DEFINITION OF TERMS

NUTRITION
- is a science that deals with the study of
foods, nutrients and other substances
there in ,their action , interaction and
balance in relation to health and
disease.
-of the processes by which an organism
ingest, digest , absorbs , transports,
utilizes and excretes waste materials
FOODS
-any substance organic or inorganic when
ingested or eaten nourishes the body by;
building and repairing tissues ,
supplying heat and energy
and regulating bodily processes.

-next important to oxygen

FUNCTIONAL FOODS
- foods that may provide health benefits
beyond their nutrient contributions.
It includes;
whole foods
fortified foods
modified foods
foods that are energy dense
foods that are nutrient dense
ENERGY DENSITY FOODS
- a measure of the energy provides ,relative to the amount of foods .
1 gram carbohydrates = 4 kcal
1 gram protein = 4 kcal
1 gram fats = 9 kcal

½ CUP of pure low fat milk has 12 g CHO, 8g CHON, 5g FATS

is = 125 kcalories

NUTRIENT DENSITY FOODS

-a measure of nutrient provides relative to the amount of foods .
1/2 cup of malunngay
= 231 mg of vitamin C
= .5 grams of CHON
= 1.5 grams of CHO
= 2.5 grams of ca
= 3mg of iron
EMPTY OR JUNK FOODS
-contain less or no energy and nutrient content ,
- more on added sugar, trans-fats ,
more in sodium , msg and preservatives.
NUTRIENTS
- intangible property of nutrition
- chemical component of foods needed by
the body for one or more of these
3 functions ;
1. Provide energy
2. Build and repair tissues
3. Regulate life processes
NUTRIENTS CLASSIFICATIONS:
A. According to functions
1. Energy Giving Nutrients are the fuel nutrients;
( Energy dense nutrients )
1. carbohydrates 2. proteins 3. fats
Non-caloric nutrients are: ( Nutrient density )
1. water 2.minerals 3.vitamins
2. Body Building Nutrients are the structural nutrients.
# water 2/3 of body weight
# proteins 1/5 or 20% of body weight
3. Body Regulating Nutrients
- include the 6 groups of nutrients.
They maintain homeostasis of body fluid
and expedite metabolic process.

*HOMEOSTASIS
- physiologic regulatory process ,
whereby functions such as blood pressure ,
body temperature and electrolytes are
maintained with in a narrow range of
normal.
B. According to chemical nature
# Organic - Carbohydrates , Proteins ,
Fats and Vitamins
# Inorganic - Minerals and Water
C. According to essentiality
# Physiologically essential or the
dispensable nutrients.
# Dietary essential or the indispensable
nutrients
D. According to concentration
# Macronutrients - C , P, F - measure in grams
# Micronutrients - Vitamins and Minerals
- measure in milligrams

*To be considered macro mineral

the concentration of micronutrient
in the body should be above 0.005%
of body weight.
WELLNESS
- maximum well-being , the top range of
health state ; the goal of the person
strives toward realizing his or her full
potential physically , mentally
emotionally , spiritually ,and socially.
MALNUTRITION
- condition of the body resulting from
lack of one or more essential nutrients
or it maybe due to an excessive nutrient
supply to the point of creating toxic
or harmful effects.
CLASSIFICATIONS:
A. FORMS OF MALNUTRITION
1. Under nutrition 2. Over nutrition
3. Specific deficiency 4. Imbalance

B. TYPES OF MALNUTRITION
1.Chronic
2.Acute
NUTRITIONAL STATUS OR NUTRITURE
- is the condition of the body resulting
from the utilization of essential nutrients.
A. CLASSIFIED INTO :
# good # fair # poor
OPTIMUM OR GOOD NUTRITION
- the body has adequate supply of
essential nutrients that are efficiently
utilized such that growth and good health
are maintained at the highest possible
level.
 GUIDELINES FOR BETTER NUTRITION
AND WELLNESS

1. PROPER NUTRITION
- is eating the right kind ,
the right amount of food ,
eating at the right time
and in most sanitary manner.
2. THE 3 BASIC FOOD GROUPS
1. Body Energy Giving Foods
- are cereals , root crops, oils and waxes
2. Body Building Foods
- meats ( pork ,beef , carabeef )
- poultry (chicken, ducks , turkey , birds ,eggs )
- fish and shellfish ( fresh and salty sources )
- legumes , beans and nuts substitute
- milk and milk products
3. Body Regulating Foods are fruits and vegetables
3. FOODS AND DIETARY GUIDELINES
