Describe the relationships between diet and cancer.

Cancer arises from genetic damage and develops in steps. Obesity, lack of physical activity, alcohol and tobacco use, and diets high in red and processed meats are associated with cancer development. Contaminants and naturally occurring toxins can be carcinogenic, but they are monitored in the U.S. food supply, and the body is equipped to handle tiny doses of most kinds. Foods containing ample fiber, nutrients, and phytochemical may be protective against cancer.

Describe cardiovascular disease and identify its risk factors.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Atherosclerosis is the major underlying cause of cardiovascular disease, and hypertension is the most prevalent form of cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerosis and hypertension are risk factors for each other. As most people age, atherosclerosis progresses steadily. The development of atherosclerosis involves plaque development, blood clot formation, and hypertension. Atherosclerosis and hypertension accelerate each other. Risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) that cannot be modified include advancing age, male gender, and family history (heredity). Major modifiable risk factors for CVD are high LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, high blood triglycerides, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, an atherogenic diet, and a high intake of salt. Lifestyle changes to lower the risk of CVD include increasing physical activity, achieving a healthy body weight, reducing exposure to tobacco smoke, and eating a heart-healthy diet. Dietary measures to lower LDL cholesterol include reducing intakes of saturated fat and trans fat, along with consuming generous quantities of nutrient-dense fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, fish, and whole grains.

Cooking and cooling foods to proper temperatures reduce microbial threats. Different thermometers do different jobs. To choose the right one, pay attention to its temperature range: some have high temperature ranges intended to test the doneness of meats and other hot foods. Others have lower ranges for testing temperatures of refrigerators and freezers.

•Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC): caused by ______ bacterium •Results in hemolytic-uremic syndrome (dangerous failure of kidneys and other organ systems)

E.coli

Describe microbial foodborne illnesses and core practices that can prevent them.

Each year in the United States, tens of millions of people suffer mild to life-threatening symptoms caused by foodborne illnesses. Pregnant women, infants, toddlers, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are most vulnerable to harm from foodborne illnesses. Foodborne illnesses arise from infection or bacterial toxins. Farm-to-plate food safety requires that farmers, processors, transporters, retailers, and consumers use effective food safety methods to prevent foodborne illnesses. Bacteria multiply quickly when conditions are favorable to them. The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is a law enacted to protect the U.S. food and pet food supplies. Consumers should carefully inspect foods before purchasing them. Foodborne illnesses are common, but the great majority of cases can be prevented. To protect themselves, consumers should remember these four practices: clean, separate, cook, chill.

Describe the hazards from inadequate fluid intake and temperature extremes present to the working body.

Evaporation of sweat cools the body, regulating body temperature. Heat stroke is a threat to physically active people in hot, humid weather, while hypothermia threatens exercisers in the cold. Guidelines recommend hydrating before, during, and after activity. Water is the best drink for most physically active people, but some endurance athletes may need the carbohydrate and electrolytes of sports drinks. Salt tablets worsen dehydration. Hyponatremia is a threat for athletes who sweat profusely for hours, but most exercisers get enough sodium in their normal foods to replace losses. Carbonated beverages can suppress total fluid intake and cause discomfort in exercisers. Alcohol use can impair performance in many ways and is not recommended.

Describe the uses and safety characteristics of some common food additives.

Food additives must be safe, effective, and measurable in the final product for FDA approval. Approved additives have wide margins of safety. Sugar and salt have the longest history of use as additives to prevent food spoilage. Nitrites and sulfites have advantages and drawbacks. People with PKU should avoid the nonnutritive sweetener aspartame. The flavor enhancer MSG may cause reactions in people with sensitivities to it. Fat replacers and artificial fats substitute for the fats in processed foods, reducing their calorie counts and saturated fat contents. Olestra in large amounts can cause digestive distress. Incidental additives enter food during processing and are regulated; most do not constitute a hazard. Consumers should use only microwave-safe containers and wraps for microwaving food.

Outline technological advances aimed at reducing microbial food contamination.

Food irradiation kills bacteria, insects, molds, and parasites on foods. Consumers have concerns about the effects of irradiation on foods, workers, and the environment. Irradiation controls mold, sterilizes spices and teas, controls insects, extends shelf life, and destroys disease-causing bacteria. Scientific advances continuously improve food safety.

Variety of types and diverse causes:

Genetic factors Microbial infections

Atherosclerosis

Hardening of the arteries

Energy Reservoir (ATP-PCr)

High-energy compounds trap & store energy in muscle fibers Energy for short bursts of intense activity

Describe the body's three energy systems that support the body's muscular work.

