Nutrition For Health And Health Care EXAM 1 With Complete Solutions 2024Nutrition - correct answer-the science of foods and the nutrients and other substances they contain, and of their ingestion, digestion, absorption, transport, metabolism, interaction, storage, and excretion. Study of the environment and of human behavior as it relates to these processes Cultural competence - correct answer-an awareness and acceptance of one's own and others' cultures combined with the skills needed to interact effectively with people of diverse cultures. Bioactive food components - correct answer-compounds in foods ( either nutrients of phytochemicals) that alter physiological processes in the body. Phyytochemicals - correct answer-compounds in plants that confer color, taste, and other characteristics. Some phytochemicals are bioactive food components in functional foods. foodways - correct answer-the eating habits and culinary practices of a people, region, or historical period. ethnic diets - correct answer-foodways and cuisines typical of national origins, races, cultural heritages, or geographic locations. functional foods - correct answer-whole or modified foods that contain bioactive food components believed to provide health benefits, such as reduced disease risks, beyond the benefits that their nutrients contribute Nutrients - correct answer-substances obtained from food and used in the body to provide energy and structural materials and to serve as regulation agents to promote growth, maintenance, and repair. Essential nutrients - correct answer-nutrients a person must obtain from food because the body can not make them for itself in sufficient quantities to meet physiological needs. organic - correct answer-carbon-containing. the four organic nutrients are carbohydrate, fat, protein, and vitamins. energy-yielding nutrients - correct answer-the nutrients that break down to yield energy the body can use. inorgainc - correct answer-in containing carbon or pertaining to living things. calories - correct answer-units in which energy is measured.

Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) - correct answer-a set of values reflecting the average daily amounts f nutrients considered adequate to meet the known nutrient needs of practically all healthy people in a particular life stage and gender group. Adequate Intakes (AI) - correct answer-a set of values that are used as guides for nutrient intakes when scientific evidence is insufficient to determine an RDA. requirement - correct answer-the lowest continuing intake of a nutrient that will maintain a specified criterion of adequacy. deficient - correct answer-in regard to nutrient intake, describes that amount below which almost all healthy people can be expected over time to experience deficiency symptoms. Estimated Average Requriements (EAR) - correct answer-the average daily nutrient intake levels estimated to meet the requirements of half of the healthy individuals in a given age and gender group Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL) - correct answer-a set of values reflecting the highest average daily nutrient intake levels that are likely to pose no risk of toxicity to almost all healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group. Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) - correct answer-the dietary energy intake level that is predicted to maintain energy balance in a healthy adult of a defined age, gender, weight, and physically activity level consistent with good health.
