nutrients - ANS-life sustaining chemicals in food that are needed for proper growth,
development and function of the body
nutrition - ANS-study of nutrients and how the body uses nutrients
diet - ANS-usual pattern of food choices
Top five leading causes of death - ANS--heart disease
-cancer
-chronic lower respiratory infections
-stroke
-accidents
risk factors - ANS-characteristics which increase disease risk
unmodifiable risk factors - ANS-family history, age, ethnicity
modifiable risk factors - ANS-lifestyle (diet, physical activity, drug use)
What are the 6 classes of nutrients - ANS--carbohydrates
-fats (lipids)
-proteins
-vitamins
-minerals
-water
organic nutrients - ANS-include carbon in the chemical structure
carbohydrates - ANS-source of energy (most forms)
lipids - ANS--source of energy
-cellular development
-physical growth and development
-regulation of body processes
-absorption of fat-soluble vitamins
proteins - ANS--production of structural and functional components
-cellular development, growth, and maintenance
-regulation of body processes
, -immune function
-fluid balance
-source of energy
vitamins - ANS--regulation of body process
-maintenance of immune function
-production and maintenance of tissues
-protection against agents that can damage cellular components
minerals - ANS--regulation of body processes
-including fluid balance; formation of certain chemical messengers
-structural and functional components of various substances and tissues
-necessary for physical growth, maintenance, and development
