Chapter 11: Water
Intracellular vs. extracellular fluid
Intracellular fluid (ICF): Maintain a specific balance
Within the cells
Largest fluid compartment in the body
Contains potassium, proteins, various acid
Extracellular fluid
Outside the cells
Contains sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate solutions
Role of sodium-potassium pump
The sodium-potassium pump is protein in the cell membrane
Transports sodium ions out of a cell while moving potassium ions inside the cell
This active transport of ions requires energy
For every three sodium ions pumped out of the cell, two potassium ions are transported into the cell
What hormones/enzyme play a role in the reabsorption of water and sodium as it relates to RAAS
Diuresis
Sodium and water reabsorption by the kidneys are controlled by what hormones
ADH & Aldosterone
Fluid needs for men and women (on average)
Adult women: Approximately 9 cups of fluid per day
Adult men: Approximately 13 cups of fluid per day
People who are very active have higher water requirements
What impacts fluid needs?
Physical activity
Environmental factors
Diet
What stimulates the thirst mechanism?
ADH
Blood volume drops
Hypothalamus detects decrease in blood pressure and increase in concentration of salts
Thirst mechanism and fluid intake are stimulated
Chapter 14: Body Composition
What is energy balance? Who is likely to be in positive energy balance?
When the kilocalories you consume meet your needs
Weight is stable
Periods of growth (pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence)
What are the pros and cons of the different methods of body composition?
Examples:
Hydrostatic weighing
Air displacement plethysmograph (BodPod)
DEXA
BIA
Skinfold Caliper
Accuracy, cost, ease of use, accessibility
Components of TDEE, what is the greatest predictor of TDEE
TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)
Greatest predictor = body size (height and weight)
Components
Age
Gender
Body mass
Genes
Ethnicicity
Nutritonal State
Lean body mass
Environmental temperature
Caffine & Nicotine intake
Emotional & Physical stress
How to measure energy expenditure at home
Harris Benedict Equation
Based on gender, height, weight and age
Various assessment tools for measuring body composition
Hydrostatic weighing is expensive and access is limited
Skinfold tests are easy, inexpensive, but have risk for human error
BIA not extremely accurate
BMI Categories
Underweight (<18.5)
Normal Weight (18.5-24.9)
Overweight (25-29.9)
Obesity (30-39.9)
Severe obesity (>40)
HAES/IE:- (Written)
Healthy at Every Size
What does the HAES movement promote?
Eating in a flexible manner that values pleasure and honors internal cues of hunger, satiety, and appetite.
Finding the joy in moving one’s body and becoming more physically vital.
Accepting and respecting the natural diversity of body sizes
What factors impact weight?
Genetics
Diseases and drugs
Environment
What are the potential impacts of weight-focused interventions (refer to HAES PPT, ex: increased risk of osteoporosis)
Weight cycling
Increased risk for osteoporosis
Increased risk for psychological stress and cortisol production
Increased anxiety about weight
Weight gain
Eating disorder behaviors
Stigmatization and discrimination against fat individuals
Nutrition & Fitness:
FITT Principle
Can help you design a fitness program
Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
Pre-workout/Post workout-what macronutrients would be ideal and be able to give an example
Pre-workout = Carbohydrates
Example -
Post workout = Protein and carbohydrates
Example -
Hydration- symptoms of dehydration, best way to monitor hydration
Symptoms:
Fatigue
Muscle soreness
Poor recovery from workout
Headaches
Nausea
Dark urine
Urine color is the best way to monitor
Understand the role of the types of PA (muscular strength, cardiovascular fitness etc.)
Cardiovascular fitness
Improve cardiorespiratory endurance
Improve body composition
Reduces stress
Reduces risk of heart disease
Strength training
Improves muscle strength
Improves muscle endurance
Improves body composition
Stetching
Improves flexibility
Understand what types of energy systems that are used during exercise. Consider the use of fat versus glucose in exercise
Carbohydrate is the primary energy source during high intensity
Glucose and glycogen increase as intensity increases
Fat is the primary energy source during low intensity exercise
Recommendations for amount of PA
Carbohydrates
60-90 mins moderate intensity = 5-7g
1-3 hr moderate intensity = 7-12g
4-6+ hrs extreme endurance = 10-13g
Fats
20-35% of calories
Protein (after workout)
Endurance athletes = 1.2-1.4 g/kg body weight
Resistance/strength training = 1.4-1.8 g/kg body weight
Lifecycle Nutrition:
Increased nutrient needs in pregnancy-carbohydrate needs in pregnancy (grams)
Folate
Iron
Zinc
Copper
Calcium
Vitamin D
Carbs = minimum of 175g
Protein = minimum of 71g (90-100g is better)
What fat-soluble vitamin is associated with birth defects?
Vitamin A
Weight gain goals during pregnancy
Pregnancy BMI > Recommended WG
18.5-24.9 25-35 lbs
Avg = 27.5 lbs
Complications of pregnancy (PICA, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia)
PICA
Craving non-food substances
Gestational Diabetes
High glucose levels during pregnancy
Results in macrosomia (high weight babies)
Increased risks for jaundice, breathing problems, birth defects
Risk Factors: Age, Weight, Prediabetes
Preeclampsia
Hypertension, severe edema, and protein losses in urine; deprives fetus of oxygen and nutrient rich blood from the placenta
#1 cause of death in mothers during pregnancy
Know risk factors for GDM
Weight, Age, Prediabetes, Ethnicity, hx of GDM, fam hx of DM, previous delivery of large baby at birth
How do we screen for GDM?
Screening conducted between 24-28 weeks
1 hour and 3 hour OGTT
1 hour OGTT is a screener (not fasted)
3 hour OGTT is a diagnostic test (fasted)
If it's above 140 mg/dL after 1 hour test, women have to go back for 3 hr
After 3 hours you are diagnosed with GDM if you fail 2 of these:
Fasting: Less than 95 mg/dL
1-hour: Less than 180 mg/dL
2-hours: Less than 155 mg/dL
3-hours: Less than 140 mg/dL
If someone were to have gestational diabetes what would you recommend for them
Monitor blood sugar
Managing blood sugar levels
Regular exercise
Balanced diet
Limit sugary and processed foods
Eat fiber
Calorie needs during each trimester and during lactation
2nd Trimester = 340 kilocalories
3rd Trimester = 450 kilocalories
Breastfeeding = 500 kilocalories in first 6 months, 400 kcals in second 6 months
Concerns associated with young mothers and women of advanced maternal age
Teenage mothers face nutritional challenges
Older mothers are higher risk for complications (35+)
Breastfeeding, benefits, and associated hormones
Prolactin: Stimulates milk production
Oxytocin: Releases milk for infant to receive through the nipple “letdown response”
Helps return mother’s uterus to normal size and shape
Colostrum - yellow, high in protein and vitamin A
Protects against bacteria, viruses, fungi
Decreases diarrhea, intestinal and respiratory disorders, ear infections
Brain development
Exclusive breastfeeding for 1-6 months
Reduces blood loss and ovarian/breast cancer for mothers
