- egg yolk
- legumes
- prunes
- raisins
- appricots
Potassium (K)
- Maintains fluid and acid-based balance
- Regulates muscle activity
- Aids in protein syntheses
- Aids in CHO (carbohydrate) metabolism

NEEDS VITAMIN D FOR ABSORBTION!

Advantages of enteral feedings:
Amount of nutrition can be precisely measured and recorded.
Fat soluable Vitamins:
A, D, E, K
Fat soluable Vitamins require:
the presence of fats for their absorbtion from the GI track into the lymphatic system and cellular metabolism
Fat soluable Vitamins also require:
- daily intake not neccessary

- body stores reserves

- needs proteins to be transported through the blood
Water soluable vitamins:
Vitamin C and B complex vitamins
Water soluable vitamins require:
- daily ingestion in normal quantities (not stored in the body)
- absorbed by capillaries in intestinal villi directly into the circulatory system.
fats
- most concentrated source of energy in the diet
- major component of cell membranes/mylin sheaths (phospholipids)
proteins
builds and repairs body tissue.
perspiration
- varies with temperature
- insensible water loss
Carbohydrates (CHO)
- primary source of energy for the body
- CNS relies solely on it
- Electrolytes rely soley on CHO for energy
- needed to oxidize fat completly
- synthesis of fatty acids and amino acids
- the body stores approximately 1/2 days dupply of carbs in lifer/muscles for use
Digestion
begins in the mouth and ends in the small intestine
phospholipids
composed of:
glycerol
fatty acids
phosphorous
Phospholipids are the:
structural components of cells
Mylin sheaths ( insulation covering many nerves)
Lecithin ( a part of the cell membrane)
monounsaturated fatty acids
Those that form glycerol esters with 1 double or tripple bond

Examples: nuts, fowl and olive oil
