front 1 A healthy diet provides: | back 1 enough of all essential nutrients to avoid deficiencies but not excessive amounts that may increase the risk of nutrient toxicities or chornic diseases |
front 2 These 4 of the 10 leading causes of death in the U.S. are associated with dietary excesses: | back 2 heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes |
front 3 These 3 health problems are related to, at least in part, to dietary excesses: | back 3 obesity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia |
front 4 A healthy diet has the potential to: | back 4 alleviate the high economic and personal costs of morbidity and mortality associated with obesity, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia |
front 5 Dietary Reference intakes is: | back 5 a series of 8 in-depth reports |
front 6 Dietary reference intakes cover: | back 6 vitamins, minerals, the energy nutrients, cholesterol, fiber, electrolytes and water |
front 7 Dietary reference intake includes: | back 7 RDA's, EAR, AI, and UL |
front 8 RDA = | back 8 Recommended dietary allowances |
front 9 EAR = | back 9 Estimated average requirement |
front 10 AI = | back 10 Adequate intake |
front 11 UL = | back 11 Tolerable upper intake level |
front 12 DRI is based on | back 12 reviewing available scientific data, assessing nutrient function to reduce risk of chronic and other diseases, and evaluating nutrient consumption levels among U.S. and Candian populations |
front 13 DRI applies to: | back 13 various individuals and population groups |
front 14 Old RDAs have been replaced with the DRIs that incorporate: | back 14 an expanded focus of reducing the risk of chronic diseases associated with dietary excesses |
front 15 Recommended Dietary Allowances represent: | back 15 the average daily recommended intake to meet the nutrient requirements of: 97-98% of health individuals by life stages and gender |
front 16 RDAs are based on: | back 16 specific criteria indicators |
front 17 RDAs set: | back 17 high enough to account for daily variations in intake |
front 18 Estimated Average Requirement is the: | back 18 amount of a nutrient that is estimated to meet the requirement of half (50%) of healthy people in a lifestyle or gender group |
front 19 EAR are not based solely on: | back 19 the prevention of nutrient deficiencies |
front 20 Tolerable Upper Intake Level is: | back 20 the highest level of average daily nutrient intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health effects to almost all individuals in the general population |
front 21 TUL is: | back 21 not intended to be a recommended level of intake |
front 22 AI is: | back 22 a set when an RDA cannot be determined due to lack of sufficient data on requirements |
front 23 Adequate Intake is a: | back 23 recommended average daily intake level though to meet or exceed the needs of virtually all members of a life stage/gender group based on observed or experimentally determine estimates of nutrient intake by group of healthy people |
front 24 Primary purpose of the AI is: | back 24 as a goal for the nutrient intake of individuals |
front 25 AMDR = | back 25 Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges |
front 26 AMDR are: | back 26 broad ranges for each energy nutrient |
front 27 AMDR are expressed as: | back 27 a percentage of total calories consumed |
front 28 AMDR are associated with: | back 28 reduced risk of chronic disease while providing adequate intakes of essential nutrients |
front 29 Protein AMDR = | back 29 10-35% |
front 30 Carbohydrates AMDR = | back 30 45-65% |
front 31 Fat AMDR = | back 31 20-35% |
front 32 Dieticians use this more: | back 32 Estimated Energy Requirements |
front 33 EER = | back 33 Estimated Energy Requirements |
front 34 Estimated energy requirements are similar to: | back 34 EAR |
front 35 Dietary Guidelines for Americans serves as: | back 35 the federal policy on nutrition |
front 36 Dietary Guidelines covers: | back 36 5 overarching guidelines |
front 37 Dietary guidelines features: | back 37 3 styles of healthy eating patterns |
front 38 Within each style of guidelines there are: | back 38 12 different calorie ranges from 1000 to 3200 calories |
front 39 Major themes of Dietary guidelines are to: | back 39 eat fewer calories, be more physically active, and make wiser food choices. |
front 40 We teach people about RDIs by: | back 40 balance, moderation, nutrient density, limit calories for other uses, variety |
front 41 MyPlate's message is to: | back 41 eat more fruit, vegetables and whole grains, eat less saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol, limit sweets and salt, use alcohol in moderation, if at all, balance calorie intake with calorie expenditure, by physically active most days of the week. |
front 42 Discretionary calories allow consumers to: | back 42 incorporate small amounts of calorie-dense foods into their eating plan and still meet nutrient needs without exceeding total calorie constraints |
front 43 Discretionary calories may be eaten up by choosing foods within: | back 43 the existing plan that are high in fat or added sugar |
