• Nutrients are substances (specific dietary
constituents) that are crucial for human life,
growth & well-being.
• Macronutrients (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins &
water) are needed for energy and cell
multiplication & repair.
• Micronutrients are trace elements & vitamins,
which are essential for metabolic processes.

Nutritional requirementsNutritional requirementsRecommended Dietary Allowances (RDA):
The level of nutrients considered to be adequate to meet the
nutritional needs of all healthy persons.
Knowledge of RDA is necessary to:
• Assess the nutritional adequacy of diets for
growth of infants, children and adolescents.
• Maintain health in adults of both sexes and
during pregnancy and lactation.

• Good fats are the oils found in nuts, seeds, grains and fish.
• They are high in the unsaturated fats necessary for good health.
• Good fats should contribute 30 to 45% of the total fat.
• Avoid saturated fats (animal fats and tropical oils e.g. coconut) to minimize the risk of heart disease.
• Trans-saturated fats are mainly found in margarines and commercial baked foods.

PROTEINSPROTEINS• Proteins are complex organic nitrogenous
compounds.• They also contain sulfur and in some cases
phosphorous and iron.• Proteins are made of monomers called amino
acids.• There are about 20 different aminoacids which
are found in human body.• Of this 8-9 aa are termed “essential” as they
are not synthesized in human body and must be obtained from dietary proteins.

• Dietary fiber is mainly non-starch polysaccharide
• It is found in vegetables, fruits and grains.
• SolubleSoluble fiber swells or dissolves in water
– Rich sources include apples, bananas, citrus fruits, carrots
• Importance:
– Reduces cholesterol absorption
– Slows absorption of glucose

– Rich food sources include brown rice, wheat bran,
and whole grain products
• Importance:• High fiber diet reduces the risk of heart disease,
diabetes type II, diverticulosis, hemorrhoids, constipation, and possibly colorectal cancer
* Refined foods lose fiber-rich parts during processing

Absorption, Metabolism of Folate
• Absorbed in the monoglutamate form with help of folate conjugase
• Actively absorbed during low to moderate intake• Passively absorbed during high intake• Delivered to the liver where it is changed back
to the polyglutamate form• Mostly stored in the liver• Excreted in the urine and bile (enterohepatic
circulation)
