exercise (prevent from jump street)
Give an example of primary prevention
screening (catch early)
Give an example of secondary prevention
mitigate existing morbidity
Give an example of tertiary prevention
Wellness
state of complete physical, mental, and social well being - not just the absence of disease
Health
free from disease of body or mind; poor health; sickness. Presence of physical and mental health (Illness is the opposite)
encourages populations or groups to engage in healthy activities
Health promotion
activities performed for you, not by you
Health protection
Occupational, Spiritual, Physical, Emotional, Social Health
5 domains of wellness
scurvy
vitamin C deficiency
rickets
Vitamin D deficiency
Carbs, lipids, proteins, vitamins
organic nutrients
water, minerals
inorganic nutrients
ADEK
Fat soluble vitamins
Sodium, Calcium, Iron, Potassium, Magnesium, Chloride (also an electrolyte)
List the minerals - remember green veggies are a good source
carbohydrates (45-65%), proteins (10-35%), and fats (20-35%)
Macronutrients
Iron
What is the most common nutrient deficiency
maintain balance between fluids in vs. fluids out
Ways to prevent hyponatremia
Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs)
Nutritional standards that expand on RDA values and set standards for nutrients without RDA values.
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)
The daily intake level of a nutrient sufficient to meet the needs of 97-98% of healthy individuals.
Adequate Intake (AI)
The recommended average daily intake level of a nutrient based on experimentation when RDA cannot be established.
Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL)
The highest daily intake that is unlikely to cause adverse health effects.
Estimated Energy Requirement (EER)
The average dietary energy intake to maintain energy balance, based on several factors.
Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges (AMDR)
The recommended proportion of energy intake from each macronutrient.
Fruits and veggies matter more
Which diet recommends - increase fruits and veggies to 9 servings a day
DASH
Which diet decreases HTN
Exchange plan
Which diet does this describe - Used for diabetics and based on a caloric goal for a certain number of servings - 6 food groups/exchange list. Exchange lists are based on content of calories, carbs, proteins and fat
GLUCOSE
Disaccharides always have…
glycogen
Animal storage form of carbs
starch
Plants storage form of carbs
produced by the beta cells of the pancreas and promote the transport of glucose into cells as well as stimulating glucose metabolism in the liver
Tell me about insulin
produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas to stimulate the breakdown of glycogen in the liver as well as gluconeogenesis.
Tell me about glucagon
RBCs rely on glucose ONLY for energy. Brain and nervous tissue like glucose the best but will use other things. Glucose is especially important in intense exercise
Role of carbs
colon cancer, heart disease, enhances weight loss, helps with GI issues
Fiber reduces the risk of
14 g/1000 calories
Recommended dose for fiber - normal guy
triglycerides, phospholipids, sterols
Types of lipids
3 fatty acid molecules
triglyceride structure
Glycerol backbone with 2 fatty acids and a phosphate group.
Phospholipid structure (made in house)
NOPE (insoluble in H2O)
Are fats easily digestible
Very dense energy source, energy at rest, Essential for cell membrane structure, nerve cell transmissions, protection of internal organs, and retention of body heat, storage for energy, required for the absorption of ADEK
Role of fats
protect peripheral nerves from injury
Function of omega 3s
CVD and stroke (raises LDL)
Diets high in saturated fats are a risk factor for
HCON (proteins are the main source of nitrogen)
Amino acids contain
cannot be made, must be eaten
Describe essential amino acids
made in house
Describe nonessential amino acids
complete protein
has all 9 essential amino acids in sufficient amounts (high quality).
Incomplete protein
does NOT contain all the essential amino acids.
complementary foods
foods that are used as dietary sources of complementary proteins - rice, beans, peanut butter, etc.
Ultra athletes (Me running my mile at like the slowest pace on the planet)
Who is at risk for protein deficits
Marasmus
