• Explain how energy balance is related to body weight.
Give this one a try later!
- energy balance is a constant body weight
- when energy consumption equals energy expenditure, weight remains
constant
- if less energy is consumed than expended, we will lose weight
- if more energy is consumed than expended, we will gain weight
• How are blood levels of LDLs and HDLs related to the risk of cardiovascular
disease?
Give this one a try later!
- high levels of LDL cholesterol lead to atherosclerosis increasing the risk
of heart attack and ischemic stroke.
, - HDL cholesterol reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease as it carries
cholesterol away from the blood stream.
o Under what dietary conditions are our glycogen stores depleted/used?
Give this one a try later!
- our glycogen stores are used when we exercise a lot
* after all carbs is used up, fat is then used for energy but it uses up more
oygen
What is an essential nutrient?
Give this one a try later!
nutrient required for normal body functioning that cannot be made by the
body.
- ex. vitamins, minerals.
• Describe, in general, how water-soluble vitamins are absorbed, transported, stored,
and excreted.
Give this one a try later!
- they depend on energy requiring transport systems or must be bound to
specific molecules in the GI tract to be absorbed
- most are bound to blood proteins for transport
- easily excreted from the body in urine
, Which types of DRI standards can be used as a goal for individual intake?
Give this one a try later!
RDA's = are calculated to meet the needs of nearly all healthy individuals in
each gender and life-stage group; based on EAR values
Which DRI standard can help you determine if a supplement contains a toxic level of
a nutrient?
Give this one a try later!
UL's represent the maximum level of daily intake of a nutrient that is unlikely
to pose a risk; used as a guide for limiting intake when people are planning
diets and evaluating the possibility of over-consumption
- UL = Tolerable Upper Intake Levels
• How are fat-soluble nutrients absorbed and transported throughout the body?
Give this one a try later!
- the fat-soluble vitamins enter the lymph vessels before making their way
into the bloodstream.
- Many fat-soluble vitamins travel through the body only under escort by
proteins that act as carriers.
• What is the function of bile in fat digestion and absorption?
