Physiology of Nutrition
Nutrition is the process by which the body metabolizes and utilizes the nutrients from food.
Nutrients are digested by the GI system and then absorbed by the blood or lymphatic system, and transported to the body’s cells.

Physiology of Nutrition
Digestion is the process by which ingested foods are broken down in the GI tract to smaller segments in preparation for absorption.
The end products of digestion are monosaccharides (simple sugars), amino acids, glycerol, fatty acid chains, vitamins, minerals, and water.

Physiology of Nutrition
Absorption : is the process by which the end products of digestion pass through the epithelial membranes in the small and large intestines into the blood or lymph systems.

Physiology of Nutrition
Metabolism is the aggregate of all chemical reactions and processes in every body cell, such as growth, generation of energy, elimination of wastes, and other bodily functions as they relate to the distribution of nutrients in the blood after digestion.
Metabolic rate refers to the rate of heat liberation during chemical reactions.

Metabolism
Energy• A calorie is the unit of measurement used to
express the quantity of energy released during metabolism.
• Energy is expressed in terms of kilocalories.• Basal metabolic rate (BMR) represents the
energy needed to maintain essential physiological functions.
![Page 7: Fundamentals of Nursing Nutrition. Physiology of Nutrition Nutrition is the process by which the body metabolizes and utilizes the nutrients from food.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649eb65503460f94bbfe71/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Metabolism
Excretion• Digestive and metabolic waste products are
excreted through the intestines and rectum.• Other excretory organs are the kidneys,
sweat glands, skin, and lungs.

Nutrients
Water• Accounts for 60% to 70% of an adult’s total
body weight and 77% of an infant’s weight.• Water and electrolytes are substances that
must be acquired from the diet.• Body water requirements are met through
consumption of liquids and foods and the oxidation of food.

Nutrients
The end products of protein digestion are amino acids which categorized to:
Nonessential amino acids: can be synthesized in the body.
Essential amino acids must be ingested in the diet because they cannot be synthesized in the body.
![Page 15: Fundamentals of Nursing Nutrition. Physiology of Nutrition Nutrition is the process by which the body metabolizes and utilizes the nutrients from food.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649eb65503460f94bbfe71/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Nutrients
Lipids (fats) • Organic compounds are the only essential
nutrients that cannot mix with water and therefore, must be emulsified by molecules to be absorbed.
• Fats are lipids that are solid at room temp.• Oils are lipids that are liquid at room temp.
![Page 16: Fundamentals of Nursing Nutrition. Physiology of Nutrition Nutrition is the process by which the body metabolizes and utilizes the nutrients from food.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649eb65503460f94bbfe71/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Nutrients
Most Important Lipids• Triglycerides are composed of three fatty
acid cells attached to a glycerol molecule.• Phospholipids are composed of one or more
fatty acid molecules and one phosphoric acid radical; they usually contain a nitrogenous base.
• Cholesterol is produced by the body and is considered a fat; it is also found in whole milk and egg yolk.

Promoting Proper Nutrition
Societal Concerns• One-third of the U.S. population is
considered overweight.• Obesity is becoming an epidemic.• Undernutrition is a specific problem for the
elderly and for people with eating disorders.

Weight Management
Overweight is an energy imbalance in which more food is consumed than needed.
An underweight person expends more calories than are consumed.
