  3. Journal Why do people have different tastes? (In other words, why do some people like some foods that other people hate? Don’t tell me taste buds!)

  4. Why do we eat? One important reason you eat is to take in calories. Food also provides nutrients. Nutrients have many important roles: -Giving you energy. -Building new tissues and repairing cells. -Helping your body’s processes and systems run smoothly. Good nutrition is one of the main factors in building and maintaining good health. Pg. 88

  5. Getting the Nutrients You Need Everyone needs the same nutrients to maintain good health, but the amount of nutrients needed depends on a person’s age, gender, state of health, and level of activity. As a teen, you need more calcium for building strong bones. You also need more iron because your body makes more red blood cells as you grow. When you do not get enough of a particular nutrient, you could have a nutrient deficiency. Pg. 88

  6. What Influences your Food Choices? Food choices are influenced by many different factors. Appetite and Hunger- Appetite is the psychological desire for food; hunger is the physical need for food. Pg. 88

  7. Emotions- Using food as a way of dealing with negative emotions is not healthy. People who eat to relieve stress or boredom need to develop more appropriate coping skills. Pg. 88
