1.National Nutrition Month Dr. Kimberly Balas
2.Why Is Nutrition Important to Health? It is the basis of a well-functioning immune system
3.Nutritional Science Investigates the metabolic and physiological responses of the body to food and diet, including the role of nutrients in the cause, treatment and prevention of disease
4.Lack of Nutrients Malnutrition is defined by the World Health Organization as a "cellular imbalance between the supply of nutrients and energy and the body's demand for them to ensure growth, maintenance, and specific functions." Many diseases are directly or indirectly caused by a lack of essential nutrients in the diet.
5.Easy Principles
6.Nutritional Density High nutrient value for calories consumed Most important part of good nutrition Processed foods are not nutritionally dense Wild foods are extremely nutritionally dense
7.Read Labels Carefully Chemicals are one of the primary health destroyers in modern society Read labels and avoid foods that are laced with chemical additives, including artificial and “natural” flavourings
8.Seven Major Types of Nutrients Carbohydrates Fats Proteins Fibre Water Minerals Vitamins
9.Eat By Colour Fruits and veggies of all shades contain phytonutrients—plant compounds that work together to protect your health. Discover what eating more green, orange, and red can do for you.
10.Colour Is the Key To Good Nutrition Our current SAD (Standard American Diet) colour? BEIGE This diet accounts for most common diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and our national epidemic of obesity and diabetes. Fruit, vegetable, protein and supplement choices are the key for getting nutrients required for the body to function in a preventative mode. North America’s two favourite vegetables – iceberg lettuce and French fries. THEY LACK COLOUR!!!
11.Nutrition Fast Food GMO’s Dyes Sugar Hormones .
12.Inside Out Eliminate refined sugar and flour, processed foods, energy drinks and hormone-laden meats Add a variety of plant-based whole foods and clean protein to your diet These foods will flood your body with the vitamins, minerals, cancer-fighting phytochemicals, antioxidants and fibre it needs to recover from chronic inflammation Enzymes drive biological processes necessary for your body to build raw materials, circulate nutrients, eliminate unwanted chemicals, and the myriad of other biochemical processes including reducing inflammation
13.Go Green Most green fruits and vegetables are loaded with lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids that protect against eye diseases and may lower your risk of heart disease and skin cancer. Leafy greens are also a great source of energy-boosting folate.
14.Why Green Foods Are So Important The nutrients in greens support the activities of day-to-day living Protect your cells from environmental damage and repair any cellular damage Protein rebuilds injured tissue and promotes a healthy immune system Both carbohydrates and fats fuel your body, while vitamins and minerals function throughout your body in support of your body’s processes Vitamins A, C and E, for example, act as antioxidants to protect your cells against toxins, and B vitamins help you extract energy from the foods you eat Calcium and phosphorus keep your bones strong Sodium and potassium help to transmit nerve signals
15.The Power of Greens Low in calories Boost immune Complex carbohydrates Regulate blood sugars Detox Anti-inflammatory Anti-aging Healthy cholesterol levels www.PresentationPro.com
16.Importance of Magnesium Approximately 60 % of the magnesium is found in the skeleton for bone formation. There are over 3700 magnesium binding sites The remainder is found in the intracellular cytoplasm, affecting membrane permeability, nerve impulses, muscle contraction, intracellular fluid regulation, activation of enzyme systems (Magnesium acts as a metallic cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions), regulates protein synthesis, and blood viscosity. www.PresentationPro.com
17.More on Magnesium Plays a key role in hormone regulation via insulin, estrogen and thyroid hormones. Protein synthesis Nerve function Blood sugar control Blood pressure regulation Energy metabolism Production of glutathione www.PresentationPro.com
18.GreenZone A whole food supplement Seeds (Amaranth, brown rice, flaxseed, quinoa, chia, millet) Greens (kale, spirulina, alfalfa, spinach, chlorella) Vegetables (artichoke, broccoli, red beet, asparagus, carrot) Fruits (papaya, acerola), fructooligosaccharides, Herbs (licorice root, parsley, pau d’arco, lemon grass, horsetail) Sodium copper chlorophyllin
19.GreenZone Plant protein, greens, whole foods, herbs, enzymes, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals GreenZone provides unsaturated omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. It also contains nutrient-rich greens such as kale, broccoli, alfalfa, chlorophyll, artichoke, asparagus, parsley, spinach and chlorella—plus carrots, beets, acerola fruit, lemon bioflavonoids and flax hull lignans to help supplement and alkalize the diet Is easily metabolized into energy and helps promote proper bodily functions, including waste elimination and immune capability.
