Study Notes
Importance of Balanced Diet
- A balanced diet is crucial for good health due to the complexity of diet and its impact on energy consumption and expenditure.
Challenges in Assessing Diet
- The primary reason for the challenge in assessing diet is the complexity of measuring diet and its components.
Challenges in Dietary Research
- Dietary research is challenging due to the complexities of measuring diet and its components.
Components of Diet
- Energy intake and expenditure are crucial components of diet that make it complex to measure exposure.
- The amount of energy consumed minus the amount of energy expended is referred to as energy balance.
Nutrition Terminology
- Nutrients that support growth, development, or homeostasis are referred to as essential nutrients.
- Essential nutrients that cannot be synthesized by the body and must be consumed in the diet are referred to as essential nutrients.
- The term for substances that cannot be obtained from any other source than the diet, such as vitamin C, is referred to as essential nutrients.
- Nutrients that can be synthesized by the body are referred to as non-essential nutrients.
Energy Requirements
- The equation that summarizes the consumption and expenditure of energy alongside any change in the body’s energy stores is Energy Intake = Energy Expenditure ± Change in Energy Stores.
- Factors that affect basal metabolic rate, such as age, sex, and body size, impact energy requirements.
Nutritionally-Complete Diet
- A nutritionally-complete diet contains all essential nutrients in adequate amounts to maintain normal growth, development, and homeostasis without inducing deficiency or toxicity.
Nutrient Classification
- Nutrients that support growth, development, or homeostasis without inducing either deficiency or toxicity are referred to as essential nutrients.
- Substances that impair essential metabolic processes due to under-consumption, malabsorption, or excessive loss are referred to as deficiency diseases.
- Nutrients that cannot be obtained from any other source than the diet are referred to as essential nutrients.
