Study Notes
Nutrition and Food Safety
- Food labels include a Nutrition Facts panel detailing nutrients per serving, including calories, fats, carbohydrates, and proteins.
- Products labeled "low in cholesterol" must also be low in saturated fat.
- Microorganisms that grow in oxygen-free environments are termed anaerobic.
- Flu-like symptoms after a catered event indicate a food-borne infection, often resulting from bacterial contamination.
- The primary food-related hazards affecting consumers arise from food-borne illnesses, leading to significant morbidity and mortality.
Nutrition Care Process
- Recommending additional glucose testing falls under the monitoring and evaluation step of the nutrition care process.
- Grapefruit juice, known for containing furanocoumarin, can interact adversely with certain medications.
- A nutrition diagnosis relies heavily on the comprehensive data obtained during a nutrition assessment.
- A substantial weight loss of over 10% in a patient necessitates further evaluation, particularly when comparing current weight to usual weight.
Coronary Heart Disease and Aging
- Fibrous plaques in coronary vessels constitute the underlying pathology of coronary heart disease.
- Aging is associated with an increased ratio of adipose tissue relative to muscle mass; skeletal muscle mass decreases by around 40% by age 70.
- Prescription and over-the-counter medications can affect nutritional status by altering appetite or nutrient absorption.
- Energy requirements diminish with age due to fewer functioning cells and reduced physical activity, declining about 1% to 2% each decade.
Older Americans Act
- Provides home-delivered meals for elderly individuals who are ill or disabled.
- Funds congregate and home-delivered meals along with education on food service for the elderly.
- Congregate meals are typically offered at senior centers and are primarily served at noon.
Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)
- The DASH diet encourages a plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy to reduce hypertension.
- High hypertension incidence is notably observed in African American populations, particularly among older women.
- A heart-healthy lifestyle developed in childhood is crucial for preventing coronary heart disease.
- The lentil curry aligns best with the DASH eating plan, which focuses on high-fiber sources, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy options.
