Refresher Course
 HEALTH AND GOOD LOOK:
• Good health and good looks are partners. You cannot find beauty in a box or a jar, good health
habits are the world’s best beauty treatment. They reward you with shiny hair, a radiantly clear
complexion, sound teeth, clear bright eyes, well=-formed fingernails, and a good figure.
• Eating proper foods and drinking plenty of water, practicing strict cleanliness, and exercising in fresh
open air are essential for good health.
• Without a healthy body, all efforts are wasted. The most flattering hair-do cannot hide dull hair.
Carefully selected and expertly allied make-up cannot conceal a poor complexion. Even carefully
selected clothes can only minimize certain figure faults, but cannot eliminate them.
• The person who is brimming with health is sure to be full of enthusiasm and fun. A healthy person is
one who is always ready to join in activities, or take on an extra job, or try something new.
• Personality and disposition are bonuses of good health. If you feel well, you look better.
• Attitudes cannot help but affect a person’s appearance. The picture you present reflects the things
you do, say and feel. A pleasant disposition and happy thoughts can do wonders for your
appearance.
• Worry can affect the way your food is digested and literally makes you feel uncomfortable.
Emotions have quite effect on your bodies. Good mental health is as important to your appearance
as good physical health.

PART I – CONTENT UPDATE

• A good figure is an important part of good looks. Nature gave you your figure, so stop wishing you
were smaller or taller. You cannot change your bone structure, but you can have a better figure if
you are willing to work at it. The way you carry yourself can make you look better. Improving your
muscle tone and correcting your weight may result to improved looks.
• Don’t waste time wishing: get to work on factors you can control-like diet, posture, and exercise.
o Watch your diet carefully. Eat the basic foods every day.
o Don’t skip meals, especially fruits, vegetables, lean meat and milk; less sweets, breads,
potatoes and cereals
o Control what you eat between meals.
o Candy, ice cream, potato chips, and sugared carbonated drinks not only add pounds, but
they are hard on the complexion.
o If you cannot stand the hunger pangs, have a bit of fruit or a glass of milk.
o If yours is a serious overweight problem, consult your doctor. He is the right person to advice
you on good diet.
o Avoid fat diets that peel the pounds off in a hurry. When you give up the diet and return to
normal eating habits, the weight will probably return too.
o Glandular disturbance or certain diseases can cause underweight aside from the fact that
you usually have poor food eating and living habit.
o If you are nervous, unable to relax, worry a great deal, and don’t get enough sleep, you
probably cannot eat right. As a result you are under weight.
• No matter what you’re your figure is-too fat, too thin, or just right- regular, mild exercise is
essential. It aids in blood circulation and muscle toning. It uses calories for those interested in losing
weight and stimulates the appetite for those interested in gaining.
• Long brisk walking is a good exercise. The bend, stretch, reach and other movements in everyday
household activities are all good exercises if done properly and not supplement with snacks.
 GROOMING
• Posture is the way you stand , walk, sit or lie down
• Just by the way you carry yourself; you seem to reveal whether you’re happy, sad, tired, depressed,
angry, shy or lazy. Good posture can help you appear taller or slimmer; it can change your
measurements and give you a better figure. It makes your clothes fit better and seem to have more
style
• Good Posture helps develop poise and improves body functioning. It can make the difference
between graceful movements and awkwardness.
• All good grooming includes personal cleanliness. The skin is more than an outside wrapping of the
body. It is the outlet of perspiration and out waste.

