Study Notes
Classes of Nutrients
- Six classes of nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water.
- Carbohydrates can be classified into simple and complex forms, including sugars and starches.
AMDRs
- Acronym AMDR stands for Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges, which guide the percentage of calories from macronutrients.
Dietary Assessment Methods
- 24-hour dietary recall method involves individuals recounting all food and drink consumed in the past 24 hours.
- Food frequency questionnaires assess habitual intake over longer periods.
Gastrin and Digestive Function
- Main function of gastrin is to stimulate the secretion of gastric acid in the stomach, aiding in digestion.
Bile Production
- The liver is responsible for producing bile to facilitate fat digestion.
Nutrients of Concern
- Reducing sugar consumption is a nutrient of concern for Canadians, aimed at lowering health risks.
ABCD's Nutritional Assessment
- Purpose of the ABCD’s assessment is to evaluate nutritional status through Anthropometric, Biochemical, Clinical, and Dietary methods.
Large Intestine Role
- Primary function of the large intestine includes water reabsorption and formation of feces.
- The large intestine also plays a role in fermentation of undigested food.
Refining Carbohydrates
- Purpose of refining carbohydrates is to remove fiber, vitamins, and minerals, often resulting in higher glycemic index foods.
Class of Nutrients
- Class of nutrients that includes both free/added sugars and nonnutritive sweeteners is carbohydrates.
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)
- Purpose of DRIs is to provide nutrient intake goals to prevent deficiencies and support overall health.
Food Energy Calculations
- A small bag of chips containing 3g protein, 21g carbohydrate, and 14g fat yields approximately 188 kcal.
- A slice of bread with 1 tbsp of peanut butter comprises 16g carbohydrate, 7g protein, and 9g fat; approximately 38% of energy comes from fat.
Nutrition Recommendations
- Nutrition recommendations were developed to promote health and prevent chronic diseases.
Elderly Health Assessment
- Dietary Reference Intakes' RDA represents sufficient intakes to meet nutritional needs for 97% of healthy individuals.
Vitamin C Assessment
- Max’s Vitamin C average intake of 100 mg/day exceeds the EAR (75 mg) and meets the RDA (90 mg), indicating adequate intake.
GI Tract Steps
- GI tract and accessory organs coordinate in six steps: ingestion, propulsion, mechanical digestion, chemical digestion, absorption, and defecation.
Nutritional Classification
- Nutrients can be classified by structure, function, and source.
Dietary Assessment Reasons
- Individuals seek dietary assessment for health improvement, weight management, or to address nutrient deficiencies.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Body Mass Index is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters squared (kg/m²).
GI Tract Layers
- Layers of the GI tract include mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and serosa.
Oral Cavity Functions
- Functions of the oral cavity in digestion include mechanical breakdown (mastication), initial carbohydrate digestion, and mixing food with saliva.
Mastication and Peristalsis
- Mastication refers to the mechanical process of chewing food.
- Peristalsis is the wave-like muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract.
Stomach Functions and Regions
- Four functions of the stomach include food storage, mixing food with gastric secretions, digestion, and eventual release to the small intestine.
- Four regions of the stomach are the cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus.
Gastric Mixture
- Ingested foods combine with gastric juices to become chyme.
Enzyme Matching
- Different enzymes aid in digesting carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, helping break down food.
Canada Food Guide 2019
- Emphasizes increased consumption of plant-based foods and reduction of processed food intake for better health.
Health Promotion
- Health promotion enables individuals to enhance control and improve their overall health through informed choices.
