Dietary Recommendations
Calcium – 800mg 4-8 yrs; 1300mg 9-18 yrs; bone formation; prevention of osteoporosis; low-fat dairy products
Fluids – esp. during exercise
Soft drinks – increased consumption with age; overweight children
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Slide 16 :
|
Adolescents Biological, psychosocial and cognitive changes affect nutritional status
Rapid growth increases nutrient needs
Desire for independence may cause adoption of health-compromising eating behaviours |
|
|
Slide 17 :
|
Adolescents Common belief that the adolescent diet is nutritionally inadequate – is this true?
Getting taller!
Getting heavier!
Energy surplus + Reduced Activity
Micronutrient deficiency?
|
|
|
Slide 18 :
|
Adults Early = 21-39 yrs
Midlife = 40-59 yrs
Old age = 60+ yrs
Need to develop beneficial nutritional and lifestyle choices to support physical and mental health and well-being in old age |
|
|
Slide 19 :
|
Adults Growth and maturation are complete by early adulthood
Focus now on maintaining physical status, strength and avoidance of excessive weight gain
Reduce fat intake to 30% or less; limit saturated fats to less than 10%; limit cholesterol to 300 mg daily

|
|
|
|
|
Slide 25 :
|
Vegetarian and Vegans In general vegetarians have a well balanced diet
Lower mortality from some chronic diseases
Vegetarians are more likely to be ‘health conscious’ and alter other aspects of their diet and lifestyle |
|
|
|
|
Slide 27 :
|
Coeliac Coeliac’s Disease is a reaction to gluten, which causes damage to the lining of the small intestine, thereby reducing an individual’s ability to absorb enough nutrients for their needs. Gluten is found in wheat and some other cereals
250,000 diagnosed with coeliac disease in UK
500,000 undiagnosed in UK
|
|
|
Slide 28 :

|
|
|
Slide 29 :
|
Diabetics Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood is too high because the body cannot use it properly
Type 1 diabetes develops if the body is unable to produce any insulin
Type 2 diabetes develops when the body can still make some insulin, but not enough, or when the insulin that is produced does not work effectively |
|
|
Slide 30 :
|
Diabetics The diet for people with diabetes is a balanced healthy diet, the same kind that is recommended for the rest of the population
low in fat, sugar and salt
plenty of fruit and vegetables
meals based on starchy foods, such as bread, potatoes, cereals, pasta and rice |
|
|
Slide 31 :
|
Food intolerance Food allergy and food intolerance are both types of food sensitivity
Food intolerance doesn’t involve the immune system and is generally not life-threatening. But if someone eats a food they are intolerant to, this could make them feel ill or affect their long-term health
Essential to examine the label on any pre-packed food |
|
|
Slide 32 :
|
Labeling Rules Peanuts
nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, Brazil nuts, cashews, pecans, pistachios and macadamia nuts

Slide 34 :
|
Important Note
You should target your product to a particular client group bearing in mind their specific dietary requirements |
|
|
Slide 35 :
|
Carbohydrates C= carbo H2O = hydrate
Basic formula (CH2O)n
All carbohydrates are converted to glucose and absorbed into the blood
Glucose - vital fuel: n = 6 C6 H12 O6 |
|
|
Slide 36 :
|
Carbohydrates Chemically carbohydrates are defined by the number of saccharide units in their structure
Monosaccharides
Disaccharides
Oligosaccharides
Polysaccharides |
|
|
|
|
Slide 38 :
|
Dietary Carbohydrates Originate from plants – CO2 + H2O – Photosynthesis
Living animals have carbohydrates but this dissipates rapidly on death
Not all carbohydrates are digestible
1 gram of carbohydrate = 4 kcal
Starches and sugars are main sources of dietary carbohydrate |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Slide 41 :
|
Dietary sugars Intrinsic sugars: those present within intact cells e.g. Sugars in fruit
Non-milk extrinsic sugars: present in a free and readily absorbable state e.g. sucrose |
|
|
Slide 42 :
|
Requirement and intake Total carbohydrate should provide 50% energy
Non-milk extrinsic sugars should not exceed 11% energy intake
Starches, intrinsic and milk sugars should contribute to 39% energy intake |
|
|
Slide 43 :
|
Sources of dietary Carbohydrates Starches Intrinsic Sugars Milk Sugars NMES |
|
|
Slide 44 :
|
Restriction of Carbohydrate intake Atkins Diet
Low carbohydrate
Ketongenesis
GI diet
The glycaemic effect of 50g of a particular food in relation to 50g glucose
Encourages low GI foods |
|
|
Slide 45 :
|
Protein Protein = amino acid+amino acid+amino acid+amino acid…
Made of 20 different amino acids bonded together in different sequences to form many SPECIFIC proteins
Twenty amino acids are important in nutrition |
|
|
Slide 46 :
|
Amino Acid Side chain of an amino acid determines its properties (R group)
The carbon to which the carboxyl is attached is the alpha-carbon
Amino acids have 4 different groups around the alpha carbon resulting in optically active L or D isomers or enantiomers |
|
|
Slide 47 :
|
Amino Acid L-forms – proteins and biological systems
D-forms – bacteria (not mammals)
D-forms slowly absorbed in digestion
Amino acids can be positively or negatively charged according to the pH of the environment
The polarity of the amino acid indicates how the amino acid will be incorporated into proteins |
|
|
Slide 48 :
|
Classification of amino acids Essential amino acid
One that the body is unable to make or can only make in inadequate quantities
Need to be consumed from the diet
8-10 essential amino acids
Nonessential amino acid
One that the body can make in large enough quantities
Made from essential amino acids
Not necessary to consume these in the diet
10-12 nonessential amino acids
|
|
|
Slide 49 :
|
Structure of amino acid Different side chains make different amino acids |
|
|
Slide 50 :
|
Amino Acids Essential (10)
Phenylalanine
Valine
Threonine
Tryptophan
Isoleucine
Methionine
Histidine
Arginine
Leucine
Lysine
Nonessential (10)
Alanine
Asparagine
Aspartic acid
Cysteine
Glutaminc acid
Gluatmine
Glycine
Proline
Serine
Tyrosine
Conditionally essential (3)
Cysteine

