The Six Nutrients
![Page 3: Nutritionhealth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554b4b16b4c905ff268b53a8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
I. Carbohydrates supply energy reduce refined
carbohydrates (sugars) in diet, while adding more complex (whole grains, vegetables, fruits, etc.)
![Page 4: Nutritionhealth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554b4b16b4c905ff268b53a8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A. Sugar- simple carbohydrate1. Monosaccharide - simple sugar Glucose (dextrose) - found in fruits and
vegetables; other sugars and starches break down into it during digestion
Fructose - fruit sugar
Types of Carbohydrate
![Page 5: Nutritionhealth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554b4b16b4c905ff268b53a8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
2. Disaccharide - double sugar; breaks down into simple sugars during digestion
◦Lactose - milk sugar (found only in milk)◦Sucrose - table sugar
More Sugar Types . . .

B. Starches - Complex carbohydrate; breaks down to simple sugars during digestion
C. Fiber - most complex, found in plants◦fiber or roughage in diet - does not
completely break down ◦does not supply energy
Types of Carbohydrates
![Page 7: Nutritionhealth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554b4b16b4c905ff268b53a8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Most concentrated form of food energySlower to digest, so that you feel full
longerContributes to flavor/tenderness in
meats
II. Fat
![Page 8: Nutritionhealth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554b4b16b4c905ff268b53a8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A. Saturated
◦comes from animal sources◦solids at room temperature◦restrict in diet◦avoid hydrogenated plant
sources (margarine &shortening)
Types of Fat
![Page 9: Nutritionhealth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554b4b16b4c905ff268b53a8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
◦liquid at room temperature◦canola and olive oil - best
to consume
B. Unsaturated Fats
![Page 10: Nutritionhealth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554b4b16b4c905ff268b53a8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. Trans fatty acids
2. Found in hydrogenated products – margarine and shortening
3. Exposing unsaturated oils to heat creates trans fats
4. May raise blood cholesterol - LDL
Trans FatAvoid:
![Page 11: Nutritionhealth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554b4b16b4c905ff268b53a8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
waxy, fat-like substance found in most body tissue (particularly the brain, nervous system, and blood)
during digestion, cholesterol helps to break down fats so they can be absorbed through the wall of the small intestine
Cholesterol- An alcohol, not a fat
Cholesterol
![Page 12: Nutritionhealth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554b4b16b4c905ff268b53a8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
foods that are high in saturated fat are also frequently high in cholesterol
the body obtains a third of its cholesterol from food and makes the rest,
a high level of cholesterol, over 200 mg, is associated with heart disease
Cholesterol

• The bloodstream transports cholesterol throughout the body by lipoproteins.
• LDL - low density lipoproteins (bad)
• HDL - high density lipoproteins (good)

build and repair body tissue antibodies made of protein
III. Protein
![Page 15: Nutritionhealth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554b4b16b4c905ff268b53a8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Composed of amino acids Essential - cannot be manufactured by the
body, so must be eaten as food, and must be available at the same time
Non-essential (body manufactures these, so they don't have to be eaten)
Protein
![Page 16: Nutritionhealth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554b4b16b4c905ff268b53a8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

amino acids
Protein
![Page 17: Nutritionhealth](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554b4b16b4c905ff268b53a8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
B. Incomplete◦ plant sources◦contain only some of the essential amino acids
◦vegans rely on incomplete proteins they get from peanut butter, legumes, nuts, soybeans, tofu, etc.
Protein

regulate body processes (approximately 20 known at present)
high biological activity, a little goes a long way
must be supplied by diet (or supplement)
IV. Vitamins

Oxidation - as a part of their normal function, cells make toxic molecules called free radicals (missing an electron)◦ Contributes to aging and disease◦ Cancer, cataracts, heart disease
Vitamins – C, E, and beta carotene Get the RDA of these or take a supplement if you rarely eat
deeply colored vegetables
Antioxidants

• Deficiency – Dehydration (increases heart rate and body temperature)
• Better than sports drinks, unless the heat is extreme or you are exercising continuously for over 1 ½ hours (sports drinks have too much sugar and salt)
Water
