Take a moment to get acquainted with our Nutri-Case characters here. And when I get stressed out, I eat. The first time I ever played basketball, in middle school, I was hooked.
I decided to take a nutrition course because, last year, I had a hard time making it through the playing season, plus keeping up with my classes and homework. Anyway, I want to figure out this food thing before basketball season starts again. Like last week, I found a website especially for dancers that explained how to get rid of bloating before an audition.
Back when Hannah was a baby, I dreamed of going to college so I could be a registered nurse. My name is Gustavo. Now I manage a large vineyard. Health problems? I guess what keeps me going is thinking about how my father died 6 months after he retired. He had colon cancer, but he never knew it until it was too late.
Throughout this text, students will follow these five characters as they grapple with various nutrition-related challenges. As they do, the characters might remind students of themselves, or of people they may know. Our hope is that by applying the information learned in this course to their own circumstances, students will deepen their understanding of the importance of nutrition in achieving a healthful life.

What exactly is nutrition, and how does what we eat influence our health? Go online for chapter quizzes, pre-tests, interactive activities, and more! Food refers to the plants and animals we consume. It provides the chemicals our body need to maintain life and support growth and health. Nutrition, in contrast, is the science that studies food and how food nourishes our body and influences our health.
It encompasses how we consume, digest, absorb, and store the chemicals in food, and how these chemicals affect our body. Nutrition also involves studying the factors that influence our eating patterns, making recommendations about the amount we should eat of each type of food, attempting to maintain food safety, and addressing issues related to the global food supply. You can think of nutrition, then, as the science that encompasses everything about food.
When compared with other scientific disciplines such as chemistry, biology, and physics, nutrition is a relative newcomer. Although food production has played a defining role in the evolution of the human species, an appreciation of the importance of nutrition to our health has developed only within the past years.
Early research in nutrition focused on making the link between dietary deficiencies and illness. For instance, in the mids, it was discovered that regular consumption of citrus fruits could prevent a potentially fatal disease called scurvy. But two centuries would pass before a deficiency of vitamin C was identified as the precise culprit.
Another early discovery in nutrition is related to pellagra, a disease characterized by a skin rash, diarrhea, and mental impairment. Originally thought to be an infectious disease, experiments conducted by Dr. Joseph Goldberger and colleagues found that pellagra could be effectively treated by changing the diet of those affected from one that was predominantly corn-based to one that included a variety of nutritious foods. Nutrition research continued to focus on identifying and preventing deficiency diseases through the first half of the 20th century.
Then, as the higher standard of living after World War II led to an improvement in the American diet, nutrition research began pursuing a new objective: supporting health and preventing and treating chronic diseases—that is, diseases that come on slowly and can persist for years, often despite treatment. Chronic diseases of particular interest to nutrition researchers include obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and various cancers.
This new research has raised as many questions as it has answered, and we still have a great deal to learn about the relationship between nutrition and chronic disease. In recent decades, advances in technology have contributed to the emergence of several exciting new areas of nutrition research. For example, reflecting our growing understanding of genetics, nutrigenomics seeks to uncover links between our genes, our environment, and our diet.
The In Depth following this chapter describes this and other new frontiers in nutrition research and health.
An appreciation of the importance of nutrition to our health has developed only within the past years. Contemporary nutrition research typically studies the influence of nutrition on chronic disease. The foods you eat also provide your body with the energy it needs to function properly. These are just two of the ways that proper nutrition supports your health. Traditionally defined as simply the absence of disease, wellness is now considered an Supports our ability to active process we work on every day.
Consuming a nutritious diet perform activities of daily living contributes to wellness in a variety of ways, including by providing the energy and functional chemicals that help us to perform activities of daily living, support our ability to concentrate and perform mental tasks, and boost our ability to ward off infections Figure 1.
Enhances our ability In this book, we focus on two critical aspects of physical health: to concentrate and nutrition and physical activity. The two are so closely related that perform mental tasks you can think of them as two sides of the same coin: our overall state of nutrition is influenced by how much energy we expend doing daily activities, and our level of physical activity has a major impact on how we use the food we eat.
We can perform more Strengthens our ability strenuous activities for longer periods when we eat a nutritious to fight infections by diet, whereas an inadequate or excessive food intake can make us maintaining our lethargic.
A poor diet, inadequate or excessive physical activity, or immune system a combination of these also can lead to serious health problems. Finally, several studies have suggested that healthful nutrition and regular physical activity can increase feelings of well-being and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.
In other words, wholeProvides opportunities some food and physical activity just plain feel good! Called Healthy People, the plan is revised every decade. Others address physical activity and the problems of overweight and obesity, which are, of course, influenced by nutrition. Table 1.
A Nutritious Diet Reduces the Risk for Disease Nutrition appears to play a role—from a direct cause to a mild influence—in the development of many diseases Focus Figure 1. As we noted, poor nutrition is a direct cause of deficiency diseases, such as scurvy and pellagra.
