|
Essential dietary elements are classified by the ______ of an element that our
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
body needs |
Amount
Macronutrients
Dietary elements that are required by our bodies in large amounts
| | | | | | | | | |
Micronutrients
Dietary elements that are required by our bodies in small amounts
| | | | | | | | | |
Food additive |
A substance added to food in order to preserve it, maintain its quality & make it
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
more appealing |
Energy density |
The number of calories in a unit of food depending on the proportion of energy-
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
yielding components to non-energy components
| | | |
Why is food important?
| | |
• We use food to form the building blocks for cells in our body
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
• Proteins form enzymes, receptors, signal molecules etc
| | | | | | |
• Fats used for cell growth & preservation and as building blocks for cell
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
membranes
Why are micronutrients essential, and what are two examples of micronutrients?
| | | | | | | | | |
Micronutrients are also essential for structures and functions in our bodies
| | | | | | | | | | |
(calcium, vitamin a) | |
Calcium Importance |
Formation of bones & teeth; enzymatic function; blood clotting; release of
| | | | | | | | | | |
neurotransmitters
, Vitamin A Importance | |
Important for vision, growth, cell division, reproductio,n and immunity
| | | | | | | |
Diet
The type of food & drink habitually consumed ie. the intake of nutrients & the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
foods that provide these nutrients
| | | |
Why was Canada's Food Guide made?
| | | | |
• Designed to help Canadians meet daily nutritional needs (as currently
| | | | | | | | | | |
understood)
• Educational tool to help people follow a healthy diet
| | | | | | | | |
What was the cost of the evidence-based food guide?
| | | | | | | |
Experiments on Indigenous children | | |
DRI'S
General heading for 5 sets of nutrient intake values for healthy people - nutrition
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
recommendations for total energy, macronutrients, vitamins, minerals and water | | | | | | | |
DRI development
|
DRI's developed by a committee of nutrition experts from Canada & US
| | | | | | | | | | |
Policy development & nutrient recommendations are based on the "average"
| | | | | | | | | |
needs as determined by: | | |
Estimated Average Requirements (EAR) | | |
Estimated Average Requirements (EAR) | | |
- Population-wide averages for daily nutrient intakes across given life stages and
| | | | | | | | | | | |
sexes
- This EAR value represents the nutrient need for about 50% of the population
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
EAR and the population
| | |
EAR are average nutrient requirements so they are sufficient for only about 50%
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
of the population.
