The roles and food sources of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are described. The document also discusses malnutrition, the steps of nutrition from ingestion to utilization, and recommendations for an effective nutritional plan.
Micro minerals
This document discusses human nutrition as it relates to iodine, fluoride, and magnesium. It provides information on the functions, sources, recommended daily amounts, and effects of deficiencies and toxicities for each mineral. Iodine is needed to make thyroid hormones which regulate metabolism. Sources include seafood, bread, and iodized salt. A deficiency can cause goiter or cretinism. Fluoride strengthens teeth and bones. It is found in drinking water and too much can cause dental or skeletal fluorosis. Magnesium is involved in many enzyme systems and is found in vegetables, grains, and dairy. Deficiencies or toxicities of any of these minerals can impact health.
Lipids and fats
1. Lipids include triglycerides, fatty acids, phospholipids, sterols, and cholesterol. They provide energy, aid nutrient absorption, and structure cell membranes.
2. Triglycerides are composed of a glycerol molecule bonded to three fatty acids. Fatty acids vary in length and saturation. Saturated fats have full hydrogen saturation while unsaturated fats contain double bonds.
3. Lipids are digested into fatty acids and mono/diglycerides then absorbed via micelles into the blood as chylomicrons for transport and storage. Essential fatty acids must be obtained through diet.
macronutrients and micronutrients
This document classifies nutrients and describes their functions. It discusses macronutrients and micronutrients, and explains that macronutrients are needed in large amounts and include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Carbohydrates are the main energy source and help spare protein for other functions. Proteins are needed for growth, tissue maintenance, and producing enzymes and hormones. Fats provide energy and help absorb nutrients. Micronutrients like vitamins and minerals are needed in small amounts but are essential for body functions.
Nutrition education
Good nutrition is the basis for good health, and both help in making education effective; good education.
The importance of nutrition
Nutrition is the study of how the body uses food for energy, growth, maintenance, and functioning. There are six classes of nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats supply calories and are the body's primary sources of energy, while vitamins, minerals, and water perform essential non-energy functions. A balanced diet should include appropriate amounts of each nutrient class to fuel physical activity, support growth and development, and promote overall health and wellness.
Lipids
This document discusses lipids (fats) including their composition, classification, functions, sources, and deficiencies. Lipids are comprised of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and provide 9 calories per gram. They are classified as simple lipids, compound lipids, waxes, and derived lipids. The main lipids in diet are triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols. Triglycerides make up 95% of dietary and body lipids and are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids. Phospholipids are important structures in membranes. Sterols are precursors to bile acids and sex hormones. Fats have many important functions like being an energy source and aiding vitamin absorption. Deficiencies can cause skin disorders like
Dietary fibre
This document discusses dietary fiber, including its definition, types (soluble, insoluble, functional), food sources, and health benefits. It defines dietary fiber as the portion of plant foods that is resistant to digestion. There are two main types - soluble fiber which dissolves in water, and insoluble fiber which does not dissolve. Sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts. Fiber promotes gastrointestinal and cardiovascular health, aids in weight and diabetes management, and protects against certain cancers. A high-fiber diet is an important part of an overall healthy lifestyle.
Nutritionist And Dietetics
This document discusses nutrition and dietetics programs which teach students how to use food therapeutically for disease management. Students learn food production techniques like menu planning, purchasing, storage, preparation, and cost control. Dietitians work in healthcare, education, corporate wellness, and research, using nutrition science to help people make healthy dietary choices and lifestyle improvements. Nutritionists study nutrients, diet, health, and may work in food science or journalism. Taking these courses prepares students to be clinical dietitians, community dietitians, or management dietitians who provide medical nutrition therapy, public nutrition programs, or manage food service operations.
Detox Diet Plan

