DRIs Dietary Reference Intakes
1,500 mg/day those over 51, blacks, and people with hypertension, diabetes, or chronic
kidney disease should limit their salt intake to
2,300 mg/day those aged 14-50 should limit their salt intake to
simple carbohydrates (sugars) the single sugars (monosaccharides) and the pairs of sugars
(disaccharides) linked together.
salivary amylase Enzyme in saliva that breaks down starch
Pepsin An enzyme present in gastric juice that begins the hydrolysis of proteins
Lipase pancreatic enzyme necessary to digest fats
bile salts cholesterol derivatives that function in fat emulsification and absorption
complete proteins proteins that contain all nine of the essential amino acids; meat, fish,
poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, soy
incomplete protein a protein that is missing one or more of the essential amino acids;
vegetable proteins (grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and vegetables)
positive nitrogen balance when protein synthesis is higher than protein breakdown; ex. after
tissue injury, pregnancy, childhood, illness
, negative nitrogen balance excessive protein breakdown; ex. physical/emotional stress,
starvation
low-density lipoprotein (LDL) blood fat that transports cholesterol to organs and tissues;
excess amounts result in the accumulation of fatty deposits on artery walls
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) blood fat that helps transport cholesterol out of the arteries,
thereby protecting against heart disease
Fat soluble vitamins Vitamins A, D, E, K
basal metabolic rate (BMR) the rate at which the body burns energy when the organism is
resting
Cursory screening consists of evaluation of height, weight, and BMI coupled with a brief
dietary history
dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) A highly accurate method of measuring body
composition and bone mass and density using multiple low-energy X rays.
Hydrodensitometry measures body density by weighing the person first on land and then
again while submerged in water
hypoglecemia low blood glucose levels; less than 50 mg/dL
hyperglycemia high blood sugar; higher than 127 mg/dL
polyphagia excessive hunger