• A daily bath will remove any body odor and staining agents that result from normal process of
perspiration.
• The skin also contains glands which excrete oil needed for keeping the skin soft. If these oily glands
become clogged, blackheads are formed which may turn into ugly sores or swellings. Clear skin is
your best insurance against unsightly pimples.
• A show bath is more stimulating and refreshing after strenuous exercise and cooling on a warm,
active day.
• Rub skin briskly with a soapy washcloth. Your back and shoulders are susceptible to blackheads and
pimples just like your face, but a daily scrubbing will help prevent them normally.
• To prevent chapping, be sure to dry yourself thoroughly with a heavy towel. A vigorous rubbing is
stimulating, if you want to relax, pat yourself dry. Be sure to have personal towel and washcloth
because skin irritation is transferable.
• Remember your housekeeping responsibilities. Always leave the bath tub clean. Never leave your
personal toilet articles scattered around the bathroom.
• As an extra prevention of body odors from perspiration, use underarm deodorant after bath. Keep
underarm free from hair. It is unattractive and holds perspiration.
• Good health is another important beauty aid in face care. This means a well-balanced diet. Good
food in the proper amounts can mean much for your complexion. Avoid the fatty food. Chocolate
which contains considerable fat is especially hard on the complexion. Drink plenty of water
everyday, eat the right foods, get sufficient sleep and exercise, and keep your emotion under
control.
• Each skin type requires special care. Oily skin requires soap and water treatment to achieve the
freshly scrubbed look. Leave the suds on the face for a few minutes, then rinse with cool water. Pat
the face dry with a soft towel, don’t rub it.
• Dry skin requires some lubrication to assist reluctant oil glands. Combination skin usually means the
nose and forehead are oily and the cheeks are dry. Use lubricating cream in oily areas.
• Acne usually is skin disorder caused by the glands producing too much oil. Blackheads, pimples, and
swelling are the result of the clogging.
• Good teeth are part of good grooming. A cavity that is neglected too long may cause the loss of
teeth. Take extra precautions that you breathe do not offend. Many things can cause poor
digestion, or constipation. Good health habits and proper care of your teeth will prevent unpleasant
odors.
• Regular care of the hands and nails is essential to good look. If you have trouble with split nails,
brittle nails, or soft nails, don’t forget to check your diet.
• Biting your nails is nervous habit. It is probably a sign that you are worried, afraid, or embarrassed.
Since you cannot have attractive nails when you bite them, try to eliminate the cause for you to
worry or embarrassment and then determine to let your nails grow.
• A woman’s hair is known as her crowning glory. Eat nutritious food in proper amount to have a
healthy hair. Take time to brush your hair everyday as its stimulates circulation, exercise the scalp,
distributes the oil, and loosen the dirt particles.

• Shampoo hair as often as necessary to keep it and the scalp clean. Oily hair needs to be washed
more often then dry hair.
• If dry hair and scalp are your problems, it may result to dull, lifeless hair, split ends, itchy scalp, and
maybe dandruff. Massage your scalp and brush your hair a little more than usual to stimulate and
distribute the oil.
 CARE FOR CLOTHING
• A well groomed person gives clothes the same attention as herself. Treat clothes with respect.
• Instead of tossing the dress, skirt or sweater on the bed, thinking that you will hang it later, take it
straight to the closet and put it on a clothes hanger. Make it a habit.
• Never hang a garment directly over a hook. This pulls it out of shape and even may even. Punch a
hole in the fabric even if you hand something else over the garment on the same hook.
• Use a skirts hanger for skirts or trousers.
• Soiled socks and lingerie may be kept in a small laundry bag just indie your cupboard door. Sports
and stains are much easier to remove when fresh. Spots made y substances containing sugar, egg,
milk or mud are easily removed by water.
• Repairing rips, tears and missing buttons promptly. Often a dress or shirts out in the armhole seam.
Such rips can be easily repaired by rest itching the seams on the machine or by hand stitching back
stitch.
• Ripped hem can be repair by using hemming stitches like blancket stitch, blind, slip stitch,
overcastting and hemingbone.
• Reinforced loose buttons before it be detached from the garment.
• Keep underwear in good condition. If a strap breaks, sew it in place firm, secure stitches. Never use
safety pins for repair job.
• Be sure that your slips are the right length for your skirts. If they are too long, shorten them nearly
and evenly y taking a tuck just above the bottom trimming.
• Girdles and bra can easily be deteriorated by heat. To insure long life for elasticized garments,
wash them in cool water and mild suds. Avoid hanging them to dry in direct sunlight and never dry
them in a hot dryer.
 CONCEPTS AND RELATED TERMS ON PAPER NUTRITION
Nutrition – the study of food and how the body makes use of it. It is only concerned with the quantity and
quality of food one eats but the process by which one receives and utilizes the food in the body for
growth and renewal as well as maintenance of different body functions.
Nutrients – chemical substances found in food that perform diverse roles in the body namely: to provide
heat and energy; to build and repair body tissues and to regulate body processes. Since the

