DIET AND HEALTH
 A diet is everything that a person eats.
A balanced diet incudes an adequate amount of nutrients needed to maintain good health
There are 7 main food groups: Carbohydrates, protein, fats, water, dietary fibre, vitamins and
minerals, each with its own specific function
Carbohydrates comprise of both starchy and sugary foods and provide energy. Examples?
Proteins are needed for growth and repair. Examples?
Fats are an alternative source of energy. Examples?
Water makes up 70% of the human body and is needed for transport, metabolism, to control
body temperature.
Dietary fibre also known as roughage helps with bowel movement. Examples
Vitamins are organic substances needed by the body to ensure normal growth while minerals are
inorganic substances. Both are required in small amounts
DIET AND HEALTH
The type of diet an individual has is directly dependant on age, gender, activity and occupation
An individual at rest and one at work both require energy but will they need the same
amount? Will they require the same food groups in the same amount?
In class assignment ROLE PLAY: Student A- waiter, Student B- a pregnant woman. Student C- a
construction worker, Student D- an elderly
THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
DIGESTION
What is digestion?

The process by which large insoluble food molecules are broken down on small water soluble
food molecules.
It comprises of two types: mechanical and chemical.
Mechanical occurs when the large food particles is broken down into smaller food particles,
occurs in the mouth and stomach
Chemical digestion involves digestive enzymes to break down large food molecules into smaller
molecules. Such as: Carbohydrates is broken down into glucose, Proteins are broken down into
amino acids and fats are broken down in fatty acids and glycerol