High-energy molecules trap and store energy from energy-yielding nutrients and can transfer that energy to fuel cellular work. Bursts of physical activity lasting just seconds require the immediate energy stored in the reservoir. The anaerobic energy system partially breaks down glucose to yield energy without using oxygen and is particularly important during bouts of high-intensity activity. Lactate is a by-product of anaerobic energy production. The aerobic energy system uses fuels most efficiently and conserves the body's glycogen stores. Aerobic metabolism fuels moderate-intensity activity over long duration.

Myokines

Describe natural toxins, residues, and contaminants in food.

Natural foods contain natural toxins that can be hazardous under some conditions. To avoid harm from toxins, choose a variety of foods and eat them in moderation. Pesticides can be part of safe food production but can be hazardous if mishandled. Insects may adapt to pesticides and become resistant to them when they are used repeatedly. FDA-approved hormones, antibiotics, and other drugs are used to promote growth or increase milk production in conventionally grown animals. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a serious and growing threat. Persistent environmental contaminants present in food pose a small but significant risk to U.S. consumers. Mercury and other contaminants pose the greatest threat during pregnancy, lactation, and childhood.

Describe the emerging science of nutritional genomics.

Nutritional genomics is the study of how food and its components interact with the genome and helps to explain the differential influences of diet on individuals.

Table 11.1: Chronic Disease Risk Factors

Of all of these risk factors, the first two are unalterable: you cannot change your age or heredity. As for diseases as risk factors, if you already have one, you may or may not be able to slow or reverse it. The other risk factors have to do with your lifestyle choices and therefore are, to a great extent, under your control. Your choices can be powerful preventive measures against chronic diseases.

Compare potential advantages and drawbacks of organic and conventional foods.

Organic foods generally contain either no pesticides or lower concentrations of pesticides compared to conventionally grown products, therefore reducing the consumer's exposure to pesticides. Organic food generally costs more than conventionally grown food. Organic food farmers typically use sustainable agricultural practices, which reduces the harmful environmental impacts of agricultural production. Research suggests few nutrient differences between conventionally grown and organic foods.

Sodium Depletion and Water Intoxication causes:

Overdrinking (especially plain water) Under-salting Long exercise periods High sweat rates, unusually salty sweaters

Recognize a Heart Attack

Enumerate the benefits of physical fitness.

Physical activity and fitness benefit people's physical and psychological well-being and improve their resistance to disease. Physical activity improves survival and quality of life in the later years. Myokines generated by working muscles may trigger healthy changes in body tissues. The U.S. Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans aim to improve physical fitness and the health of the nation.

Popular term referring to an organism produced by genetic engineering •GMOs are classified as "GRAS" by FDA

Summarize the causes, consequences, and management of type 2 diabetes.

Prediabetes silently threatens the health of tens of millions of people in the United States. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that attacks the pancreas and abolishes its ability to produce insulin; it necessitates that insulin be provided from an external source. Type 2 diabetes is the predominant type of diabetes and is closely linked to obesity. The primary defect in type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance—an inadequate response of the body's cells to insulin. In type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance causes glucose and insulin to build up in the bloodstream. Recognizing the symptoms of diabetes and seeking treatment are important steps for protecting health. In type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis develops early and progresses rapidly. Chronically elevated blood glucose alters metabolism in virtually every cell in the body. Type 2 diabetes damages blood vessels and nerves, impairing circulation and nerve function, and causing kidney damage, vision problems, and infections. The first steps in diabetes prevention involve self-study: learn your family history and risks and get tested for symptoms of developing diabetes. To slow or halt the progression of diabetes, one should lose weight if overweight, and learn to manage blood glucose levels by balancing physical activity, carbohydrate intake, and drug therapy recommended by a health care provider. A diet consisting of nutrient-dense foods and low in saturated fat and added sugars can play a crucial role in controlling the symptoms and progression of type 2 diabetes.

Sulfites

Prevent oxidation and preserve color in many processed foods

___________ is preferable to potential for cure

Prevention

Organic foods

Produced without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, drugs, and preservatives and without genetic engineering or irradiation

Identify the categories of foods that most often cause foodborne illnesses.

Raw meats and poultry pose special microbial threats and so require special handling. Consuming raw eggs, milk, or seafood is risky. Produce causes many foodborne illnesses each year. Proper washing and refrigeration can reduce risks. Cooking ensures that sprouts are safe to eat. Many foods are imported, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is working to improve their safety. Honey should never be fed to infants. Lunch bags, picnics, and leftovers require safe handling.

