NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
• Individual nutritional requirements vary with genetic and metabolic differences.
• For infants and children, the basic goals are satisfactory growth and the avoidance of deficiency states.
• Good nutrition helps to prevent acute and chronic illness and to develop physical and mental potential; it should also provide reserves for stress.

Energy needs
• Energy needs of children at different ages and under various conditions vary greatly.
• The approximate average expenditures of energy by the child 6-12 yr of age are basal metabolism, 50%; growth, 12%; physical activity, 25%; and fecal loss, about 8%, mainly as unabsorbed fat.

Distribution of calories
Approximately • 9-15% of the calories are derived from
protein, • 45–55% are derived from carbohydrate and • 35–45% are derived from fat.
Each gram of • Ingested protein or carbohydrate provides 4
kcal. • 1 g of long-chain fatty acids provides 9 kcal.

Proteins • Protein constitutes about 20% of adult body weight. Its
amino acids are essential nutrients in forming cell protoplasm.
• Twenty amino acids have been identified; eight were found to be essential for children and adults.
• Nonessential amino acids can be synthesized and need not be supplied in the diet.
• New tissue cannot be formed without all of the essential amino acids simultaneously present in the diet.
• The absence or deficiency of only one essential amino acid results in a negative nitrogen balance.

High glycemic load and insulin resistance
• Highly refined carbohydrates foods with a high glycemic load and /or index overstimulate insulin secretion.
• While hyperinsulinemia causes fat depositon in the fed state, it do not give permission to hydrolysis of fats.
• Insulin resistance leads to common chronic diseases.

• Açlık sırasında, normalde enerjimizin %80’ini veren yağların yeteri kadar yıkılmaması kan şekerini düşürür.
• Aşırı şeker alındıktan sonra oluşan bu şeker düşüklüğüne tepkisel (reaktif) hipoglisemi denir.
• Reaktif hipoglisemi değişik nöropsikiatrik bulgulara yol açar. Hipoglisemiye giren kişi semptomlarını hafifletmek için şekerli gıdalara aşırı düşer.

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS
• Essential fatty acids (EFA) are polyunsaturated and grouped into two families, the omega-6 EFAs and the omega-3 EFAs.
• Fats are molecules with a long carbon chain and they have two ends. One end has a methyl group and the other end has a carboxyl group.
• The Greek symbol "omega" is used as it is the last letter in the Greek alphabet. When omega is used in reference to fatty acids it is referring to the methyl end of the fatty acid.
![Page 31: Basic Principles of Nutriton](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568145b1550346895db2b0da/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Thus Omega-3 fatty acids refer to the family of fatty acids in which the first cis double bond closest to the methyl end of the fat is in the 3rd position.
• Omega-6 refers to the family of fatty acids where the first cis double bond closest to the methyl end is in the 6th position.
![Page 32: Basic Principles of Nutriton](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568145b1550346895db2b0da/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

• Although we do need both omega-3s and omega-6s it is becoming increasingly clear that an excess of omega-6 fatty acids can have dire consequences.
• Our ancestors evolved on a diet with a ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 of about 1:1.
• A massive change in dietary habits over the last few centuries has changed this ratio to >20:1 and this spells trouble.
![Page 34: Basic Principles of Nutriton](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568145b1550346895db2b0da/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Sources and requirements
• The main sources of omega-6 fats are vegetable oils such as corn oil and soy oil that contain a high proportion of linoleic acid.
• Omega-3 fats are found in flaxseed oil, walnut oil, and marine plankton and fatty fish.
• The main component of flaxseed and walnut oils is alpha-linolenic acid while the predominant fatty acids found in fatty fish and fish oils are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
![Page 35: Basic Principles of Nutriton](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568145b1550346895db2b0da/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
• Humans do not synthesize linoleic or linolenic acid. Both must be supplied in the diet and are, therefore, "essential."
• Linoleic acid is the precursor of arachidonic acid, the prostaglandins and the leukotrienes.
• Essential fatty acids are necessary for growth, skin and hair integrity, regulation of cholesterol metabolism, lipotropic activity, decreased platelet adhesiveness, and reproduction.

Minerals• Macrominerals. Minerals in which the requirements are
over 50 mg/day for an adult.
• The principal macrominerals are cations such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium and their comparable anions are phosphorus, sulfur, and chloride.
• Microminerals: Minerals in which the requirements are below 50 mg/day for an adult.
• Iron, iodine, and cobalt appear in important organic complexes. The trace elements fluorine, copper, zinc, chromium, manganese, selenium, and molybdenum have known metabolic roles; silicon, boron, nickel, aluminum, arsenic, bromine, and strontium are toxic and also present in the diet and in the body.

Water soluble vitamins• Because of their water solubility, excesses of
these vitamins are excreted in urine and so rarely accumulate in toxic concentrations.
• They are heat-labile and can be absorbed in malabsorption syndromes.
Fat soluble vitamins• Because of their fat solubility, excesses of these
vitamins are not excreted in urine and accumulate in toxic concentrations.
• They are heat-resistant and can not be absorbed in malabsorption syndromes.

Flavonoids
![Page 51: Basic Principles of Nutriton](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568145b1550346895db2b0da/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Flavonoids• Flavonoids are water soluble polyphenolic molecules
containing 15 carbon atoms. Flavonoids belong to the polyphenol family.
• Flavanoids can be visualized as two benzene rings which are joined together with a short three carbon chain.
• The flavonoids consist of 6 major subgroups: chalcone, flavone, flavonol, flavanone, anthocyanins and isoflavonoids.
• Together with carotenes, flavanoids are also responsible for the coloring of fruits, vegetables and herbs.
![Page 52: Basic Principles of Nutriton](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568145b1550346895db2b0da/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Flavonoids• Flavonoids have antioxidant activity. Flavonoids are
becoming very popular because they have many health promoting effects.
• Some of the activities attributed to flavonoids include: anti-allergic, anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral.
• Epidemiological studies have illustrated that heart diseases are inversely related to flavonoid intake.
• The contribution of flavonoids to the total antioxidant activity of components in food can be very high because daily intake can vary between 50 to 500 mg.

