Why is food important?

Carbohydrates Class of nutrients made of sugars; these nutrients include sugar, starch, and fiber all but fiber provide energy. Provide energy as glucose Starch main source of E+ for most people Fiber not digestible….provides no calories… Reduces risk of colon cancer and heart disease Binds with cholesterol and takes it out of body

Fat Class of nutrients that does not mix with water. Made of fatty acids, which provide energy to the body Saturated fats BAD….from animal source Meat, butter, solid at room temperature, heart and artery disease Unsaturated BETTER liquid at room temperature. Comes from plant sources

Protein Protein is an essential nutrient which helps form the structural component of body tissues and is used within many biological processes, for example protein is used to make enzymes, antibodies to help us fight infection as well as DNA the building blocks to life. It’s also needed to make up muscle tissue which in turn helps to keep our bodies active, strong, and healthy. Most protein is stored in the body as muscle, generally accounting for around 40-45% of our body’s total pool, so it makes sense that if you increase activity, perhaps to improve health and fitness or body composition, you also need to consider protein as an important food group in your diet. Protein is found in dairy, meat, eggs, fish, beans and nuts, as well as in our protein shakes and bars. A sensible approach to meeting your daily protein requirements is to include a combination of these foods within your diet every day.

Vitamins/minerals What Are Vitamins and Minerals? Vitamins and minerals make people's bodies work properly. Although you get vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat every day, some foods have more vitamins and minerals than others. Vitamins fall into two categories: fat soluble and water soluble. The fat- soluble vitamins — A, D, E, and K — dissolve in fat and can be stored in your body. The water-soluble vitamins — C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate) — need to dissolve in water before your body can absorb them. Because of this, your body can't store these vitamins. Any vitamin C or B that your body doesn't use as it passes through your system is lost (mostly when you pee). So you need a fresh supply of these vitamins every day. Whereas vitamins are organic substances (made by plants or animals), minerals are inorganic elements that come from the soil and water and are absorbed by plants or eaten by animals. Your body needs larger amounts of some minerals, such as calcium, to grow and stay healthy. Other minerals like chromium, copper, iodine, iron, selenium, and zinc are called trace minerals because you only need very small amounts of them each day.

TERMS Life management skills: skill people use to meet their own needs everyday. Health: physical, mental and social well-being Wellness: overall state of well being Prevention: practicing health habits to keep a person a way form disease Self-esteem: confidence and worth you feel about yourself Lifestyle choices: choices made daily on how to treat the body and mind ex: what you eat Lifestyle diseases: disease that are made by neglect to the body

What is motivation? Page 15

What would you do? give me a $1 = give you $1,000 give me a $1 = give you a $1,000 in 20 years give me a $1 = give you a $1,000 (shock you) give me a $1 = 1 in 10 chance you get $1,000

Motivation that comes naturally is from instincts or human drives…..deep, physical urges such as hunger, thirst, fear Motivation is shaped by 4 factors: 1-Value of the reward 2-Timing (how soon you will get the reward) 3-Costs (risks of consequences) 4-Probability (how likely is the reward)

Motivation….discussion Drugs Circumstances/environment Heredity Consequences Learned?

Why is self-esteem important?

What problems can develop with a low self-esteem? 1.Because those with low self-esteem feel so inadequate, they automatically think that others see them in the same way and that others are laughing at them, will likely reject them, do not respect them, and will take advantage of them. fear and anxiety 2. Feeling inadequate, as though they don't fit in, and then constantly fearful of repercussions, low self esteem sufferers watch others in an effort to figure out what to do and say, what to wear-what seems to work.

3.Lack of Assertiveness: Assertiveness requires boldness that most low self esteem sufferers do not have. They are often too fearful of upsetting others (and then being rejected) to tell the truth, ask for what they want, or share their feelings. Instead, they tend to become passive until their anger builds at which point they can become aggressive-defensive, sarcastic, brusque, or rude, even violent such as is the case with domestic, gang, and teen violence. 4.Another response often given by those who have low self-esteem is acting in ways that are passive-aggressive. Examples are any form of manipulation, planned tardiness, throwing out cues for the other to pick up on, making insinuations to get the other person to do what you want, gossiping, etc Lack of Self-Confidence, those with low self esteem generally become either overachievers or underachievers. Some are angry and are driven to prove their adequacy-often becoming very successful as the result of their low self esteem. Other low self esteem sufferers remain in unsatisfying and or abusive relationships, remain in jobs where the pay is poor and the benefits nonexistent, give up on their dreams, and float through life because they are convinced that trying to change these factors will result in failure, humiliation, or being alone.

6. Trying to feel better about themselves, those with low self esteem may become involved in over spending, alcohol, perfectionism, drugs and elicit sex. 7. Most people who suffer from low self esteem have come from homes with poor boundaries. Individuality and creativity may have been discouraged; personal space and ownership of personal possessions may have been violated; the right to have personal preferences or make choices may have not have been allowed. The freedom to express oneself may have been squelched. Individuals coming from this environment may feel too frightened to share their feelings or to even know what they feel; they may not know what is acceptable or unacceptable behavior and act in ways that looks stilted or awkward. 8. Depression: Low self-esteem is the underlying cause of much of the depression people suffer. They feel that there are things they can't do well, especially as it concerns social skills, being successful, initiating and maintaining relationships, or having the courage to try new things. As a result they often feel hopeless about their situation and about the future.
