets - Answer -1. Carbs (Starch, Fiber, Sugar) - 4 kcal/g.
(Glucose is essential). Energy
2. Protein (Amino Acids) - 4 kcal/g. 9 of 20 are essential. Build.
3. Fat (Lipid) - 9 kcal/g. Linoleic acid and linolenic acid are essential. Energy. Fatty
acids (fats/oils), cholesterol, phospholipid
4. Vitamins - 13. All are essential. Regulatory and helper nutrient
5. Minerals - Quite a few are essential. Regulatory and helper nutrient
Water - Definitely essential. Regulatory and helper nutrient
Alcohol - not a nutrient! 7 kcal/g but still provides energy
