1. Levels of prevention and how they apply to diet and weight management
o PowerPoint/Lecture
Primary Prevention: Implementation of a practice that is likely to prevent
disease.
Weight management is primary prevention to prevent future
disease processes related to obesity.
Secondary Prevention: Institution of monitoring techniques to discover
incipient diseases early enough to enhance the opportunity to control their
effects.
Prediabetes which can be managed with diet and exercise to
prevent or delay the onset of type II diabetes.
Tertiary Prevention: Use of treatment techniques after a disease has
occurred to prevent complications or to promote maximum adaptation.
People with dysphagia who undergo physical therapy to avoid
choking while eating.
o Textbook
Primary Prevention: Likely to avert the occurrence of disease. Difficulty
lies in motivating people to change behavior today for possible benefits in
the perhaps distant future.
Maintaining healthy body weight is a primary prevention strategy.
Secondary Prevention: If person’s risk for diabetes is found in the
prediabetes stage by testing blood sugar levels, noninvasive txs such as
weight loss and diet modification can successfully derail or delay the
development of the disease.
Tertiary Prevention: Pt’s with various diseases that cause swallowing
disorders can be helped to maintain nourishment and avoid choking
incidents with nutritional interventions.

3. 3 Categories of Nutrients
o PowerPoint/Lecture
Essential: One the human body requires but can’t manufacture in
sufficient amounts to meet bodily needs.
Non-essential: Not needed in the diet b/c the body can make them from
other substances.
Conditionally essential: Those that the body can manufacture in sufficient
quantities under most circumstances.
o Textbook
Essential: 40 total. Examples: Vit. C & A and Ca+
Nonessential: Amino acid alanine; the body makes it from other raw
materials.
Conditionally essential: A healthy person can make. In certain situations
of physiological status or disease, the body cannot produce optimal
amounts. Example: Amino acid tyrosine.
4. 6 classes of nutrients
o PowerPoint/Lecture
Carbohydrates
Fats
Proteins
Vitamins
Minerals
H2O
5. 3 functions of nutrients are and what this is called.
o PowerPoint/Lecture
Serve as a source of energy or heat
Support the growth and maintenance of tissue
Aid in the regulation of basic body processes
These 3 functions collectively known as metabolism
o Textbook
All nutrients perform 1 or more of the following functions.
The sum of all physical and chemical changes that take place in the body.
Nutrients have specific metabolic functions and interact with 1 another to
maintain the body.
Source of energy or heat
Energy = physical sciences as the capacity to do the work.
Forms = electric, thermal (heat), chemical, mechanical and others.
All food enters the body as chemical energy and then the body
processes and converts.
Measured in kilocalories (kcal)
Growth and Maintenance of Tissue
H2O, proteins, fats, and minerals contribute in a major way to
build body structures.
Regulation of Body Processes
Certain minerals and proteins help regulate how H2O is
distributed in the body.
Vitamins are necessary. Not energy sources but if lacks a
particular vitamin it will not produce energy efficiently.
6. Meaning of Recommended Dietary Allowance
o PowerPoint/Lecture
Intake that meets the needs of 97-98% of individuals in the defined group.
Defined group = US population
Formed because we had enough food but the food we were eating didn’t
have enough nutrients to maintain health.
Bread enriched with thiamine, niacin, iron, and riboflavin
(Wonder Bread)
7. Types of Monosaccharides
o PowerPoint/Lecture
Contain 1 molecule of C6H1206 (Carbon, hydrogen, and O2)
Glucose: What is measured for blood sugar
Fructose: The sweetest, found in fruits and honey. Most controversial
sugar b/c of the issues surrounding high fructose corn syrup and diabetes
link. Countries that use have 20% increased incidence in diabetes.
55lb/year consumption rate. Other countries consume 1lb/year.
Galactose: Derived from the lactose in milk products
Building blocks of all other carbs.
All are converted to glucose for energy needs.
o Textbook
Building blocks of all carbs.
Glucose
Major form of sugar in the blood
Body readily converts all forms of sugar consumed to it.
Also called dextrose.
Normal FBS is 70-100 mg/100 mm
Impaired fasting glucose: 100-125 mg/100 mm
Fructose
Used in soft drinks, canned foods, and processed foods.
Galactose
Mainly from the breakdown of milk sugar lactose.
Yogurt and unaged cheese
Least sweet
8. Disaccharides and their constituents
o PowerPoint/Lecture
Two-linked Monosaccharides
Sucrose: Table sugar, glucose and fructose paired
Lactose: Milk sugar, glucose, and galactose paired
Maltose: Occurs during starch digestion, glucose + glucose
o Textbook
Sucrose: Most prevalent. White table sugar; Brown, granulated;
Powdered; Molasses/Maple Syrup; Fruits & Veggies.
Lactose: Occurs naturally only in milk. “Milk sugar”. Least sweet.
Maltose: Double sugar. Produced when body breaks starches into simpler
units. Present in malt, malt products, beer, infant formulas, and sprouting
seeds.
9. What basic molecule results when monosaccharides are broken down.
o PowerPoint/Lecture
ALWAYS GLUCOSE! Everything gets converted to it.
10. Functions of carbs in the body
o PowerPoint/Lecture
Fuel: Recommended dose is 130g/deciliter or 45-65% of what you eat
should be carbs.
Protein sparing: Keeps the body from catabolizing the muscle.
Prevents ketosis: Byproducts of fat and protein metabolism
Enhanced learning and memory: Blood glucose levels regulate neural and
behavioral processes, high levels of blood sugar can increase the incidence
of mild cognitive impairment or dementia.
If you don’t have enough carbs body will eat muscle (including heart and
causing MI). Protein leads to glucagon leads to glucose and this occurs
when you don’t have enough carbs and then don’t get enough protein.
o Textbook
Fuel: Primary source is carbs. Brain is a carb-dependent organ and must
have an uninterrupted, ongoing source.
Spare Body Protein: When too few carbs are eaten, the body suffers.
Continuous supply of glucose is required for all cells to function,
particularly CNS. Glycogen stores are limited and once depleted the body
can convert protein to glucose. Body breaks down muscle tissue before fat
stores if carb intake is inadequate.
Prevent Ketosis: If carb intake is too low the body will breakdown stored
fat and internal protein to meet fuel needs. Body can’t handle excessive
breakdown b/c it lacks equipment. Partially broken-down fats accumulate
in the blood as ketones = state of ketosis. Survival is possible but good
health is not! Ketosis causes fatigue, N, and lack of appetite. Coma and
death occur in severe cases. 130g is usually enough to prevent!
Enhance Learning and Memory: Glucose consumed early in the morning
facilitates specific forms of cognitive function especially verbal
declaration memory. Eating breakfast = higher test scores. Diets high in
carbs increase the incidence of mild cognitive impairment or dementia in
elderly.
11. Minimum RDI of Carbs

