COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed for science and non-science individuals interested in the nutrition, biology, chemistry, engineering and microbiology of food and how foods affect ones health and impacts on their environment. This course provides students with a vocabulary of nutrition and food science terms that will enable them to understand, discuss, and evaluate nutrition and food science topics. Students should come away from this course being able to understand and have conversations about general nutrition and food science information presented to them through magazines, media, people, etc. This course provides 2 credits

WHAT IS FOOD?
Food
is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells in an effort to produce energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth.
It
The
Historically, people secured food through two methods: hunting and gathering, and agriculture. Today, most of the food energy consumed by the world population is supplied by the food industry.
WHAT IS NUTRIENT?
Nutrients are used by the body to provide energy and to support growth, maintenance and repair of body tissues

Carbohydrates Vitamins
Fats
Water
CARBOHYDRATES
Carbos
provide most of the energy for animals. Energy is measured in calories. Helps with growth, fattening. Carbos come from sugars, starches, and roots.
FATS
Are
concentrated energy, 2.25 times more than carbos. Used as energy reserves, protect vital organs, insulate body.
PROTEINS
Proteins
are essential for growth and repair in cells Proteins help form muscles, internal organs, skin, hair.
WATER
Controls
body temp. Helps shape body Transports nutrients Aids digestion Carries out waste Lubricates joints
MINERALS
Are
needed in all parts of the body, especially bones and teeth. Affect all body functions, including heartbeat and blood oxygen level! Are ESSENTIAL for body functions.
VITAMINS
Vitamins
are only needed in small amounts, but they are essential. Protect against disease, promote growth, and contribute to overall balanced health.
FOOD SAFETY
Food safety is a scientific discipline describing handling, preparation, and storage of food in ways that prevent foodborne illness. This includes a number of routines that should be followed to avoid potentially severe health hazards.
