Proteins, Fats and Sugars

How do we get our energy in our body? Well, by the foods we eat. That is certain foods that contain sugars, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, dietary fibers and water. The sugar ones are also known as carbohydrates. This is the main source of energy. You can find them in fruits and fruit juices, vegetables, milk, yogurt, bread, cereals, rice, pasta, potatoes and legumes. Other foods that contain sugars, but have very low nutritional value are: white and brown sugars, honey, molasses, syrups, jams, candies and many other sugar treats.

Proteins helps us build, repair and renew body tissue. Antibodies are formed in the blood to fight infection. Meat, poultry, fish and eggs are the main source of proteins. Nuts, seeds, legumes, milk and dairy products also gives us protein.

Now everyone knows about fats. Fats help us absorb substances for good health, such as vitamins A, D, E and K even though, they are high in calories. Having consumed fats gives us a feeling of fullness and also helps maintain body temperature. A form of fats is also known as cholesterol and our body needs it to function well. Cholesterol plays a big part in making Vitamin D and hormones. High levels of cholesterol can harden the arteries and cause cardiovascular diseases. In order to lessen the danger of cardiovascular diseases do the following. Maintain good weight, stop smoking, exercise regularly, cut fats intake and eat more dietary fibers like legumes, barley, oats and fruits. Fats are found in oils, butter, margarine, vegetable fats and meat. There are also hidden fats found in nuts, sauces, cheese, deli meats, pies, cakes and pastries. Just limit these and you should be fine.

Let's Talk Vitamins and Minerals

I will give you some information about vitamins and minerals. I will tell you what each vitamin and mineral group is for. Let us begin with Vitamin A. Then Vitamin B, C, D, Calcium and Iron.

Vitamin A


  • Aids night vision.

  • Keeps skin and mucous membranes healthy.

  • Helps normal development of bones and teeth.

Vitamin B(Thiamin,Riboflavin and Niacin)


  • Helps the body use energy contained in food.

  • Encourages normal growth and appetite.

  • Helps the nervous system function properly.


Vitamin C

  • Helps heal lesions and maintains healthy gums.

  • Keeps the walls of blood vessels in good condition.


Vitamin D

  • Helps the body use calcium and phosphorus to build and maintain healthy bones and teeth.
Calcium


  • Helps build and maintain healthy bones and teeth.

  • Helps normal coagulation of blood and normal functioning of the nervous system.
Iron
  • Helps build red corpuscles needed for carrying oxygen.
There is also a combination of Calcium and Vitamin D.


Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium. For this reason, milk is an ideal food, because it contains both Vitamin D and calcium.

Another combination would be Iron and Vitamin C.


Vitamin C helps the absorption of iron. For example if you serve liver for dinner , you should include a food rich in Vitamin C like an orange, grapefruit, kiwi, cantaloupe, strawberries, tomato juice or broccoli.
