Nutrition: Lesson 7 (Coop), Nutrients

Type of Work: Pairs/Team Product: MindMap Class Time: 2 Periods EOC: Submit URL to Schoology (Nutrition Lesson 7) Due: 3 Periods Concept: The function of eating is not just to meet our hunger needs, we often fail to realize that food acts as our fuel. This fuel is enriched with vital nutrients; and every one of these nutrients has a specialized purpose to fulfill for our bodys health and nourishment needs. Nutrients are these nourishing substances that we obtain from food that are vital for growth and maintenance of a healthy body throughout life. There are 6 classes of nutrients found in food: carbohydrates, fats (or lipids), proteins, vitamins, minerals and water and are all essential for regulating a wide array of bodily functions. Goal: TSWBAT: Identify the six main classes of nutrients and provide an overview of each nutrient (functions, calories, quality food sources of each nutrient etc). Each nutrient will have nutrient-specific content as well (complex vs. simple carbs, sat. vs. unsat fats, etc). Day 1: Data Mining/Organizing Day 2: Demo Program Used, Formatting Group Work, Entering in Program, Submitting Assignment Do only 1 Level. KEEP THE FORMATTING TO YOUR OUTLINE.THIS WILL BE CRITICAL TO YOUR ASSIGNMENT. It looks like a lot but you are only answering the ?s in your research (use the resources listing in your readings). Leave EVERYTHING else alone and keep it there. Take my suggestions on how to break up the assignment. Once your group is done you are going to piece your outline back together. You will have the first two minutes to get out of your seat and decide who will do which portion (all other communication has to be done from your seat). Once you have your portion of the assignment start working on filling out your portion of the outline. You will all end up with your own assignment and submit your own url (worry about this tomorrow).

Nutrients (Level 4)
Carbohydrates Overview Calories Per Gram 1 gram = 4 calories Functions give energy to the body source of dietary fiber regulate insulin levels % of Total Calories they should be about 50% of calorie intake Simple Carbs: simple sugars with a chemical structure that is composed of one or two sugars Examples: honey chocolate Fast Burning Definition: since they are made up of simple sugars, the body absorbs it really quickly Nutrient Quality: very little to the body Complex Carbs: Simple carbohydrates are simple sugars with a chemical structure that is composed of one or two sugars Examples: broccoli whole grains Slow Burning Carbs that are high in fiber and leave the body more energy for longer time Nutrient Quality: It breaks down into glycogen slowly Glycemic Index Measurement of how quickly blood sugar levels rise after eating How much each gram of carbs raises a persons blood glucose level Examples of Foods High GI white bread, pretzels Low GI beans, nuts

Carbs and Type 2 Diabetes 90% of carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is sugar It can damage blood vessels in people with type 2 diabetes Type 2 Diabetes When the body does not naturally produce enough insulin Health Consequences high cholesterol high blood pressure bigger risk of stroke Fats/Lipids Overview Calories Per Gram 9 calories/gram Function Stores Energy Can Be Burned as Energy Protects Vital Organs % of Total Calories less than 30% Saturated Sources Foods Derived from Animals. Room Temp Solid at Room Temperature Heart Health Increase Cholesterol Levels Increase the Risk of Atherosclerosis. Unsaturated Sources Derived from Plants Room Temp Liquid at Room Temperature Heart Health Can Help Reduce Bad Cholesterol Levels High in Vitamin E Trans Fat Def Man-Made Fats Examples of Products

Commercially Baked: -Cookies -Cracker -Doughnuts How Made Adding Hydrogen Atoms to Monounsaturated or Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Why Made: Prolong Shelf-Life Impact on Health Lowers High-Density Lipoprotein Denmark Banned the Use of Oils Containing More Than 2 Percent TFA Protein Overview Calories Per Gram 4 Function Working Proteins egg whites Structural Proteins keratins % of Total Calories 35 Amino Acids (Define): Complete Proteins is a source of protein that contains an adequate proportion Examples/Sources meat poultry fish Incomplete Proteins any protein that lacks one or more essential amino acids in correct proportions Examples/Sources grains nuts beans Recommendations for Protein Amount it varies by body weight but at least 50g per day Quality Sources wild salmon organic chicken tuna fish Vitamins Overview Define: an organic compound required by an organism as a vital nutrient in limited amounts Calories Per Gram: 0

Major Functions promotes normal growth of bones bone and tooth formation regulates absorptions and use of calcium protects red blood cells stabilizes cell membranes Fat Soluble Vitamins Defined: are stored for long periods, they generally pose a greater risk for toxicity than water-soluble vitamins when consumed in excess Examples: Vitamin A Vitamin E Vitamin D Vitamin K Water Soluble Defined: any vitamin that is soluble in water Examples: Vitamin B-complex Vitamin C MultiVitamin Do You Need One Yes Explain? No Explain? Maybe: multivitamins help the brain but they do not help people live longer Minerals Overview Calories Per Gram 0 Major Functions Building bones and. making hormones regulating your heartbeat regulating bodily process Good Food Sources Eggs Milk Trace Minerals Chemical elements required by living organisms Fiber Overview Function(s) Regulate digestion Good Sources of Fiber Grains, fruits, and vegetables