nutrients are found mainly in foods, adequate intake of these nutrients is necessary to carry out
the physiological function of organism.
Nutrients can be classified according to:
1. Function. Nutrients that form tissues in the body, building these furnish heat energy such as fat
carbohydrates and protein.
2. Chemical Composition. Nutrients are classified either organic or inorganic
3. Essentiality. Refers to the significant contribution of the nutrients to the body’s physiological
functioning
4. Concentration. Some nutrients are needed large amount than others.
Good Nutrition – means that the body has a sufficient supply of the various nutrients and that they are
utilized to promote growth and to attain good health.
Food – anything which, when taken and digested, nourishes the body. It is a vital need without which man
cannot live. Foods are also culturally acceptable substances that supply heat and energy, build and
repair body tissues and regulate body processes.
Principles of Good Nutrition
The principles of good nutrition include the study of the human body, basic food nutrients,
functions their sources that will meet the health of different groups of people. It has been said that
good health or “wellness” is not a matter of chance. It is a product of good nutrition which is the
result of an adequate supply of essential nutrients. Insufficient nutrients will result to malnutrition
and even acquire illnesses. Hence, a balance diet gives your body the right kinds and amount of
foods you need for your growth and development.
Classification of Essential Nutrients
1. Carbohydrates
These are large groups of organic compounds mostly found in plants. The principal function
of carbohydrate is to serve as a major source of energy in the body. It must be supplied regularly
and at frequent intervals in order to meet the energy needs of the body.
FORMS OF CARBOHYDRATES COMPOSITIONS FOOD SOURCES

a. Monosaccharide or simple
sugar is the simplest form of
carbohydrate
b. Disaccharide or double
sugars are made up of 2
monosaccharide
c. Polysaccharide or
commonly known as complex
or multiple sugars
Glucose (dextrose or Grape
sugar)
Fructose (from ripe fruits)
Galactose (derived from
lactose)
Sucrose (cane sugar or table
sugar)
Lactose (milk sugar)
Maltose (sugar from grains)
Starch (cereal grains & flour
products)
Glycogen (animal starch)
Cellulose (skin or covering of
fruits or vegetables)
Pectin (base for jellies)
Grape, fruit juice, honey, milk
Sugarcane, sugar beets,
molasses, milk &cereals
Cereal, root crops, bulb
products, honey, stalks and
leaves of vegetables and outer
covering of seeds
2. Proteins
These are complex organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and
nitrogen. They build, repair and maintain body tissues. They supply heat and energy when there is
shortage of fats and carbohydrates in our meals. Proteins are classified into three types.
a. Complete Protein – protein that contains all the essential amino acids. Sources: meat, fish,
poultry, eggs, milk and milk products.
b. Partially complete protein – protein that maintains life but fails to support normal growth of
tissues because it contains the all essential amino acids but relatively small amount of one essential
amino acid. Sources: Cereals like wheat, barely and rye.
c. Incomplete protein – protein that can either maintain life or support life or growth because it
lacks one or more essential amino acid.
3. Fats
Fats or lipids are made up of mixture of different fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids come mainly
from animal sources usually become solid at room temperature. Examp0les are butter and lard.
Unsaturated fatty acids come from plant sources such as olive oil, vegetable oil and corn oil. They
are essential to maintain the constant body temperature by providing effective insulation
underneath the skin. They also contribute flavor and palatability to the diet
4. Vitamins and Minerals
Vitamins and minerals regulate body processes. Both work together for the health of bones and
teeth. Minerals or vitamins alone cannot produce good health results for the maintenance of the health of
the human body. Minerals are obtained from plants and soil wjile vitamins occur exclusively in the living
tissues

