Nutrients

Nutrients are found in the food we eat every day.Nutrients are used in:Formation and maintenance of tissuesWell functioning of our internal organs Obtaining necessary daily energyAll the activities our organism does.NUTRIENTS are :PROTEINS CARBOHIDRATES FATS VITAMINS MINERALS WATER

PROTEINS

SUBSTANCES THAT ARE PART OF ANIMAL TISSUE SUCH AS BLOOD,SKIN,MUSCLES ETC SO AS VEGETABLE TISSUES;SEEDS,ROOTS,LEAVES .THE WORD PROTEIN COMES FROM THE GREEK WORD MEANING PROTEIOS THAT MEANS FIRST PLACE.PROTEINS ARE COMPLEX SUBSTANCES THAT HAVE:

• CARBON• HIDROGEN• OXYGEN • NITROGEN

Food guide pyramid

Foods rich in protein

• From animals From plants• Beef peas• Poultry beans• Pork peanuts• Seafood almonds• Dairy productsBEEF

• Carbohydrates are energy source for humans.We find them in grains,cereals and some tubers.They are the basic fuel for human body and they are needed for many body functions. Our brain uses a carbohydrate called glucose to function adequately.

• Carbohydrates have carbon,hydrogen and oxygen.

Carbohydrates functions

• They give energy for :• 1. Physical activity• 2.Body functioning• 3.Give body temperature • 4.Child’s growth• 5. They save proteins stopping them to be an

energy source and let them work on formation and repairment of tissues.

Fats are made up of elements called grease acids.As carbohydrates they have carbon,hydrogen and oxygen. Fats are important for our organism’s function but must be taken in small amounts because eating too much of them and a sedentary life can cause many diseases.Fats can be saturated and nonsaturated.Saturated fats are solid and are found in food from animals.Nonsaturated fats are usually liquid and are found in vegetables like vegetable oil except for coconut and African palm oil who have lots of saturated fats.FUNCTIONS OF FATS IN ORGANISM They give more energy than carbohydrates and proteins.Serve as vehicles for vitamins that are water soluble.Help regulate body temperature.

Saturated Fats

• Greasy meats• Shortening• Sour cream• Greasy cheeses• Kidneys• Cold meats• Mayonese• Liver• Coconut oil• African palm oil

NONSATURATED FATS

• OILS: OLIVE,CORN, • SESAME,SUNFLOWER• SOY
