TEXT A. WHY DO WE EAT?

No records exist who first began to think about why we eat or about various effects of foods, but ancient Greek philosophers and doctors commented these lines. Socrates said the purpose of food is to replace the water lost through the skin and the loss of heat from the body. Lavoisier thought that the combustion that produces body heat should occur in the lungs.

Understanding of what happens to food from the time it is eaten until it is oxidized to produce heat and mechanical energy, could not be learned until the chemical nature of foods was discovered. They knew that all animals inhale oxygen, combine it with the food to produce carbon dioxide, heat, and the energy with which they could move. The chemistry of that time could not tell more.

Foods are composed of organic substances too complex to be understood from the state of chemistry as it was in the first half of the nineteenth century. Modern work on digestion and nutrition began about a century ago.

Now we know that we should eat to have energy. When a nutritionist uses the word energy he means the capacity to do work. To him work is movement; the more a person moves, the more energy he requires. Even when a man is asleep he is still partly in motion because his heart, lungs and most of the other organs are working.

TEXT B. DIGESTION

Very little natural food can serve as nourishment just as it is; glucose is nearly the only natural substance that can. While chemists were trying to find what foods are made of, physiologists were trying to learn what food is nourishment.

It soon became evident to the physiologists that foodstuffs must undergo enormous changes in the human body, because the body tissues are very different from the foodstuffs that nourish them. Hair, skin, muscles and bones bear little resemblance to the proteins, fats, carbohydrates and minerals which foodstuffs consist of.

The word food is used loosely to mark anything edible whether it is a natural product such as wheat, fish, or potatoes; a partly processed product such as flour; or cooked foods such as an apple-pie. If it is edible it is food, regardless of what must be done to it before it is eaten. Because of this uncertainty of meaning, the nutritionists use the word foodstuffs for those portions of the foods the body can use, mainly the carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

All digestion is a reaction of the foodstuffs with water or what chemists call a hydrolysis. As the digested food passes along the intestines, it consists of 3 sugars (mostly glucose), about 20 amino acids and several fatty acids. There are also salts and some other substances that are in food, such as acids, chlorophyll, cholesterol and vitamins. Such is the food as it passes through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream to be distributed to the various tissues for growth, repair, or the production of energy.

TEXT C. WHAT IS FOOD?

Food is essential to the nutrition of any human being or any form of life. If there is no food there is no life; if the amount or kind of food is inadequate, growth is stopped and the capacity to work is lost.

The term food is commonly referred to those substances that we eat. Milk, eggs, tomatoes, and flour are accepted as foods. Scientifically speaking foods are not so much substances that we eat, as substances that supply us with certain nutrients when they are eaten. Foods supply us with energy, build and repair tissues, and regulate body processes. Foods which we eat are often complex substances, which meet more than one of these body needs. One food may supply with both energy and building material, another may regulate body processes and give energy. The contribution that a food makes to the body depends on its constituents and the ability of the body to utilize them. The chief constituents of foods are classified into six groups: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, and water.

The body's need for energy is met through carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Its need for building and repairing tissues is mainly met by proteins and minerals. The regulation of body processes is commonly regarded as particular function of water, proteins, vitamins, minerals, organic acids and cellulose. Though water, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats make up the largest quantity of the food constituents, the others constituents are also important.
