Basic Diet Information - Costa del Diet

The simple three parts to the diet program involve nutrition, exercise and what we term behavioral factors. In this first article we explore nutrition - no big surprises here:

What are some of the different food groups and how are they required by the body for normal function, repair and growth ?

Humans require a mixed diet from different food groups in order to achieve and maintain a balance in the body. Deficiencies will result in illness, fatigue abnormal functioning and a breakdown in homeostasis. The main food groups and how they are used for normal body function repair and growth are as follows:

Firstly let us consider Proteins. These are essential for growth and cellular repair and found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products mainly. Proteins are broken down into amino acids which are then absorbed. These are used to form enzymes, hormones, ad cell proteins. There are basically two main types of amino acids - essential amino acids which can not be synthesized by the body and therefore rely on diet and non essential amino acids.

Next lets consider Carbohydrates. These are essential for energy in the body and obtained from cereals, bread, potatoes, pasta and sugars.. They consist of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen and are classified according to chemical complexity: 1 Monosaccharides e.g. glucose, 2 disaccharides e.g. sucrose and 3 polysaccharides e.g. glycogen.

Thirdly we come to Fats. These are essential for energy and cell growth and obtained mainly from dairy products and oils. Fats can be classified as saturated fat (animal), cholesterol - which can be manufactured in the body or found in egg yolk, full fat dairy and meat and unsaturated or vegetable fats. Fat has several main functions within the body. It is a source of energy and heat, protection e.g. eyes and kidneys, transportation of fat soluble vitamins, component of nerve sheaths and has a role in the formation of hormones. Fat also acts as an energy store, insulation under skin and slows down the emptying of the stomach.

Vitamins should also be considered. These are essential for growth and cellular maintenance and usually acquired fro fruit and vegetables. A balanced diet is essential as the body requires vitamins in small quantities for normal functioning. e.g. Vitamin A needed for vision, teeth and bone formation, Vitamin C for bones, teeth and iron absorption and Vitamin E for cell membrane protection.

Mineral salts are also necessary in small quantities e.g. Calcium for bone, teeth, blood clotting and nerve and muscle formation. Phosphorous needed in bone and teeth and nerve formation. Sodium is needed for fluid balance, nerve impulses. Iron is needed for production of haemoglobin in RBC and Iodine is necessary for production of thyroid hormones.

Finally we need to include non-starch polysaccharides or dietary fiber usually obtained from bran and cellulose. This is needed to provide bulk, satisfy appetite, stimulate peristalsis, add bulk to faeces via water attraction and help prevent gastrointestinal diseases and disorders. These then are the main food groups and their main functions.
