What is Nutrition?

Nutrition is the science of food involving the process and role of nutrients within the body.

Nutrition can be affected by basically the factors that determine what foods you eat.

A nutrient is a substance found in food that performs one or more roles in the body to help it function (work) properly. For example, providing energy, helping growth, repairing the body, and even reducing the risk of some diseases.

2. What are there roles in the body and their roles within sport?

The human body requires energy to function. Energy is used in the body while sleeping, while eating, while exercising – energy is used in the body all the time!

Three nutrients can be used to produce energy in the body; carbohydrates, fats and proteins. So when food is eaten, it is broken up by the body (digested) and energy is released from the foods so the body can use them.

Some energy is lost as heat however. This is one of the reasons why when you exercise and use lots of energy you start to get hot!

The amount of energy in a food is often called the calories or kilocalories, which can always be seen on the label of foods.

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are found in many foods but are particularly high in potatoes, cereals, pasta, breads and fruit.

There are two main types of carbohydrates: Simple carbohydrates: These tend to be the sweeter foods, such as chocolates,

sugar, chocolate bar, honey, jam, shortbread, fruit cake, coca-cola, lemonade, fruit

Effect on body = Raises sugar levels in your blood very quickly.

Complex: These carbohydrates are made up of many parts and are in the foods such as potatoes, white bread, whole meal bread, boiled pasta, baked potato, boiled rice, crackers, cornflakes, cereals, baked beans

Effect on body = Raises the sugar levels in your blood at a slower, steadier rate.

Fats - There are several types of fat. The most important are saturated and unsaturated.

• Saturated fat sources: Hard Cheese, Cream, Butter, Bacon, Pork.

• Unsaturated fat sources: Vegetable oil, Margarine, Nuts, olive, avocados.

• Many products contain hidden fat though. For example, pies, pastries, chocolate and cakes – so read the labels!

Fats

Level 2 Award, Certificate & Diploma in Increasing Participation in Sport and Active Leisure in Community Settings (QCF) (4863-26)

Proteins are found in foods such as chicken, tuna and eggs.

• They are made up of small parts that form chains, called amino acids.

• There are two main categories of amino acids:

• Non-essential Amino Acids: This basically means that the body can make these amino acids (proteins), so it is not essential in your diet, but it is still fine to eat them.

• Essential amino acids: There are nine amino acids that the body requires from your diet, as they cannot be made in the body.

• Increasing your protein intake rapidly will not build muscle mass & will deplete your calcium intake.

Protein

Vitamins• Vitamins do not give you usable energy when broken down, but they

help enzymes (which speed up chemical reactions in the body) that release energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

• Vitamins are organic, therefore can be destroyed easily, for example by over cooking food.

• Vitamins are only required in small amounts compared to the larger nutrients such as carbohydrates.

• Different vitamins may be absorbed at different rates, and therefore recommended intakes vary.

Normally a varied diet containing enough portions of fresh fruit and vegetables should meet requirements.

MineralsThere are two types of minerals, Major minerals: examples –• Calcium – Milk, green vegetables. • Phosphorus – Meat, fish.• Magnesium – Nuts, dark green vegetables, chocolate.

Trace minerals : examples: • Iron – Red meats, eggs.• Zinc – Whole grains, meats• Iodine – Seafood, meatAll minerals are vital and are required for a number of functions in the body.

Minerals are inorganic (cannot be broken down).

Water: forms about 60% of an adult’s body weight and a higher percentage of a child’s.

Functions of water:

• Carries nutrients and waste products throughout the body• Used in chemical reactions in the body.• Helps cushion and lubricate (oil, grease, to make smooth)

joints and eyes etc.• Helps maintain body temperature• Maintains the amount of blood in the body.
