Study Notes
Nutrition Basics
- Organic nutrients include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
- Water-soluble vitamins include vitamin C and B vitamins.
- Calcium is a major mineral.
Hunger and Satiety Hormones
- Ghrelin increases hunger.
- Leptin decreases hunger and increases after eating.
- The physiological drive to eat is called hunger.
Digestion and Absorption
- Pepsin is an enzyme produced by gastric glands and activated by HCI in the stomach.
- Chief cells in the stomach secrete pepsinogen.
- The pyloric sphincter separates the stomach and small intestine.
- Secretin is released from the duodenum to stimulate the release of pancreatic juice and bile.
- Most digestion and absorption occur in the jejunum of the small intestine.
- Cholecystokinin (CCK) stimulates the release of pancreatic juice and causes the gallbladder to release bile.
Vitamins and Minerals
- Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin.
- Iron is a trace mineral.
- Inorganic nutrients include water, minerals, and oxygen.
Functions of Nutrients
- B vitamins are involved in energy metabolism in the body.
- Water helps regulate body temperature, transports nutrients, and removes waste products.
- DRI stands for Dietary Reference Intake, while RDA stands for Recommended Dietary Allowance.
- AI stands for Adequate Intake, and UL stands for Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
Gastrointestinal System
- The liver stores fat-soluble vitamins and B vitamins.
- The large intestine is responsible for the absorption of water and some vitamins and minerals.
- The autonomic nervous system coordinates with the nervous system during digestion.
- The parietal cells in the stomach are responsible for the release of hydrochloric acid.
Nutrition Labels and Principles
- A food label should include serving size, nutrients, and percent Daily Value.
- The maximum amount of fat per serving for a product to be considered 'low fat' is 3g.
- Key principles of a healthy diet include variety, balance, and moderation.
- The purpose of the Chronic Disease Risk Reduction intake (CDRR) methodology is to reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
- Cultural, social, and economic factors influence food choices.
Other Key Points
