The document provides an overview of nutrition and the process of digestion. It discusses the six major nutrients - carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. Carbohydrates are the body's primary source of energy and come in simple, complex, and fiber forms. Proteins are used to build and repair cells and tissues. Fats serve various purposes like cushioning organs and regulating temperature. Vitamins and minerals regulate processes and must be obtained through food. Good nutrition requires eating a variety of healthy foods to meet nutrient needs.

Appetite- A Psychological desire for
food.
Wanting dessert even when your full
Wanting fresh bread only because you
smelled it.
Hunger- Natural physical need for food
Stomach hurts, head may hurt, may feel light

6. EnvironmentEnvironment
Guess the influence…
Me and 4 other teachers went out to eat Indian food because it
is what Ms. Tressler wanted.
My grandma grew up in Mexico so my Mom likes to make HOT
chili enchiladas.
I do not have time to make a lunch in the mornings so I keep a
loaf of bread, peanut butter, and honey in my office.
While I was in college I never ate out. Now I have a career and
I eat out way too much!
Occasionally I see a commercial with something I really want
on it so the next time I’m out I’ll go out to eat there.

Carbohydrate is a sugar
16. Simple vs Complex Sugars
Simple
– Glucose: the most common kind of simple sugar. Glucose
is the basic source of energy for all living things. Body
converts most sugars into glucose.
– Sucrose: commonly known as table sugar, beet sugar, or
cane sugar.
– Fructose: known as fruit sugar.
Complex
– Maltose: known as malt sugar. Found in grains.
– Lactose: commonly known as milk sugar. It is the principal
carbohydrate found in milk.

Complex carbohydrates

What does Fiber do for us?
• Moves waste through your digestive system
• Helps you feel full
• Prevents certain diseases
• May reduce risk of cancer

29. Understanding Cholesterol
A cholesterol molecule is a
lipid, which is water-insoluble.
Examples are…waxes, oils and
fats
Because it can't dissolve in
water or watery substances like
blood, cholesterol can't move
around in the bloodstream on its own. It has to catch a
ride.
In order to travel around the body, cholesterol combines
with protein, forming a lipoprotein (lipid + protein).
The protein actually coats the cholesterol.
31. Understanding Cholesterol
However, not all lipoproteins are created equal.
When the lipoprotein has more protein than cholesterol, it resembles a
Ferrari, gunning through your body without stopping until the cholesterol
arrives at your liver, where it's converted into bile acids. These Ferraris
are high-density lipoproteins (HDLs), which most of us just call "good"
cholesterol.
When the lipoprotein has more cholesterol than protein, however, this
makes for a rickety ride. This low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad"
cholesterol, sputters down the road, careening off the arteries, running -
into things and leaving bits all over the place.
While the HDL Ferrari sees a pileup and nimbly speeds around it, the
LDL jalopy crashes right into it, adding to the jumble of tangled fenders
and tailpipes (or platelets and plaque).

A… Helps with night vision
D… Helps use Calcium
E… Helps repair tissue
K… Helps clot blood
B1… Helps body use carbs for energy
C… Helps protect against infection
40. Minerals
Elements found in food that are used by the
body.
Your body cannot produce minerals so they
must be obtained from food.
If you don’t get enough vitamins or minerals
you may develop a deficiency. (A sickness
caused by not having enough of a vitamin
or mineral.)

Calcium… Healthy bones and teeth
Phosphorus… Produce energy
Magnesium… Muscle and Nerve functions
Iron… Helps red blood cells carry oxygen
43. Water
Water is essential for all body functions
– Digestion
– Transporting nutrients
– Storing and releasing heat
– Cooling the body through sweating
– Lubricating Joints
