Serving sizes are determined by FDA and not The information in the main or top section of the the individual food processor sample nutrition label can vary with each food and Descriptive terms are standardized.

(Roth & Wehrle) 2nd Year | 1st Semester nutrient information 2. CALORIES The bottom section contains a footnote that explains the % Daily Value and gives the number of calories used for general nutrition advice. Calories provide a measure of how much energy you get from a serving of this food. In the example, there are 280 calories in one serving of lasagna. To achieve or maintain a healthy body weight, balance the number of calories you eat and drink with the number of calories your body uses. 2,000 calories a day is used as a general guide for nutrition advice. Your calorie needs may be higher or lower and vary depending on your age, sex, height, weight, and physical activity level. Remember: The number of servings you consume determines the number of calories you actually eat. Eating too many calories per day is linked to overweight and obesity. 1. SERVING INFORMATION 3. NUTRIENTS When looking at the Nutrition Facts label - First take a look at the number of servings in the package (servings per container) and the serving size. Serving sizes are standardized to make it easier to compare similar foods; they are provided in familiar units, such as cups or pieces, followed by the metric amount, e.g., the number of grams (g). The serving size reflects the amount that people typically eat or drink. It is not a recommendation of how much you should Nutrients to get less of: Saturated Fat, Sodium, and eat or drink. Added Sugars. - Pay attention to the serving size, especially how Saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars are nutrients many servings there are in the food package. For listed on the label that may be associated with example, you might ask yourself if you are consuming adverse health effects – and Americans generally ½ serving, 1 serving, or more. consume too much of them, according to the recommended limits for these nutrients.

After digestion, carbohydrates are absorbed in the small intestine with the help of minute finger-shaped projections known as Villi. STAGES OF FOOD DIGESTION There are four primary stages of food digestion in the human body that include: After intake of food through the mouth, it makes its way through the stomach into the small intestine, where it is digested. The nutrients from the digested food get absorbed into the bloodstream through small pores in the small intestine. The remaining undigested food is sent to the large intestine, where any unprocessed water nutrients are reabsorbed into the body. The remaining waste food product is passed out of the body in the form of stools. Absorption is the process of absorbing or DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION OF PROTEINS assimilating substances into the cells or across the tissues and organs through the The digestion of proteins takes place in the process of diffusion or osmosis. stomach with the help of protease and pepsin enzymes, which break down the proteins into amino acids NUTRITION AND DIET THERAPY Nutrition and Diet Therapy 12th Ed.

They are packaged inside a DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION OF LIPIDS protein coat The packaged lipid-protein complexes, or The first step in lipid digestion is lipoproteins, are called chylomicrons emulsification, by which large lipid droplets are transformed into much smaller droplets Chylomicrons leave the epithelial cells and enter the lacteals, lymphatic capillaries within Emulsification is accomplished by bile salts the intestinal villi secreted by the liver Chylomicrons are transported to the liver, The enzymes that digest lipids are soluble in where the lipids are stored, converted into the water and can digest the lipids only by acting other molecules, or used as energy. They are at the surface of the droplets also transported to adipose tissue, where they are stored until an energy source is needed elsewhere in the body Other lipoproteins are called low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) and high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), which transport cholesterol and fats in the blood WATER AND MINERALS Approximately 9 L of water enter the digestive tract each day. We ingest about 2 L in food and drink, and the remaining 7 L are form digestive secretions. Approximately 92% of that water is absorbed in the small intestine, about 7% is absorbed in the large intestine, and about 1% leaves the body in the feces.