Safe Food Storage Times:

Refrigerator (≤40°F)

Physical activity benefits the body's nutrition status

Regulates use of energy-yielding nutrients Improves body composition

Debate the usefulness of dietary ergogenic aids for improving sports performance.

Research suggests that most ergogenic aids do little to improve sports performance (i.e., arginine, coenzyme Q10, guarana, amino acid supplements). Findings on the usefulness of other ergogenic aids such as beetroot juice, caffeine, and buffers suggest that these substances may enhance sports performance depending on the intensity and duration of activity. The evidence is inconsistent, however.

Outline strategies for including sufficient fruits and vegetables in a diet.

Strategies to vegetables in the diet include: integrating vegetables of all kinds in meals and snacks; adding green leafy vegetables and orange vegetables to main dishes (e.g., stir fries, soups); keeping a variety of low-sodium canned beans handy; and ordering vegetable side dishes when eating out. Tips to add more fruit in your diet include: keeping a variety of fresh fruit for snacks or to use in cereal, yogurt, salad or desserts; replacing syrup with cut-up berries, peaches, or fruit mixtures; and choosing whole or cut fruit instead of fruit juice.

Nutrigenetics

Study of the effects of genes on nutritional health, such as variations in nutrient requirements and responsiveness to dietary modifications.

Explain the how glucose, fatty acids, and proteins support muscular work.

Sufficient energy intake is of great importance to athletes. Low energy availability can significantly compromise an athlete's performance and health. Excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) can cost significant energy in some athletes, but most weight-loss seekers do not achieve significant calorie deficits from EPOC. During activity, the hormone glucagon helps prevent a drop in blood glucose. Glycogen stores in the liver and muscles affect an athlete's endurance; when glycogen stores are depleted, activity intensity diminishes. Intensity and duration of an activity affect glycogen use, as does degree of training. Carbohydrate consumption affects glycogen stores and may boost performance during prolonged or repeated exercise. Lactate arises from anaerobic breakdown of glucose. Carbohydrate recommendations for athletes are stated in grams per kilogram of body weight per day. Carbohydrate intakes before, during, and after physical exertion can help support the performance of endurance activities. The intensity and duration of the activity, as well as the degree of training, affect fat use. Athletes should follow the lipid intake recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. A diet high in saturated or trans fat raises an athlete's risk of heart disease. Physical activity stimulates muscle cells to both break down and synthesize proteins, resulting in muscle adaptation to activity. Athletes use amino acids for building muscle tissue and for energy; dietary carbohydrate spares amino acids. Diet, intensity and duration of the activity, and degree of training affect protein use during that activity. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Eating Patterns provide sufficient protein for casual exercisers and most athletes. Some athletes require somewhat more daily protein than the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI).

A genetically engineered rice variety in existence today supplies sufficient beta-carotene to fight vitamin A deficiency and childhood blindness worldwide.

T2D

Describe muscle adaptability and the effects of physical training.

The components of fitness are flexibility, muscle strength, muscle endurance, and cardiorespiratory endurance. Muscle protein is built up and broken down every day; muscle hypertrophy occurs when synthesis exceeds degradation; atrophy occurs when degradation is dominant. Physical activity builds muscle tissues and metabolic equipment needed for the activities they are repeatedly called upon to perform. Cardiorespiratory endurance training enhances the ability of the heart and lungs to deliver oxygen to body tissues. Cardiorespiratory training activities elevate the heart rate for sustained periods of time and engage the body's large muscle groups.

USDA inspections at every step of production

Explain why vitamins and minerals are important.

Vitamins and minerals are essential for releasing the energy trapped in energy-yielding nutrients and for carrying out other functions that support physical activity. Most active people can meet their vitamin and mineral needs without supplements if they follow the USDA Eating Patterns and eat enough nutrient-dense food to meet their energy needs. Iron-deficiency anemia impairs physical performance because iron is the blood's oxygen handler. Sports anemia is a harmless temporary adaptation to physical activity.

Summarize the characteristics of the diet that best support physical performance.

While many different diets can support physical performance, and no one diet works best for all people, a diet with foods that are high in both nutrients (quality carbohydrates and protein) and with sufficient fluids best supports optimal physical performance. Timing of meals that involve pacing carbohydrate and protein intakes before and after a workout may be important for physical performance and adaptations to exercise.
