![]() Trans fat raise 'bad' LDL cholesterol and have no place in a healthy diet. Trans fats are often described as poison. There is also an unnatural type of fat known as trans fats. As with essential amino acids, the term essential means that the human body cannot produce it and we must get these from our diet. There are also important essential fatty acids, namely omega-3 and omega-6. (f) Saturated fats tend to come from animal sources, while most plant fats are unsaturated. (e) Dietary fats include saturated and un-saturated fats. (d) Fats should account for \ of the daily calories. (c) Fats support the absorption of fat soluble vitamins, cushion organs, and acts as largest form of energy storage. (b) In the body, fats make up cell membranes, steroids, cholesterol, and \ of the brain. (a) Fat is the densest source of energy in the diet. ![]() One won't develop a protein deficiency on a plant-based diet as long as one eats a balanced died that combines plant foods with different amino acids. Nuts, seeds, grains and vegetables, are called incomplete proteins because they do not contain all nine essential amino acids together, as meats, eggs and dairy products do. (e) The body creates hormones like leptin, immune proteins like interferon and antibodies using amino acids. (d) Enzymes that catalyze the various chemical reactions in the body are made of folded chains of amino acids. They even envelop and transport some molecules to other locations in the body. ![]() (c) Protein embeds themselves in cells to regulate what goes in and out. Histidine is unique in that it is only required during infacy. These include histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. Of the 22 amino acids that make up proteins, nine are called 'essential' amino acids, which means that our bodies do not produce them and must get them from food. (b) During digestion, protein is broken down into smaller chains called polypeptides and individual units called amino acids for absorption. (a) Protein is the building block responsible for the growth and maintenance of eyes, skin, hair, nails, organs, and muscle tissue. Breads, cereals, pasta, rice, beans and peas, and starchy vegetables such as potatoes, green peas, corn honey, candy, soft drinks, and frosting or icing are sources of carbohydrates. (f) Sources of Carbohydrates: The best carbohydrates are micronutrients dense whole foods that contain sugar or starches along with fiber. (e) Humans don't produce the enzymes necessary to digest fiber. (d) Adults should get between \ their daily calories from carbohydrates. Foods like whole wheat pasta and white potatoes contain complex carbohydrates. They can be either starches or fiber (cellulose from plants). Complex carbohydrates are long chains of simple sugars stuck together, also called polysaccharide. Honey and maple syrup contain simple sugars, as well as other nutrients. Simple carbohydrates include sugars like table sugar and high fructose corn syrup, which have one or two sugar molecules (mono-disaccharides). (c) Carbohydrates come in two forms plex and simple. (b) Body uses carbohydrates to fuel the body. (a) Carbohydrates include starches, starches, sugars, and fiber. The amounts of different macro-nutrients a person needs as well as the ratio of nutrients to each other varies by age, lifestyle (sedentary, active, or very active), gender, health status, and health goals. The three macro-nutrients are protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Macronutrients are defined as chemical substances required in large amounts by the body for survival. ![]() Explain macro-nutrients and their role in our diet. ![]()
