hyperactivity

A condition of excessive activity. In children, hyperactivity is demonstrated by constant fidgeting, talking, moving, running, climbing, and so on. In adolescents and adults, hyperactivity takes the form of restless feelings and difficulty sitting still.

Starch

A storage polysaccharide in plants consisting entirely of glucose.

Why does a sucrose molecule have one less oxygen and 2 fewer hydrogen than glucose and fructose molecules separately?

A water molecule (H20) is released while glucose and fructose bond

Why does sugar cause tooth decay?

Bacteria in the mouth feed off of sugar that is readily available in the mouth at the time and form plaque.

Fat (can/cannot) be converted into glucose.

Cannot

Why are complex carbs better?

Complex carbohydrates provide more satiety, are slower to digest, and do not dramatically raise blood sugar levels in the way that glucose does.

What factors affect Glycemic Index scores?

Cooking methods, foods that a certain item are eaten with, time of the day that the food is eaten at

What is the diet plan for people who suffer from FODMAP related intolerances?

Cut out high FODMAP sources and switch to low FODMAP food sources and gradually reintroduce foods to figure out what is causing the distress

Relationship between hyperactivity and sugar

Excess sugar provides unnecessary energy, but it does not contribute to hyperactivity as much as the child's surroundings do. A child is less likely to want sugary food if they are given healthy nutritious food instead.

FODMAPS

Fermentable Oligosaccharides Disaccharides Monosaccharides And Polyols

role of fiber in weight loss

Fibrous foods promote satiety because fibers swell up and cause the person to feel full. Fiber in the stomach also slows the rate at which the stomach empties out down, and fibrous foods are also usually less calorie dense

What 3 components of any grain should be included to raise fiber intake?

Germ, bran, endosperm

Excess glucose is stored as

Glycogen in the liver and muscles

How should one increase their fiber intake?

Gradually; along with eating more fiber, more water should be drunk to prevent constipation

What industry-made added sugar is common in snacks? How is it made?

HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup)- made by converting some glucose in corn starch to fructose; the resulting molecule is sweeter than sucrose

Why are people with lactose intolerance able to consume cultured milk products such as cheese?

In these, the lactose has already been broken down by bacteria into lactic acid or glucose/galactose.

A (higher/lower) GI score is better.

Lower- the lower the GI score, the slower the blood sugar levels raise after consuming said food

Galactose

Never found alone in food; always bound to glucose to make lactose, the sugar found in milk

What effect does insulin have on hypoglycemia?

Overproduced amounts of insulin cause blood sugar levels to drop drastically after 2-4 hours.

Role of fiber in preventing hemorrhoids

Some fibers bind together to form gels that thicken stool and relieve diarrhea. Fiber absorbs lots of water and prevents stool from becoming too difficult to pass, therefore preventing abrasion and strain on the rectal/anal muscles while passing stool

_____________ can break down fibers. (Digestive enzymes/intestinal bacteria)

Some types of intestinal bacteria

When are starchy foods fattening?

Starchy foods cause fat buildup when served with fatty foods or when consumed in excess.

What is the purpose of dietary fiber?

Stimulates passing stool and makes it easier; keeps the intestinal muscles toned; has health benefits such as preventing appendicitis and heart disease

TRUE OR FALSE: Both types of diabetes mellitus can run in a family.

TRUE

RDAs for fiber are based on

The amount of fiber necessary to prevent heart disease

How are carbohydrates broken down to provide energy (digestion)?

The digestive system breaks down polysaccharides and disaccharides into monosaccharides, which are small enough to enter the bloodstream. These broken down monosaccharides go to the liver via the bloodstream, where fructose and galactose are converted into glucose. Said glucose is then released to the bloodstream, where cells take it in and store it as needed.

What happens when there is an excess of glucose?

The excess of glucose is such that it is beyond storage capacity in the liver, the liver will convert it to fat instead because an unlimited amount of fat can be stored.

Fructose

The sugar that naturally occurs in fruits and honey; sweetest out of all the 3 sugars

Why are natural sugars less of a nutritional concern?

They are usually accompanied by other nutrients in the foods that they are found in.

Sticky carbohydrates are more likely to cause tooth decay because

They stay in the mouth for much longer, so bacteria have the opportunity to feed off of them.

Why are complex carbohydrates more filling?

They take much longer to digest than simple carbohydrates

Why do manufacturers add artificial sweeteners or sugar calories to food (apart from sweetening)?

To make fat-free products

Why is it important for there to be a constant supply of carbs (in terms of protein-sparing action)?

When there are sufficient carbs in the diet, the body doesn't have to rely on proteins for energy, and those proteins can be put to use for other purposes.

What effects does hypoglycemia have on the central nervous system?

Without a constant supply of glucose, anxiety, shaking, sweating, hunger, and headaches result

Why is it important for there to be a constant supply of carbs (in terms of fat oxidation)?

Without the constant supply of carbohydrates, fats can only be oxidized partially and this results in ketosis.

Glycemic Index (GI)

a ranking of foods according to their potential for raising blood glucose relative to a standard food such as glucose in the same amount as the compared food

Hypoglycemia

abnormally low level of sugar in the blood