It discusses common environmental and dietary toxins such as heavy metals, petrochemicals, pesticides, damaged fats, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and prescription drugs. The liver and kidneys are key organs for detoxification. Adopting a basic detox diet by eliminating sugars, nicotine, alcohol, caffeine, and chemicals can help reduce toxin exposure in the first week.
Nutritional deficieny diseases
This document discusses several nutritional deficiency diseases caused by a lack of essential nutrients in the diet. It describes goiter caused by iodine deficiency which results in swelling of the thyroid gland. Kwashiorkor is a disease of children caused by lack of protein in the diet, leading to stunted growth and edema. Marasmus results from general malnutrition and lack of energy and protein, causing a lean body and sunken eyes. Rickets is caused by lack of vitamin D and calcium in children, resulting in soft bones and bent limbs. The document emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet containing all essential nutrients to prevent these deficiency diseases.
Nutrition powerpoint
This document provides an overview of nutrition for 6th grade students. It defines nutrition and discusses the six major nutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and minerals, fats, and water. For each nutrient, it describes where they are found and their functions in the body. The document emphasizes that a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and healthy fats promotes good health and recommends drinking water as the best source of hydration.
Minerals
The minerals form only a small portion of the total body weight. They form only 7% of the composition of human body.
Many of these minerals are widely distributed in foods so that a well-balanced diet will supply them in sufficient quantities.
The mineral elements present in the animal body may be classified into 2 groups:
1.Principal elements(macro nutrients)
2.Trace elements(micro nutrients)
Nutritional facts of Energy
This document discusses energy and its relationship to nutrition, health, and the human body. It defines energy as the capacity to do work and explains that the body converts food into energy through digestion. The document outlines several key points about energy: (1) energy requirements vary based on factors like age, gender, body size, and physical activity level; (2) the standard units for measuring energy are calories (cal), kilocalories (kcal), and joules (J); (3) major components of energy requirements include basal metabolic rate (BMR), physical activity, growth, pregnancy, and lactation. The document also discusses body mass index (BMI) and factors that can affect BMR and overall energy expenditure.

Water is one of the essential elements that sustain human life. The human body is
composed of approximately 60% water, which is responsible for maintaining
various bodily functions. Adequate hydration is essential for optimal physical and
mental health, yet many individuals fail to consume enough water daily. In this
article, we will examine the importance of hydration for overall wellness.
Dehydration
Dehydration (from the Greek hydor (water)) and the Latin prefix de- (indicating deprivation, removal, and separation) occurs when more water and fluids are exiting the body than are entering the body. With about 75% of the body made up of water found inside cells, within blood vessels, and between cells, survival requires a rather sophisticated water management system. Luckily, our bodies have such a system, and our thirst mechanism tells us when we need to increase fluid intake. Although water is lost constantly throughout the day as we breathe, sweat, urinate, and defecate, we can replenish the water in our body by drinking fluids. The body can also shift water around to areas where it is more needed if dehydration begins to occur.

Water - essential for life
Water is essential for life. It makes up over 60% of the human body and is necessary for many bodily functions like organ function, temperature regulation, and waste removal. Dehydration can cause issues like fatigue, muscle cramps, and reduced alertness. Drinking enough water helps with skin health, digestion, constipation, and heart health. While water is best, many flavored waters and herbal waters provide additional benefits like minerals and antioxidants. The pH and mineral content of drinking water may also impact health conditions like diabetes. It is generally best to drink warm or hot water after meals for easier digestion.
Effects of Dehydration
Dehydration occurs when the body loses more fluid than it takes in and can have negative health effects. Water is essential for many bodily functions like digestion, circulation, and temperature regulation. When the body is dehydrated, these functions are impaired. Some signs of dehydration include fatigue, headaches, and kidney problems. People can prevent dehydration by drinking plenty of water each day, about 3 liters, and consuming fruits and vegetables high in water content. Maintaining proper hydration is important for overall health and well-being.
Drinking sufficient water is very important for our body
Drinking sufficient water is important for health. Water helps digest food and remove waste through urine, poop, and sweat. It is the main component of bodily fluids and is needed for cells to function. Drinking water prevents dehydration, unclear thinking, mood changes, overheating, constipation, and kidney stones. The human body is 60% water, which it needs to maintain temperature, circulate nutrients through absorption and assimilation, and create digestive juices.

