4. In this lesson, you will learn to
identify the six major classes of nutrients.
explain specific ways your body uses nutrients.

5. Organizing Information
Make a diagram similar to the one on below. Include a box for each nutrient and foods that are sources of that nutrient.
Carbohydrates
Protein
Food Sources

6. Nutrients and Nutrition
Carbohydrates
Vitamins
Six Groups of Nutrients
Proteins
Minerals
Fats
Water

7. There are two kinds of carbohydrates: simple and complex.
carbohydrates Sugars and starches that occur naturally in foods, mainly in plants

8. Complex carbohydrates
All carbohydrates are made of sugar molecules.
Simple carbohydrates
Complex carbohydrates
Molecules remain separate
Molecules form long chains. Also knows as starches.
Fruits, vegetables, milk, milk products
Grains, dried beans, and starchy vegetables such as potatoes
Half to two-thirds of your daily energy should come from carbohydrates.

9. Fiber
Fiber is a special type of complex carbohydrate found in raw fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
fiber The parts of fruit, vegetables, grains, and beans that your body cannot digest
As fiber passes through the digestive system, it pushes other food particles along.
Eating high-fiber foods can help reduce your risk of certain types of cancer and heart disease.

10. Proteins are made up of chemical building blocks called amino acids.
proteins Nutrients your body uses to build, repair, and maintain cells and tissues
Anyone who has had a stiff muscle get better after a few days rest has experienced proteins at work.
Proteins also play an important role in fighting disease because parts of your immune system are made of proteins.

11. Proteins Proteins Complete Proteins Plant Proteins
Contain all nine of the essential amino acids
Lack one or more of the nine essential amino acids
Beef, pork, veal, fish, poultry, eggs, most dairy products
Nuts peas, and dried beans

12. Fats
Eating too many foods containing saturated fats can increase your risk of heart disease.
saturated fats Fats that are solid at room temperature
Fats promote healthy skin and normal cell growth.
Fats carry vitamins A, D, E, and K to wherever they are needed in your body.

13. Most of the fats in your diet should be unsaturated fats.
unsaturated fats Fats that remain liquid at room temperature

14. Fats Fats Saturated Fats Unsaturated Fats Butter, cheese, fatty meats
Plant foods such as olive oil, nuts and avocados

15. LDL (low-density lipoprotein) HDL (high-density lipoprotein)
Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in the blood.
LDL (low-density lipoprotein)
HDL (high-density lipoprotein)
Collects on the walls of arteries and forms plaque
Removes LDL from the arteries
Plaque is a thick, hard substance.
If too much plaque builds up it can block the arteries and cause heart attacks and strokes.
Known as “bad cholesterol”
Known as “good cholesterol”
Eating too much saturated fat can increase the body’s level of cholesterol.

16. Vitamins and minerals are essential to your body’s health.
vitamins Substances that help your body fight infections and use other nutrients, among other jobs

minerals Elements that help form healthy bones and teeth, and regulate certain body processes

17. Vitamins and Minerals Vitamins Water-Soluble Fat-Soluble
Not stored in the body
Stored in the body
Must be consumed regularly
Stored in the body’s fat until they are needed.
The best way to get vitamins and minerals is to choose nutritious foods.

19. Water Water Helps digest and absorb food.
Regulates body temperature and blood circulation.
Carries nutrients and oxygen to cells.
Removes toxins and other wastes.
Cushions joints.
Protects tissues and organs from shock and damage.

20. Dehydration is a lack of water in the body.
You need to replace the water your body loses by drinking at least eight 8-ounce cups of fluid each day.
Drink more water during vigorous activity or hot weather.
Choose water or milk most of the time and limit your intake of juice or soda.

21. Lesson 2 Review
What I Learned
Vocabulary What is fiber? What function does it have in the body?
Fiber is the part of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans that your body cannot digest. Fiber pushes foods through the digestive system and lowers the risk of certain cancers and heart disease.
