2.1 What do you eat?
In the food which you eat you can find nutrients.
Nutrients are substances in your food that provides your body with energy and materials.
There are 6 nutrients: Carbohydrates, Proteins, Fats, Minerals, Vitamins, Water.
Food and energy
The calorie is the unit for energy.
The amount of energy in food is measured in Joules. 1 Kilojoule= 1000 Joule
1 Kcal= 4.2 kJ
What would your body need energy for?
We need energy to let our heart beat, grow and repair tissues. How much is enough?
Depends on:
Age
Whether the person is growing.
How active they are
And more…
Why do you need food?
We need a balanced diet. We need the right amounts of the following nutrients (things our body need):
Carbohydrates
Proteins
Fats
Minerals
Vitamins
Water
Food,Drinks and nutrients
Food and drinks : Can you give examples?
Food,Drinks and nutrients
Inside food and drinks you will find nutrients.
What are they?
Nutrients: substances in food and drinks that are useful for your body. E.g. carbohydrates, fats.
Functions of nutrients
Carbohydrates: Mainly to provide energy. (Also building blocks and reserves.) 45-65% of daily calories (Lots in: bread, rice, pasta.) Composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen
Simple carbohydrates (sugars) release energy quickly. Too much sugars are stored as fat
Complex carbohydrates (starch) release energy slowly.
Fats: Mainly to provide energy. (Also building blocks and reserves.) Protects your organs and insulate your body. Composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen (Lots in: Mayonnaise, Nuts, Butter.)
3 types:
No more than 30% of calorie intake must come from fats
Saturated fats: Usually solid at room temperature. e.g. fat in meat, butter
Unsaturated fats: Usually liquid at room temperature. e.g. cooking oils
Functions of nutrients
Trans fats: are made by adding hydrogen to vegetable oils. Trans fats and saturated fats are most unhealthy, (can cause heart disease, cancer)
Cholesterol is a fatlike substance which is an essential component of cell membranes.
It’s also needed to make certain hormones and Vitamin D. Your liver makes it. To high fat and cholesterol can lead to blocked blood vessels which could cause heart disease.
Functions of nutrients
six types: carbohydrates, fats, proteins,
vitamins, minerals and water.
Proteins: For growth, tissue repair. Also for energy
(Lots in: Fish, Nuts, Eggs, Dairy products.)
Composed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen
and nitrogen. 10-35% of daily calories
animal proteins (from animal sources)
plant proteins ( from plant sources) Beans and
nuts contain a lot of plant proteins.
Vitamins: Protective, prevent you from becoming ill, helper molecule in your body chemical reactions. A few vitamins can be made by the body, like Vitamin D
(Lots in Fruit, Butter, Fish.)
Fat soluble (Vit. ADEK): dissolve in fat. Are stored in fat in your body
Water soluble ( Vit B and C): Are dissolved in water (cannot be stored in body!) You need a daily intake.
Minerals (salts): Mainly building blocks. (Calcium in bones and iron for red blood cells, magnesium for muscles and nerves) Also protective.
(Lots in: Tofu, Fish, Milk.)
Functions of nutrients
Functions of nutrients
Water ( 65% of the body): Mainly building blocks. Functions include: transport.
Water helps to regulate body temperature and remove wastes (Lots in Fruit, Vegetables, Milk.)
Drink about two litres of water a day!
Roughage (fibre) is a complex carbohydrate in plants; is not a nutrient. It makes defecation easier. (Lots in vegetables, fruits, grains)

Energie
What will happen if you eat more energy than you use, every day?
You exercise the sports below for one hour and twice a week.
How many calories do you burn per week? Calculate for each sport and take the average amount of calories per sport.
Amount of energy used per sport per 30 min.
Answer:
Volleyball: 4x 30 min. per week so 4x average (=90+113 divided in two= 101,5) so 4x 101,5= 406 cal.
Golf: 4 x 152= 608 cal.(4x 30 min.)
Dancing: 4x 162= 648 cal.
Backpacking: 4x 236,5= 946 cal.
Basketball: 4x 270= 1080 cal.
Soccer: 4x 337,5= 1350 cal.
Hygiene and safety
What can happen if you eat food
that is over the expiry date?
What can you do to prevent bacteria on food from multiplying quickly?
Write down three food hygiene rules and formulate them as don’ts. For example: don’t undercook meals.

