NR 228 Nutrition Chapter 1,2,3Absorption - ANS - Process by which substances pass through the intestinal mucosa into the
blood or lymph
\Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDRs) - ANS - are daily percentage energy
intake values for the macronutrients fat, carbohydrate, and protein. For these energy-yielding
nutrients, the following daily intake ranges are set to provide adequate energy and nutrients
while offering reduced risk of chronic disorders:
\Active Transport - ANS - the movement of molecules and ions by means of a carrier protein
against fluid pressures that require expenditure of cellular energy.
\Adequate Intake (AI) - ANS - is the approximate level of an average nutrient intake determined
by observation of or experimentation with a particular group or population that appears to
maintain good health. Is used when there are insufficient data to set an RDA.
\Alcohol - ANS - provides 7 Kcal of energy but no nutrients. Too much of it will have the body
treat it as toxins.
\Anabolism - ANS - is the process of synthesis from which substances are formed, such as new
bone or muscle tissue.
\Assortment - ANS - addresses the value of eating a variety of foods from every food group.
selections over a 5-day period. Provides a daily average of fewer calories, less fat, less
cholesterol, and less sodium.
\Balance - ANS - will provide foods from all the food groups in quantities so essential nutrients
are consumed in proportion to one another, thus achieving a balance among the levels of
nutrients eaten.
\Carbohydrates - ANS - A major source of fuel. Broken down into glucose which is the most
efficient source of energy for the body, especially for the brain and muscles. 4 K cal
\Catabolism - ANS - the breakdown of food components into smaller molecular particles, which
causes the release of energy as heat and chemical energy.
\Community Nutrition - ANS -
\Community supports for health promotion - ANS - Availability of environmental or regulatory
measures to support new health-promoting behaviors within a social context
\Complex carbs are found in .... - ANS - found in cereals, pasta, grains, fruits, and vegetables
\Consumption of lipids will put one at risk for...... - ANS - Coronary artery disease and cancer
\Daily recommended amount for each food group based on 2000 calorie a day diet. - ANS -
Grains- 6 ounces
Vegetable- 2 and half cups
Fruits- 2 cups
Dairy- 3 cups
Protein Foods- 5 and half ounces
\Daily Values - ANS - a system for food labeling composed of two sets of reference values:
reference daily intakes (RDIs) and daily reference values. The percent of Daily Values
information (%DV), based on a 2000-kcal diet, is intended to show consumers how much of a
, day's ideal intake of a particular nutrient they are eating. DVs for selected nutrients and food
components based on a 2500-calorie diet are also given at the bottom of the label.
\Dietary Guidelines - ANS - These guidelines are updated every 5 years and are intended for
healthy Americans more than 2 years of age. This knowledge is used to formulate lifestyle and
dietary pattern recommendations that will contain adequate nutrients, promote health, maintain
active lifestyles, and decrease the risk of chronic diseases
\Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) - ANS - Based on review of available scientific data,
Assessment of nutrient function to reduce risk of chronic and other diseases, Evaluation of
nutrient consumption levels among U.S. and Canadian populations, Applicable to various
individuals and population groups.
\Dietary standards - ANS - are a guide to adequate nutrient intake levels against which to
compare nutrient values of foods consumed.
\Digestive process across the life span - ANS - Allergies,Middle years include gallbladder
disease and peptic ulcers, Age-related lactose intolerance
Older years associated with constipation and diverticulosis
\Disease Prevention - ANS - is the recognition of a danger to health that could be reduced or
alleviated through specific actions or changes in lifestyle behaviors.
\Elimination - ANS - Expulsion of feces or body waste products called defecation
\Emotional health - ANS - The capacity to easily express or suppress emotions appropriately
\Emotional health of nutrition - ANS - may be affected by poor eating habits, resulting in
hypoglycemia or low blood glucose levels. Low blood glucose occurs normally in anyone who is
physically hungry. When the body's need for food is ignored (e.g., when we miss meals because
of poor planning or are too busy to eat), feelings of anxiety and confusion and trembling may
occur
\Environmental health - ANS - The external factors that affect our health and well-being,
including the physical context within which one lives and works as affected by determinants of
ethnicity, education, income, and occupation; and extending to the larger environment of
safeguarding natural resources to reduce exposure to preventable hazards.
\Environmental health of nutrition - ANS - includes access to adequate meal-preparation
facilities, knowledge about preparation, and financial and physical access to food stores within
one's community. In major cities in the United States, some residents may live in "food deserts"
within which large grocery stores are not easily accessible, thereby limiting access to fresh and
reasonably priced foods
\Esophagus - ANS - A muscular tube through which bolus travels from mouth to
stomach,Peristalsis,Segmentation
Cardiac sphincter
\Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) Half - ANS - is the amount of a nutrient needed to meet
the basic requirements of half the individuals in a specific group that represents the needs of a
population. Considers issues of deficiency and physiologic functions. Public health nutrition
researchers and policymakers primarily use the _________to determine the basis for setting the
RDAs.
\Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) - ANS - is the DRI for dietary energy intake. The aims to
maintain good health by providing energy intake levels to maintain individuals' body weights
