1. ______________size
2. serving per ___________
3. grams of total fat, saturated fat, total

Digestive System
• Digestion
– Process of breaking
down large foods into
smaller molecules of
nutrients to be absorbed
into the blood and
carried to cells
throughout the body.
• Nutrition – the process in
which the body takes in
and uses food
•http://www.umm.edu/digest/howworks.htm
Food and Energy

a series of chemical reactions take place inside
your cells. As a result, energy is
_______________.
• The amount of energy released when
nutrients are burned is measured in units
called ___________. The more calories a food
has, the more _________ it
_______________.
Energy is needed for such things as:
• Regulating body ______________
• Keeping your heart beating and your longs
breathing

• Everything that you do!
6 Classes of Nutrients
• Through Digestion, nutrients serve ______ functions:
– Provide Energy (Macro nutrients)

• Proteins (2)
• Fats (3)
– Regulating Growth and Repair of Tissues
• Proteins
– Regulate Body Functions (Micro nutrients)

Energy Providing Nutrients
• Carbohydrates
– ____ calories/gram
• Proteins
– ____ calories/gram
• Fats
– ____ calories/gram
• The rate at which we burn energy is
determined by things such as:
• How active we are
• Our age
• One’s own basil metabolic rate
• The temperature of the environment
1. Carbohydrates (CHO’s)
•
Major source of ________ for the body
–
Role of CHO’s:
•
–
Unused CHO’s can be stored:
•
•
•
–
Turned into glucose (Sugar) that the body uses to produce
energy
Glycogen- Stored glucose in liver or muscles
Fat- Excess CHO’s that can’t be stored as glycogen are stored as
FAT
Can be used for energy when the body needs it
_________ of food should be Carbohydrates
Simple and Complex CHO’s
• There are ___ types of carbohydrates:
– __________ carbohydrates (Sugars)
• Used for quick, immediate energy
• Examples: fruits (fructose), some vegetables (maltose),
milk (lactose), sugars found in desert foods (no
nutritional value)
• MYTH: Eat sugar to boost your energy.
– FACT: Your blood glucose level peaks initially, but wears off
quickly and below normal levels
Sugary carbohydrates found in soft drinks, and candy

__________feeling
Eating of sugary foods causes the pancreas to secrete

in blood glucose level.
Result – within an hour of eating, the body feels
______________________________
Simple and Complex CHO’s
– Complex carbohydrates (Starches)
• Used to supply long-lasting energy
• Eating more whole grain CHO’s will cause fewer sugar cravings since CHO’s
are a natural source of sugar. If the body does not get enough whole grain
CHO’s then it will _______sugary snacks like candies, cakes, etc.
• Look for foods that contain at least ____ grams of fiber per serving.
• Exa. Of whole grains: bread, cereals, pasta, potatoes, fruit, starchy
vegetables
– FACT: This provides a slow release of glucose over time
(Sustained energy)
Fiber in carbohydrates
• _________ is the tough, stringy part of vegetables,
fruits, and grains
• Complex carbohydrate found in plants
• Fiber is not really a ________ because it cannot be
broken down and absorbed into the body – they pass
out of the body without being digested. However…
• Fiber prevents ____________, and may reduce the risk
of lower bowel cancer and play a role in preventing
heart disease
• __________ grain bread and cereals, vegetables, fruits,
and seeds provide fiber
• 25 grams of fiber is needed daily
Fiber- A Unique CHO
• Fiber
– Indigestible type of complex
carbohydrate
– Does not provide Energy
– Function:
• Helps move waste through
digestive system
• Helps prevents constipation,
heart disease, diabetes and
cancers
– Eat 20-35 grams of fiber daily
2. Fat (Lipids)
• Role of Fat: is the nutrient that gives us the
highest energy
– Provides a lot of ____________ in long lasting
activities

and K
• Aerobic Activities tend to burn BODY FAT
Saturated Fats
• 2 Types
– _____________ Fats
• Tend to be more solid in room temp.
• Found in ________ _____ and _____
• Leading sources in American diet include: red meat,

4. Vitamins
•
DO NOT PROVIDE __________
•
Vitamins are compounds that allow many of
the ___________ processes in the body to
occur.
•

• _____________________
• Utilized when needed
– Can be toxic if taken in large amounts
– Water soluble vitamins: Vits B and C
•
•
•
•
•
________________
Not stored in body
Excreted in Urine
Must be replaced often
Nine H2O soluble vitamins
5. Minerals
•
•
•
Inorganic substances the body cannot
produce
Come from the _________________
Functions:
– Speed reactions in body to regulate process of
the body: healing wounds, facilitating muscle
contraction, providing major components of
bones.
•
2 types of Minerals
Trace Elements
• Only needed in __________ amounts
• Ex. Iron, Copper, iodine, selenium, zinc..
– Each mineral has a different purpose
• Iron- carries oxygen in blood
• Zinc- boosts immune system
Major Elements
• Needed in large quantities
• Ex. Calcium, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride…
– Each mineral has a different purpose
• Calcium- Develop bone strength, muscle contractions,
blood clotting. In the teen years you are still building
bone mass, so it is essential that you get enough
calcium each day. (4-6 servings) Each can of pop that
you drink robs the body of 100mg of calcium.)
• Teens can store calcium in their teen years
• In the adult years, the body uses more calcium
than it makes, so it is important that you drink
3-4 cups of milk, or eat products containing
calcium daily!
• If your body lack calcium, it will take from the
jaw bone first!
• Sodium, Chloride and Potassium- Electrolytes
that maintain body fluid
6. Water
•
_____________of body weight is water
•
Function:
–
–
–
–
–
–
•
Carries nutrients to and from cells (Plasma)
Lubricates joints
Allows you to swallow and digest foods
Allows you to absorb nutrients
Eliminates wastes
Regulate body temperature
Should drink fluids often (____ cups/day)
Other Hydration tips for athletes
• Drink 16 ounces of liquid two hours before the event.
• Drink 4-8 ounces of liquid for every fifteen minutes of exercise
to minimize dehydration.
• Weigh yourself before and after the event to learn how much
fluid is lost in sweat, then drink freely to replace it.
• Remember, just because you don’t feel thirsty it doesn’t mean
you don’t need to drink.
• Cold-weather athletes (skiers) may not experience the buildup of heat as quickly as summer soccer players, yet they still
need to replace their fluids, so do it!
