What are the essential nutrients for health?
Hunger, Nutrients, Appetite, Nutrition, and Digestive Process
Hunger
When our brains initiate a physiological response that prompts us to seek food for energy.
Nutrients
the constituents of food that sustain humans physiologically: proteins, carbohydrates, fats,
vitamins, minerals, and water
Appetite
The learned desire to eat; normally accompanies hunger but is more psychological than
physiological
Nutrition
the science that investigates the relationship between physiological function and the essential
elements of foods eaten
Digestive Process
The process by which the body breaks down foods into smaller componets and either absorbs
or excretes them.
Recommened Dietary Allowance (RDA)
Daily nutrient intake levels that meet the nutritional needs of 97 to 98 percent of healthy
individuals.
Adequate Intake (AI)
The daily intake levels that are presumed to be adequate for most healthy people
Used when there is not enough information/research to support establishing RDA's
Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL)
the highest amounts of a nutrient that an individual can consume daily without risking adverse
health effects
, Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR)
Ranges of protein, carb, and fat intake that provides adequate nutrition and are associated with
a reduces risk for chronic disease.
Calorie (aka Kilocalorie)
indicates the amount of energy obtained from a particular food
Hyponatremia
Too much water intake.
A serious health risk characterized by low sodium levels.
Proteins
Used to repair bone, muscle, skin, and blood cells.
Key elements of antibodies.
Most abundant substance in the body.
Amino Acid
building blocks of protein
How many amino acids are essential?
9 out of 20
These 9 can be obtained by food.
The body
Where the other 11 amino acids are produced.
Complete (high-quality) protein
protein that supplies all 9 essential amino acids.
Incomplete Proteins
Proteins from plant sources lack one or more amino acids.
What is the recommended intake of protein per kilogram of body weight?
0.8 grams
Carbohydrates
supply energy needed to sustain normal daily activity.
They are metabolized faster and are more efficient then protein.
