benefits of physical activity
reduces abdominal obesity, improves blood pressure, insulin resistance. combines with energy restriction- more likely to loose more fat, retain more muscles, and regain less weight than diet alone.
factors decreasing BMR
short, overweight fasting/starvation/malnutrition increased age hypothyroidism sleep-lowest
Dumping syndrome: small, frequent meals
small, frequent meals Fluids in between meals Eat slowly, relax, chew thoroughly Protein-rich foods to help with hypoglycemia Avoid simple carbs: juices, sweetened beverages, desserts Avoid milk (simple sugars)—try cheese, dk green leafies, fish w bones, tofu Avoid carbonated beverages if bloating Soluble fibers like pectin, guar gum Lie down after eating to slow transit time

What group of vitamins are necessary for energy metabolism?
B-vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, biotin, cobalamin)
Calcium-Magnesium-Phosphorous and bone health
Calcium- most abundant mineral in the body. Integral part of bone structure. Bone formation. Phosphorous- 2nd most abundant. Found it bones, teeth, and all body tissue. Source-animal protein, milk, and cheese. Magnesium- found in bones, muscles, heart, liver, and other soft tissues, small amounts in body fluid. Low blood calcium- muscle cramps/seizures/hallucinations. Sources: dark green leafy veggies, nuts, legumes, whole grain breads and cereals.
Iodine—thyroid, cretinism, BMR
Deficiency: goiter, most common cause of preventable mental retardation, cretinism in pregnancy, mental retardation in child. Excess: enlarges thyroid gland. Sources: iodized salt, sea food.
Actions of stress hormones in the body
Energy nutrients: mobilized from storage Heart rate and respiration increases Blood pressure rises Energy diverted from processes that are not life sustaining
COPD pts and problems with excessive kcals
Excess co2 production from food metabolism causing respiratory stress
Initial concerns for acute metabolic stress pts
Fluid and electrolytes Remove underlying stressors: treat infections, repair wounds, drain abscesses, remove dead tissue Following stabilization- provide nutrient assessment and nutrient therapy
Methotrexate and folate
Have similar structures and compete for the enzyme that converts folate to its active form. Therefore supplement with active form of folate
Vitamin D role in bones, deficiency, toxicity, sources
Helps your body absorb the minerals calcium and phosphorus from the food you eat. Help build strong bones. Block the release of parathyroid hormone. Sources: sun exposure, food (orange juice, milk, yogurt, egg yolk, fortified cereals, fish, cheese. Toxicity: buildup of calcium in your blood. Causes poor appetite, nausea, and vomiting. Weakness, frequent urination and kidney problems.
How to respond to hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia for TPN pts
Hyperglycemia -for most patients receiving parenteral nutrition, blood glucose level should not exceed about 200 mg/dL -patients who are glucose intolerant or in severe metabolic stress -provide insulin with feedings or decrease dextrose (limited to less than 5 mg/kg) -may inc fat intake hypoglycemia -sometimes occurs when parenteral nutrition is interrupted or discontinued or if excessive insulin is given -young infants at risk -infusions may be tapered off over several hours before discontinuation -may infuse a dextrose solution at the same time the parenteral is interrupted or stopped
Birthwt related to pregrenancy wt;
It is the most potential single predictor of the infant's future health and survival. Normal birthweights are between 6.8 to 7.9
Recommendations to prevent childhood obesity (Table 11-5);
Limit consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (soft drinks/fruit flavored punches) Eat the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables Learn to eat age-appropriate portions of food Eat foods low in energy density- high in fiber Eat a nutritious breakfast everyday Eat a diet rich in calcium Eat a diet high in fiber Eat together as a family as often as possible Limit the frequency of restaurant meals Limit TV time Engage in at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity
Candidates for TPN
Missing the small intestines Cancer patients Pregnant with hyperemesis Severe pancreatitis Burn patients
GI organs and their functions