20.GreenZone Contains protein-rich grains such as quinoa, amaranth seeds, brown rice, millet and spirulina and chia A study published in the "British Journal of Nutrition" showed that chia seeds as a dietary fat source can lower triglycerides and cholesterol levels while increasing HDL or "good" cholesterol. The study also found that when substituting chia seeds for other fat sources, such as corn oil, the ALA was able to prevent high triglyceride levels and reduce central obesity. Chia seeds can play an important role in regulating insulin levels. They can reduce insulin resistance and decrease abnormally high levels of insulin in the blood. Two tablespoons of chia seeds contain 18 percent of the DRI for calcium, 35 percent for phosphorus, 24 percent for magnesium and about 50 percent for manganese. These nutrients help you prevent hypertension and maintain a healthy weight, and are important for energy metabolism and a part of DNA synthesis.
21.Liquid Chlorophyll Helps cellular hydration Blood cleansing Improves oxygen uptake Antioxidant-type properties Reduces inflammation
22.Liquid Chlorophyll Water soluble Assimilates quickly Works more in the blood and lymph Creates electrical conductivity Inhibits the ability of certain chemicals to cause mutations in bacteria Helpful for bloating Body odour
23.Chlorophyll Caps Fat soluble Rich in Magnesium Helps with spastic colon Cell regeneration and reproduction of healthy cells Supports immune system Protects lungs, liver, gallbladder Vitamin K Vitamin E www.PresentationPro.com
24.Nature’s Harvest Contains 13 grams of vegetable protein from peas, brown riceand legumes per serving Also contains nutritious seeds (amaranth, brown rice, quinoa, flax seed hull lignans, chia), greens (alfalfa, chlorella, spinach, kale, parsley), and antioxidant fruits (mangosteen, goji, blueberry and cranberry) Also provides essential fatty acids, fibre and 75% of the DV for 18 essential vitamins and minerals Vegan, dairy-free and lactose-free
25.Discover Orange Orange and yellow foods (think carrots, squash, sweet potatoes) boast carotenoids like beta-carotene, a type of vitamin A that boosts your immune system.
26.Mushrooms Many mushrooms have immune boosting, cancer fighting, heart protecting and health building actions Mushrooms, even the cremini mushrooms commonly sold in grocery stores are nutritionally-dense, low calorie foods
27.Sweet Potatoes/Yams Lower glycemic index, higher nutritional density than potatoes, use as an alternative for better nutrition Contain calcium, potassium, phosphorus, copper, manganese, vitamins A, C and B6, and beta carotene
28.Winter Squashes Pumpkin and other winter squashes are rich in fibre, vitamin C and all three types of carotene-family phytochemicals: alpha, beta, and gamma They also contain folic acid, calcium, magnesium, and potassium
29.Good Fats Needed for brain and nervous system health Necessary for some hormones and immune functions Reduce sugar cravings Needed for cellmembranes Preferred heart fuel Keep skin soft Keep body warm
30.Essential Fatty Acids Prevents negative gene expression Production of prostaglandins, which regulate body functions such as heart rate, blood pressure and blood clotting Regulates and reduces inflammation Regulates hormone functions Transports carotenoids for antioxidant protection Facilitates absorption of Vitamins A, D, E and K
