Open a Word document. Write your name and title in the document Module 10. There are three (3) parts to this assignment.
Let’s talk about what happens to the food we eat. Are you sure you know how your body absorbs nutrients from food? Well, just to be sure, let’s review. First, we will do a quick review of the anatomy of the digestive system.
Part 1:
Go to this link (How does digestion work – animationLinks to an external site.), and listen to the explanation concerning the organs and their functions of the human digestive system.
Since eating is something we all do, it is important to know how our body processes the food we take in. But first, with the knowledge you have acquired from the interactive, let’s build a human digestive system. Go to the Human Body Interactive Quiz,Links to an external site. follow the instructions, and select all the organs in the human silhouette. Take a print screen as soon as you are done to show the completion of your work. To obtain full credit, it should be above 80% correct. Copy the print screen in your Word document.
What impressed you so far from the animation and the human body interactive quiz? Give details (Minimum 50 words)
Take the quiz that is on this website to test your knowledge about the digestive systemLinks to an external site.. Do a print screen of the results. Your score should be a minimum of 7 questions right out of 8 to get full credit. Remember, you can always retake the test if you score lower than 7.
After reading Chapter 16, reviewing the digestive system, and viewing the material provided in the above link, take the self-assessment quiz in your online book.
Ok, so we know how food goes in and waste products come out, but let’s concentrate on what happens in between! You see, our bodies have to obtain the chemical energy necessary for all cellular processes (cell diffusion, osmosis, cell transport, homeostasis, etc.), the organic building blocks for macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins), and additional essential nutrients (vitamins, minerals, and water), all from the food we eat!! So, how do we make this happen? As our food is digested, the “stuff” that it needs is absorbed. Let’s take a look at how this works:
Crazy, right? I mean we just eat and don’t think about this complex process that our bodies go through as they try to get the essential nutrients our bodies need to keep us going! Let’s look at a specific example, ok? Let’s take protein, for example. We have all heard that we need to eat protein, right? Well, what exactly is protein? It is actually a macromolecule (big molecule) that is made up of smaller molecules called amino acids. Some proteins are made of a chain of only 3 amino acids, while others are made of chains of more than a thousand amino acids. The FDA has information that tells you even more about amino acids and proteins: FDA Interactive Nutrition Fact Label Website Links to an external site.
Part 2:

How many amino acids are there?
What do amino acids do?
What are the two categories of amino acids?

Where is protein found? (provide at least three examples)
What does protein do? (provide at least three examples)
What can happen if we eat less processed meat?
Name and explain the three types of dietary proteins.
What is the daily value for protein – based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet?

What can unsaturated fats do?
What are unsaturated fats?
Where are monounsaturated fats found? (provide at least 3 examples)
Where are polyunsaturated fats found? (provide at least 3 examples)
According to the FDA, what are some action steps for replacing saturated fat with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats in your diet?

Part 3:
Coincidentally 🙂 while working on this assignment, you receive a phone call from two of your best friends asking you if they and their kid could come to your house for dinner tonight. Of course, you say yes, because you would like to find out if they already knew this stuff about the digestive system! You even promise to cook instead of ordering out! And . . . you have decided that what you will be serving a “balanced meal.”
Now, imagine you are in your kitchen, and you are preparing a “balanced meal.” Pay attention to their age and number of calories and servings. Open the “how to plan a healthy and nutritious meals? (YouTube Video),Links to an external site. then review the estimated calorie needs per day by age, gender, and physical activity level Download the estimated calorie needs per day by age, gender, and physical activity level, and the food groups in the Let’s Eat Healthy Website.Links to an external site. Then start cooking a balanced meal!
In your Word document, under Part 3, write:
The kid’s age, their calorie level, gender, and physical activity level.
The explanation you gave your friends about the meaning of a balanced meal. Make sure you give them details. (minimum 50 words)
Write one menu that comprises the five categories for the balanced dinner (fruits, grains, vegetables, proteins, and dairy). You could create several dishes or just one dish comprising the five categories. Explain the nutritional components in each of your selections.
Finally, choose one day of your week and take a picture of what you have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Include the three pictures in your Word file.
Investigate online what essential nutrients you ate during those three meals and write your answers in the Word document.
