Also called nutrients nutrients, the nutrients are substances in food that are needed for the organism can grow and develop properly in accordance with their functions. Nutrients in food breakdown of the results obtained by the digestive system. and often called by the term sari-sari food.. Different types of nutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. the Nutrients your body needs to be able to move, grow, and develop.If we lack or unbalanced then as a result of our unhealthy body & finally fell ill.
Let's understand one by one this term...
Carbohydrates
The foods we eat contain different types of carbohydrates. The type of the type of carbs is no better for our health than other types of carbohydrates.Carbohydrates are produced from H2O CO2dan synthesis with the help of sunlight and green leaves (chlorophyll) through photosynthesis. Carbohydrates are a source of calories for heterotrophic organisms (living things which can not create your own food).
Type of type of kabohidrat among others are:
~ Sugar.
The sugar naturally found in fruits, vegetables, and milk. Foods such as cakes and biscuits have artificial sweeteners or added sugars also called. The sugar we get natural Hawk or gained from an extra sugar can all be converted to glucose, or blood sugar. Our cells burn glucose for energy, and honor.
~ The substance of flour.
Flour in substance in our body are broken down into sugar. Substance of flour can be found in certain vegetables, such as potatoes, beans, peas, and corn. It is also found in breads, cereals, and grains.
~ Fiber.
Fiber is a carbohydrate that cannot be digested by our bodies. The fibers pass through the body without being broken down into sugar. Although our bodies do not get energy from fibre, we still need to consume fibre to stay healthy. Fiber helps to get rid of excess fat in the intestines, which helps prevent heart disease. Fiber also help push food through the intestines, which helps prevent constipation. Foods high in fiber ialahbuah-buahan, vegetables, beans, peas, whole grains, and whole grain foods (such as whole wheat bread, oatmeal, and brown rice).
Although our body requires glucose, but we need to keep it balanced. If the levels of glucose in the blood is high in vulnerable for a long time, then we could potentially for developing type 2 diabetes. To keep blood glucose, we need to limit foods with added sugar. We can tell if a food has been adding sugar by looking at the list of ingredients on the food packaging.
Look for terms such as, corn, Dekstrosa, fructose, glucose, lactose, Maltose, Sucrose, honey, sugar, brown sugar, and syrup.
Should we consume carbohydrates, healthy and natural.
Healthy carbs are, among others, are:
Natural sugar fruits, vegetables, milk, and dairy products, fibers and starchy Substances in foods of wheat, beans, peas, and corn.
Protein
Protein is an important part of the bones, muscles, and skin. Even in every cell in our body are proteins. Proteins have many functions, among others, is to help break down nutrients into energy, as for building structures in the body, and destroys the toxins.Protein is made up of building blocks called amino acids. Our bodies can produce some amino acids.
The protein that we get from meat and other animal products contain all the amino acids we need. Protein from meat and other animal products is also referred to as a complete protein. Unlike with the Vegetable proteins do not contain all the amino acids we need, to complement the amino acids we need we need to consume some plant foods so that we obtain a complete amino acids we need.
Some sources of protein:
Fish, shellfish, poultry, red meat (beef, pork, lamb), eggs, nuts, peanut butter, whole grains, soy products (tofu, tempeh, veggie burgers), milk and products made from milk (cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt)
Fat
In order for our body remains stable, our bodies also need fat. Fat has a function inter alia as an energy source, producing substances substances needed by the body, and helps the body absorb certain vitamins from food. Not all fatty foods are good for our health. Fat that is good for us consumption is monounsaturated fats (monounsaturated) and plural unsaturated fats (polyunsaturated). By consuming unsaturated fats we can minimize will be stricken with heart disease.
Foods containing monounsaturated fats: Olive oil, peanut oil, canola oil, and avocado.
foods that have a plural unsaturated fat content height:corn oil, cotton seed oil, and soybean oil.
This type of fat is not good for our health are saturated fat and trans that can increase the risk of heart disease by causing a buildup of fatty substances in the arteries that can inhibit oxygen-rich blood flow to the heart of the us. This fat can also increase the risk of stroke by causing a buildup of fatty substances in the arteries become channels blood flow to our brains. A study also shows that by consuming lots of trans fats may increase the risk of breast cancer.
Foods that have high saturated fat content among other red meat (beef, pork, lamb), poultry, butter, milk, coconut oil, palm oil. While trans fat can we encounter on some fried foods such as crackers, Donuts, and fries.
Just as saturated fat and trans fat are also less Cholesterol. is good for our health, which can also increase the risk of heart attack. Also we can find cholesterol red meat (beef, pork, lamb) meat and poultry.
Although the monounsaturated fats and unsaturated fats are good for your health we are plural, yet we still regularly in consuming these fats. Because if fat continues to grow we will experience the body fatness that can be at risk of developing other diseases such as diabetes and obesity.
Vitamins
Vitamins are complex compounds, a substance that is desperately needed by our bodies for cleaner settings or the process of the activity of the body. Without vitamins humans, animals and other living creatures will not be able to implement life and vitamin deficiencies can cause enlarge opportunities affected by illness in our bodies.
Vitamin based on solubility in water:
-Vitamins soluble in water: Vitamin B and Vitamin C
-Vitamins that are not soluble in water: vitamins A, D, E, and K or Vitamin ADEK.
Minerals
Understanding minerals: Minerals are inorganic substances and needed by the body to help with a variety of activities that occur in the body, such as muscles, circulatory work, blood clotting, and others.Same thing with vitamins, minerals are substances that are found in foods that our bodies need for growth and health. There are two types of minerals: macrominerals and trace minerals. Macrominerals is a mineral that your body needs larger amounts, namely calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and chloride. While the trace mineral composed of iron, copper, iodine, zinc, fluoride, and selenium.
Water
Water is an important part of our body. Even more than 70 percent of our body consists of water.Some of the functions:
~ Wet tissues, such as around the mouth, eyes, and nose
~ Set your body temperature
~ As our joint Bearing
~ Help our bodies get nutrients.
So friends, some of the nutrients that are essential for our body in another occasion we will discuss about the source of vitamin functions in body & as a result if the shortage as well as not less importance of discussing Sources of minerals, functions in the body, due to the lack of Consequences If & If excess. Are they a series of necessary nutrients for our body...
