Vitamins are very fragile thus making it easy to lose them while cooking. Due to them being able to be broken down by heat, air and acid. They are primarily known for taking the energy from the macronutrients. There are 13 essential vitamins which we get from our diet other than Vitamin D.What are some examples?MeatCitrusLiverNutsEggsGreen, S (2023 October 26) 5.1 Vitamins and Minerals [Google slides].

Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in liquids in our food and our tissues. They are not stored so it's very difficult to get toxicity. They also need to be consumed on a daily.Almost all water solubles are composed of C & B complexes.What are some examples?MilkEggsSoybeansBananasGreen, S (2023 October 26) 5.1 Vitamins and Minerals [Google slides].

Fat vitamins are found in fatty substances whether it being a tissue or plants. These vitamins are stored in our fat tissue. Because these vitamins are being stored you can toxicate yourself with vitamin poisoning. Due to keeping in mind many diseases are due to lack of vitamins; survey which is a lack of Vitamin C was common in the pirate era. Fat-soluble vitamins are A, D, E and K complexes.What are some examples and functions?Protects from InfectionsDark Green vegetablesHealthy Bones & teethEggsPlant oilsGreen PlantsGreen, S (2023 October 26) 5.1 Vitamins and Minerals [Google slides].

Major minerals are the minerals we need in our body in large amounts. These include calcium, magnesium & sulphur. Calcium and phosphorus work together to maintain structural integrity.Magnesium does the same as calcium and also helps form certain proteins.Sulphurs' main thing is to help the body process macronutrients.What are some examples?NutsSoy productsMost DairiesGreen leafy vegetablesAPA 5.1 SLIDES [26-29]

Electrolytes are minerals that have an electric charge which work together to help with body fluids. All electrolytes are sodium chloride and potassium.Sodium and Chloride help with the nervous system. Sodium helps with blood pressure and muscles and also regulates body fluids. Sodium + Chloride = SALT!!Potassium helps the nervous system, heartbeat, blood pressure and muscle cells.

Water is without a doubt the most important nutrient in the world because without it the others won't be able to arrive/complete their functions. You can imagine water as a booster in a way without it your body will be less effective and efficient.It is recommended that you consume 50%-75% of your weight in ounces. Keep in mind that if you overdrink water it could lead to nausea & headaches while not consuming the same could also lead to the same symptoms.What are some functions?Lubricates JointsRegulates Body tempHelps with digestionAids with waste removalAPA 1.1 SLIDE [18-21]

Macronutrients are the ones that provide energy. Macronutrients are measured in calories. They are needed to complete basic functions. Green, S (2023 October 16) 1.1 Nutrients [Google slides].

Carbohydrates otherwise known as carbs a compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen & oxygen. Carbs are 4 cal per gramCarbs are the most important energy source for the human body. They are chains of sugar that are broken down into glucose.It enters the bloodstream and then converts into adenosine Triphosphate to power multiple metabolic tasksIf we have exes glucose the body will transform that into glycogen which is then stored in the liver & the skeletal muscle. Once you have stored enough the extra glucose will turn into fat cells.Functions of Carbohydrates-Protein sparing (prevents us from using proteins as energy)-Energy for our nervous system-Helps the body absorb calciumWhat are some examples of carbs?PotatoGrainOat branQuinoaLegumesPeasPeanutsGreen, S (2023 October 3) 2.1 Carbohydrates [Google slides].

Complex carbs are carbohydrates that have three or more sugar molecules. Complex carbs are usually starchy foods.Complex carbs are usually better than simple ones because they keep a sustainable flow of energy rather than a short burst.Complex carbs have starch & fibres which are long chains of glucose due to the fibre that's between each glucose, thus causing the small intestine to break down the starch.

Fibres are found in the cell wall of plants and aren't digestible. They won't provide you with energy, however, they're still essential due to their crucial role in ridding waste & proper digestion.Green, S (2023 October 3) 2.1 Carbohydrates [Google slides].

Soluble dissolves in water and turns into a gel-like substance. This helps to slow digestion and also softens stool which helps flow through the digestion process.They also lower LDL and triglyceride levels and total cholesterol.What are some examples?Oat branBarleyQuinoaLegumesGreen, S (2023 October 3) 2.1 Carbohydrates [Google slides].

Simple carbs contain 1 or 2 sugar molecules. The 1 molecule category is composed of fructose(fruit) & galactose(milk) and they call them monosaccharides.The group that is composed of 2 is named disaccharides and some examples are sucrose(sugar), and lactose(diary) & maltose( vegetables & beer)Simple carbs are easily broken down; they are absorbed into the bloodstream easily and swiftly.What are some simple carbs?FruitsMilkSugarProcessed foods (tend to have)Green, S (2023 October 3) 2.1 Carbohydrates [Google slides].

Fats which are also referred to as lipids are long-chained molecules composed of hydrogen and oxegyn. The hydrogen also makes these chains hydrophobic. Lipids are known as energy-rich compounds consisting of 9 cal per gram.Lipids are most commonly known for keeping the human body warm it works/function as an insulator.What are some examples?AvocadoesFatty fish (tuna & salmon)Olive OilButterGreen, S (2023 October 16) 4.1 Fats [Google slides].

Saturated fatty acids are considered saturated due to their bond with hydrogen. Saturated fatty acids can increase LDL on a major scale while they can only slightly increase HDL. Therefore it is seen as bad fat. They're also seen as bad fats due to their reputation for increasing heart issues.What are some examples?ButterCheeseAnimal fatPalm OilGreen, S (2023 October 16) 4.1 Fats [Google slides].

Trans fats are liquid fats that are then turned into solids. They were man-made and weren't a thing 100 years ago. They make it through a process called hydrogenation. They are used to keep stuff on shelves for longer. These are known as bad fats they increase LDL and decrease HDL.No matter how many trans-fats you think you should have; you will be wrong because there is no safe zone.What are some examples?Ritz SandwichCookiesCerealsAnything shelvedGreen, S (2023 October 16) 4.1 Fats [Google slides].

Cholesterol makes hormones, Vitamin D and other stuff that help your body. Our body already makes the amount we have but we can still consume them from our diets. However, do remember that overconsumption does take a toll on your body and forms plaques in your bloodstream. Which blocks the blood flow within your bloodstream. This is called atherosclerosis and could lead to heart issues.What are some examples?Egg YolksMeatCheese\Green, S (2023 October 16) 4.1 Fats [Google slides].

Proteins are long chains of amino acids that are building blocks for all of life. There are 20 amino acids that have millions of unique sequences, amino acids are composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and a few that contain sulphur.Humans already make 11 of the 20 amino acids which we call those non-essential amino acids while the other 9 are essential.The acids are absorbed from the intestine wall; when our body needs to be repaired the acids are used. As stated earlier the type of amino acid has its own unique purpose.What are some functions?Improves immunityMaintains pH levelsProvides structureRepairs tissuesGreen, S (2023 October 11) 3.1 Proteins [Google slides].
