balance intake of high energy food high fat food with low fat, high dietary fiber foods
Moderation in Diet
select foods with limited amounts of sugar salt and fat
Adequacy in Diet
select foods to provide essential nutrients, fiber, and energy to maintain health and body weight
Empty Caloric Food
high in calories- low in nutrients
Major organs of GI 
mouth stomach small intestine large intestine liver, gallbladder and pancreas
liver
produces bile
bile
aids in fat digestion and absorption
pancreas
secretes sodium bicarbonate and protein digestion enzymes
gallbladder
storage of bile
Large intestine
absorption of sodium potassium and water 72hr
small intestine
digestion and absorption. using enzymes 3-10hr
stomach
adds acid, enzymes and fluid dissolves food 2-3 hr
Actions of GI
1. secretion of substances out of the body 2. release of hormones for regulation (ex insulin) 3. absorption of nutrients 4. fermentation producing 1. short chain fatty acids 2. gases 3. vitamins 5. excretion of waste products
Peristalsis
process by which digested material moves through the GIT controlled by sphincters
segmentation
mixing of food with enzymes in small intestine
enzymatic reactions in body are dependent on
pH substrate coenzymes (vitamins)
how is digestion regulated?
by the nervous system and by hormones
Gastrin       Hormone
1. comes from the stomach 2. is stimulated by spices, alcohol, food, proteins 3. it stimulates stomach acids and enzymes
Cholecystokinin (CCK)             Hormone
1. comes from small intestine 2. is stimulated by fat and protein 3. it stimulates pancreas and liver secretions
Secretin             Hormone
1. comes from the small intestine 2. is stimulated by acid in SI 3. it neutralizes acid with bicarbonate
Most absorption occurs in....
small intestine
what is absorbed in large intestine?
Na, K, H2O
what is absorbed in the mouth?
water drugs small amts of alcohol
Passive Transport
fructose fatty acids between cells across membrane- with and w.o protein carriers.
Active Transport
glucose amino acid some vitamins requires protein carriers across membrane
Ulcer
caused by H Pylori it degrades protective layer and erosions can happen in stomach and duodenum
Heartburn
back-flow of stomach acid into esophagus treatment: medication, small meals
Gallstones
Blockage of bile duct from gallbladder fat malabsorption treatment: low fat diet
Lactose Intolerance
lack of enzyme lactose bloating and diarrhea
what are the 3 types of carbohydrates?
1. monosaccharides 2. disaccharides 3. polysaccharides
Monosaccharides
1. glucose 1. main sugar used by human body 2. basic unit of starch and cellulose 3. important especially for brain and nervous system 2. fructose 1. found in fruit and honey 3. galactose 4. found in milk and dairy products
Disaccharides
1. sucrose 1. glucose+fructose 2. fruit, plants, sugar 2. maltose 1. glucose+glucose 2. found in SI 3. lactose 1. glucose+galactose 2. milk products
Polysaccharides
long carbohydrate chains 'complex carb' 1. starch - amylose 2. glycogen- stored from glucose 3. dietary fiber - cellulose, pectin
amylase
breaks down starch products
Disaccharidases
1. sucrase - sucrose digestion 2. maltase- maltose digestion 3. lactase- lactose digestion
Facilitated diffusion
Passive transport ex: fructose
active transport
glucose galactose
carb absorption 
occurs only in small intestine
Glucose
1. primary carb used as energy (ATP) 2. oxygen is needed to complete metabolism of ATP 3. is available from: 1. blood 2. glycogen
Glycogen
1. potential to store excess glucose 2. stored in liver and muscles
breaking down fatty acids give you....
ketones
Low carb consumption leads to...
1. low blood glucose levels 2. glycogen is used to maintain level 3. protein catabolism is increased 4. fat catabolism is increased
Blood glucose is regulated by hormones....
1. insulin-lowers blood sugar levels 1. causes 1. increase glucose uptake by cells 2. synthesis of glycogen 2. glucagon-increases blood sugar levels 1. causes 1. breakdown of glycogen 2. glycogen -> glucose 3. requires vitamin B
Epinephrine
1. from adrenal gland 2. causes breakdown of glycogen 3. blood glucose increases 4. causes fat breakdown for metabolism
Type 1 Diabetes
1. pancreas does not secrete insulin 2. treatment: 1. use insulin 2. increase complex carb intake 3. balance carb and fat intake
Type 2 Diabetes
1. cells are resistant to insulin 2. treatment: 1. reduce weight 2. exercise 3. reduce energy intake 4. consistent meal times 5. increase intake of complex carbs 6. decrease intake of fat and simple carbs
what happens to blood sugar levels when fasting?
1. glucagon is released 2. glycogen is used to maintain blood glucose levels
what happens to blood sugar levels when eating?
1. glucose level rises 2. insulin is released 3. glycogen is made 4. glucose is taken into cells
early starvation
1 day protein breakdown to amino acids a.a. used to make glucose glucose helps regulate
prolonged starvation
protein used to maintain levels of glucose fatty acids used for energy ketones produced. an ex is acetone
Aspartame
200 times sweeter than sucrose 4 kcal/g dipeptide
Saccharin
500 times sweeter than sucrose 0kcal/g
sugar alcohols
as sweet as sucrose  2-4 kcal/g ex sorbitol
sucralose (splenda)
for cooking safe
Insoluble fiber
increase fecal bulk decrease fecal transit time found in grains and seeds
Soluble Fiber
fuller for longer slows nutrient absorption control blood glucose lower blood cholesterol provides energy for the colon food sources: oat bran, fruits, veggies, beans....
Low Carb Diet
similar to fasting low in cal lose water weight and muscle mass side effects: constipation, fatigue, bone loss, bad breath
Triglycerides
fats and oils main component of cell membrane 3 fatty acids
what are the functions of triglycerides (6)?
1. provide energy - converted to ATP 2. internal organ protection 3. building blocks for membrane 4. transport 5. satiety 6. texture, flavor in food
Phospholipids
glycerol backbone and 2 fatty acids
What are the functions of Phospholipids?
1. component of cell membrane 2. regulation of immune cardio and muscular systems 3. emulsifier - keeps lipids soluble in water
Trans Fat
processed foods produced with hydrogenation- decrease in unsaturation
Monounsaturated fatty acids
olive oil canola peanut oil, nuts one double bond
Polyunsaturated fat
vegetable oil cornflower oil  sunflower oil  safflower oil
Omega 6 
1. linoleic 1. corn oil 2. sunflower oil 3. soy bean oil 2. arachidonic acid
Omega 3
1. alpha linoic acid 1. soybean 2. flax seed 2. eicosapentaenoic acid 1. fish oil
Lipase
breaks down Trygliceride into monoglyceride and fatty acids
Assessmentof Nutritional Status
a. dietary assessment b. anthropometrics (measurements of height weight length) c. Biochemical indices (tests like urine sample, cholesterol level) d. clinical examination (medical history, physical exam)
2010 dietary guidelines key concepts
msintain calorie balance over time to achieve and sustain healthy weight, focus on consuming nutrient dense foods and beverages
