Healthy diet
• A healthy diet is one that helps
  maintain or improve general health.
  It is important for lowering many
  chronic health risks. A balanced diet
  must contain carbohydrate, protein,
  fat, vitamins, mineral salts.It must
  contain these things in the correct
  proportions.
Balanced diet
                                                      02/01/2012




A balanced diet should contain fats, proteins and
carbohydrates in roughly these amounts:




                                            Carbohydrates
                                            Fat
                                            Protein



It should also contain water, vitamins, minerals .
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates
• These provide a source of energy.
• We obtain most of our carbohydrate
  in the form of starch. This is found
  in potato, rice, spaghetti, yams,
  bread and cereals. Our digestive
  system turns all this starch into
  another carbohydrate called
  glucose. Glucose is used by our
  tissues as a source of energy.
Proteins
Proteins
• Proteins are required for growth
  and repair.Proteins are very large
  molecules, so they cannot get
  directly into our blood; they must
  be turned into amino-acids by
  the digestive system. Our cells get
  their amino-acids from the blood.
Fats

FOOD
FAT
• Fats are used as a source of energy:
  they are also stored beneath the
  skin helping to insulate us against
  the cold. Do not think that by
  avoiding fat in your diet you will
  stay thin and elegant
• You must have some fat in your diet
  because it contains fat soluble
  vitamins.
Vitamins
Vitamins
  Vitamin A: good for your eyes.
  Vitamin B: about 12 different
  chemicals.
  Vitamin C: needed for your
  body to repair itself.
  Vitamin D: can be made in your
  skin, needed for absorption of
  Calcium.
  Vitamin E: the nice one -
  reproduction
Poor diets
                                                               02/01/2012




If we don’t have a balanced diet we may suffer form a
“deficiency symptom”:

         Lack of…          Causes…

         Vitamin D         Anaemia

         Protein           Scurvy (bleeding gums and joints)

         Vitamin C         Weak bones and teeth

         Vitamin A         Wasting of body tissue

         Iron              Rickets

         Calcium           Poor night vision
HAEMOGLOBIN
A drop of blood contains millions of red blood cells,
or erythrocytes. These specialised cells are like
flattened discs, which gives them a much greater
surface area with which to exchange oxygen and
carbon dioxide in the lungs and with body cells.
Red blood cells are able to carry oxygen so
efficiently because of a special protein inside them:
haemoglobin. In fact, it is the haemoglobin that is
responsible for the colour of the red blood cell.
Haemoglobin contains an iron atom at its centre.
Illness
• Rickets is a disease of growing bone due to
  deficiency of vitamin D, magnesium.
Scurvy

• Scurvy is a condition where an individual has a
  vitamin C (ascorbic acid) deficiency. The name
  scurvy comes from the Latin scorbutus, and
  humans have known about the disease since
  ancient Greek and Egyptian times.
