1. Nutrition is the study of foods, their nutrients and other chemical constituents, and the effects of food constituents on health.
2. Nutrition is an interdisciplinary science.3. Nutrition recommendations for the public change as new
knowledge about nutrition and health relationships is gained4. At the core of the science of nutrition are principles that
represent basic truths and serve as the foundation of our understanding about nutrition
5. Healthy individuals require the same nutrients across the life cycle but in differing amounts.
6. Nutritional status during one stage of the life cycle influences health status during subsequent life-cycle stages.
Introduction

1-Food is a basic need of humans. Food security—having access at all times to sufficient
supply of safe, nutritious foods Food insecurity—limited or uncertain availability of
safe, nutritious foods
2-Foods provide energy (calories), nutrients, and other substances needed for growth & health. Calorie—a measure of the amount of energy
transferred from food to the body Nutrients—chemical substances in food that are used
by the body
Essential Nutrients
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
7
Nutrients the body cannot manufacture are “essential” in the diet. We must consume them. They include: Carbohydrates Certain amino acids—”building blocks” of
proteins Essential fatty acids: linoleic acid and alpha-
linolenic acid Vitamins & minerals Water
Nonessential Nutrients
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
8
Present in foods, but not required in the diet since we can make them
Examples of nonessential nutrients: cholesterol, creatine and glucose

Dietary Intake Standards
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
10
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) General term Nutrient intake standards for healthy people
Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) Levels of essential nutrients Adequate for most healthy people Decrease risk of certain chronic diseases
Adequate Intakes (AIs) “Tentative” RDAs Used when scientific information is less
conclusive
Dietary Intake Standards
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
11
Estimated Average Requirements (EARs) Estimated values to meet requirements of half of
the healthy individuals in a group EARs are used to assess adequacy of intakes of
population groupsTolerable Upper Intake Levels (ULs)
Upper limits of nutrients compatible with health These are the limits that should not be exceeded
Theoretical Framework Used in DRI

12
Standards of Nutrient Intake on Nutrition Labels
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
13
Daily Values(DVs) are standards
for daily intakes of nutrients used on nutrition label of foods.
Six Categories of Nutrients

• Starches are most abundant in the Bread, Cereal, Rice, and Pasta group, the Vegetable group, and the plant foods found in the Meat and Poultry group
• Natural sugars occur in the Fruit group and in the Milk, Yogurt, and Cheese group
• The apex of FGP contains sugars and other sweets such as candy, gelatin, and soft drinks
Protein

Omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid ratio Desirable ratio is 4 or less omega-6 to 1 omega-
3 Many Americans have a 9 to 1 omega-6 to
omega-3 intake
Saturation States
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
22
Saturated—no double bondsUnsaturated
Monounsaturated—one double bond Polyunsaturated—2 or more double bonds
Hydrogenation and Trans Fats Hydrogenation—adds hydrogen to
unsaturated fatty acids Changes structure of fatty acid from cis
structure to trans form
Cholesterol

cholesterol “Healthful” fats
Those that raise HDL-cholesterol Examples: Monounsatured, polyunsaturated,
linolenic, EPA, and DHA
Recommended Intake of Fats
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
25
20-35% of calories from fat, limiting unhealthful fats as much as possible
Linoleic acid: 17 g/day for men, 12 g/day for women

Nutrition Principle #3
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
34
Health problems related to nutrition originate within cells.
Homeostasis—constancy of internal environment.
Nutrition Principle #4
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
35
Poor nutrition can result from both inadequate and excessive levels of nutrient intake. Prolonged inadequate intake results in obvious
deficiencies. Overdoses of nutrients (usually by supplements) result
in mild to severe alterations in functioning.

Steps in Development of Nutrient Deficiencies and Toxicities
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
37
Nutrient Deficiencies are Usually Multiple
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
38
The “ripple effect”—dietary changes introduced to improve intake of one nutrient affect intake level of other nutrients
Nutrition Principle 5&6
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
39
5-Humans have adaptive mechanisms for managing fluctuations in food intake. Nutrient storage Regulation of absorption Regulation of appetite
6-Malnutrition can result from poor diets and from disease states, genetic factors, or combinations of these causes. Primary malnutrition—dietary in origin Secondary malnutrition—precipitated by a disease
state, surgical procedure, or medication
Nutrient-Gene Interactions
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
40
Nutrigenomics—study of nutrient-gene interactions and effects of these interactions on health (also called nutritional genomics)
Genes code for enzymes and protein synthesis which affect body functioning
Interaction of genetic and environmental factors, including nutrition
Nutrient-Gene Interactions
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
41
• Examples of nutrient-gene interactions:
Whole oats lowers blood cholesterol in some people but not others
Green tea reduces risk of prostate cancer in some men
Nutrition Principle #7&8
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
42
7-Some groups of people are at higher risk of becoming inadequately nourished than others Pregnant/breastfeeding women, infants, children,
people who are ill, frail elderly persons
8-Poor nutrition can influence the development of certain chronic diseases Heart disease, hypertension, cancer, stroke,
osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, obesity
Nutrition Principle #9&10
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
43
9-Adequacy and balance are key characteristics of a healthy diet Variety Nutrient density “Empty-calorie” foods There are no “good” or “bad”
foods As Hippocrates expressed it, “All things in nutriment
are good or bad relatively.”
10-Nutrient-Dense Foods—contain high amounts of nutrients to calories Empty-Calorie Foods—contain low amounts of nutrients
to calories
Nutrition Labeling
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth

Nutrient content claimsHealth claims (must include disclaimer)
Other Labeling Concerns
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
48
Enrichment and fortification Enrichment—refined grain products have thiamin,
niacin, riboflavin and iron Fortified—addition of any other nutrient
Refined flour folic acid Milk vitamin D Low-fat and skim milk vitamins A & D
Other Labeling Concerns
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth

Herbal remedies Considered dietary supplements Some act like drugs, have side effects Vary in their safety and effectiveness Amount taken, duration of use and user’s age, stage,
and health status impact effect on health risk
The Life-Course Approach to Nutrition and Health
Nutrition Through the Life Cycle-ch1-© 2009 Cengage - Wadsworth
51
Healthy individuals require the same nutrients throughout life.
Amounts of nutrients vary based on age, growth and development.
Diets may be defined by cultures and religions.
