All fats raise cholesterol levels. 

Dietary fat, especially saturated and trans fats, may raise blood levels of total and LDL cholesterol. Replacing some saturated fats with polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats (especially olive and canola oil) can help lower blood cholesterol.]]> 2021-06-23 02:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mpag4737/x41yf66dh1fw6t8b/wish/1620809189 mpag4737 https://padlet.com/mpag4737/x41yf66dh1fw6t8b/wish/1620809193 True or false? Give reasons.
Cutting out carbohydrates always leads to weight loss

If you are on a low-carb diet, and cutting out large groups of vegetables, fruits and grains, you may not be getting enough vital nutrients to manage your weight effectively.

Vegetarians don’t eat meat for a range of health, environmental, ethical, religious or economic reasons. There are many different types of vegetarianism. A well-planned vegetarian diet can meet nutritional needs during all stages of life. Some nutrients, such as protein, iron, calcium, zinc, vitamin B12 and vitamin D can be harder to obtain from some types of vegetarian diets.


20 major amino acids. In plant based you don't get the entire complement. Be careful of iron levels and B12 levels. ]]> 2021-06-23 02:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mpag4737/x41yf66dh1fw6t8b/wish/1620809194 mpag4737 https://padlet.com/mpag4737/x41yf66dh1fw6t8b/wish/1620809196 Which nutrient is the brain almost entirely dependent on for energy? What would this mean for very low-carb diets? 
- the brain is dependent on glucose (carbohydrates) as its energy source. Individuals with a low-carb diet may not have enough glucose for the brain to function fully, and cause issues with the brain and also may result in the production of ketone (which can be harmful for the body).]]> 2021-06-23 02:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mpag4737/x41yf66dh1fw6t8b/wish/1620809196 mpag4737 https://padlet.com/mpag4737/x41yf66dh1fw6t8b/wish/1620809197 We love to take protein to fuel our muscle growth. However our muscles can absorb only a certain amount of protein, the rest is used for other functions or pee'd out. 
Have a look at the abstract of the study in this link and get an idea of how much protein you should be eating per meal for maximal muscle growth (assuming you consume 4 meals a day). Note it down here.

0.4 g/kg/meal = 1.6g/kg/day]]> 2021-06-23 02:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mpag4737/x41yf66dh1fw6t8b/wish/1620809197 mpag4737 https://padlet.com/mpag4737/x41yf66dh1fw6t8b/wish/1620809199 Do they though? Assess this statement. 
- Not all fats make you 'fat'. There are different types of fats - unsaturated, saturated and trans saturated fats- with unsaturated fats being good for you. 
e.g. omega 3 fatty acids help decrease triglycerides]]> 2021-06-23 02:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mpag4737/x41yf66dh1fw6t8b/wish/1620809199 mpag4737 https://padlet.com/mpag4737/x41yf66dh1fw6t8b/wish/1620809202 What are two other important monosaccharides that can be found in your food?

- Alcohol is very energy dense (it has almost as much energy as fat)]]> 2021-06-23 02:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mpag4737/x41yf66dh1fw6t8b/wish/1620809203 mpag4737 https://padlet.com/mpag4737/x41yf66dh1fw6t8b/wish/1620809204 When in excess, what is the principal way in which this molecule is stored?
Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose. In excess glucose is metabolised and stored as glycogen in the liver. ]]> 2021-06-23 02:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mpag4737/x41yf66dh1fw6t8b/wish/1620809204 mpag4737 https://padlet.com/mpag4737/x41yf66dh1fw6t8b/wish/1620809205 Fibre is basically plant matter. Why is fibre important for your digestive process if it can't be digested?
Fibre speeds up the movement of matter in intestines

This includes the breakdown of your food into molecules that can be absorbed into your blood. 
Name an enzyme that takes part in your digestive process. Hint: enzymes almost universally end with the suffix "ase". 
- amylase is an enzyme that aids in the digestive process. It is found in saliva and helps breakdown carbohydrates
