Energy (エネルギー)

Japanese page

Characteristics of nutrients

  • In nutrition it expresses the power obtained from food
  • The unit expressing energy is cal (calorie)
  • International organizations use joule
  • 1000 cal = 1 kcal
  • 1 kcal = 4.18 joule
  • * 1 kcal is the energy required to increase 1 kg of water to 14.5 degrees to 15.5 degrees (1 degree)

 

Function of nutrients

  • Source to move the body
  • Make the brain function
  • Motive force to live
  • Lots of activity = Lots of energy consumption
  • The balance between activity level and energy is important
  • Energy is necessary to maintain life, such as moving organs even when resting
  • If you take more energy (carbohydrates or lipids) than the amount used in the activity amount, that amount is accumulated in the body

When nutrients are deficient

  • too skinny
  • Get tired easily
  • Declining thinking ability
  • Decreased exercise capacity

When nutrients overdose

  • obesity
  • Glycosuria

Dietary fiber(食物繊維)

Japanese page

Characteristics of nutrients

  • It is classified as “insoluble dietary fiber” and “water soluble dietary fiber”
  • Insoluble dietary fiber = bowel movement promotion, intestinal action
  • Water soluble dietary fiber = Improvement of intestinal bacteria, suppression of blood pressure rise
  • The balance between insoluble and water soluble is 2: 1 the best
  • It does not become a constituent or energy constituting the body
  • Work to drain extra nutrition
  • Not digested and absorbed

Function of nutrients

  • It has the effect of promoting skin metabolism
  • To normalize the mucosa of the skin, throat, nose, gastrointestinal tract
  • Prevent diabetes, hypertension, night blindness
  • Stimulates intestinal mucosa and promotes laxation (constipation prevention)
  • It will drain extra lipid, sugar, sodium etc

When nutrients are deficient

  • constipation
  • Obesity, diabetes
  • Arteriosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, etc..

When nutrients overdose

  • There is no need to worry about taking too much with a normal meal

  • Carbohydrates are digested and absorbed = carbohydrates
  • Those not digested and absorbed = dietary fiber
  • It will be 4 kcal of energy per gram of carbohydrate
  • Since it burns fast, as soon as it is absorbed by the body it becomes energy
  • When vitamin B1 is insufficient, it is hard to be absorbed

Function of nutrients

  • Become an energy source to move the brain and body
  • Only bone, red blood cells, nervous system, muscle, etc. will be energy source
  • Activate the brain

When nutrients are deficient

  • Become tired easily
  • Thinking ability declines
  • Muscles weaken
  • lose weight

When nutrients overdose

  • Extra carbohydrates are stored as body fat
