What are Macronutrients?
carbohydrates, lipids, proteins
What are Micronutrients?
vitamins, minerals, water
Calories per gram of carbs, fats, protein, and alcohol
4, 9, 4, 7
FIBER
Non digestible plant compound
DRI- 14 g daily
Main source: grains (3-5 servings a day)
Eg. Rye, wheat
Nondigestible Fiber (resistant starch) health benefits
lowers risk of developing
-constipation
-diabeties
-heart disease
-colorectal cancer
Dietary fiber
Not digestible to humans, protects colon, lowers blood sugar,
, Phytochemicals
Chemicals in plant-based foods that are not nutrients but that have effects on the body.
Play a role in fighting chronic disease
Zoochemicals
physiologically active compounds found in foods of animal origin that may provide
health benefits.
functional foods (nutraceuticals)
foods that have a potentially beneficial effect on health when consumed as part of a
varied diet on a regular basis at effective levels
Prebiotics
food components (such as fibers) that are not digested by the human body but are used
as food by the GI bacteria to promote their growth and activity
Probiotics
live microbes applied to or ingested into the body, intended to exert a beneficial effect
(eg yogurt)
Lipoproteins
protein + lipid that carry cholesterol through bloodstream
Chylomicron
transport fat and protein from meal to cells via lymphatic system
VDL (very low density lipoprotein)
made in the liver, carries much of the triglycerides in the bloodstream
LDL (low density lipoprotein)
