FOOD AND NUTRITION - material consisting of essential nutrients that are used in the body of an
organism to sustain growth, repair, and vital processes and to furnish energy.
NUTRITION - the processes by which a human being takes in and utilizes food substances. The amount
and kind of food you eat affects your health and well-being.
NUTRIENTS - it is simply defined as a basic substance of the body that is used for important function
varieties. In simple terms it is anything that you eat, where your body can supply more energy for
performing your daily Physical activities.
PHYSICAL ACITIVITIES - is a movement that requires your muscle to use more energy. When you are
engaging in activities your body uses nutrients to have a good performance and helps you to repair
tissue damage during activity.
CARBOHYDRATES - are the second important nutrient and water is the first
are one of the three energy-yielding nutrients Because they provide your body with
calories, which can be converted to Energy. You also get calories from proteins and
fats, making them the other Two energy-yielding nutrients, but when you are
physically active, carbs will Be your best energy source.
SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATES – are broken down quickly by the body that converts into energy. It is found
naturally in table sugar and syrups.
COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES – these are the carbohydrates that it takes long to digest but the most
stable source of energy. Examples of this are bread and pasta.
FATS - are important dietary components, it provides energy and enhances the flavor of food, excess
intake of fats causes cardiovascular diseases and cholesterol in the blood.
PROTEINS - it is important for numerous body functions. The primary role of protein is to serve as the
structural units to build and repair body tissues. It supports nutrients and maintains the body salts and
fluid balance. It also plays an important role in blood clotting.
VITAMINS - are organic compounds needed in small quantities by the body to perform specific functions
of growth and development to the work of nerves and muscles. It plays a significant role in increasing
energy from the food we eat.
MINERALS - are those elements in food that our bodies need to develop and function normally. Those
essential for health include calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chloride, magnesium, iron, zinc,
iodine, chromium, copper, fluoride, molybdenum, manganese, and selenium. Hence, minerals play
significant roles in regulating key body functions such conducting nerve impulses, muscular
construction, enzyme functions and maintenance of water balance.
WATER - is involved in all vital processes in the body. It is considered to be the nutrients greatest
concern to physically active individuals. A water loss of 15% can be fatal. Water is important for
temperature control of the body, absorption, and digestion of foods, formation of blood and elimination
of wastes.
MESSAGES
Eat a variety of healthy foods that add nutrients that our body needs.
Breastfeed infants exclusively from birth up to 6 months, then give appropriate
complementary foods while continuing breastfeeding for 2 years and beyond for
optimum growth and development.
Practice a balanced diet with proper exercise.
Eat foods that are rich in protein for growth and repair of body tissues.
Consume calcium rich foods for healthy bones and teeth.
Drink potable water or any healthy drinkable liquids to prevent water-borne
diseases. Avoid drinking carbonated drinks that can affect your urinary system.
Using iodized salt can prevent having iodine deficiency like goiter.
Limit the intakes of salty or any fatty acidic foods, this will cause cardiovascular
disease.
Be physically active by doing both outdoor and indoor activities. Hence, this will
help you to manage stress and live a healthy lifestyle.
EATING HABITS: TRENDS AND ISSUE
KINESIOLOGY OF HUMAN
KINESIOLOGY – in physical education, it is also known as orthopedics, athletic training, and physical
therapy and medicine. Hence, it is the study of human body movements to provide information from
the point of view of physical science.
ANATOMICAL – It is the body structure of living things. Thus, it is used to describe the actions of muscles
upon the skeleton.
BASIC ANATOMICAL MOVEMENTS
FLEXION AND EXTENSION
FLEXION – Is the bending of an arm or leg. Technically, it's a physical position that decreases the
angle between the bones of the limb at a joint. It occurs when muscles contract and move your bones
and joints into a bent position. Example of this is when you are in a sitting position.
EXTENSION – describes as straightening movement that increases the angle between body parts. For
example, when standing up, the knees are extended
ADDUCTION – is the opposite of abduction. Thus, it is the movement of the body toward the body’s
midline. Example, if a person has their arms straight out at the shoulders and brings them down to their
sides
CIRCUMDUCTION – is the movement of a body region in a circular manner. It involves the sequential
combination of flexion, adduction, extension, and abduction at a joint.
ROTATION
ROTATION – it is a ring-shape or a circular motion of a whole or some parts of the body around the
center or point of rotation.
SUPINATION – A movement of the forearm from the prone position to supine position or facing upward
position of your palm.
PRONATION – A motion that moves the forearm from the supine position to the palm backward
position.
SUPINE – Whole or some parts of your body lying down facing upward.
PRONE – Whole or some parts of your body lying down facing downward.
PLANTAR FLEXION – likewise is a movement of the ankle joint lifting the heel of the foot from the
ground and pointing the toes downward.
RETRACTION – the scapula is being pulled back posteriorly towards the vertebral column.
EXCURSION
EXCURSION – the movement of the mandible laterally.
A. LATERAL EXCURSION – movement of the mandible away from the midline towards right or left
side.
B. MEDIAL EXCURSION – movement where in the mandible is being returned to its resting
position.
REPOSITION – it is the returning of the thumb to its anatomical position next to the index finger.