PRINCIPLES OF MEAL PLANNING
Meal planning is the process of planning and deciding of the food to be served to the family which
starts from menu planning up the serving of foods. It keeps meal nutritionally adequate to meet the needs
and requirements of each member. Meal Planning is influenced by the following factors: (Soriano, N. 2004)
1. Nutritional Adequacy – or the provision of palatable foods that are rich in essential nutrients.
Nutrients needed of an individual is affected by age, sex, body build, and activities that one is
engaged in by the individual.
2. Food Budget – The food budget is influenced by the family income, knowledge of the market
shopper’s shopping skills, family likes and dislikes and their goals and values.
3. Differences in food habits – This refers to the dietary habits of nationality, groups, regional food
patterns, cultural and religious food patterns and the socio-economic background.
4. The time skills of the meal manager – The length of the meal preparation, the amount of
experience, and the time available are to be considered.

5. Suitability, availability and quality of food to be served.
6. Aesthetic and psychological aspects as well as variety in color, form and arrangement
7. Equipment available for food preparation
PROCEDURES IN MENU PLANNING
Menu – is a determined list of food or dishes to be served.
Meal Pattern – is an outline which list the arts of the meal called courses.
The Mechanics of Menu Planning
Consider the following suggestions when planning a menu:
A. The menu planner can consult the following sources
1. Standardized recipes with corresponding costs for budget purposes
2. Previous menu files
3. List of comments and suggestions from patrons’ comments and suggestions
4. Stock inventory availability of resources
5. Popularity index file, which is a file of dishes well-liked by family members

PURCHASING, RECEIVING AND STORING
Purchasing, receiving and storing are the three interlaced processes considered by home makers as
in food businesses. Purchasing, which is the first step, should be carefully done because it serves as the
foundation of the other two processes. If the food is not purchased correctly, receiving and storing will not
be better. Therefore, in purchasing food items, pointers are to be considered regarding the food items to
buy. A purchaser should know the different good qualities of food type in order to purchase the best
quality. Receiving, is not really about dropping off something and holding it without looking at it. Storing on
the other hand, should cover the “keeping process”, in which food of different types should be stored in
the different manner.
GENERAL TIPS IN PURCHASING
1. Determine what items or products should be purchased, specifying the quality and quantity
2. Know the market situation about the products, such as supply, demand, market availability and
related information.
3. Contact or visit possible sources to know what products are being offered and what price.
4. Compare the products available from different sources with your product specification
5. Evaluate what the supplier has to offer against your needs.
6. Decide on the supplier or vendor
CONSERVING FOOD NUTRIENTS IN COOKING
1. Do not cut or soak vegetables before cooking

2. Wash vegetables before cutting them
3. Cut vegetables as close to cooking period.
4. Keep water boiling before adding the vegetables.
5. Use small amount of water, vegetables basically contains water.
6. Cook vegetables at the shortest time possible. Do not over cook.
7. Serve fruits just after slicing them.
8. Serve vegetables immediately after chopping of shredding.
9. Cook frozen foods before completely thawing them.
10. Do not discard vegetable water. Use it in sauces, soups or gravies.
11. Cover the pan while cooking the vegetables. Stir occasionally
THE RUES FOR HEATING AND COOLING FOODS:
1. Liquids should be cooked in amounts small enough to ensure even temperature throughout, and
stirred frequently
2. Re-heating of cooked food is best done quickly in infrared units.
3. Food should be cooked or re-heated to at a least 70C to destroy any organism.
4. If food is to be eaten cold, It should be cooled quickly to prevent new bacterial growth.
METHOD OF STORING FOOD SUPPLIES
1. Fish and shell fish – dress the fish soon after arriving from the market. Cut into desired pieces. Rinse
very well. Shell fish should be cooked first. Place in a plastic container and keep in the coldest part
of the refrigerator.
2. Meat – rinse meat under running water and drain. Cut it into desired size or according to prescribed
recipe and place in a separate container.
3. Poultry – rinse water, drain and cut into desired pieces and place in a separate container and store
in the freezer.
4. Eggs – wipe cleaned, store in upper position at the compartment. To keep eggs in good condition,
wrap in a plastic or coat with a little amount of oil, this prevents the escape of moisture through the
egg shells.
5. Fruits – wash, dry and place dry plastic bag with holes and keep in crisper. Citrus fruits must be
covered tightly before storing in the refrigerator. This will prevent the spread of odor.
6. Vegetables – wrap with paper and place in the crisper area of the refrigerator.
7. Staples - cereals such as rice and flour must be stored in dry, covered container to protect from
weevils or bukbok.
FOOD PRESERVATION

