The Importance of balancing macronutrients

Proteins

  • Grow (especially important for children, teens and pregnat women.
  • tissue repair
  • immune function
  • making essential hormones and enzymes
  • energy when carbohydrates are not available
  • preserving lean muscle mass

Fats

  • The canadian food guide directly effects Canadian all across the country and it inadequately explains proper nutrition without a bias

What are Macronutrients

Marco- "Large"

Nutrients- substances needed for growth, metabolism, and for other body functions. Therefore Macronutrients are needed in large amounts

  • normal growth and development
  • energy (fat is the most concentrated source of energy
  • absorbing certain vitamins (A,D,E,K & carotenoids)
  • providing cushioning for the organs
  • mantaining cell membranes
  • providing taste, consistency and stability to foods

there are three macronutrients

Curruption and history of the food guide

  • the food guide was created during WW1 to create rationing
  • has been redeveloped over the years but not without a bias
  • 25% of the people helping to redevelop the food guide were employed by corperations that would directly profit from the changes made to the food guide
  • The BC Dairy Industry, Vegetable & Oil Industry, and PepsiCo, Frito-Lay and Coca-Cola all
  • had persons that represented their interests  Children are encouraged to drink 3 cups of milk or milk alternatives.
  •  8oz chocolate milk contains 24g of sugar
  •  A Childs daily recommendation is 22grams

Carbohydrates:

  • Carbohydrates are the body's main source of fule.
  • they can be stored in the muscles and liver and later used for energy.
  • Carbohydrates are mainly found in starchy foods (like grain and potatoes), fruits, milk yogurt,
  • they can be found in other foods like vegetable, beans, nuts, seeds and cheese but in lesser amounts

pros v.s cons

  • The most up to date info will then be avaliable to Canadians
  • Canadians can make better health related decisions that lead to better health
  • information can be explained in an easier format
  • It will take a longer time for people to understand the new food guide
  • the major food industries like meat, grain, dairy and sugar will oppose the chances due to profit

Why balance macronutrients?

Conclusions

  • Do not allow anyone that is profiting to sit on the committee
  • Have changes reviewed by a third party who is has a pre-existed understanding of food and nutrition to ensre that it is uptodate
  • Carbs control insulin
  • glycose (carbs) are inflammatory
  • saturated fats (omega-3) prevent oxidative damage
  • abundant protein aids cells in becoming Keto-adapted (able to convert protein into energy)/
