Teaching the Foods Teacher ... about Food
Alexander Bohn Pd.3 - 11/05/08
People must consume nutrients in order to survive. The enegy these foods supply is meausured in calories. A person with a regular diet should strive for a diet made of 55% carbohydrates, 30% fat, and 15% protein. The amount of calories a person should consume is dependant upon the age, weight, and physical activity of the person. Everyone is different. (It is important to remember that the calories on the label are actually kilocalories.) Liquids are essential to calorie consumption, as 1/2 tsp is needed for every calorie. A diet with lots of water will flush the system of bad and add no calories. Also grass provides fiber to help flush the system as well, adding nutrients (good) and removing bad. The penguin hunts fish, adding protein and fat because the penguin needs more of these to survive winter, unlike the human, who requires more short-term energy from carbs. When looking at biology, a animal's lifestyle is dependant on the climate, like a penguin who walks the tundra in the cold, living off fat stores. Yet the climate determines the diet, which helps the lifestyle. It becomes a vicious circle of diet, lifestyle, and climate, a circle comparable to rock paper and scissors.
