Study Notes
Monounsaturated Fatty Acids
- Foods like olive oil, avocados, and peanuts are good sources of monounsaturated fatty acids.
Anorexia Nervosa
- Untreated anorexia nervosa can lead to:
- Lanugo (fine hair)
- Muscle wasting
- Bone loss
Hypertension and Processed Foods
- Individuals with high blood pressure (hypertension) should limit processed foods.
- These foods often have high sodium and low potassium content.
Glycogen Storage
- The body stores glycogen primarily in the liver and muscles.
Dietary Recommendations
- Important dietary recommendations should be integrated into daily habits.
Water-Soluble Vitamins (B and C)
- Water-soluble vitamins B and C have various functions and benefits.
Fiber in Foods
- Oats, rice, bran, psyllium seeds, soy, and certain fruits are rich in soluble fiber.
- This type of fiber is associated with cardiovascular health benefits.
Definition of Nutrition
- Nutrition is the scientific study of how living things obtain and use food to sustain life functions.
Trans Fat in Snacks
- Partially hydrogenated vegetable oil is a common source of trans fat.
- Even products labeled as "0g trans fat" might contain trans fat if partially hydrogenated oil is present.
High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol
- High levels of HDL cholesterol are linked to a lower risk of heart disease.
- HDL's role is to remove excess cholesterol from cells and return it to the liver.
Food Safety Guidelines
- The "Fight Bac" program emphasizes four food safety rules: clean, separate, cook, and chill.
Saturated Fat Intake Recommendations
- For a 2,700-calorie diet, saturated fat intake should be less than 270 calories.
