Study Notes
Nutritional Principles and Guidelines
- Hippocrates, considered the father of medicine, famously stated, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food."
- Bioavailability denotes how well nutrients from food are absorbed and utilized by the body.
Medical Conditions and Dietary Implications
- Bernetta's autoimmune disease affects her salivary glands, resulting in difficulty swallowing.
- Regular large dinners, like those of Jared, can lead to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
- Antonio’s GERD management includes avoiding overeating during meals to reduce heartburn occurrences.
Physiological Concepts
- Catabolic reactions in the body include the digestion of food and weight loss during starvation, all of which are part of normal metabolic processes.
- Villi are tiny, finger-like structures in the small intestine that facilitate nutrient absorption.
Digestive System and Hormones
- The pancreas is the organ responsible for producing essential digestive enzymes.
- Hormones act as signaling molecules that communicate between organs and target cells.
Nutritional Treatment and Standards
- Treatment for conditions like irritable bowel syndrome may involve dietary adjustments and possibly taking antidepressants.
- Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) provide guidance for developing nutritionally complete diets, especially for adults who need liquid-only diets.
- Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) identifies the nutrient amounts sufficient for 50% of healthy individuals.
Diet and Food Classification
- Foods rich in healthy fats recommended include sunflower seeds.
- Food guides classify eggs within the protein foods group, aiding in dietary planning.
- Selections of foods high in empty calories, such as sugary drinks, contribute less to nutritional value.
Body Weight and Health Risks
- Converting body weight from kilograms to pounds involves multiplying by 2.2, for example, 66 kg is approximately 145 pounds.
- Risk factors for heart disease encompass unhealthy habits like smoking, physical inactivity, and excessive alcohol consumption.
Carbohydrate and Energy Values
- Carbohydrates provide the most energy per serving in a food mix that includes protein and fat.
- Energy content in food is typically measured in kilocalories, providing an understanding of energy contribution through nutrition.
Influences on Dietary Choices
- Diet is shaped by personal habits, social influences (like friends and parents), and food advertising.
- A person's dietary choices often reflect their lifestyle and nutritional status.
