8th grade SWBAT : Explore the elements necessary for proper nutrition and explain how individuals can make healthy food choices2/4/2014 Warm: 1.List the 6 essential nutrients and a food source for each one. Class Work: Finish your MyPlate – (period 2) Continue with Nutrition & MyPlate

Nutrients Nutrients – substances that your body needs to grow, to repair itself and to supply you with energy Classified into 6 groups: Carbohydrates Proteins Fats Vitamins Minerals Water

Carbohydrates The starches and sugars present in foods Body’s main source of energy Simple – sugars Complex – starches – Fiber

Proteins Nutrients that help build and maintain body cells and tissues Made of long chains of amino acids Used to make enzymes, hormones and antibodies Supply body with energy

Fats Lipid – fatty substance that does not dissolve in water Some fat is necessary for good health Types: – Saturated – solid at room temperature – Unsaturated – liquid at room temperature

Role of Fats Provide a concentrated form of energy Transport vitamins in blood stream Needed for growth and healthy skin Add flavor and texture to foods Help satisfy hunger longer Consuming excess can result in weight gain and obesity

Vitamins Help regulate many vital body processes – Including digestion, absorption and metabolism of other nutrients Two main types: – Water-soluble – Fat-soluble

Common Vitamins C – protects against infection A – keeps eyes moist and adjusts to darkness D – bone and tooth development Folic Acid – needed for cell replication and growth

Minerals Substances that the body cannot manufacture They are needed for: – Forming healthy bones and teeth – Regulating many vital body processes

Common Minerals Calcium – building bones and teeth Iron – important for red blood cell function Phosphorous – gives rigidity to bones, maintains pH balance in blood and essential in cell metabolism Magnesium – aids in bone growth and muscle contraction

Which is healthier?

Water Vital to every body function Transports nutrients Carries wastes Important to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day
