Lets now start the lesson. Happy learning!
Lesson 1: THE NUTRITION ABC You are now on the first lesson of this module. It will teach you the basic terms and concepts on nutrition. Youll also learn about malnutrition and its common forms. Are you ready?
Objectives: At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:
define terms on basic nutrition; describe the signs of good nutrition; and classify the signs of malnutrition.
Lets have a pre-test exercise to prepare you for todays session. Good luck!
Pre-test I. True or False, Whats Your Choice On the space provided, write T if the statement is true and F if its false.
____1. Night blindness or matang manok can not be cured. ____2. Bloated/ moon-like face is a sign of lack of protein. ____3. Food is a material that nourishes the body when eaten. ____4. Anemia is a condition resulting from low blood pressure. ____5. All people need same kind of foods in different amounts throughout life.
II. You Complete Me Fill in the spaces with letters to complete the words being described.
1. _ _ I _ _ R 2. S _ _ N _
- condition resulting from lack of iodine. - characteristic of healthy peoples hair
3. B _ L _ _ C _ D - diet recommended to attain and maintain good nutrition. 4. P _ _ E _ _ S _ - sign of iron deficiency anemia. 5. B _ _ _ _ T - characteristic of healthy peoples eyes
Look at page 15 to see if you got the correct answers! Did you get them correctly? Wow! Youre fantastic! Dont worry if you missed some. Youll be an expert on this soon
You eat foods daily for survival. You also hear the terms nutrition and balanced diet often. However, do you really know what they are?
Food is any substance that when taken nourishes the body by giving energy, building and repairing tissues and regulating body processes.
Nutrition refers to the science of food, its nutrients and effects to the body. A balanced diet is necessary to meet the bodys need. No single food can give all the nutrients for the body. Hence, one must eat a variety of food everyday.

the lesson, lets do this
Learning Activity 1. Fix my Pic!

DOST- PINOY, 2010: A Training Manual for Nutrition and Health Workers 5
Note: Ask the mothers to form three groups. Let them put the puzzle pieces together to form the picture assigned to their group. Picture 1: Vitamin A-deficient child (insert picture) Picture 2: Iodine-deficient person (insert picture) Picture 3: Protein-deficient child (insert picture) Tell them to answer the following questions in a Manila paper: 1. What do you see in the picture you have formed? 2. What is the nutrition-related problem being depicted in the picture? 3. Are there significant characteristics in the picture? Cite them. Choose a groups representative to explain their outputs.
Lets keep going with the nutrition ABC
Assess!
Its important for mothers like you to assess the growth and development of your child. Here are some signs that you should look for in your kid.
Signs of Good Nutrition
shiny, silky hair clear, woundless skin clear, bright eyes pink, firm gums white, well-developed teeth good bowel movement erect posture alert and lively
Beware!
Improper growth of your child may be due to malnutrition.
Malnutrition is a condition caused by lack, excess or imbalance in one or more nutrients that the body needs.
(insert pictures) The most common types of malnutrition are Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM), Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD), Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) and Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD).
Characterize!
Here are the most usual forms of malnutrition and their characteristics.
1. Protein-Energy Malnutrition (PEM) Its a condition characterized by lack of protein and energy. It may be due to poor intake of foods rich in protein and energy, improper feeding practices and occurrence of diseases. General signs and symptoms: muscle wasting being underweight poor growth edema (bloated feature of a body part like face)
Effects: decreased resistance against disease and infection reduced growth and development (insert picture)
Learning Activity 1. The PEM Game
Note: Tell the mothers that in order to get to know the two forms of PEM, theyll do an exercise. It will also allow them to have a facial exercise before having loads of information. Ask them to form a straight line as they are going to play hep-hep, hooray with slight variation. Instruct them that when you say Kwashiorkor, they will imitate a bloated/ moon face while when you say Marasmus, they will DOST- PINOY, 2010:suck-in their inner cheeks to imitate an old mans face. A Training Manual for Nutrition and Health Workers Say the words faster and faster to test their awareness. Let the mothers have fun!
Based on the activity, you now have an idea on the signs of Kwashiorkor and Marasmus. Lets tackle them now!
There are two forms of PEM: 1. Kwashiorkor a condition due to lack of protein in foods eaten by the child. Its usually seen in children from 1-6 years old. Characteristics: bloated legs, arms, and face (moon face) low weight weak muscles poor appetite pale, thin, peeling skin enlarged liver
apathetic
(insert picture of Kwashiorkor)
2. Marasmus a condition caused by lack of intake of energy-rich foods. It commonly affects children 6 months to 4 years old. Characteristics: wasted/ thin body very low weight old mans face obvious hunger enlarged belly irritable
(insert picture of Marasmus)
*** Infants and preschoolers are at risk of having PEM.
Lets now discuss about the other nutrient deficiencies such as VAD, IDA and IDD.
