Objectives Identify the relationship between nutrition and stress. Describe how poor nutrition causes aging. Explain the effects of stress on the body. Discuss nutritional and nonfood methods of managing stress.
Nutrients and Diet Components of food are energy nutrients that enable our bodies to function and fight against diseases. Nutrients include: Carbohydrates Fats Proteins Calories
Metabolism and Aging Catabolism: the body breaks down large units of living matter into smaller units, which are then released as either energy or waste; digestion uses both physical and chemical means to break down food for absorption by the body Anabolism: builds up tissue rather than breaking it down and includes building muscle and other cellular growth
Free Radicals and Antioxidants Created from weak molecules that have split Attempt to remedy split Weaken, split, and create more free radicals Overabundance of free radicals leads to tissue damage. Aging process is accelerated. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals.
Poor Nutrition and Stress on the Body Caffeine: triggers sympathetic nervous system; can cause irritability Alcohol and fatty foods: can suppress immune system Sodium: can lead to fluid retention ti and high blood pressure (continues)
Poor Nutrition and Stress on the Body Sugar: depletes the body of B vitamins; responsible for allowing an overgrowth of yeast cells Hydrogenated foods: decrease functionality of cells and cause aging Chocolate: can cause migraines
Esthetic Benefits of Vitamins Vitamin A: helps hair, skin, and nails stay supple and glowing Vitamin B1 (thiamine): can help accelerate hair growth after thinning following illness Vitamin i B2 (riboflavin): i improves oxygenation in the skin and keeps oil production at appropriate levels l (continues)
Esthetic Benefits of Vitamins Vitamin B3 (niacin): aids in normal sun tolerance and smooth, slightly moist surface Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): maintains depth of skin color and relieves inflammation; an antistress vitamin Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine): protects against sun damage (continues)
Esthetic Benefits of Vitamins Vitmain B7 (biotin): maintains skin oil balance and treats skin disorders related to oil glands Vitamin B9 (folic acid): maintains and restores natural hair color Vitamin B12 (cobalamin): helps control oil flow from sebaceous glands Vitamin C: essential in skinʼs s elasticity (continues)
Esthetic Benefits of Vitamins Vitamin D: aids in skin respiration Vitamin E: slows down aging; protects cells and acts as an antioxidant Vitamin K: affects blood clotting and bruising i Vitamin P: enhances capillary strength and acts as an anti-inflammatory (continues)
Esthetic Benefits of Vitamins Calcium: required for muscle contraction, blood vessel expansion and contraction, secretion of hormones and enzymes, and transmitting impulses through nervous system Chromium: enhances the action of insulin Folate: helps produce and maintain new cells (continues)
Esthetic Benefits of Vitamins Iron: transports oxygen and is essential for regulation of cell growth and differentiation Magnesium: needed for more than 300 biochemical i reactions Selenium: incorporated into proteins to make selenoproteins, important antioxidant enzymes Zinc: helps immune system fight off invading bacteria and viruses
The Brain The Bodyʼs Command Center Sends instructions to body by way of neurostransmitters, such as serotinin and norepinephrine Tryptophan: an essential amino acid; deficiency results in agitation, restlessness, and heightened sensitivity to pain (continues)
The Brain The Bodyʼs Serotonin: the lack of serotonin results in a bad mood; high-carbohydrate foods facilitate serotonin and provide calming and relieve pain; sugar foods provide the strongest, although briefest, relief Command Center
Nutritionʼs Effects on the Body Acne: can be an indicator of poor nutrition Food sensitivities: can cause acne Food allergies: involve the immune system
Nutrition and Aging Glycation: a destructive biological process that causes the body to age. Advanced glycation end (AGE) products: particles that cross-link with other proteins and lipids and render them inactive and deformed. Glycation contributes to Alzheimerʼs disease, cataract formation, diabetes (Type II); heart disease, obesity, and premature skin aging (continues)
Nutrition and Aging Foods high in AGE: high-fat dairy, highprotein, carbohydrate-dense foods; skins of fowl exposed to high temperatures; processed foods. AGE examples: orange juice, tea, coffee, diet coke, cereals, and cakes
Maillard Reaction The process in which AGE products are produced via cooking methods that brown food; involved high-cooking temperatures
Smoking Premature aging by 10 to 20 years Chemical oxidants (continues)
Smoking 69 chemicals in tobacco smoke that cause cancer Increased skin disorders such as psoriasis, heightened risk for squamous cell carcinomas, basic cell carcinomas, and melanomas.
What We Can Do to Slow These Processes Avoid foods high in AGE content Use less heat in cooking (under 110 degrees); stewing, boiling, or poaching is better than searing, broiling, or barbecuing. Eat foods low in AGE content, such as low-fat dairy products, fish, fruit (small quantities), grains, legumes, nuts, and vegetables.
Symptoms of Stress on the Skin Dullness: stress slows the process of cell turnover Congestion: blood flow is restricted; skin becomes congested and looks lifeless Breakouts: emotions stimulate sebaceous gland activity Sensitivities and irritation: increased cortisone secretions suppress the immune system
Fight-or-Flight Flight Response When faced with a threat, the brain alerts the hypothalamus, which triggers the pituitary gland, which triggers the adrenal glands to secrete a hormone called adrenaline. Adrenaline: prepares body for emergency response; elevates heart rate Cortisol: allows body to address threatening situation
Chronic Stress Can cause sleeplessness, weight gain, anxiety, digestive problems, high cholesterol, memory loss, inability to concentrate, depression, and reduced immune system
Recognizing Stress Triggers Internal: fear, anxiety, cynicism, and perfectionism External: financial problems, toxic relationships, loss of a loved one, new job, public speaking, flying, moving to a new area, certain foods and alcohol, environment, and health
Nonfood-Related Strategies for Dealing with Stress Take slow, deep breaths. Slow down and calm down. Choose not to get angry. Take a walk and get fresh air. Choose what to do next.
