PowerPoint presentation on Importance of Healthy fat :
# PowerPoint presentation on health ,safety and nutrition :
Introduction Fats are best known members of a chemical group called the lipids. The term lipid is applied to a group of naturally occurring substances characterized by their insolubility in water, greasy feel and solubility in organic solvents like ether, chloroform, benzene or other fat solvents . The term lipid was first used by the Germarn biochemist Bloor in 1943 Introduction cont... In normal human subjects, fats constitutes between 10-15 % of body weight. . Most of the body fat(99%) is stored in the adipose tissues. Fat present in the diet or in human body are in the form of fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterol. Each fat molecule is made up of four compounds, one alcohol and three fatty acids.
Nutritional classification of Fats Simple lipids Saturated fatty acids (SFA Ghee Butter Coconut oil Unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) MUFA (mono UFA) Olive oi Palm oil (also SFA) Groundnut oil Mustard oil (also PUFA) PUFA (poly UFA) Corn oil Soya bean oil Sun flower ol EFA Linoleic acid Classification of Fats Mainly classified into two ways: A) Based on bio chemical composition B) Based on nutritional significance
Bio chemical classification of fats A. Simple Lipids: Simple lipids are defined as those which yield only one or more fatty acids and an alcohol on hydrolysis. Example: 1) Fats and Oils, also known as triglycerides 2) Waxes Bio chemical classification of fats cont... B. Compound Lipids: Compounds lipids are those lipids which contain in addition to fatty acids and glycerol, some other organic compounds such as phosphoric acid, nitrogenous base, sugars and Proteins. Example: Phospholipids, Sphingolipids, Glycolipids, Sulpholipids and lipoproteins
Bio chemical classification of fats cont.... C. Derived Lipids: These are the derivatives obtained on the hydrolysis of simple and compound lipids which possess the characteristics of lipids. Example: Fatty acids, mono and diacylglycerols, lipid soluble vitamins, steroid hormones and ketone bodies Sources of dietary FATS Fats of animal origin : Ghee, butter, milk, cheese, eggs and fat of meat and fish Fats of plants origin: Groundnut oil, Coconut oil, Palm oil, Mustard oil, Canol.a oil, Sesame oil, Corn oil Other Sources: Cereals, Pulses, Oil seeds (Sunflower, Safflower, Soyabean, Cottonseeds), rice bran and Leafy green vegetables
Functions of Fats 1 Insulation and Padding: Fats are deposited in adipose tissue, subcutaneous tissue and abdominal cavity Fats surrounds the organs and laced throughout muscle tissue Fats functions like insulating material against cold Fats protects vital organs against physical injuries by forming a padding around them Functions of Fats cont... 2. Energy: The primary function of fat is to supply energy It is a very concentrated source of energy. .Each gram of fat when oxidized yields approximately 9 kcal, twice as much energy as one gram of carbohydrate or protein. Fat specially supply energy in between the meals and during starvation.
Functions of Fats cont... 3. Carriers of fat soluble vitamins: Dietary fat is a carrier of the fat soluble vitamins-A,D,E and Vitamin K its precursor, carotene Functions of Fats cont... 4. Satiety function: Fats improves the palatability of the diet. fullness and satisfaction after eating) In the absence of fats the food become non palatable . It slows digestion--resulting in satiety (a sense of
Functions of Fats cont. Fats provide essential fatty acids which the body can't manufacture. 5. Fats are the constituents of cell membrane and regulates the membrane permeability. 6. Fats are also function as cellular metabolic regulators in the form of prostaglandins and steroid hormones. 7.
What is health, safety, & nutrition? Here are the basic definitions of each Health: One's physical condition; being Safety: Being protected from possible Nutrition: Providing healthy nourishment for word: illness free. njuries. the body in order to grow and develop. How are they related? Health, safety, & nutrition are all dependent on each other. If one isn't healthy, properly nourished, or safe from harm then the whole person is in a state of being unhealthy. In order to be healthy all three areas must be balanced and in sync.
How are they related? For instance, if one isn't properly nourished then they are more likely to come down with illnesses because their body doesn't have enough nutrients to keep its immune system strong. One who is isn't nourished properly is also more likely to break their bones because their bones don't have enough vitamins to stay strong. Given this example, one can easily see how health safety, and nutrition are connected. Example: Childhood Diseases An example that shows how these concepts are related comes in the form of childhood diseases both communicable and non-communicable Most childhood diseases can be prevented by proper health, safety, and nutrition practices.
Example: Childhood Diseases For instance, diabetes can be prevented in children by having them follow a diet that is high in nutrients/vitamins and low in fat and sugar. However, if a child does have diabetes then it can be maintained in a healthy way by following a healthy diet (nutrition). I Example: Childhood Diseases This example applies to safety because keeping children safe will help communicable diseases from spreading. For instance, influenza and strep throat are common childhood illnesses that can be prevented by disposing of blood, needles, and snotty tissues correctly (safety).
Example: Childhood Diseases This example can be extended to health because proper hand washing techniques can prevent the spread of germs that cause influenza, strep throat. chickenpox, etc (health). As you can see, in many situations health, safety and nutrition are closely knit group. Healthy Living Connection These topics relate to my theme of healthy living because healthy living is the foundation of health, safety, and nutrition. The topics thave chose to represent healthy living with is hand washing (health), poison control (safety),and healthy food choices nutrition). These topics are related to the aforementioned topics because proper hand washing stops germs, avoiding dangerous poisons keeps us healthy, and eating healthy foods keep our bodies strong.
Conclusion Health, safety, and nutrition are highly interconnected and always will be. A break down in one area causes a break down in all three areas. For this reason, it's imperative that we all learn how to live happy and healthy lives