10
2. Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD) Its a condition resulting from deficiency in Vitamin A due to poor consumption, decreased fat intake and illness.
Clinical symptom of Vitamin A deficiency is night blindness. -difficulty seeing in dim light or during the night -may be treated in 1-2 days by using Vitamin A capsule
Vitamin A deficiency may result to Bitots spot, keratomalacia or corneal ulceration
Bitot's spot
Keratomalacia
Corneal ulceration
*** Conditions that can result to increased risk for VAD include: recurrent diarrhea infection like measles illness like severe pneumonia
11
3. Iron deficiency Anemia Its a condition characterized by lack of iron due to poor intake of iron-rich foods, low absorption, lack of Vitamin C and parasite infection.
Signs and symptoms: paleness of skin, conjunctiva, nail beds and inside the lips tiredness difficulty breathing Effects: weakness and paleness insomnia lack of appetite lack of concentration (insert picture of IDA)
*** Vitamin C is needed in the absorption of iron. On the other hand, tea, coffee and whole grain cereal reduce the absorption of iron.
4. Iodine Deficiency Disorders
12
Its a condition characterized by lack of iodine caused by poor intake of iodine-rich foods. It may also be caused by the increased requirement of iodine during adolescence, pregnancy and lactation.
Signs and symptoms: deafness difficulty looking in bright light weakness, sleepiness, cold feeling constipation, hoarse cry, thick dry skin and slow mental development
Effects:
growth and mental retardation for infants goiter slow growth, slowness and fatigue miscarriage and still birth
*** Consumption of goitrogens (substance found in foods as cassava, cauliflower and cabbage) can decrease iodine absorption. People living in mountainous areas are at risk of having IDD.

34
You eat foods everyday for survival and development. The substance in food which helps your body provide energy for your daily activities and maintain your good health is known as nutrient. It can be classified as macronutrient or micronutrient.
Before we discuss the macronutrients, lets play a game.
35
Learning Activity 1. Taboo Game
Note: Ask the mothers to form 2 groups and choose a representative. Instruct the representative to choose a strip of paper and describe to his/her teammates what is written there. S/he should be careful not to say the taboo (words that are not allowed to be told). Give each group 30 seconds to guess the nutrient being described. Otherwise, the other group can steal the chance. Explain that the group first group to reach 3 points wins the game. Vitamin A Vitamin C Protein Carbohydrate Iron (Taboo: squash, good eyesight) (Taboo: calamansi, sour) (Taboo: meat, muscles) (Taboo: rice, sugar) (Taboo: healthy blood)
Macronutrients Macronutrients are nutrients needed in big amounts such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
1. Carbohydrates
36
provide energy to the body
Sources: rice, and rice products ( e.g. suman, biko, palitaw, kutsinta) corn and corn products (e.g. binatog, boiled corn, pop corn) root crops and tubers (e.g. kamote cue, ube halaya, cassava) bread and bakery goods (e.g. crackers, muffins, pretzels) flour and noodles table sugar, candies and jellies 2. Proteins build and repair body tissues build resistance against infections aid in the production of body fluids and secretions keep water balance Sources: Animal meat and meat products (e.g. liver, intestine, heart) fish and shellfish (e.g. tahong, tulya, kuhol, shrimps) chicken and eggs milk and milk products (e.g. cheese, yoghurt) Plant monggo and dried beans 3. Fats give the body a concentrated source of energy
support the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins(A, D, E, K) enhance the taste of food Sources: Animal lard and fats from meat butter and cream Plant margarine coconut and vegetable oils avocado
Lets now move on to the micronutrient!
Micronutrients Micronutrients are nutrients that are needed by the body in smaller amounts. These are the vitamins and minerals.
38
A. Vitamins promote good health and body development may be classified as fat-soluble or water-soluble
1. Fat-soluble vitamins need to be dissolved in fat before being absorbed in the blood include vitamins A, D, E, and K
Vitamin A keeps eyes healthy sustains glowing skin and hair maintains healthy lining of mouth, nose and throat builds immunity against infections like measles aids in the proper growth of children
Sources: Animal liver and fish liver oil butter and cream milk whole milk and eggyolk Plant dark green leafy vegetables yellow fruits
Vitamin D helps in the formation of strong bones and teeth. Vitamin E keeps the nerve, muscle and reproductive system healthy. Vitamin K allows normal blood clotting.
