5 Carbohydrates Carbohydrates supply the body with glucose, which is a main fuel for the body. Carbohydrates are the sugars, starches and fibers found in fruits, grains, vegetables and milk products % of your daily intake (What You Eat) should be carbohydrates!

6 1. Starch: (Found in Grains and Vegetables) Provides glucose in a form the body uses best. Complex Carbohydrates. The brain needs glucose to perform. Breakfast is KEY! 2. Fiber: (Found in Fruits, Whole Grains, Veggies) This does NOT provide energy. Helps maintain health of digestive system (Helps you go to the bathroom Regularly) Fiber binds to cholesterol! (Reduces risk of Heart Disease) Aim for grams daily C A R B O H Y D R A T E S

9 Fats Can you name the four types of fat? Give your body energy and to support cell growth. Help protect your organs and help keep your body warm. Help your body absorb some nutrients and produce important hormones. The body can store unlimited amounts of fat!

10 There are FOUR major dietary fats in the foods we eat: 1. Saturated Fats 2. Trans Fats 3. Monounsaturated Fats 4. Polyunsaturated Fats The bad fats, saturated and trans fats, tend to be more solid at room temperature (like a stick of butter). While monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats tend to be more liquid (like liquid vegetable oil).

12 Cholesterol Fats can also have different effects on the cholesterol levels in your body. The bad fats, saturated fats and trans fats raise bad cholesterol (LDL) levels in your blood. Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats can lower bad cholesterol levels and are beneficial when consumed as part of a healthy dietary pattern. 30% of your diet should come from fats (More unsaturated than saturated)

13 Protein 10% of your diet should come from Proteins An important component of every cell in the body. Hair and nails are mostly made of protein. Your body uses protein to build and repair tissues. You also use protein to make enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals. Building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. Unlike fat and carbohydrates, the body does not store protein, and therefore has no reservoir to draw on when it needs a new supply.

16 Vitamins (Compounds) Vitamins provide NO calories (energy). Vitamins can make you feel good and provide more energy during the day. Very important to fight off diseases, illnesses and other harmful cells. Too little or too much can be harmful!

17 There are 2 types of vitamins: 1. Fat-Soluble Vitamins: Dissolves in fat Examples: Vitamin A, D, E, K & Beta- Carotene Do not need everyday!! Stored in Fat! 2. Water- Soluble Vitamins: Dissolves in water Examples: Vitamin C, B6, B12, Thiamin, Folate

18 Minerals (Elements) Necessary for proper body functioning Examples: Calcium, Iron, Sodium, Chloride and Potassium Sodium, Chloride and Potassium are all called Electrolytes: Dissolved minerals that carry electrical charges to help maintain proper balance of fluids in body. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. Stored in teeth and bones. You can get enough if you eat a Balanced Diet!!

21 Water You need 6-8 glasses a day, or 64oz.! Water is the most VITAL nutrient! You can live only a few DAYS without water. It carries materials in the body such as oxygen, nutrients, & wastes. 60% of your body weight is water
