Hello Nutritionists!
I hope your weekend was full of healthy foods......:)
Today we are going to take a look at one more brainpop movie and food type, fats. Again, watch it once all the way through, then again taking notes. Share and compare your notes with a classmate to make sure you did not miss anything important. We will be having a brief quiz next Tuesday over the three brainpop movies we have recently watched: nutrition, carbohydrates and fats. We will then start a project in small groups.
Today, to watch the video on fats, click here.
After watching the video, answer the following questions in a post.
1. Explain the following terms in your own words:
glycerol
glucose
fatty acids
saturated fats
unsaturated fats
cholesterol
trans fats
2. What are three things your body needs fats for?
3. Where does your body produce cholesterol and what is it used for?
4. How is a heart attack and a stroke different?
5. Reflective: Do you think about fat in your own diet? How often do you look at labels for food you eat? Do you ever choose not to eat something because of the fat content?
6. Extension: We have looked at carbohydrates and fats. Do a little investigation on proteins. Think about what you have learned about fats and carbohydrates.
A. Find out what your body uses proteins for. What foods provide protein? What are the benefits of protein in your diet? Are there any dangers from eating too much protein?
B. How do proteins compare with fats and carbohydrates. In other words, what do they have in common or how are they different?
Happy Learning!

glycerol- Glycerol is a group that the fats go into
ReplyDeleteglucose- Glucose is a kind of sugar
fatty acids- Fatty acids is another group that fats go into
saturated fats- Saturated fats are in dairy and meats and has a lot of cholesterol in it
unsaturated fats- Unsaturated fats are usually liquids
cholesterol- Cholesterol is a kind of fat that
is not good to have a lot of
trans fats- Trans fats are high cholesterol
------------------------------------------------
The three things your body needs fats for is to grow muscle, body temperature and construct body tissue.
------------------------------------------------
Your body produces cholesterol in your liver and it is used for breaking them down so there isn't to many going into your veins and clogging them.
------------------------------------------------
A heart attack is an attack of the heart and a stroke is on the brain.
------------------------------------------------
I don't really focus on the fats in my diet because I usually don't know what they are in and how much there is. I rarely ever look at the nutrition labels and I just eat what I want to eat. I don't really care about them.
------------------------------------------------
Proteins are large, complex molecules that play many critical roles in the body. They do most of the work in cells and are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body’s tissues and organs. It's unlikely you'll hurt yourself in the short term by eating a lot of protein, but there is a possibility that you can hurt your body.

Question 1: Explain the words below.
ReplyDeleteGlycerol: is made to make glucose.
Glucose: is the main source of fuel for your body.
Fatty acids: the body uses fatty acids as a source of energy for the body. However, these fatty acids can give one's body more Glucose than it really needs which can build into body fat.
Saturated fats: can be found in dairy products and meat products. Saturated fat is bad because it contains a lot of cholesterol.
Unsaturated fats: can be found in vegetable oils and other products like that and are usually considered good for you because these substances are easyer to digest.
Cholesterol: is a fatty acid that can be found in every animal tissue. If you eat too many fats, then the cholesterol will build up in your body and it will stick to the sides of your blood vessels.
Trans fat: is another substance that contains high cholesterol. Hydronaited vegetable oils have a lot of trans fat.

ReplyDeleteGlycerol: Glycerol is one of the two things that fat is broken into it is used to create Glucose.
Glucose: Glucose is the main form of fuel in the body.
Fatty Acids: Fatty Acids are the other of the two things that fat is broken into. Muscles use them as energy.
Saturated Fats: Saturated fats are found in meat and dairy products because that it is found in all animal tissue.
Unsaturated Fats: Unsaturated Fats are fats that are found in vegetable oils.
Cholesterol: Cholesterol is a fatty acid found in cell membranes of all animal tissue.
Trans Fats: Trans Fats are another type of fats with especially high levels of cholesterol.
2.
Your body needs fats for energy, making new cells and repairing old ones.
3.
Your body produces cholesterol when you eat animal cells and it is used to help cells stay healthy.
4.
A heart attack and a stroke are different because that they trigger different parts of the body, even though they are caused the same way.
5.
Do you think of fat in your own diet? No, I don’t.
How often do you look at labels for food you eat? I don’t.
Do you ever choose not to eat something because of the fat content? No.
6.
A. Your body uses proteins to help maintain and replace the tissues in your body. Your muscles, organs and many of your hormones are made up of proteins.
B. Proteins compare to fats and carbs

5. no i do not.
6.proteins come from dairy and meats . we use protiens to keep in sterength and help build musculs.
protiens are difforent from carbohydrates but tney are kind of simurlar.