The document summarizes the composition, distribution, functions, and requirements of water in the human body. It states that water makes up over two-thirds of the human body and is essential for all cell and organ functions. It discusses how water is lost and regulated in the body through various systems like the kidneys, skin, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract. The document also covers dehydration and overhydration conditions that can occur if water balance is disrupted.
The signs and symptoms of dehydration
This document discusses signs and symptoms of dehydration at different levels of fluid loss, as well as causes, treatment, and prevention of dehydration. Mild dehydration can cause thirst and dry mouth, while more severe dehydration over 10% fluid loss leads to muscle spasms, vomiting and confusion. Dehydration is caused by fluid loss from vomiting, diarrhea or excessive sweating without replenishment. Treatment involves slow rehydration with water and electrolyte replacement. Prevention focuses on drinking adequate water daily based on individual needs and factors like climate, and replacing fluids lost through sweat and urine.

This document discusses the importance of water and the benefits of ionized water. It notes that water makes up about 75% of the human body and is essential for many bodily functions and processes. However, chronic dehydration is common. Ionized water is highlighted as a beneficial type of water. Ionized water undergoes a process that separates ions and changes the water's pH, oxidation reduction potential, and molecular structure. These changes can provide health benefits when the water is consumed. The document outlines several health conditions that have been treated using ionized water.

Water is essential for human life and makes up over 60% of the human body. It serves many critical functions including transporting nutrients, regulating body temperature, lubricating joints, and removing waste. The average adult needs around 6-8 cups of water per day from foods and beverages to maintain proper hydration, though needs can vary depending on activity level, climate, health factors, and more. Dehydration occurs when the body loses more water than it takes in and can have mild to severe health effects if not addressed.

Water- an essential nutrient
- 1. Stay hydrated. Stay healthy. 7/11/2021 Rancy D’Souza
- 2. Outline of contents • Introduction • Functions of water in our body • What is dehydration? • Causes of dehydration • Consequences of dehydration • Symptoms of dehydration • Ways to prevent dehydration • Recommended daily intake of water • Concluding note
- 3. Introduction • Water is imperative for the survival of all living beings on earth. • Up to 60% of the human adult body is water. • Water has many important functions in our body and is crucial for maintaining good health. • Keeping ourselves hydrated is essential to keep our body functioning properly and to protect our body. • Staying hydrated is a key to staying healthy.
- 4. Functions of water? Here are some major functions of water in our body: Water regulates the body temperature Lubricates our joints Keeps membranes moist Helps our organs to absorb nutrients Water has a significant role in digestion Helps the liver in waste removal (detoxification) Acts as a shock absorber for brain, spinal cord and foetus Water carries oxygen and nutrients to cells.
- 5. What is dehydration? Digestion, elimination and the process of generating energy in the body use significant amount of water. Our body keeps internal fluid balance in order to function normally. Due to inadequate supply of water/fluid, we lose more fluid than we take in and the balance is lost. This is ‘dehydration’.
- 6. Causes of dehydration Not drinking enough water, especially in summer Diarrhea Vomiting Excessive sweating Fever Diabetes
- 7. Consequences of dehydration Due to dehydration, important body functions such as circulation, blood flow and oxygen delivery are affected. Dehydration can make it difficult for us to focus and decrease our physical performance. It can even put stress on our heart, kidneys and other organs. Dehydration can lead to severe complications such as Heat stroke, seizures, low blood volume shock.
- 8. Symptoms of dehydration Common symptoms in adults: • Severe fatigue • Dizziness • Headache • Difficulty to focus • Nausea • Dark colored urine • Muscle cramps In Children: • Dry tongue and mouth • Irritable • No tears when crying • Sunken cheeks/eyes • No wet diaper for 3 or more hours. • Being unusually drowsy
- 9. Ways to prevent dehydration Drink enough water/fluids everyday. Consume foods that are high in water content such as soups, fruits and vegetables. Prioritize replenishing body fluid if you are exercising feeling thirsty indicates you are dehydrated, drink water immediately.
- 10. Recommended daily intake of water The amount of water to be consumed per day depends upon certain factors such as age, gender, climate, health and activity level. As per the general recommendation from U.S. National Academies of sciences, engineering and medicines, the daily water intake for women is 2.7 liters a day and for men, 3.7 liters a day.
- 11. Concluding Notes • Nothing can replace water and ignoring the importance of drinking enough water can cost us our health. • Let us prevent dehydration by keeping ourselves hydrated and help others too, by spreading awareness. • Developing a healthy habit of drinking water can make us healthy and cheerful.