• Freezing is placing food in the freezer to prevent spoilage.
• Drying extract water from food items which is done under the sun, dry wind or with use of
mechanical dryer. Dried products include dried fish, meat and legumes like beans, and other seed
vegetables. These advantages are :
- Dried foods require less storage space than other types of food considering
the great percentage of moisture present in most food is reduced in the
dehydrated form.
- Dried food weigh much less than its equivalent amount of canned product.
- Dried foods can be preserved without the addition of sugar.
•Using preservative mediums like sugar, salt, spices, saltpeter and vinegar prolongs shell life of
foods like in tocino, jam, jelly, candied fruits and vegetables.
•Fermentation is done through the use of yeast which ferment the natural sugar. Yeast utilizes the
sugar even without oxygen to produce alcohol, which acts as a preservative. When the container is
opened, acetic acid bacteria will oxidize the alcohol producing vinegar.
TIPS IN PREPARING PRESERVED FOODS
• Do freeze in suitable container such as glass freezer jar or aluminum containers. To avoid
transferring during reheating, use ovenproof dishes or casseroles.
• Fish sausage may also be made out of tuna, shark, and other cheap specifies of fish. This would
increase the protein intake of low cost Filipino meal.
• To cook small amount of bacon, place the strips in a cold frying pan over the medium heat.
When the strip turned opaque turn it to the other side. Drain in absorbent paper after frying.
•Cook pickles in glass with glass tops preferably since the acid and salt of the pickle may corrode
the metal cups.
• Preserve your acetic acid preserves by proper pasteurization.
• Avoid stuck fermentation. Never add vinegar to the fresh juice of fruits because it interferes
with the year fermentation and will result in weak vinegar.
BASIC COOKING TECHNIQUES
MEAT / POULTRY COOKERY
1. Use the cut meat appropriate for the intended method of cooking.
2. Always cook pork thoroughly.
3. In roasting, arrange meat with its fats side up over the rack to allow the fat drippings to
spread their flavor over the food.
4. In frying, make sure the cooking oil is hot before placing the meat in the pan.
5. The less tender cuts of meat suitable for moist-heat cooking give more flavor compared to
the tender cuts
6. Older chickens have tough meat which must be cooked slowly at moderate temperature.

