 Notes to the Learners
In this lesson, the learners are expected to identify the
proper Nutrients need of our body and proper diet. Highlighting
the identification of different nutrients and sources of food need
by our body. Give examples as much as possible to help the
learners improve their analytic capabilities when encounter.

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It will help you develop
knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the performance of Food Tech. The scope of this
module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language
used recognizes the vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow
the standard sequence of the course.

The module is divided into three lessons, namely:

● Lesson 1 – Nutrients
● Lesson 2 – The Importance of Nutritional Food

Balanced diet one that gives your body the nutrients it needs to function correctly.
To get the proper nutrition from your diet, you should consume the majority of
your daily calories in

To get the proper nutrition from your diet, you should consume the majority of
your daily calories in:

 fresh fruits
 fresh vegetables

11
City of Good Character
DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE
  whole grains
 legumes

Read the information sheet 1.1 very well then find out how much you can
remember and how much you learned by doing the Self – check 1.1

Information sheet 1.1

Balanced diet - means eating the right kind of food with the right amount at
the right time.
Right kind of food - nutritious food
Right amount - from the food pyramid
Right time - breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner

Balanced meal - include one food from each food group- Milk & Milk

Products; Vegetables; Fruits; Grains and Meat & Beans.

A balanced diet is important because your organs and tissues need proper
nutrition to work effectively. Without good nutrition, your body is more prone to
disease, infection, fatigue, and poor performance. Children with a poor diet run
the risk of growth and developmental problems and poor academic performance.
A calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of
water by one degree Celsius. Calories in food provide energy in the form of heat so
that our bodies can function. Our bodies store and "burn" calories as fuel. Many
dieters count calories and try to decrease caloric intake to lose weight

Read the information sheet 1.1 very well then find out how much you can
remember and how much you learned by doing the Self – check 1.1

Information sheet 1.1

Digestion
is the change of food from a complex to a simpler form and from an insoluble to a
soluble state in the digestive tract.These changes facilitate absorption through the
intestinal walls into circulation for eventual use by the body cells . The processes of
digestion occur simultaneously:
Absorption
is the passage of soluble digested food materials through the intestinal walls into
the blood, either directly or through osmosis by way of the lymphatic system. The
primary site of absorption is in the small intestine.Tiny finger like projections called
villi, which contain
small capillaries (tiny blood vessels), line the intestinal wall. The villi are in
constant motion and trap the tiny nutrients, which are then taken in by the
adjacent cells and transported through the circulatory and lymphatic system to
every body cell. Microvilli are even smaller projections on the surface of the villi.
Metabolism
can be of a constructive nature, resulting in the building up of new substances.
This is called anabolism. If metabolism is of a destructive or oxidative nature,
resulting in the release of energy, it is called catabolism. Energy metabolism refers
to the oxidation of the macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein, and fat) within the
body, resulting in the release of heat and energy. Metabolic rate refers to the rate at
which food energy is burned, with a high metabolic rate requiring a high amount of
calories and a low metabolic rate requiring few calories to sustain life.
