Firstly, in order to obtain good health we need to consume a daily balanced diet. To do this, we must consume the daily amount of food requirements. In a balanced diet, there are seven essential components. These are: * Carbohydrates * Proteins * Minerals * Vitamins * Fat (Lipids) Carbohydrates are a simple sugar nutrient that provide energy and maintain a healthy body. Carbohydrates are formed of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen as the basics.
TDA 2.14 1.1 Children need to be given a balanced diet which conforms to their cultural, ethnic and religious beliefs. A balanced diet consists of vitamin, minerals, water, protein, fats, carbohydrates and fibre. It is made up of different portions of nutrients these are:- 2 portions of protein obtained from meat 2 portions of protein obtained from dairy foods 5 portions of fruit and vegetables 1 and a half pints of fluid. There are two main functions of nutrients theses are to provide the body with material for growth and repair and to provide the body with energy. The nutrients are and help the body by :- Carbohydrates:- these are a source of energy as are fats and proteins they provide fibre that is good for maintaining children's bowels.
Amino acids are the foundation for the proteins in our body. They give structure to our cells and transport stored nutrients. Branched-chain amino acids or BCAA’s are made up of three essential amino acids. BCAA’s are vital for muscle recovery, meaning the body is going to be prepared and ready to exercise again. The Paleo diet consist of many foods which have a high content of BCAAs such as chicken breast, canned tuna, steak, eggs, salmon, tilapia,
Chemistry: Molarity and Stoichiometry Directions: Using the definition of molarity, the given balanced equations, and stoichiometry, solve the following problems. Please submit your work via the link provided. 1. Calcium hydroxide (“slaked lime”) and sulfuric acid react to produce calcium sulfate and water according to the following balanced equation: Ca(OH)2(aq) + H2SO4(aq) ⋄ CaSO4(s) + 2 H2O(l) a. How many liters of 0.2 M calcium hydroxide do you need in order to have 6.0 moles of calcium hydroxide?
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
The food we eat gives us carbohydrates, lipids and other nutrients to carry out the process of life. d) Why is water so important to all living things? (1 point) HINT: Think about what organisms are made of. Living things such as plants need water to grow and produce flowers, fruits, vegetables, etc. Living things such as humans need water to rehydrate and lubricate their bodies, skin, tissue, joints, and brain.
Proteins hasten wound healing while fat helps the body absorbed essential vitamins (e.g. Vitamin D, E and K). What is the importance of these fat-soluble vitamins? For starters, vitamin D plays a critical role in the body’s use of calcium and phosphorous. It increases the amount of calcium absorbed from the small intestine and helps form and maintain bones.
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
Supplying enough energy to support the many functions of the body at work and play is one of the chief functions of food. This energy comes from the fats, carbohydrates, and proteins in the food you eat. Without energy stored in our bodies- our bodies would not function. It is required for the molecules to move in and out of the cells, for breaking down large molecules and also foe building new ones. The role of energy in our body consists of the breakdown of large, complex molecules to the simplest form to release energy, this is called catabolism.
All other vitamins should be at least 80%. Address each vitamin under 80% of goal. Discuss the function for each vitamin and what foods you would find them in. |Vitamin A |Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, |Liver, eggs, dark green and orange | | |meaning that it requires fat for your |fruits and vegetables, dairy products | | |body to absorb it.
