Physiological and Cognitive Influences on Nutrition and Satiety

1 Physiological influences · Empty stomach · Gastric contractions · Absence of nutrients in small intestine · GI hormones · Endorphins (the brain's pleasure chemicals) are triggered by the smell, sight, or taste of foods, enhancing the desire for them 5 Postabsorptive influences (after nutrients enter the blood) · Nutrients in the blood signal the brain (via nerves and hormones) about their availability. use, and storage · As nutrients dwindle, satiety diminishes. · Hunger develops 1 Hunger 2 Seek food and start meal 5 Satiety: Several hours later B T 2 Sensory influences · Thought, sight, smell, sound, taste of food -1kg of body fat = 30 000kJ energy, BMI: < 18 underweight, >25 overweight, >30 obese. -Most satiating protein > complex carbohydrates > high fat & high sugar foods stimulate & entice appetite -Energy out: basal metabolic act.s 50-65ti, physical act.30-50ti, thermic effects of food 10ti& adaptive thermogenesis .- Energy requirements differ: personal, age, gender, weight, height. -intensity & duration of physical act. - >difference. -all vitamins destroyed=heat rdiac failure, muscular weakness, mory, confusion, irritability, Wholegrain,fortified or enriched grain products, moderate amounts in all foods, yeast spreads (vegemite), pork 3 Keep eating 4 Satiation: End meal m 4 Postingestive influences (after food enters the digestive tract) · Food in stomach triggers stretch receptors B R fl · Nutrients in small intestine elicit hormones (for example, fat elicits cholecystokinin, which slows gastric emptying) B3 Niaci n 16 NEffday (men) 14 NEffday (women) Upper level of 35mgffday for adults Body obtain B3 from dietary niacin &die.trytophan (60mg of dietary trytophan=1mg niacin) Involved in metabolism of glucose,fat, alcohol NAD&NADP, phosphate form of NAD coenzyme forms B6 19-50 years: 1.3mgffday Upper level for adults: 50mgffday ttioenzyme forms involved in amino&fatty acid metabolism (converse trytophan- >niacin,serotonin, produce red blood cells) 3 Cognitive influences .
