Vitamins, protein, carbs, fat, minerals, water b. Which nutrients provide kcals/energy? 1. Carbs, protein, fat C. Federal Programs for Nutrition (HHD) 1. WIC, Head Start (Breakfast Program), School Lunch program, SNAP, Congregate Meals program, Meals on Wheels D. Current Issues 1. Iatrogenic malnutrition a. Definition: A nutritional disease resulting from medical treatment to a patient with drugs, surgery, or therapeutic diet b. Examples: Anti-convulsant increase the need for folic acid 2. Nutrition and behavior: there is no correlation between sugar and hyperactivity (instead- avoid artificial colors, artificial flavors and processed foods) 3. Supplementations: above 150% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is considered a MEGADOSE should be avoided (megadose may cause harm/toxicity) G.I Tract \- Mouth Esophagus Stomach Small Intestine Anabolism Catabolism Carbs in its building blocks are monosaccharide Mono Dye Poly Fatty Cell, Tissue, Organ, System Digestion is the process of changing food into the simplest form 1. Digestive tract is a coiled tube \~30 feet that passes through the center of the body 2. Until the food passes through the digestive walls, it's still considered to be 'outside' the body 3. Digestion is accomplished by a combination of mechanical and chemical changes 4. Peristalsis" churning action that propels food down the tract (Chewing and peristalsis are mechanical changes) Peristalsis begins in the esophagus *Definition of Peristalsis-* *[the involuntary constriction and relaxation of the muscles of the intestine or another canal, creating wave-like movements that push the contents of the canal forward.]* 5. Chemically ingested food is changed by enzymes, which are provided in the mouth, stomach, small intestine, etc a. Enzyme: Protein that is a catalyst or trigger for chemical reactions *Definition of ase(Suffix):* *[Forming names of enzymes]* A. Digestion End products of digestion are: monosaccharides (CHO, amino acids (proteins), fatty acids, glycerol, mono and diglycerol (fat), minerals, vitamins, and water 1. Ingestion Regulated by appetite which responds to both external and internal stimuli a. Internal: drop in glucose level stimulates hunger or contractions of the stomach in the absence of food b. External: social, time, place, stress, rewards 2. Mouth a. Saliva- 2 major roles 1. Mixes with food, lubricates dry food, dilutes thicker foods 2. Provides the starch splitting enzyme(salivary amylase) which converts to complex CHO so simple CHO Lingual Lipase 1\. At the base of the tongue begins the digestion of lipids Swallowing: 1\. Bolus: food gets rolled into a small ball by the tongue and is placed at the back of the mouth (Top of esophagus) 2\. Epiglottis: Small flap that slips over the tipoff the trachea aka windpipe to prevent food from entering the respiratory tract and lungs 3\. Peristalsis is involuntary Stomach: - Good Taches the stomach mixed with Saliva and alkaline mixture to make chyme which does into the stomach - Hormone and gastric is released to stimulate the release of HCI acid from the lining do the stomach (Hadith mucosa) which changes pH to acidic - Bile splits the fat globules so the lipase can act more effectively on it (emulsifies the fat) - Bile splits the fat globules so the lipase can act more effectively on it (emulsifies the fat) Large intestine -- 10ft - Most of the food has been absorbed; the remaining mass is mostly fiber and water - Most of the water is reabsorbed and the remaining more solid mass is feces - A cell barrier called the intestinal wall and the nutrients we consume are to nourish our cells aka digestion - Protein is broken down in its building blocks, A.A(Amino Acids) for out cells to be fed 2\. Metabolism of Glucose (From Carbohydrates foods) 3\. Metabolism of Fatty Acids Glycerol, Mono, and Diglycerol (From Fatty Foods) 4\. Metabolism of Amino Acids (From Proteins) (2, 3, 4 are All foods convert to glucose for energy) Steatorrhea (Fatty stools) occurs when F. A are ***NOT*** absorb) Most American consume adequate protein 5\. Krebs Cycle (Citric acid cycle) a\. metabolic changes that occur when energy is released from the calories from glucose, fatty acids etc., and a.a within the mitochondrion of the cell D. Overnutrition (Positive energy balance) 1\. Excess glucose is converted into glycogen and stored into the liver and muscle; then the excess is stored as fat 2\. Excess protein is stored as fat 3\. excess fat is stored as fat E. Undernutrition (Negative energy balance) 1\. Glucose is used first as energy 2\. Glycogen is used second 3\. Fat is used third 4\. Protein is used last (In a state of starvation) F. Vitamins, Minerals, and Water 1\. Food can be converted to energy only when vitamins, minerals, and water are available as catalysts or enzymes. They don't provide energy alone. I. Carbohydrates a. Definition: An essential nutrient provided almost entirely by plant foods and is the major source of energy and fiber b. Two main Groups 1. Simple CHO a. Primarily sugars and naturally found in fruits and milk b. Green bananas have increased starch but convert to sugar as they age. c. Corn has increased sugar but converts to starch as it ages 2. Complex Carbs d. Primarily starch and cellulose (Fiber) and foundin breads, vegetables, and cereals c. Historical Perspective 3. Consumption of starch/fiber has decreased, and sugar increased since 1900 d. Chemical Composition 4. Composed of 3 elements: C-H-O e. Classification of Three Sub-Groups 5. Monosaccharides are the goal of digesting carbs e. Simplest form of CHO f. 3 Monosaccharides important in nutrition 1. Glucose 2. Fructose 3. Galactose g. All contain 6 atoms C (Carbon), 12 atoms H (Hydrogen), and 6 atoms O (Oxygen) but differ in arrangement of atoms 3. Glucose b. Dextrose or blood sugar, found in fruits, vegetables, and honey contributes simple sugars c. Main source of energy for the CNS (brain and spinal cord) d. Body tries to keep at least 90 mg glucose/deciliter of blood (fasting blood sugars) 3. If the glucose in the blood \> 200 mg/dl = HYPERGLYCEMIA This occurs when the hormone, insulin, is not produced gast enough by the pancreas to help the cells remove glucose from the blood. The kidneys can't keep up and glucose spills into the urine. The loss of glucose produces more urine; more urination = more thirst. Symptoms: higher blood glucose levels, glucose in the urine, increased thirst and increased urination 6. If the glucose in the blood\< 60 mg/dl = HYPOGLYCEMIA (2 types) h. Reactive hypoglycemia: Reactive hypoglycemia: occurs when people wait too long between meals or when diet is too high in simple sugars i. Spontaneous hypoglycemia: (rare) Spontaneous hypoglycemia: occurs when pancreas puts out too much insulin and creates chronic low blood sugar Symptoms: hunger, weakness, sweating, and lightheadedness 7. Fructose j. Known as fruit and naturally found in corn syrup and sugar k. Used commercially as high fructose corn syrup l. Doesn't promote tooth decay (less cariogenic) 8. Galactose m. Obtained primarily from animal sources (from digesting lactose) 2. Disaccharides a. 3 found in food: 1. Sucrose = glucose and fructose 2. Lactose = glucose and galactose 3. Maltose = glucose and glucose b. Sucrose (most common and poses greatest risk of tooth decay) 4. 100% found in table sugar and granulated sugar and is an example of simple carbs 5. 97% found in brown sugar (molasses makes up the rest) c. Lactose 6. Found in milk sugar 7. Lactose enhances Ca++ absorption (both are within milk) 8. Lactose intolerance a. Cause: insufficient lactase b. Symptoms: Bloating, gassiness, and Diarrhea after eating dairy **(EXCEPT CHEESE & YOGURT, because they underwent a fermentation that split the enzyme apart)** c. Maltose 1.