EGG COOKERY
1. Always cook eggs in moderate heat.
2. In boiling, plunge the eggs in boiling water until the desired degree of doneness is attained.
FISH COOKERY
1. Cook quickly at high to moderate temperature.
2. Over cooked fish tends to break into pieces because it has less conductive tissues.
RICE COOKERY
1. Use the correct amount of water.
2. Use less amount of water to newly harvested rice.
3. Rice must not be washed too much to prevent excessive loss of nutrients.
WORTHY HOME MEMBERSHIP
• The hours spent with family and friends make up most of the family life. It is usual for several
generations of kinsfolk to be living together, sharing the same table, roof and income.
• Home is a place where you are safe from the cold of the night and heat of the sun. Home provides a
place to sleep, eat daily meals and security from harm.
• Even though a house has the finest and most expensive furniture in the world, it may not be a real
home to the family that lives in it. These people are bound by their mutual need for each other.
Working together, they can find values each cannot accomplished alone. By caring and sharing, all
help build strong family ties that bind together generation with generation.
• A home is a place where you have the feeling that you belong, and where there is permanence and
security. Love, affection, understanding, sharing and sacrifice are the cornerstones upon which
worth-while family experiences must be built.
• No two families have the same finances. Neither is there equality in the provision of material things.
It is neither the amount of money nor the number of material things that you can be proud of. The
energy and the good will of members are best needed to achieve a common goal – a happy, secure,
and loving family – these are the possessions that are really worthwhile.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENT OF THE FAMILY
• The physical requirements of the family (food, clothing, shelter) represent the reasons why parents
work hard.
• Our ideas of physical need change with the times as we grow older.
SPIRITUAL REQUIREMENT OF THE FAMILY
• The family recognizes the importance of moral and spiritual goals that form the foundation on
which their lives are built.
• Each family has a code of ethics. Upon this code, members determine what is right, what is wrong,
what is good, and what is bad.

• The decision a person makes is based upon the moral code that a family builds.
• This code should be acceptable to the family as well as to the community.
• We need a strong moral code so that we can say “no” without faltering when we feel the wrong
choice is demanded by a few in the group.
• Our families help us to set rules that make it easier to get along at home and with friends. By
communicating with each other, we can decide which activities are best to pursue.
EMOTIONAL GROWTH
• Means controlling our actions better, not allowing actions to control us. Adolescence is the period
of emotional formation.
• The family plays an important role in meeting emotional needs. A family that works, plays together,
treats each member as an individual who must develop in his/her own way, should have a very
satisfactory experience together through the years.
MENTAL GROWTH
• Experience does much to one’s plans. While you are in school, take advantage of as many
opportunities as you can. Participate in worthwhile activities. This is the time when you have an
opportunity to begin developing your greatest potential.
• Reading good books, newspapers, and magazines broaden your horizons.
• The experience you have as you travel will help you to be informed, if you compare them with other
experiences.
• Another phase of maturing mentally is to become aware of the services you can perform to help
others. Religious organizations, scout groups, school clubs, help to round out your experiences in
building your future.
• Your activities will help you to make mature decisions. Experience helps you to decide what is
worthy and worthwhile. As you mature, it becomes easier to concentrate on the work at hand.
When you learn to solve problems from a mental image of something you have already learned, you
have acquired re “building block”.
• Such images called basic concepts, stays with us.
RELATIONSHIPS WITH FAMILY MEMBERS
• The family unit is most important to each individual. A happy family is a family whose members
know: courtesy, understanding, consideration for the individual.
• Courtesy, doing the things for each other politely, with less concern for their own feelings. It is an
expression of respect for one another.
• Understanding teaches us adjustment of differences, and tolerance. Each member has different
ideas and beliefs which you accept without necessarily agreeing or trying to dissuade.
• Consideration for the individuals in the home is an expression of thoughtfulness and sympathy. You

is chiefly used for sleeping and dressing but in modern days, a room has varied uses. Such a room
deserves careful taught and planning to make it as livable as possible.

furnishings are adequate for the activities which are carried on in a room, and that they are
arranged for maximum convenience. It means also that the whole effect is pleasant to the eye.

A comfortable bed, placed so that the sleeper is not disturbed by strong light or draft from the
windows, provides for restful nights and naps.

- Color, use the color that pleases and complements you.
- Fabrics, draperies, bed spreads, upholstery or a rug give a feeling of warmth.
- Objects meaning cherished objects you love – like grandma’s rocking chair, music box. These
objects show you are warm and have feeling.
- Objects you make. These things show any artistic skill you may have, or interest that are
important to you – like making stuffed toys, girl’s accessories and others.

rooms are rectangular and most furniture and rugs are also more or less rectangular. Furniture and
furnishing should be in line with the shape of the room.
• Every room should have a center of interest which means there should be one dominant feature
which attracts your attention.
• Avoid cluttered effect caused by too many figured materials.
