Nutrition is the process of nourishing, especially the process by which a living organism assimilates food and uses it for growth.
Feeding is the act or process of giving or receiving nourishment.
Nutrition and Feeding
![Page 3: Feeding and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/554b69acb4c90564168b4904/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• The nutritional elements of food, which are essential for all the life processes, make food one of our basic needs.
• Carbohydrates • Lipids• Proteins• Vitamins • Water • Mineral Salts
![Page 4: Feeding and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/554b69acb4c90564168b4904/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
There are two different groups:
• Simple carbohydrates are typically sweet-tasting and are soluble in water.• To them belong:
Monosaccharide such as glucose and fructose, present in honey and fruit.
Disaccharides such as sucrose in the sugar and lactose in the milk.
Carbohydrates
are essentially energetic substances found in many daily food.

• Complex carbohydratesare formed by the union of many molecules of simple carbohydrates.
• The most important in our diet is starch, composed by many molecules of glucose.

bread, cereals, vegetables, potatoes and pasta are rich in carbohydrates.

Lipids
There are three different functions for lipids in our bodies:
• Energy storage
• Forming the membranes around our cells.
• Hormones and vitamins
are a very diverse group of substances characterized by being insoluble in water they have an oily appearance.
![Page 8: Feeding and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/554b69acb4c90564168b4904/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
olive oil, sunflower oil, nuts, cream and butter are rich in fat.
![Page 9: Feeding and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/554b69acb4c90564168b4904/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Proteins• Proteins are very important
molecules in our cells.
• Each protein within the body has a specific function.
• Some proteins are involved in structural support, while others are involved in bodily movement, or in defense against germs.
They are formed by aminoacids.
![Page 10: Feeding and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/554b69acb4c90564168b4904/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
egg proteins, milk and generally animal proteins contains a balanced mix of all
amino acids.

Vitamins
There are two types of vitamins:
Fat soluble and water soluble
When you eat foods that contain fat-soluble vitamins, the vitamins are stored in the fat tissues in your body and in your liver. They wait around in your body fat until your body needs them. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are all fat-soluble vitamins.
Your body needs them to work properly, so you grow and develop just like you should. When it comes to vitamins, each one has a special role to play.
![Page 12: Feeding and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/554b69acb4c90564168b4904/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Water-soluble vitamins are different. When you eat foods that have water-soluble vitamins, the vitamins don't get stored as much in your body. Instead, they travel through your bloodstream. Whatever your body doesn't use comes out when you urinate.
So, these kinds of vitamins need to be replaced often because they don't stick around! This crowd of vitamins includes vitamin C and the big group of B vitamins: B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), niacin, B6 (pyridoxine), folic acid, B12 and C.

Mineral Salts
Their functions are:
• Structural, are an important part of bones and teeth.
• Allow the proper functioning of the organs (nervous system, muscles)
simple inorganic chemicals that are required, as nutrients, by living organisms.

Water
The human body is two-thirds water.
• Water helps transport nutrients and waste products in and out of cells.
• Water is necessary for all digestive, absorption, circulatory, and excretory functions.
• Water is needed for the utilization of the water-soluble vitamins.
• It is needed for the maintenance of proper body temperature.
is an essential nutrient that is involved in every function of the body.

Diets• A healthy diet is one that helps maintain or
improve health.• A balanced diet involves consuming
appropriate amounts of all nutrients, and an adequate amount of water.

Mediterranean diet
Olive oil contains unsaturated fats of vegetable origin, that are more beneficial than the animal’s saturated fats found in butter.
Cereals are rich in complex carbohydrates that are helthier than the simple carbohydrates like sugar.
Legums provide a balanced supply of nutrients and dietary fiber.

Important concepts:
• Malnutrition • Obesity • Cardiovascular diseases • Bulimia• Anorexia

Malnutrition
Among the many forms of malnutrition that exist may be mentioned two:
is the condition that occurs when a person's body is not getting enough nutrients.
•Marasmus- is caused by the complete lack of food.
•Kwashiorkor- which is caused by a severe lack of protein in the diet.
![Page 22: Feeding and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/554b69acb4c90564168b4904/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Obesity
• 20% of the adult population in developed countries suffer from obesity.
• Obese people have higher risks of having other illnesses such as diabetes.
• To prevent obesity one should avoid the abusive consumption of sugars, fats and alcoholic beverages.
• Exercise or sports are important parts of a healthy lifestyle.
Is the exesive accumulation of body fat that ocurrs when the consumption of lipids and carbohydrates exceeds the nutritional needs.
![Page 23: Feeding and nutrition](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052618/554b69acb4c90564168b4904/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cardiovascular diseases
• As preventive measures one should reduce the consumption of foods rich in cholesterol such as meat, cheese, eggs, animal fats, whole milk, sausages, etc.
• To reduce the levels of cholesterol it is recommended the consumption of bluefish, like tuna or sardines.
Includes serious illnesses such as stroke or heart attack, frecuently produce by the excess of cholesterol in arteries preventing the flow of blood.

Bulimia

• This behavior can be very dangerous, and can result and very serious medical complications.
People with this illness have recurring episodes of excesive consumption of foods causing them a feeling of guilt.