|
|
|
Slide 51 :
|
Primary structure of a protein It is the sequence of amino acids that makes each protein different from the next
Dipeptide = 2 amino acids
Tripeptide = 3 amino acids
Polypeptide = many amino acids
Most proteins have many 100 amino acids
aa aa aa aa aa aa Peptide Bonds |
|
|
|
|
Slide 53 :
|
Secondary structure Alignment of polypeptides as a right-hand alpha helix
Stabilized by hydrogen bonds between carboxyl (C=O) and imido (NH) groups
|
|
|
Slide 54 :
|
Tertiary structure Three dimensional folding and coiling of polypeptide into globular 3-D structure
Caused by additional chemical interactions among side chains
Disulfide bonds
|
|
|
Slide 55 :
|
Quaternary structure Interactive folding of several polypeptide chains together to form a “single” functional protein
Functional proteins also might incorporate minerals or other nonprotein components
Final shape and components determine function of protein |
|
|
Slide 56 :
|
Nutritional importance of proteins Nutritional value of dietary proteins is determined mainly by its primary structure (i.e. amino acid composition)
Tertiary structure can influence protein digestibility
Globular proteins are generally more easily digested than filamentous proteins such as collagen, elastin and keratin |
|
|
Slide 57 :
|
Protein synthesis and amino acids Protein synthesis cannot proceed without an adequate supply of all amino acids, which contribute to the primary structure of that protein
|
|
|
Slide 58 :
|
Amino acids and protein quality The ability of a specific dietary protein to supply amino acids in the relative amounts required for protein synthesis by body tissues is defined as biological value
Influenced mainly by essential amino acid composition
Is not fixed, but varies with the needs of different species, physiological and nutritional states |
|
|
Slide 59 :
|
Biological functions of proteins Principal organic chemical constituents of body organs and soft tissues
Enormous functional diversity
Cell membrane structure and function

Make muscles work!
|
|
|
Slide 61 :
|
Enzymes Proteins that catalyze (speed up) chemical reactions without being used up or destroyed in the process
Anabolic (putting things together) and catabolic (breaking things down) functions
Example
Digestion
Salivary amylase |
|
|
Slide 62 :
|
Hormones Chemical messengers that are made in one part of the body but act on cells in other parts of the body
Note that "steroid hormones" are not proteins!
Examples
Insulin
CCK
Some reproductive hormones
|
|
|
Slide 63 :
|
Immune function (antibodies)
Antibodies are proteins that attack and inactivate bacteria and viruses that cause infection
|
|
|
Slide 64 :
|
Fluid balance Proteins in the blood help maintain appropriate fluid levels in the vascular system
Fluid is forced into tissue spaces by blood pressure generated by pumping action of the heart
Fluid returns to blood because of “osmotic pressure”
|
|
|
Slide 65 :
|
Transport proteins Transport substances in the blood
Lipoproteins (transport lipids)
Hemoglobin (transports oxygen and carbon dioxide)
Transport materials across cell membranes |
|
|
Slide 66 :
|
Source of energy Proteins are the last to be used for energy!
Occurs in starvation and low carbohydrate diets
When excess protein occurs…
Some amino acids converted to glucose which is converted to fat
|
|
|

|
|
Slide 80 :
|
Sources of fat |
|
|
Slide 81 :
|
Low or reduced fat foods Reduced fat = at least 25% less fat than the standard product
Low fat food = <3% fat/100g or 100ml
Fat free = <0.15g fat/100g or 100ml |
|
|
|
|
Slide 83 :
|
Vitamins Vitamins are essential nutrients in the maintenance of normal health and metabolic integrity
Obtained from food because your body can't make them from scratch (organic compounds)
You need only small amounts (micronutrients) because the body uses them without breaking them down, unlike what happens to carbohydrates and other macronutrients |
|
|
Slide 84 :
|
Vitamins 13 compounds have been classified as vitamins
Vitamins A, D, E, and K, the four fat-soluble vitamins, tend to accumulate in the body
Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins-biotin, folate, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, thiamin, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12-dissolve in water, so excess amounts are excreted and these are thus known as water-soluble |
|
|
Slide 85 :
|
Vitamins The "letter" vitamins sometimes go by different names. These include: Vitamin A = retinol, retinaldehyde, retinoic acid (preformed) and carotenoids (provitamin A)
Vitamin B1 = thiamin Vitamin B2 = riboflavin Vitamin B6 = pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine Vitamin B12 = cobalamin Vitamin C = ascorbic acid
Vitamin D = calciferol
Vitamin E = tocopherol, tocotrienol
Vitamin K = phylloquinone |
