Minerals and Fats

1. Minerals and Fats

2. Minerals
• are organic substance that the body needs for forming bones, teeth,
blood cells, for assisting chemical reaction of cells and for regulating
body fluids. Similar to vitamins, they do not provide energy.
• Minerals are inorganic nutrients. That is, they are materials found in
foods that are essential for growth and health and do not contain the
element carbon.

3. WHY MINERALS ARE IMPORTANT?
• Minerals are important for your body to stay healthy.
• Energy production.
• Growth
• healing
• proper utilization of vitamins and other nutrients

4. FOOD SOURCES
• meat.
• cereals.
• fish.
• milk and dairy foods.
• fruit and vegetables.
• nuts.

5. Minerals can be categorized into
2 groups:
• Major minerals
• Trace minerals

6. Major minerals
• Also known as Macro-minerals
• They are vital to health
• Required in the diet by more than 100mg per day
Calcium, phosphorous,
sodium, potassium,
magnesium

7. Trace Minerals
• Also known as micro-minerals
• They are vital to healthy
• Required less than 20mg per day
Iron, Iodine, Flourine, Zinc,
Copper, chromium,
Maganese, etc.

8. Fats
• are secondary source of fuel and are concentrated stored energy.
The body needs fat growth and repair of tissues. In addition the stored
fat serves as insulator to help maintain regular body temperature.
• Fat helps give your body energy, protects your organs, supports cell
growth, keeps cholesterol and blood pressure under control, and
helps your body absorb vital nutrients.

9. WHY FATS ARE IMPORTANT?
• A small amount of fat is an essential part of a healthy, balanced diet.
Fat is a source of essential fatty acids, which the body cannot make
itself.
• Fat helps the body absorb vitamin A, vitamin D and vitamin E.
• These vitamins are fat-soluble, which means they can only be
absorbed with the help of fats.
• Fats are essential for brain development in children

10. Types of fats
• saturated fats
• unsaturated fats.

11. Sources
• Butter, visible fats from meats, mayonnaise, nuts
Energy in > Energy used (weight gain )
Energy in = Energy Used (weight
maintenance)
Energy in < Energy Used (weight loss)

13. Calories in Filipino Foods
• 1. Calorie is the amount of energy on food/drink we ingest, and also
the energy consumed or lost with any bodily activity.
The more we eat, the more calories we absorbed into our body, and
the more
we exercise, the more we burn or lose calories.
The balance in the calorie intake and output determines whether we
maintain our current weight, lose weight or gain pounds.

14. • 2. To find out how much one’s Total Calorie Requirement (TCR) is, one
must compute his/her ideal body weight (IBW).
The Tannhauser Formula will give us the answer.
IBW (kg) = (Height in cm minus 100)less 10%
• In general, the average calorie requirement per day ranges between
1500 to 2000
• Eating 500 calories more a day ( in excess of the total calorie
requirement)
will make a person gain one pound a week, and conversely, eating 500
calories less than the TCR per day will reduce one pound from the person’s
body weight in a week.

15. The average calories burned in 30-minute of
any of these activities are as follows:
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY CALORIES BURNED
Sleeping 35
Typing on computer 50
Ironing 63
Cooking 86
Volleyball 96
Ballroom dancing 98
Walking slowly 106
Light house work 115
Mopping Floor 119
Shopping 112

16. THREE MAIN FUNCTIONS
• Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
- This is the amount of calories you burn just by being alive, even
when you are lying down, doing nothing. BMR accounts for
approximately 60% of the calories burned for an average person.
• Burning calories for Activity
- This is the energy used during movement. This account for
approximately 30% of the calories burned by an average person.
• Dietary Thermogenesis
- The “thermo genic effect’ described as meal-induced heat
production- the calories burned in the process of eating, digesting,
absorbing and using food.
