Study Notes
Nutrition Terms and Concepts
- Nutritional Status: Refers to the overall state or condition of an individual's nutrition.
- Hypertension: Commonly known as high blood pressure, which can affect heart health.
- Malnutrition: A state resulting from inadequate or unbalanced nutrition, often due to dietary factors or illnesses.
- Carbohydrates: Major source of energy for the body, often categorized as starches or sugars.
- Cholesterol: A fatty substance that is found in cell membranes and animal fats.
- Protein: Essential nutrient that aids in building and repairing tissues while providing energy.
Digestive Processes
- Digestion: The process of breaking down food into smaller parts, involving both physical and chemical changes.
- Absorption: The process where blood capillaries absorb the digested nutrients, integrating them into the circulatory system.
Eating Disorders and Diets
- Anorexia: Characterized by a loss of appetite, leading to weight loss and nutritional deficiency.
- Therapeutic Diet: Modifications made to a normal diet to cater to specific health needs or conditions.
Nutrition Benefits and Functions
- Four Immediate Effects of Good Nutrition: Results in a healthy appearance, well-developed body, positive attitude, and high energy levels.
- Osteoporosis: A health condition where bones become porous and break easily, often related to calcium deficiency.
- Cellulose: An indigestible form of carbohydrate providing bulk to support digestive health.
Fats and Their Types
- Functions of Fat: Cushion and protect organs, assist in absorbing fat-soluble vitamins, enhance flavor in food, and provide insulation.
- Saturated Fats: Typically solid at room temperature, found in foods like eggs, whole milk, and butter.
- Unsaturated Fats: Usually soft or oily at room temperature, healthier fat sources.
- Polyunsaturated Fats: Found in foods like vegetable oils, margarine, and fish; beneficial for heart health.
Proteins and Their Importance
- Functions of Proteins: Essential for tissue building and repair, antibody production, and supplying energy.
- Complete Proteins: Contain all nine essential amino acids necessary for health.
- Incomplete Proteins: Lack one or more of the essential amino acids but can be combined to form a complete profile.
Vitamins and Minerals
- Water-Soluble Vitamins: Easily destroyed by cooking and can dissolve in water (e.g., Vitamins B and C).
- Fat-Soluble Vitamins: More stable in cooking and dissolve in fat (e.g., Vitamins A, D, E, and K).
- Key Vitamins Functions:
- Vitamin C: Aids in wound healing.
- Vitamin K: Essential for normal blood clotting.
- Vitamin B12: Necessary for formation of red blood cells and protein metabolism.
- Vitamin D: Crucial for the maintenance of bone health.
- Key Minerals:
- Iron: Critical for hemoglobin production in red blood cells.
- Calcium: Important for blood clotting and bone health.
- Potassium: Supports regular heart rhythm.
Hydration and Water’s Role
- Functions of Water: Vital for food breakdown and nutrient absorption, composes major blood and cell plasma, assists in waste elimination.
- Recommended Water Intake: 6-8 glasses per day for average adults.
Body Weight and Health Indicators
- BMI: Measures weight in relation to height, indicating body fat.
- Weight Classifications:
- Underweight: 10-15% below desired weight.
- Overweight: 10-20% above average recommended weight.
- Obesity: 20% or more above recommended weight.
Diet Restrictions
- Soft Diet: Avoid foods that are tough or hard to digest, such as fried foods and coarse cereals.
- Diabetic Diet: Restricts high-sugar foods like syrups and jams.
- Various diets including low-calorie, low-cholesterol, fat-restricted, sodium-restricted, low-protein, bland, and low-residue have specific foods to avoid for compliance with health needs.
Clear Liquid Diet
- Allowed Foods: Include beverages like ginger ale, apple juice, and plain gelatin – essential for patients requiring easy digestion.
