The document discusses the 6 essential nutrients - vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and water. It provides information on what each nutrient does for the body, examples of good food sources, and the effects of getting too much or too little of each nutrient. The key points made are that a balanced diet provides all essential nutrients, different nutrients perform important functions like energy production, growth and repair, and deficiencies or excesses of nutrients can impact health and bodily processes.

FOODS WE EAT - ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES CLASS III-CBSEBIOLOGY TEACHER
Most of our food is made of these things. We get food from plants and animals. Depending on what grows easily at which place, different things are eaten at different places. We not only eat different things but we also use the same things to prepare a variety of food items.
Food is a nutritive substance taken by an organism for growth work, repair and maintaining life processes. Food is a kind of fuel for the living things. Just as petrol fuel for our car, in the same way, food is a fuel for our body.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. I Can…
Identify the effects of getting
too much vs.
not enough of the 6 Essential Nutrients.
Understand the importance of making
healthy, balanced choices.
3. What do you know?
a) Go to the Wiki and download the worksheet for today.
b) In pairs work to write down what you think you know about
each of the nutrients in the table:
1. What does the nutrient do for your body?
2. What happens to your body if you get too much or too little
of the nutrient?
3. What foods are good sources of this nutrient?
Vitamins
Minerals
Water
4. Diet: all the food consumed
by an individual for a period
of time.
5. Balanced Diets:
1) provide all essential
nutrients for life
processes
(growth, repair, etc.)
2) supply enough energy
for life processes
6. Carbohydrates
Complex Carbohydrates:
•Include starches and fiber
•About 50% of your diet should
•come from complex carbohydrates.
Examples:
pasta, wheat, corn, vegetables, fruit,
beans, grains.
Simple Carbohydrates
• Sugars: glucose, fructose and sucrose.
minerals to
Limit how many simple carbohydrates you eat
because they don’t add many vitamins or
your diet.
Examples of foods containing simple carbohydrates include candy,
soft drinks, cakes and cookies.
7.
8. Proteins
What do proteins do for your body?
Proteins are made up of amino acids the body uses to make skin,
muscle and bone.
The body requires 20 amino acids for good health. But only 11 are
produced within the body itself.
The remaining 9 are called essential amino acids, because it’s
essential to include them in your diet.
The body can’t store amino acids, so
it’s important to eat some protein almost
daily.
9. What foods are good sources of protein?
Tofu, Meat, chicken, fish, eggs, beans and nuts.
Food that supplies all 9 essential amino acids is called a complete
protein. Ex. Most animal sources are complete, while plant sources are
often incomplete.
People who don’t eat animal protein can combine sources of plant
proteins to be sure they get the essential amino acids.
Ex. Beans and rice form a complete protein when eaten together.
11. What if you have too little or too much protein?
About 10-15% of your diet should come from proteins.
TOO LITTLE: may cause insufficient development of bones and
muscles, and problems related to skin tone.
TOO MUCH: Eating large amounts of protein may contribute to many
problems because many foods high in protein are also high in fats,
which can increase risk of hypertension, high cholesterol, heart disease
and diabetes.
12. Fats
What do fats do for your body?
Fats are essential:
For healthy skin and hair.
For normal growth and nerve function.
For the production of certain hormones.
For absorbing vitamins during digestion.
Fat can be burned as energy when the body
doesn’t have enough carbohydrates stored.
but the level of the
The body needs a certain amount of fat to:
Insulate against cold.
Provide energy for muscles.
Provide a layer of padding between skin and muscles.
Protect internal organs.
13. What foods have fat?
A trace of fat is found in almost all foods.
Examples of foods with fats include meat, fish,
dairy products, oils, nuts and chocolate.
Many foods, such as potatoes, have little or no fat naturally, but become
high in fat when cooked in oil – e.g. french fries and hash browns.
*******Not all fats are created equal!!!!********
Too little or too much fat?
20-30% of your diet should be fats.
TOO LITTLE: Health problems!
Cold, low energy, low fat-soluble vitamins (A, K, E, D), hunger (not satisfied!), dry
skin, mental fatigue, poor hormone production (and menstrual cycle loss-women),
poor digestion, mood swings/irritability, impaired growth.
TOO MUCH: Health problems - including obesity, heart disease, diabetes and
hypertension, increased risk of certain cancers.
14. Minerals
Common minerals include calcium, sodium, potassium, iron, iodine and zinc.
Found in almost all foods, but Vegetables, fruits and grain products are
particularly good sources.
What do minerals do for your body?
Important for growth and maintenance of body structures
Help regulate metabolism.
15.
16. Vitamins
What do vitamins do for your body?
Vitamins help the body produce energy.
Vitamins are compounds that help regulate body processes such as:
• Digestion
• Growth
• Metabolism
• Hormone development
• Wound healing
• Nerve function
17. Sources
Vitamins are found in all food groups.
Common sources of vitamins are fruits and vegetables. Green leafy
and yellow vegetables are especially good sources of vitamins A and B.
Oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes and
green chilies are excellent sources of vitamin C.
The body makes vitamin D through
exposure to sunlight.
18. What if you have too little or too many vitamins?
•Vitamin deficiencies can cause a wide range of health problems
several diseases rarely seen in the U.S. These include:
including
• scurvy (caused by not enough vitamin C)
Scurvy leads to the formation of spots on the skin, spongy gums, and bleeding from the mucous membranes.
The spots are most abundant on the thighs and legs, and a person with the ailment looks pale, feels depressed,
and is partially immobilized. In advanced scurvy there are open, suppurating wounds and loss of teeth.
• beriberi (caused by lack of vitamin B) –
A nervous system ailment.
Symptoms of beriberi include severe lethargy and fatigue, together with
complications affecting the cardiovascular, nervous, muscular, and
gastrointestinal systems.
• rickets (caused by a lack of vitamin D)
a softening of bones in children potentially leading to fractures and
deformity.
Vitamin deficiency in this country primarily cause:
Poor regulation of internal body processes.
The body not being able to produce high levels of energy.
19. Water
~2/3 Body mass -Water makes up the
bulk of blood, extracellular fluid, and
other bodily fluids
Every one of your cells needs water to
complete its processes
At least 1 L a day! Vital for fluid balance.
20. H20ooh that’s refreshing!
Flushing toxins from cells
Lubricates tissues and joints
Forms essential body fluids, such as blood & mucus
Regulates body temperature (by sweating)
Eliminates waste materials
(in urine & sweat)
21. What does water do for your body?
Water assists in digestion and respiration.
Water helps carry nutrients and oxygen throughout the body.
Water is an essential nutrient that makes up 50-75% of your body weight.
Water is so important that your body can’t live for more than a few days without it.
22. What if you have too little or too much water?
*The body loses about 1 quart of water each day. To replace body
fluids, experts recommend drinking 8 or more glasses of water daily,
instead of drinking soda, coffee, juice or other beverages*
Not drinking enough water can compromise all of the body’s
systems.
Water allows the body to:
Use water-soluble vitamins
Carry oxygen in the blood.
Regulate body temperature
When water deficiency is severe, the body systems shut down and
death occurs.
Some experts believe that large amounts of water may dilute and wash
water-soluble vitamins from the body.