severely inadequate intakes of protein, energy, and other nutrients (basically just calories in general) resulting in severe wasting of muscle, stunted growth, stunted brain development, and anemia.
Kwashiorkor
severely low protein intake resulting in weight loss, muscle wasting, edema (distention of the belly), retarder growth and development. (often seen in developing countries)
Sodium, potassium (can affect the heart - torsades if you will)
Positively charged electrolytes (cations)
chlorides, phosphorous
Negatively charged electrolytes (anion)
Heat cramps
muscle cramping is a red flag for
heat exhaustion
Sweating, cold clammy skin, tachycardia, and hypotension are red flags for
Heat stroke
ZERO sweat, dry skin, AMS, and lack of coordination are red flags for
Blood volume, maintain body temp (water has a high heat capacity, sweating releases heat), Protects and lubricates CSF (brain and spinal cord), amniotic fluid (fetus), synovial fluid (joints), digestive secretions allow for easy passage
What is the function of fluid
fluid/electrolyte balance, maintain bp and acid-base balance, nerve impulse transmission, aids in muscle contraction, assist in transport of glucose into the cells
Functions of sodium
consume fluids at the rate of loss
How can we minimize hyponatremia during aerobic exercise
Antioxidant
chemicals that protect cells from damage caused by oxidation by giving up an electron to a free radical
Vitamin E, C, A; Selenium, beta-carotene
Examples of antioxidants
Free radicals (combat with antioxidants)
an unstable atom that has an unpaired electron - highly reactive and can cause damage to molecules in the cell
birth defects, permanent damage to liver and eyes, teratogenic
Too much vitamin A (like from supplements) can cause
night blindness
If you don’t get enough vitamin A →
cortical bone
compact bone, very dense tissues, 80% of skeleton
Trabecular bone
spongy bone, scaffolding inside that supports cortical bone, 20% of skeleton
Calcium (99% in bones)
What is the most abundant major mineral in the body?
regulate blood calcium (promotes absorption and regulates movement in/out of bone)
Functions of vitamin D (found in fortified milk)
bone remodeling
What is critical in maintaining blood calcium levels?
blood coagulation, bone metabolism
Functions of vitamin K
bleeding disorders (newborn, elderly), ecchymosis, epistaxis, oozing from wounds, GU bleeds, hematuria, rectal bleeding
Results of a vitamin K deficiency
repairs bones and teeth; mineral composition of bone (85% in the bones), fluid balance, and ATP, DNA and membrane components
Functions of phosphorus
co-factor for tons of enzymes, muscle contraction and blood clotting, supports vitamin D metabolism, makes up mineral crystals in the structure of bone, required for energy production, oxidation, production of ATP
What is the role of magnesium?
low bone mass, deterioration of bone tissues, fragile bones leading to bone fractures, compaction of bones (decreased height), shortening and hunching of the spine
Characteristics of Osteoporosis
vitamin D, calcium, weight bearing exercise, walking, build up bone levels early in life
Keys to preventing osteoporosis

Erythrocytes: RBCs for transporting oxygen through the body 45%, Leukocytes: WBCs of the immune system 0.5%, Platelets: cell fragments that assist in blood clotting 0.5%, Plasma: the fluid portion of the blood 55%
Components of blood
heme
iron that is only found in animal foods (more absorbable)
non-heme

hypothyroidism, goiter, cretinism (neonates)
Lack of iodine
blocks synthesis of thyroid hormones
Excess iodine (supplement overuse)
Iron-deficiency (microcytic, hypochromic), pernicious anemia (macrocytic - lack of intrinsic factor), Macrocytic anemia (large blood vessels, no B12/folate)
Types of anemia

carbs 130, proteins 60, avoid trans and saturated fats
Macros during pregnancy
increase in the mother’s blood volume, regulate body temp, production of amniotic fluid, combat fluid retention and constipations, and prevents UTI (no sepsis in this house)
Why should pregnant women increase fluid intake to 3 L per day?
needs are higher than that of adult women (adolescents are still growing) and are more likely to have preterm babies and low-birth weight babies
nutritional concerns for adolescent pregnancy
D, B6, B12, calcium, iron, and zinc
Vegan pregnant women should watch their
