It focuses on understanding the nutrients in food, their functions, and the principles of healthy eating to maintain overall well-being. Major Nutrients and Their Functions Nutrient Function in the Body Food Sources Carbohydrates Primary energy source Rice, bread, pasta, potatoes Proteins Growth, tissue repair, enzyme/hormone formation Meat, eggs, fish, legumes Fats Energy, insulation, vitamin absorption Oils, nuts, butter, fatty fish Vitamins Regulate body processes, immunity Fruits, vegetables, dairy, fish Minerals Bone health, fluid balance, nerve function Milk, meat, leafy greens, nuts Water Hydration, digestion, temperature regulation Water, fruits, vegetables Principles of Healthy Eating  Variety: Eat different types of food to get all nutrients  Balance: Maintain proper proportions of nutrients  Moderation: Avoid excessive intake of sugar, salt, and fat  Adequacy: Ensure enough nutrients to meet daily needs  Safety: Prepare and store food to prevent contamination Meal Planning  Consider nutritional needs for age, gender, and activity level  Use food guides like the Ping gang Pinoy (Philippines)  Incorporate all food groups: carbohydrates, protein, vegetables, fruits, dairy  Practice portion control Food Safety and Hygiene  Wash hands before cooking  Cook food at proper temperatures  Store perishable foods in refrigerators  Avoid cross-contamination between raw and cooked foods  Observe expiration dates Common Nutrition-Related Problems  Malnutrition (underweight, stunting)  Obesity  Anemia (iron deficiency)  Diabetes and hypertension (linked to poor diet) Activities for Students 1. Plan a balanced meal for a day using Pinggang Pinoy. 2. Analyze a food label for nutritional content. 3. Conduct a food safety checklist at home or dorm. 4.
