Nutrition Quiz Bee Reviewer

Nutrients are chemical compounds in food that are used by the body to function properly and maintain
health.

The human body requires seven major types of nutrients

Vitamins are essential organic compounds that the human body cannot synthesize.

Organic and Inorganic Nutrients

Organic nutrients are typically found in living beings: in humans, animals and plants.Organic nutrients
posses carbohydrate-hydrogen (C-H) bonds [3].

Inorganic nutrients are typically found in non living things, but, in smaller amounts, also in living
beings. Inorganic nutrients do not posses carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds [3]

Essential nutrients are necessary for health, but cannot be produced in your body in sufficient amounts
or at all, so you need to obtain them from foods or dietary supplements. 

Nutritional science studies how the body breaks food down (catabolism) and how it repairs and creates
cells and tissue (anabolism). Catabolism and anabolism combined can also be referred to as metabolism

Dietitian vs. nutritionist

A registered dietitian nutritionist (RD or RDN) studies food, nutrition, and dietetics through an
accredited university and approved curriculum, then completes a rigorous internship and passes a
licensure exam to become a registered dietitian.
A nutritionist (without the title of an RD or RDN) studies nutrition via self-study or through formal
education but does not meet the requirements to use the titles RD or RDN. The two terms are often
interchangeable, but they are not identical

Dietetics is the interpretation and communication of the science of nutrition.

Nutrition is the study of nutrients in food, how the body uses nutrients, and the relationship between
diet, health, and disease.

TERMS

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that’s found in all cells of the body.

Your diet is made up of what you eat and drink. 

Dietary supplement is a product you take to supplement your diet.

Electrolytes are minerals in body fluids. They include sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride.

Enzymes are substances that speed up chemical reactions in the body.

Metabolism is the process your body uses to get or make energy from the food you eat.

Types

A nutrient is a source of nourishment, a component of food, for instance, protein, carbohydrate, fat,

vitamin, mineral, fiber, and water.

Macronutrients are nutrients we need in relatively large quantities.

Micronutrients are nutrients we need in relatively small quantities.

Macronutrients can be further split into energy macronutrients (that provide energy), and
macronutrients that do not provide energy.

Energy macronutrients

Carbohydrates are referred to as energy-giving foods. They provide energy in the form of calories that
the body needs to be able to work, and to support other functions.

Carbohydrates are needed in large amounts by the body. Indeed, up to 65% of our energy comes from
carbohydrates. 

Monosaccharides and disaccharides are referred to as simple sugars or simple carbohydrates that our

body can easily utilise.

Proteins are needed in our diets for growth and to improve immune functions. 

There are 20 amino acids - organic compounds found in nature that combine to form proteins

Fats and oils are concentrated sources of energy and so are important nutrients for young children who
need a lot of energy-rich food.

Fatty acid is a major component of fats that is used by the body for energy and tissue
development.Dietary fiber is the kind you eat. You should try to avoid saturated fats and trans
fats.Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. You should try to avoid saturated fats and trans
fats.

Fatty acids are simple compounds (monomers) while triglycerides are complex molecules (polymers).

Saturated fats are usually solid at cool temperatures. Eating too much saturated fat is not good for a
person’s health, as it can cause heart and blood vessel problems.

Unsaturated fats are usually liquid at room temperature. These types of fats are healthy fats. 
Trans fat is a type of fat that is created when liquid oils are changed into solid fats, like shortening and
some margarines. 

Macronutrients that do not provide energy

Water is essential for life. 

Fibre is a mixture of different carbohydrates which are not digested like other nutrients but pass
through the gut nearly unchanged

Micronutrients

Dietary minerals are the other chemical elements our bodies need, other than carbon, hydrogen,
oxygen, and nitrogen

Minerals are the substances that people need to ensure the health and correct working of their soft
tissues, fluids and their skeleton.