Probiotics
• There are 100 trillion beneficial bacteria = probiotics (1.5 kg) in your bowels (Bowel flora).
• Bacteria in your bowels outnumber the cells in your body by a factor of 10 to one.
• The health of your body is largely tied into the health of your gut, and it’s hard to have one be healthy if the other is not.
![Page 56: Basic Principles of Nutriton](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568145b1550346895db2b0da/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
• A large part of the influence of the "bad" bacteria is on the intestinal lining (mucosal barrier) that is over 300 square meters, or about the size of a tennis court.
• Beneficial bacteria in your gut can help to boost the immune system, prevent allergic inflammation and food allergy, clear up eczema in children and heal the intestines from a variety of ailments.

• However, if you are eating as many sugars as the typical Western diet (about 100 kg per year) then you are feeding the "bad" bacteria, which are more likely to cause disease than promote health, rather than promoting the "good" bacteria that help protect you from disease.
• Exposure to chemicals will also contribute to this disruption in your gut microflora, and over time the imbalance will lead to illness.
• The well-known probiotics are fermented foods. yogurt, prickle, kefir

What are free radicals?
• Free radicals are unstable because they have unpaired electrons in their molecular structure.
• Oxygen, or oxyl, free radicals are especially dangerous.
• These unstable molecules that interact quickly and aggressively with other molecules and destroy them.
![Page 60: Basic Principles of Nutriton](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568145b1550346895db2b0da/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Physiological functions of free radicals
Free radicals are involved in many cellular functions and are a normal part of living. For example;
• The mitochondria oxidizes the glucose and fatty acids and in so doing generates free radicals.
• White blood cells also use free radicals to attack and destroy bacteria, viruses and virus-infected cells.
• The detoxifying actions of the liver also require free radicals.
![Page 61: Basic Principles of Nutriton](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568145b1550346895db2b0da/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Oxidative Stress
• Although free radicals have useful functions in the body under controlled conditions, they are extremely unstable molecules that can damage cells if left uncontrolled.
• Oxidative stress occurs when the available supply of the body’s antioxidants is insufficient to handle and neutralize free radicals of different types.
![Page 62: Basic Principles of Nutriton](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568145b1550346895db2b0da/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
• The result is massive cell damage that can result in cellular mutations, tissue breakdown and immune compromise.
• Free radicals destroy cellular membranes; enzymes and DNA.
• They accelerate aging and contribute to the development of many diseases, including cancer and heart disease.

Toxins and free radicals
• Its important to note here that free radicals are also released in the body from the breaking down or detoxification of various chemical compounds.
![Page 64: Basic Principles of Nutriton](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568145b1550346895db2b0da/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Fats and free radicals• The major sources of dietary free radicals are chemically-
altered fats from commercial vegetable oils, margarine or vegetable shortening and all oils heated to very high temperatures.
• Replace these harmful fats with natural, cold pressed oils such as olive oil (which can be used for cooking) and small amounts of flax oil or walnut oil (which should never be heated).
• Organic butter and tallow are also excellent choices, especially for cooking.
• Both of these naturally saturated fats are rich in certain fatty acids that have proven activity against bacteria, harmful yeasts, fungi and tumor cells.
![Page 65: Basic Principles of Nutriton](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568145b1550346895db2b0da/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Fats and free radicals • Since saturated fats (from animal foods and the tropical oils)
and monounsaturated oils (from olive oil and cold-pressed nut oils) are more chemically stable, they are much less susceptible to oxidation and rancidity than their polyunsaturated cousins, which are mostly found in vegetable oils.
• Trans-fatty acids (TFAs), are produced during hot-processing of polyunsaturated oils.
• As a general rule, then, although the body does require a small amount of naturally occurring polyunsaturated oils in the diet each day, it’s best not to consume too much of them as they are more prone to free radical attack in the body.
• They can destroy the body’s supply of vitamin E, C and other antioxidants cause muscular lesions, brain lesions, and degeneration of blood vessels.

ANTIOXIDANTS
• Fortunately, the body maintains a sophisticated system of chemical and biochemical defenses to control and neutralize free radicals.
• Chemical antioxidants scavenge free radicals, that is, they stabilize the unstable free radicals by giving them the electron they need to “calm down.”
• But they also inhibit free radical formation inside the body
![Page 67: Basic Principles of Nutriton](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568145b1550346895db2b0da/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
• The antioxidants are usually consumed or used up in this process—they sacrifice themselves.
• The main antioxidants are vitamins A, E and C, beta-carotene, glutathione, bioflavonoids, selenium, zinc, CoQ10 (ubiquinone), and various phyto-chemicals from herbs and foods.
• Lipoic acid, repair enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase.
• Melatonin, a hormone produced by the pineal gland, is also a potent antioxidant.
![Page 68: Basic Principles of Nutriton](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568145b1550346895db2b0da/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
• Cholesterol, produced by the liver, is another major antioxidant, which the body uses to repair damaged blood vessels.
• It is probably for this reason that serum cholesterol levels rise as people age.
• With age comes more free radical activity and in response the body produces more cholesterol to help contain and control the damage.
![Page 69: Basic Principles of Nutriton](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568145b1550346895db2b0da/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Glutathione
• Of all the antioxidants, glutathione appears to be pivotal.
• Made up of three amino acids (cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid), glutathione is part of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase and is the major liver antioxidant.
