Basic concepts of proper nutrition: macro- and micronutrients

For anyone interested in a healthy lifestyle and trying to eat right, it is very important to have an understanding of the basics.

Not only about how to achieve harmony and balance, but also how to constantly maintain them at a high level. And to do this without understanding how our body functions, simply will not work. But it's just an amazing mechanism! We move, think and breathe, the brain is constantly working, and the heart is beating. All this activity would not be possible without chemicals called nutrients. In this article on How to Green, we will explain what these nutrients are, how they provide us with the energy we need, and why it is so important to pay attention to them.

What are nutrients?

We return to the school curriculum of biology. Foods consumed every day and consisting of inorganic and organic substances are called nutrients or nutrients. According to the World Health Organization, they make it possible to build and renew the cells and tissues of our body, play a leading role in the regulation of all life-supporting functions of the body. Nutrients are divided into micronutrients and macronutrients. Both are equally necessary to keep our bodies working. Together they provide us with energy, help in the production of hormones and enzymes, and nourish our tissues and organs.

Three major macronutrients

Macronutrients are needed by our body in large quantities, and their deficiency or complete absence provokes various serious diseases. Macronutrients include proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It is important to understand that counting macronutrients is not the same as counting calories. Readers of How to Green have long known that 100 calories from vegetables or fruits and 100 calories from sweets are two different things. In order to start eating right, you need to focus on macronutrients, not calories. Make sure your diet is balanced in terms of macronutrients and you get enough proteins, fats and carbohydrates, because malnutrition promises problems with both health and excess weight, which you can read in detail in this article (and at this link you will learn than you are threatened by a lack of carbohydrates in the diet).

What are micronutrients?

Micronutrients are needed by our body in small amounts - in milligrams or even micrograms. These include vitamins and minerals. If you go into details, micronutrients, in turn, are divided into macronutrients (phosphorus, calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium and others) and microelements (more than 30, including iron, iodine, fluorine). Our health, well-being and mood directly depend on micronutrients. Should micronutrients be closely monitored? Most doctors are inclined to believe that it is not. With a healthy diet, getting enough micronutrients is not a problem. If you eat a balanced and varied diet, eat enough fresh greens, vegetables and fruits, nuts and quality vegetable oils, whole grains and legumes, and possibly also fish with seafood, then your body will take all the micronutrients it needs from food. Another question is if you eat incorrectly or let it be useful, but monotonous. In this case, problems with a lack of micronutrients are most likely unavoidable. So, according to WHO, "the most common eating disorder in the world" is iron deficiency. So, if you feel constantly tired, this is a clear reason to see a doctor and take a blood test for hemoglobin levels. The lack of other micronutrients (like iron) can lead to health problems and poor health.

How much macro- and micronutrients does our body need?

If you are more comfortable knowing the exact amount of macro- and micronutrients that the body needs, then we advise you to refer to the data of the National Institutes of Health (USA). The institute researchers calculated the average level of dietary allowances (RDA) (Dietary Allowances and Adequate Intakes) sufficient to meet the needs of healthy people depending on their age and gender group, as well as the acceptable upper level of intake of macronutrients and micronutrients - UL (Upper Intake Level) or AI (Adequate Intake).

It is also important to pay attention to how food is prepared. In the matter of food processing, the rule applies - the simpler, the better, or the less the products were subjected to heat treatment, the more useful properties they retained.

If you're determined to get serious about your health, a great starting point is to talk to your doctor and do some simple blood tests to find out what micronutrients and macronutrients you're deficient in and identify any abnormalities you may have. After all, it is the nutrients that are responsible for the health, beauty and performance of your body. The body uses dozens of different beneficial micronutrients every hour of every day to keep us energized, producing enzymes and hormones. While macronutrients provide us with everything we need for daily existence, they give us energy and strength, without which we simply would not be able to get out of bed.

Energy and nutrient requirements of children

Energy requirements

Young children have a higher energy intake per kilogram of body weight than adults, as part of it is used for growth. 2-3-year-old children spend about 3% on growth, and older children less than 2% of the energy received.

Average energy requirement for children aged 1-2 years per kilogram of body weight and estimated daily requirement based on average weight. The amount of energy takes into account breast milk (or formula) and age-appropriate solid foods.

The total amount of necessary energy in children and adolescents depends on the rate of metabolic, the level of physical activity and the amount of energy expended on growth expenditure .

Within the same age group, the weight of children can vary significantly, especially during adolescence. When calculating the amount of energy needed, for example, in overweight children, the result may be too high, since the main calculation criterion is body weight. When estimating the amount of energy needed based solely on body weight, it is not taken into account that an overweight body contains a relatively high percentage of fat, but it is still necessary to calculate energy needs from normal weight. Therefore, when calculating the required amount of energy consumed for an overweight child, it is worth proceeding from his height and the corresponding normal body weight.

¹ The interest in the table satisfies at least 97-98 % of the physiological needs needs of a person for some objective reason (for example, weight loss or something else) daily energy intake is below the recommended minimum, the required amount of proteins and fats should be calculated based on the minimum amount of energy needed per day

³ Percentage of energy from carbohydrates also includes energy from dietary fiber; usually it is 2-3% E

⁴ Trans fats are also natural. Their constant content should not exceed more than 1%E per day. This amount should not be consistently exceeded by following these nutritional guidelines.

Protein Requirements

The recommended protein intake for infants is based on an assessment of basic and growth requirements, the efficiency of digestion of dietary proteins into body proteins, and individual growth rate. For children aged 12-21 months, protein should make up 10-15% of dietary energy.

Excess protein intake in early childhood increases the risk of obesity in the future. Based on the available data, it can be assumed that excessive protein intake in the amount of 15-20% of total energy intake during the first two years of life can provoke obesity later in life.

In accordance with the recommendations, up to 75% of the protein in the diet of children and adolescents should come from animal protein with a high biovalue.

Fat requirements of young children

9000 9000 9000 9000

When a child reaches the age of one, the proportion of fats in the diet gradually increases, and by the age of three reaches the level of consumption of an adult. If less than the recommended amount of fat is consumed in early childhood, this can cause a lack of energy.

Fiber requirement

From the age of two, a child needs 8-13 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories. From school age, this number increases and gradually reaches the level recommended by adults.

Recommendations for added sugar.

The daily amount of added sugars (sucrose, fructose and carbohydrate hydrolyzate) should be kept below 10%E (ideally below 5%E).

Fluid requirement

In case of thirst, drinking water without additives should always be preferred. The fluid requirement of children per kilogram of body weight is higher than that of adults, since the fluid content in their bodies is also higher. Regardless of age, the feeling of thirst is a sign of a lack of fluid, which must be eliminated as quickly as possible, that is, replenish the level, preferably with ordinary drinking water.