2.2 Making healthy choices
Write down in your notebook everything you ate and drank yesterday.
Use pic collage, canva or something similar. To put every food in the correct group. Check your answers
2.3 Break it down
How does our food go from gums to bums, and what happens on the way?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gY-zXsUYgs
What difficult words did you see and what
can you tell me about them?
processing food
Your body processes food in 4 different stages.
1 ingestion: getting food inside your mouth
2 digestion: food must be broken down into very small particles that can enter the bloodstream. ( digestion is not needed for water, vitamins and minerals)
3 absorption: the process of getting small food particles into your bloodstream.
4 elimination: to pass unused parts of your food out of your body as waste.
Digestion and enzymes
Mechanical digestion is the first step of digestion. Write down words from the following video which refer to mechanical digestion? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc1ek8msnEQ
Chemical digestion: small food parts get even smaller
In your mouth saliva ( digestive juice) is mixed with your food and contains enzymes (amylase). Saliva is produced by salivary glands.
Enzymes: are special types of proteins that speeds up the chemical digestion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBgRqiOjG1U ( 3 min.)
Enzymes
In your mouth Amylase helps to break down large chains of starch into glucose particles.
Enzymes
In your stomach another enzyme breaks down proteins in amino acids ( building blocks of proteins)
In your intestine the digestion of carbohydrates and proteins goes on. An enzyme helps to break down fats into fatty acids and glycerol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO244P1e9QM

To summarize the final products of digestion are:
glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, glycerol, water,
vitamins and minerals.

2.4 Organizing digestion
There are several organs through which food travels
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og5xAdC8EUI
digestive track 4 min.
Through which organs
does the food
not travel?
Answer: Organs that are very important in digestion but food does not pass through them are: salivary glands, liver, gallbladder and pancreas.
Oesophagus: Is the muscular tube which moves food into your stomach. Portions of food are squeezed into your stomach.
Peristalsis is the muscular movement by which food is moved through the entire digestive tract
The stomach
Is a muscular bag in which food spends from 2-4 hours
It is in between the oesophagus and the intestines
At the lower end the pylorus ( a special muscular ring) controls the flow of the food
Mechanically: peristalsis Chemically: gastric juices
Gastric acid in your stomach destroy bacteria which are on the food.
In the stomach there is a lining which prevents damage
Acidity
Gastric acid has PH 1-2
The duodenum
Use the internet to search for the word duodenum. What does it stand for?
Which fluids enter the
duodenum?
Answer: duodenum stands for twelve; its length is the width of 12 vingers. Here enters: pancreatic juice and bile
Liver and Gallbladder.
Liver: makes a substance that breaks up fat particles, called bile
Bile is stored in the gallbladder and does not aid in the chemical digestion of fat.
The small intestine
Absorption: The process by which nutrient molecules pass through the wall of your digestive system into your blood
The small intestine is well designed for absorbing products of digesting e.g. amino acids because:
1- It is long 5-7 metres (big surface area).
2- It has a thin wall (so food molecules pass through easily.)
3- It has a good blood supply to transport the needed molecules away.
4- It has thousands of villi to increase the surface area even more.
Villi are fingerlike projections (1mm long) on the folds.
hepatic portal vein = poortader
Via this vein nutrient rich blood travels from the small intestine to the liver
Clean before use
The hepatic portal vein carries blood from the digestive system to the liver; it contains healthy nutrients but also dangerous materials like pesticides on vegetables and alcohol.
The liver filters the toxins out of the blood
so nutrients can be safely used by cells.
Toxins collected by the liver are excreted by the kidneys
The large intestine
Large intestine ( 1,5 meters): the large intestine eliminates materials that are not absorbed like water and undigested food.
Water is absorbed into the bloodstream and the remaining materials are eliminated from the body.
contains bacteria which are helpful because they make vitamins, like vitamin K.
Large intestine/ anus
The large intestine ends in the rectum which is a small tube where waste material ( faeces) is pressed into solid form.
Anus: a muscular opening at the end of the rectum. Through this opening (anus) waste material is eliminated from the body.
Bacteria in your large intestine
Bacteria are everywhere. Some make you sick and others like in your large intestines live in symbiosis with you
Symbiosis means that you benefit from each other.
Bacteria feed on undigested materials as cellulose fibres and make vitamin K and B.
What is the downside to the fact that bacteria break down undigested material? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btV4K9JMVEQ

2.5 Taking out the rubbish
Your body has to get rid of waste every day otherwise toxic substances build up and damage organs.
Excretion is the process by which excretion organs remove waste from your body. Kidneys ( urinary system) are most important.
