Test Two Overview
Chapter 1:
Government agencies – CDC (canter for disease control) They provide info on diseases,
help to control breakouts of diseases, Deal with food recalls and food born illnesses
(Ecoli) control outbreak of any infections.
FDA (Food and drug administration) Focus on food quality, ensure food and drugs are
safe to consume, inspect facilities, expiration dates on things.
USDA (United states department of agriculture) help to design setup and expectable
standards for diet and nutrition such as portion size, food labels, and healthy eating
habits. Improve nutrition and health by providing food assistance and education.
The DRI (dietary guidelines) review them identify need for changes.
Guides – (My plate) (Food pyramid) (healthy people 2020) guides are for nutrition
standards, dietary guidelines, and food guides.
m
er as
Evidence based practice (EBP) – Need to look for evidence, identify the problem, and ask
co
why, do research, and present evidence, implement findings, and evaluate. Going based
eH w
off of what actually works provided evidence that supports why it works. Always ask
o.
questions never stop. (example- Insulin sliding scale, and BP cuffs room to room how
rs e
safe it is.. they proved everybody needs their own cuff)

Function of nutrients – They provide us with energy, build and tissue repair, regulate
aC s
metabolic processes that maintain homeostasis.

Chapter 6:
What are vitamins - They have to be organic, it is not energy producing, can’t be
ed d
synthesized or made by the body has to be provided in food, given in small quantities.
ar stu
called micronutrients.
o Problems caused by deficiencies – Vitamin D deficiency can cause rickets,
is
osteoporosis, fatigue and muscle breakdown, inability to process calcium. Vitamin
C deficiency scurry caused by lack of vitamin C.
Th
Vitamin B12 deficiency
Vitamin A vision issues
Iron anemia
sh
Thiamin bary bary
Vitamin K blood clotting issues
o Problems caused by excess
1. Supplements
Water – soluble vitamins – Vitamin C Thymine B6, B12, riboflavin

Test Two Overview
o Fat-soluble vitamins – A, B, E, K, 1% or 2% milk better for you because there is
vitamin D in it. Vitamin D is fat soluble and helps vitamin d to process quicker
and more effectively.
o Food sources –Vitamin C - citrus fruits, Vitamin A – cheese, eggs, dairy, melons,
tomato juice, carrots Vitamin D liver, dark green leafy veggies? Vitamin E
( antioxidant) found in dark green leafy veggies, nuts, fortified cereals, vegetable
oils
o Deficiencies (up top)
o Function in the body (at top)
o WHY DO WE NEED THEM
Chapter 7:
Minerals – major and trace (Box 7-1)
m
er as
o Where are they found in the body – major or trace. Major include calcium,
co
sodium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium sodium chloride, sulfur (pg 139)
eH w
called major because our bodies need more. Trace include Iron- needed for
o.
hemoglobin it binds hemoglobin and oxygen together. Called trace because we
rs e
don’t need them very much, but they are still very important. Vitamin to assist in
ou urc
absorption for anemia Vitamic C
o Food sources
o Role in the body – Sodium and potassium can affect heart too much and too little
o
o Deficiencies/Excess
aC s
1.Calcium can lead to calcification of soft tissues, little affect bone, transmission
vi y re
of nerve impulses
sodium- excess can affect heart
2.Water - Very important (Homeostasis)- state in which the body maintains a
ed d
balance. Body naturally maintains a balance at every second minerals and
ar stu
vitamins and everything in our bodies.
- Water distribution – most of us are dehydrated and don’t get enough.
Hydration is key to body function, balance, essential for digestion and nutrient
is
absorption
Th
-maintaining balance – homeostasis. Water intake can be affected by aging
process, diabetes excessive amounts of water , stroke paitents difficulty
swallowing cystic fibrosis mucous causes a need for more water. Medication-
sh
diuretics Fluid and electrolyte balance Forces that control distribution of water -
Solutes or particles in solution hypertonic and hypotonic solution. (osmosis
moves and distributes active transport diffusion.. shift) Electrolytes and plasma
proteins .. albumin , act of controlling homeostasis and membranes between them
*hormones that affect water balance – aldosterone – regulates BP aids in
conserving sodium absorption increases the reabsorption of water too, and ADH