Question 1:
ReplyDeleteGlycerol- produces Glucose
Glucose- the main fuel in your body
fatty acid- muscles us it as energy
saturated fats- contains cholesterol stay solid at room temperature
unsaturated fats- liquids
Cholesterol- is a fatty acid found in animal tissue
trans fats- Hydrogenated oils that contain high levels of cholesterol
question 2: to maintain temperature, contract muscle, repair and build body tissue
question 3: the liver produces cholesterol everyday to keep cells healthy
Question 4: heart attack is in your heart. A stroke is in your brain
Question 5: No
Question 6: 6 A: Your body uses protein to repair and build body tissue. Also uses it as energy. The benefits of having protein, it repairs your body cells, builds and repairs muscles and bones, provide energy, controls metabolism. Foods that contain protein are: Meats, eggs, peanuts, beans. Eating to much protein can damage your kidneys.
6 B: the human body needs protein, Carbohydrates and Nutrients to survive. All three give your body energy and substances to grow and stay healthy. The difference would be the foods that give your body each food substance.

Question 1:
ReplyDeletesimple carbohydrates- Sugar is called Simple Carbohydrates because they have the smallest carb molecules.
complex carbohydrates- Complex carbs are separated into 2 groups group 1- fiber group 2- Starches
fiber- Since fiber doesn’t digest it slows the breakdown of other Carbohydrates preventing Spikes.
blood sugar- Since fiber doesn’t digest it slows the breakdown of other Carbohydrates preventing Spikes.
processed food- the more processed Carbs are the less fiber they have (bad for you).
Question 2:
Carbohydrates are used as fuel to keep the body going.
Question 3:
If you have diabetes you are unable to eat Glucose the fuel in your body that gives you energy. Glucose gathers in their bloodstream, this can damage the heart, kidneys, eyes and nerves. There are three types of Diabetes, depending on how bad your case is you are either Type one, Type 2 or gestational diabetes .

Unsaturated fats- are liquids such as vegetable and olive oil which is considered better for you
Cholesterol- a fatty acid found in the cell membranes of animals
Trans fats- is a type of fat that is high in cholesterol
2. What are three things your body needs fats for?
• Energy
• Proper cell function
• Mussel retraction
3. Where does your body produce cholesterol and what is it used for?
Your liver produces cholesterol to help keep your cells healthy
4. How is a heart attack and a stroke different?
A heart attack is when the blood flow to a section of a heart mussel is blocked. A stroke is when a blood vessel that carries nutrients and oxygen is blocked by a clot or burst.
5. Reflective: Do you think about fat in your own diet? How often do you look at labels for food you eat? Do you ever choose not to eat something because of the fat content?
Sometimes I do think about the fat in my own diet when I’m eating a cookie or brownie. I don’t always look at the labels on the food I eat by I usually do to check what kinds of ingredients it has inside of it. I sometimes do not to chose eat something depending on how much fat content there is in certain types of foods because there is fat so I may not want to eat that because it could be high in fat content and might not be good for you.
6. Extension: We have looked at carbohydrates and fats. Do a little investigation on proteins. Think about what you have learned about fats and carbohydrates.
I have learned a lot about carbohydrates and how your body uses carbohydrates for energy. I also learned A Lot about fats and if you don’t exercise to burn all that glucose out than it converts to excess fat and if a food label doesn’t show you how many trans fats there is in that product you can look in the ingredients, and look for Hydrogenated oils.
A. Find out what your body uses proteins for. What foods provide protein? What are the benefits of protein in your diet? Are there any dangers from eating too much protein?
Your body uses proteins for building new parts of the body as well as repairing old ones and provides a source of energy for your bones. The foods that provide protein are meats, beans, nuts, and eggs. The benefits of having protein in your diet is it helps to repairs injuries helps you get over sicknesses quicker. If you eat too much protein in can damage your kidney.
B. How do proteins compare with fats and carbohydrates? In other words, what do they have in common or how are they different?
One way Proteins, Fats, and Carbohydrates are the same is your body needs them to survive and uses these nutrients as a source on energy. The differences between these three nutrients you mainly find carbohydrates in wheat and grain products, Fats in junk foods and animal products and proteins in nuts, eggs, and meats.

What are three things that your body needs fats for?
ReplyDelete1: Energy
2: restoration of blood sells
3: Short turm and long turm energy
Question 3: where does your body produce cholesteral?
The body produces cholesteral from your liver and cholesteral is used to make glucose which is the main sorce of energy in your body.
Question 4: What is the difference between a heart attack and a stroke?
A heart attack has to do with problems in your heart like muscle damage. However, a stroke has to do with your brian.
Question 5: Do you ever think about your diet?
I do make sure that I don't have a lot of junk food and have a healthy meal. Though sometimes, I do splurge on snacks. I usually never look at the ingrediants on the back of the box though.
Question 6
ReplyDeleteYour body uses protein as a sorce of energy. Protein can be found in eggs, meats, cheese, nuts, etc. Protein is one of the most important things that your body needs. Without protein, your body would have no energy and would eventually shut down. I think that if someone eats a lot of protein then the body can just flush the protein that it doesn't need away, however, if all you eat is protein, then you might not be getting enough of many other inportant substences. Protein, fats, and carbs are similar in the way of each substances gives you energy. Yet, the differences between these three substances is that one can have a lot more protein then fats. Your body, I believe, needs more protein than it does fats and carbs.
