1 Nutritional Glossary This glossary provides nutrition information about the nutrients commonly found in fruits, vegetables, and other plant foods Each glossary definition has a long and a short version. Each version can stand alone as an accurate description of a nutrient.. The Nutrition Glossary is available as an educational tool on the Network s Communications Resource Library at Organization of the Definitions: An alphabetized Index of Contents is available below to show readers what the glossary includes. The glossary terms are then organized into three categories general nutrient information, vitamins, and minerals as a way to further educate readers about the classifications of each term. Literacy Level: The champion foods section is an alphabetical list of foods that are good or excellent natural sources of the nutrient being described. A food that is a good source of a nutrient has percent of the recommended daily value of the nutrient per half cup portion. A food that is an excellent source of a nutrient has 20 or more percent of the recommended daily value of the nutrient per half cup portion. Exceptions to this rule are the champion foods for folate and thiamin, as plant sources for these nutrients are often fortified. The champion foods list is not all-inclusive but meant to give a quick example of the variety of common foods that provide various health benefits as part of a balanced diet. The champion foods list for water is not alphabetical as the obvious best source for water is water.

2 General Nutrient Information Nutrients Nutrients are needed for life. They are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, water, vitamins, and minerals. The body uses nutrients to grow, work, and fix itself. Everyone needs nutrients from food, but different amounts are needed depending on a person s age, gender, and physical activity level. There are two types of nutrients: Macronutrients are needed in larger amounts and include carbohydrates, protein, fats, and water. Micronutrients are needed in smaller amounts than macronutrients and include vitamins and minerals. Nutrients are needed for life. They are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, water, vitamins, and minerals. The body uses nutrients to grow, work, and fix itself. Calories Calories measure the energy found in food. Just as minutes measure time and inches measure length, calories measure the amount of energy found in a food. The body needs energy to function, which is why food is needed for life. Calories are found in carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and alcohol. Calories measure the energy found in food. The body needs energy to function, which is why food is needed for life. CHAMPION FOODS INCLUDE: Vegetables, fruits, beans, whole grains, lean meats, and lowfat dairy foods. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are the body s main source of energy. Carbohydrates are found in most foods and come in two forms: Simple carbohydrates (also known as simple sugars) give you quick energy and are found naturally in foods like fruits, vegetables, and milk. Some simple carbohydrates, such as white or brown sugar, high fructose corn syrup, molasses, or honey, are often added to foods. Complex carbohydrates (also known as starches) give you longer lasting energy and can be found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans. One gram of carbohydrate has 4 calories.

Fiber Fiber is found only in plant foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds. Fiber comes in two forms: Insoluble Fiber is known as roughage and helps move food through the body to prevent constipation. It also helps control blood sugar levels.
3 Soluble Fiber helps pull cholesterol out of the body. It also helps control blood sugar levels and keep food in the stomach longer so that you feel full. Fiber may also help lower the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer. Fiber helps you feel full, keep normal blood sugar levels, and avoid constipation. It is found only in plant foods. **CHAMPION FOODS INCLUDE: Beans, blackberries, dates, peas, pears, pumpkin, raspberries, whole wheat cereal, and whole wheat bread or crackers. Fats Fats are nutrients that make cells, protect the body s organs, and help absorb certain vitamins. Fats come in many forms and some are healthier than others: Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are oils that help to lower bad cholesterol (LDL) levels and may raise the good cholesterol (HDL) levels. Both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are found in plants, nuts, and fish. Saturated and trans fats are solid fats that raise the bad (LDL) cholesterol. Trans fats also lower the good (HDL) cholesterol levels. Saturated fats are normally found in animal products (butter, whole milk, beef, and pork), while trans fats come from hydrogenated vegetable oils (shortening, and margarine) used in pre-cooked foods (fried foods, cakes, crackers). One gram of fat has 9 calories. Fats are nutrients that make cells, protect the body s organs, and help absorb certain vitamins. One gram of fat has 9 calories. CHAMPION FOODS INCLUDE: Avocado, canola oil, some fish, nuts, olives, and olive oil are all good sources of healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Proteins Proteins are nutrients found in both plant and animal sources. Proteins are made of amino acids, which the body uses to build and fix itself. There are two types of protein: Complete proteins are made of all of the amino acids the body needs to survive. Proteins from animal products (like meat, milk, and poultry) and soy beans are complete proteins. Incomplete proteins are missing one or more of the amino acids that the body needs to survive. Proteins from plant sources (like grains, fruits, and vegetables) are examples of incomplete proteins. Eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains will help the body get all of the amino acids it needs. One gram of protein has 4 calories. Proteins are nutrients that build and fix the cells that make up the body. One gram of protein has 4 calories. CHAMPION FOODS INCLUDE: Beans, eggs, fish, lean meats, lowfat dairy foods, poultry, and soy foods. Water The body needs water to live. Water helps control the body s temperature, use nutrients found in food, and carry oxygen from the lungs and food from the stomach to the rest of the body. Water helps
4 avoid constipation and helps keep the eyes, nose, and mouth moist. The water found in fruits and vegetables helps people reach the total amount of fluids they need to drink each day.

Removing free radicals from the body may lower the risk of some types of cancer and help keep the immune system healthy.