o Textbook
KEYSTONES PG. 44
Carbs are composed of sugars and starches
Average American’s intake of sugar is excessive but intake of
starches are low.
Benefit from increasing fiber intake through whole-grain starches,
fruits, and veggies.
Carbs promote tooth decay in susceptible individuals
ADA exchange lists contain carbs = starch, veggie, fruits, and milk
lists.
Strong evidence exists that min of 130g of carbs per day is
necessary for adequate brain and body function
When no or little carbs in diet and body uses protein or fat as a fuel
source, the body effect cannibalizes itself for glucose. Muscle and
organ mass is lost in process.
RDA for CHO is 130g of carbs a day. Pregnant and lactating have
a higher RDA for CHO.
Fats exchange list
Milk: Varies according to type. Whole milk = 8, 2% = 5, Nonfat =
Trace.
Meat: 1 lean meat = 0-3 g, 1 med. Fat meat = 4-7g, 1 high fat meat
= 8 or more g
Keystones on pg. 60

molecules w/o forming double bonds btwn neighboring carbons.
Unsaturated Fatty Acids: Carbon molecules are connected w/ double
bonds, it could feasibly take on more hydrogen
Monosaturated fats: A fatty acid w/ only 1 double bond btwn 2 carbon
atoms.
Polyunsaturated Fats: A fatty acid w/ more than 1 double bonded pairs of
carbon atoms.

lipids that promote blood clotting, induce inflammation and cause SmM
contraction. Can also form leukotrienes, which are 1 of the most potent
inflammatory agents in the human organism.
Linolenic decrease the risk of heart disease by helping to maintain normal
heart rhythm and heart pumping, it might also reduce blood clots, although

Provision of structure: Contractile proteins found in muscle and fibrous
proteins, such as collagen, make up the vast majority of the body’s mass
Maintenance and growth: Anabolism builds up tissue and catabolism tears
down tissue both processes happen at the same time in the body for
maintenance and growth. Nitrogen balance is maintained when this
process is in equilibrium.
Regulation of body processes: Enzymes, hormones, DNA, and RNA are
proteins that regulate body processes.
Immunity: Antibodies are produced in the body as a result of the presence
of foreign substances. There is a specific antibody for every foreign
substance encountered.
Circulation: Albumin maintains blood volume by drawing fluid back into
veins from body tissues. This helps regulate blood pressure.
Energy source: Used as a source of back up energy for the brain and spinal
cord when glucose isn’t readily available, a process called
gluconeogenesis.

into tyrosine b/c the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase is missing.
If left untreated, irreversible brain damage can occur w/i the first 2 weeks
of life.
Special formulas are prescribed that lack excessive amounts of
phenylalanine to prevent build up in the baby’s system.
o Textbook
Older adults showed improvement w/ individualized diet and/or
medication therapy.
Diet
Avoidance of excess phenylalanine
8-10% of protein prescribed should be as tyrosine b/c tyrosine
supplements alone won’t prevent mental retardation.
