Function
Carbohydrates: Sources of Energy. Example: rice, corn, sweet potatoes,
potatoes, cassavas
Functions generally are fat as an energy source, food store, protect vital organs Example: meet, butter, milk, egg, fish oil, coconuts, candlenuts, peanuts, avocado
Protein Function: formation of the body's main structure, cell regeneration, coordination of biological process in the body. Example: meet, fish, egg, cheese, soybeans, peanuts, and green beans
Vitamin Functions: substances that help Accelerate chemical reactions in the body
Vitamin A: Strengthen body. Example: liver, fish oil, animal fat, egg yolk, yello vegetables (carrot)
Vitamin B:
B1: help the body oxidaze acquired food to energy. Example: green beans, green vegetables, liver, milk, meet
B2: cellular respiration, keeping the cornea and the nervous system, improving the transfer of stimulus (light) to the eye nerves. Example: liver, egg, milk, and yeast
B6: help the body process proteins and is important in cellular respiration. Example:
eggs, meat, potatoes, and Cabbages
B12: help blood cell regeneration. Example: meat, milk, and yeast
Vitamin C: collagen synthesis, maintenance of epithelium, preveting nose and eshopagus infections, accelerating the production of red blood cells. Example: orange, banana, papaya, green vegetable
Vitamin D: help bone growth. Example: butter, milk, fish oil, egg yolk
Vitamin E: auxiliary reproductive system. Example: cereal, vegetable, egg, butter, and milk
Vitamin K: blooding clooting. Example: green vegetable, cereal, and liver
Mineral:
Calcium (Ca): Calcium (lime) serves as the formation of bones and teeth, turn trombokinase, and activate the working muscles and the heart. Example: grains, green vegetables, milk, eggs, and fruit
Iron (Fe)
Iron
(Ferrum) serves as the formation of hemoglobin in red blood cells that
transport oxygen process runs smoothly. Iron found in green beans, green
vegetables, and rice.
Iodine (I)
Iodine
serves to assist the formation of the hormone thyroxine produced by the thyroid
gland (goiter). Sources of iodine are saltwater fish, vegetables, milk.
Phosphorus (P)
Phosphorus
serves as the formation of bones and teeth. Sources of phosphorus are milk,
eggs, meat etc.
Potassium (K)
Affect the
functioning of the heart and hold water to regulate the osmotic pressure within
the cell. Potassium sources are fish, bananas, potatoes, etc.
Sodium (Na)
Controls the
heart rate, helps deliver nerve impulses and muscle contraction .. Source of
sodium is table salt, cheese, and green vegetables
Fluorine (F)
Prevents the
formation of dental caries and email. Fluor sources such as tea, drinking
water, vegetables
Chlorine (Cl)
Serves to
regulate the osmotic pressure and water content in the cells. Chlorine source
is salt
Water
Water is the largest component constituent protonplasma. About 60% of the
human body
consists of water. The function of water is:
a. Dissolves
food and speed up chemical reactions in the body
b.
Transporting the remaining unused burning substance
c. transporting
various substances in the body
d. Forming
fluids
e. Regulate
body heat