Mouth- oral cavity containing the tongue and teeth salivary glands- secret saliva pharynx- directs food from mouth to esophagus epiglottis- protects airways during swallowing upper esophageal sphincter- allows passage from mouth to esophagus esophagus- passes food from the mouth to the stomach lower esophageal sphincter- allows passage from esophagus to stomach stomach- churns, mixes, and grinds food to a liquid mass, adds acid, enzymes, and fluid. pyloric sphincter- allows passage from stomach to small intestine, prevents backflow from small intestine liver- manufactures bile salts, detergent like substances to help digest food gallbladder store bile when needed bile duct- conducts bile from the gallbladder to the small intestine pancreas- manufactures enzymes to digest all energy yielding nutrients and releases bicarbonate to neutralize acidic chyme that enters the small intestine pancreatic duct- conducts bile from the gallbladder to the small intestine small intestine- duodenum, jejunum, ileum. secretes enzymes that digest all energy yielding nutrients to smaller nutrient particles, cells of wall absorb nutrients into blood and lymph duodenum- top portion of the small intestine jejunum- 1st 2 5ths of the small intestine beyond the duodenum ileum- last segment of the small intestine ileocecal valve- allows passage from small intestine to the large intestine prevents backflow from large intestine appendix- houses bacteria and lymph cells
vitamin b12 absorption. deficiency symptoms, sources
Normally, vitamin B12 is readily absorbed in the last part of the small intestine (ileum), which leads to the large intestine. However, to be absorbed, the vitamin must combine with intrinsic factor, a protein produced in the stomach. Symptoms: weakness, tiredness, lightheadedness, heart palpitations and shortness of breath, pale skin, a smooth tongue, constipation, diarrhea, a loss of appetite, or gas. Nerve problems like numbness or tingling, muscle weakness and problems walking. Vision loss, mental problems like depression, memory loss, or behavior problems. Sources: beef, liver, sardines, raw cheese, cottage cheese, lamb, milk, eggs, salmon, breakfast cereals, ham, chicken
Sodium—sources, function in body
Primary regulator of the extracellular fluid volume. Cold cuts, pizza, soups, restaurant and prepared foods, breads
Protein and energy needs during acute metabolic stress
Protein: Nonobese: 1.2-2.0 grams protein per kilogram body weight per day Obeses pts given hypocaloric feeding: 2.0-2.5 grams per kilogram ideal body weight RDA healthy: 0.8 g/kg Carbohydrate: 50-60% Fat intakes: 50% of k calories
Renin-aldosterone-ADH
Regulating the sodium and water stay on board. Key for hypertension
Nutrition recs for rheumatoid and osteo arthritis;
Rheumatoid- Mediterranean-type diet, omega 3-fish oil, low saturation fats. *Osteoarthritis-
Iron—deficiency (who at risk, how to assess), sources
Sources: heme iron-meat, poultry and fish, nonheme iron meat and plant food (vit C), spinach, black/navy beans. Cause: inadequate intake, blood loss, decreased stomach acidity, partial gastrectomy. At risk: those donating blood, teen girls, blood loss, pregnant women, those going thorough growth spurt
vitamin a deficiency symptoms, sources
Symptoms: poor adaptation to darkness-night blindness, keratomalacia, dry eye, dry skin/hair. Pruritus. Broken fingernails Sources: milk, yogurt, cheese, eggs, oily fish, fortified low fat spreads, veggies like carrots, sweet potatoes, red peppers, and green leafies. Orange/yellow colored fruit- mango, papaya, and apricots.
American Academy of Pediatrics recs for breast feeding and food introduction
Vit D supplement is needed in exclusively breastfed babies. Needed earliest are Fe, then vit C. Iron fortified infant cereal to start. Rice cereal is least allergenic. Add one food at a time, check for allergies. After cereals, add vegetables and fruits, then meats. Limit juice to 4-6 oz/day. No sweets/desserts. No honey or corn syrup (risk for botulism) Wheat cereal is last cereal to be introduced (after 1 year)
nutrients likely to be deficient in teen years
Vit D- may require supplementation Iron Calcium- crucial for developing bone density, teen girls vulnerable to low intake.
Warfarin (Coumadin) and Vitamin K
Warfarin blocks enzyme that activates vit k, thus preventing several blood clotting factors from being made. Consumption of foods high in vit K (green leafy vegetables, liver) can decrease anticoagulant effects of warfarin. Need a steady level of vit K intake to keep warfarin activity stable.
