Foods made from milk that retain their calcium content are part of the group 2) Identify sources of essential nutrients • Carbohydrates - fruits, breads and grains, starchy vegetables and sugars • Protein – meat, fish, cheese, tofu, beans, lentils, yogurt, nuts, and seeds • Fat – omega-3-rich foods like fish, walnuts and vegetable-based oils • Vitamins –citrus fruits, strawberries and peppers • Minerals –bananas, potatoes and tomatoes. • Water – water , vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, eggs, soups 3) Explain the role of essential nutrients for health • Carbohydrate - supplies energy ,assists in the utilization of fats • Protein - helps build and repair body tissue, helps build antibodies • Fat - supplies energy, aids in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins • Vitamins - Vitamins help to regulate chemical reactions in the body • Minerals - contains calcium and magnesium are important for bone structure, and
There are two different types of carbohydrate, simple carbohydrates (or sugars) and complex carbohydrates (starches and fibre). Proteins are a vital nutrient which us used by the body for growth and repair, it is very important for infants and children also individuals who are ill or injured. one characteristic of proteins is that they are made up of amino acids. They are complex molecules that can promote good health. Lipids are insoluble within water, they have high energy content and can be metabolized to release calories, but they have many other uses as well.
Unit 672 Promote nutrition and hydration in health and social care settings Hazel Marsh 1.1 There are main food groups which an individual must include in their diet in order for it to be balanced, they consist of; * Fruit and vegetables * Bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, and other starchy foods * Meat, fish, eggs, beans, and other non-dairy sources of protein * Milk and dairy foods * Food and drinks high in fat and/or
* Water – water , vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, eggs, soups 3) Explain the role of essential nutrients for health * Carbohydrate - supplies energy ,assists in the utilization of fats * Protein - helps build and repair body tissue, helps build antibodies * Fat - supplies energy, aids in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins * Vitamins - Vitamins help to regulate chemical reactions in the body * Minerals - contains calcium and magnesium are important for bone structure, and iron is needed for our red blood cells to transport oxygen * Water - Water helps to control our body temperature, carries nutrients and waste products from our cells, and is needed for our cells to function. 4) Evaluate the impact of poor diet on health and wellbeing Poor nutrition can impair daily health and wellbeing; reduce the ability to lead an enjoyable active life and causes disease and problems such
Amylase breaks down amylase and amylopectin (which are starches found commonly in foods such as pasta) and converts some of the starch maltose (a disaccharide.) It’s good to chew food so that the saliva can mix with the food and begin the digestive process. Amylase continues to break down starches until the food reaches the stomach where stomach acid neutralizes amylase. After food passes through the stomach and entering the small intestine, the pancreas is signaled to make pancreatic amylase. This amylase converts the remaining starch into maltose.
b) Circle or highlight the six most common elements found in living things. Do the same thing for the five other elements that are also found in the body in smaller quantities. (1 point) HINT: Think about the symbols for carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, chlorine, magnesium, sulfur, sodium, and potassium c) Explain how humans obtain the energy and matter they need in order to survive. (1 point) HINT: Think about the chemical bonds and what happens to atoms in your body. The food we eat gives us carbohydrates, lipids and other nutrients to carry out the process of life.
Produces essential proteins and clotting factors for the blood and regulates metabolism and cholesterol. Gall Bladder – Stores bile secreted by liver. Bile is used to help dissolve fats in the small intestine. Pancreas – Functions both as an exocrine gland and an endocrine gland. Exocrine portion secretes digestive enzymes carried to the duodenum.
Understand Your Fats and Fiber Samantha Erlitz SCI/241 October 10, 2013 Diana Layne Understand Your Fats and Fiber There are several types of fat, and fat is important to a healthy diet, but in the right quantities. Every gram of fat contains nine calories, regardless of the type of fat you consume. There are also certain fats that are healthier than others and some that are easier to recognize versus hidden fats. “A saturated fatty acid is one in which all the carbons in the fatty acid chain are saturated with hydrogen atoms.” (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006) These fats can be most commonly found in animal foods, and dairy products. Unsaturated fats tend to be liquid, and do not contain the hydrogen saturation that the saturated
The liver plays a huge role in the metabolic process. The liver somewhat proesses dietary amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and vitamins. It also synthesizes serum proteins. Most serum proteins includes albumin, blood coagulation factors, complement, and bindin proteins for iron, copper, and vitamin A. Its mature liver is in the right hypochondrium under the rib cage and stretches from the right fifth intercostal space at the midclavicullar line right