2. Water-soluble vitamins are readily dissolved in water and absorbed in the body
include Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, Folic acid and Vitamin C
Folic Acid makes DNA which manages the function of the cell and tissue development helps renew the red blood cells needed by pregnant mothers to avoid neural tube defects (skull and spine malformations) in their infants Sources: dark green leafy vegetables dried beans and peas
Vitamin C promotes faster wound healing keeps the gums and teeth in good condition helps in iron and calcium absorption prevents occurrence of scurvy boosts immune system against sickness and infections Sources: guava, strawberry, green mango, kasuy, ripe papaya and citrus fruits dark green leafy vegetables
Do you find the lesson interesting? Then, lets go through minerals, water and finally, dietary fiber.
B. Minerals provide components of bones, teeth and soft tissue examples of nutritionally essential minerals are calcium, phosphorus, iron and iodine
Iron
keeps blood healthy increases work productivity constructs new tissues helps avoid anemia
Sources: Animal liver, meat, meat products oyster, fish and shellfish chicken blood
Plant legumes (monggo) banana flower (dried) kintsay kasubha green leafy vegetable (like saluyot)
41
Iodine
aids in brain development keeps normal functioning of the thyroid gland assists in protein production and tissue development prevents goiter in adults and mental retardation in children
Sources: iodized salt Animal fish and shellfish (e.g. maya-maya, bisugo, tamban, shrimps, crabs, tulya, tahong)
Plant dried and fresh seaweeds (e.g. lato, kulot, balbalulang, gamet, pokpoklo)
Learning Activity 2. Bend A Little
42
Note: Ask the mothers to stretch a bit by doing the following physical exercise: When you say water, let the mothers put their hands on their waist and bend forward. When you say fiber, let the mothers put their hands on their waist and bend sideward (right to left).
Tell them to be ready to sway their hips quickly because you will say the words fast.
Lets continue with the lesson. Do you know why water is essential to human survival? Water
serves as solvent which aid in the digestion of food takes nutrients to the body tissues eliminates wastes from the body maintains normal body temperature and acid-base balance
Sources: fluids consumed water already present in food water produced by the processing of foods in the body (insert picture)
Dietary Fiber eases the bowel movement helps reduce blood cholesterol gives bulk in a meal and facilitate proper functioning of the intestines Sources:
whole grain cereals dark green leafy and yellow vegetables fruits (insert picture) Great! Surely youll have fun answering the post test since you are done with the lesson. I know it would be easier for you this time. Good luck!
Post Test: I. Yes, or No? Show! Write YES in the space provided before each number if the statement is true. If the sentence is false, write NO and correct the underlined phrase. ________1. ________2. ________3. ________4. ________5. ________6. ________7. ________8. ________9. Fats enhance the taste of food. Vitamin D helps in iron absorption. Iodine is needed in making new tissues. Dietary fibers help reduce blood cholesterol. Whole grain cereals are rich in dietary fiber. Water carries waste materials into the tissues. Vitamin E is needed for a healthy reproductive system. Micronutrients are required in the body in small quantity. The nutrient needed by the body in big quantity is known as meganutrient. _______10. In order to avoid neural tube defect in infants, pregnant mothers
44
need increased folic acid in their diet.
Procedures:
1. Administration of Pre-test 2. Conduct of Lecture-discussion (Nutrient) Follow the topic sequence shown in the module. Do the activities. -Activity 1: Taboo game -Activity 2: Bend a Little (ice breaker) Clarify questions regarding the topic. 3. Administration of post test
Answers to Pre- and Post-Tests: PRE-TEST: Eenie mini minie mo! 1. B

2. A 3. D 4. A 5. C 6. B 7. B 8. C 9. A 10. D POST TEST: Yes or no? Show! 1. YES 2. NO- Vitamin C 3. NO- iron 4. YES 5. YES 6. NO- Nutrients 7. YES 8. YES 9. NO- Macronutrient 10. YES
Lets Sum It Up
Nutrients are substances in food that provide energy and maintain good health.
Carbohydrates, proteins and fats are macronutrients because they are needed by the body in big amounts.
Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients because they are needed by the body in small amounts.
Fat helps in the absorption of Vitamin A. Vitamin C aids in the absorption of Iron. Water and fiber help in body processes.