MINERALS

Calcium gives bones and teeth rigidity and strength

Iron formation of haemoglobin

Iodine for normal metabolism of cells

Zinc for children to grow and develop normally; for wound healing

Fluorine helps to keep teeth strong

Vitamins

Vitamins are organic compounds that are essential in very small amounts for supporting normal
physiologic function

If too many vitamins build up, it is called hypervitaminosis

Vitamins have three characteristics:

They’re natural components of foods; usually present in very small amounts.

They’re essential for normal physiologic function (e.g., growth, reproduction, etc).

When absent from the diet, they will cause a specific deficiency..

There are two types of vitamins: fat-soluble and water-soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in your
fat cells, consequently requiring fat in order to be absorbed. Water-soluble vitamins are not stored in
your body; therefore, they need to be replenished daily. Your body takes what it needs from the food
you eat and then excretes what is not needed as waste

Diseases Caused By Nutritional Deficiencies:

1. Rickets:

Deficiency of Vitamin D along with calcium and potassium in the body causes rickets. Rickets is
characterized by weak and soft bones, bowed legs and bone deformities. Fish, fortified dairy products,
liver, oil and sunlight are some rich sources of Vitamin D. One may need to resort to dietary
supplements for making up for the lack of the “sunshine vitamin” in the body.

2. Pellagra:
Dementia, diarrhea, dermatitis and death are “the four Ds” that characterize Pellagra, a disease caused
by the lack of Niacin or B3 in the body. The deficiency of niacin is also accompanied by a short supply of
the amino acids, tryptophan and lysine or the excessive presence of lysine in the body. Foods enriched
with niacin are tuna, whole grains, peanuts, mushrooms, chicken etc. These should be consumed
regularly to ward off this disease.

3. Scurvy:

Alarmingly reduced levels of Vitamin C or ascorbic acid in the body can cause scurvy. Scurvy basically
inhibits the production of collagen in the body which is the structural protein that connects the tissues.
Decaying of the skin and gums, abnormal formation of teeth and bones, delay or inability to heal
wounds and bleeding are the effects of scurvy on the body

4. Beri Beri:

Lack of Vitamin B1 or thiamine in the body leads to the disease called beri beri. The most common
symptoms of this illness are altered muscle coordination, nerve degeneration and cardiovascular
problems.

5. Xerophthalmia or Night Blindness:

is characterized by blindness due to the poor growth, dryness and keratinisation of epithelial tissue or
chronic eye infection. The cause of this disease is attributed to the deficiency of Vitamin A in the body. In
worsened situations, night blindness can aggravate to complete loss of vision.

6. Goitre:

Iodine in the body is essential for normal cell metabolism in the body and deficiency of iodine may cause
goitre. Goitre leads to enlarged thyroid glands causing hypothyroidism, poor growth and development
of infants in childhood, cretinism and even mental retardation. This disease is commonly found to occur
in places having iodine deficit soil.

7. Iron Deficiency Anaemia:

Iron deficiency anaemia is a disease caused by the deficiency of iron in the body. It is characterized by a
decrease in the red blood cell count or hemoglobin in the body, resulting in fatigue, weakness, dyspnoea
and paleness of the body. It can be easily treated by changing to a healthy diet and consuming iron
supplements on a regular basis.
8. Kwashiorkor:

Kwashiorkor is a deficiency disease caused by lack of protein and energy in the body. It is characterized
by anorexia, an enlarged liver, irritability and ulcerating dermatoses. These are the one of the nutritional
deficiencies in children, especially from famine-struck areas and places with poor food supply,
Kwashiokor is caused by malnutrition.

9. Depression:

Problems of depression, hair loss, rashes and mental issues are caused by the deficiency of Vitamin B7
or biotin.

10. Osteoporosis:

Deficiency of Vitamin D and calcium in the body can negatively affect the health of the bones and spine.
It leads to unhealthy, soft and brittle bones that are prone to fractures and defects in the spine
structure.
