Vitamins
Unlike carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, vitamins do
not provide energy to the body. They function primarily
as metabolic catalysts that release energy from food
consumed and help maintain homeostasis within the
body. There are currently thirteen different vitamins
classified as either water-soluble or fat-soluble. Water-
soluble vitamins regulate metabolic reactions, control A well-balanced diet will usually meet most

Iron
Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient
deficiency in the world (52). Iron serves as
the key mineral in the formation of oxygen
carrying materials, including hemoglobin and
myoglobin. In these molecules, iron is
responsible for the binding of oxygen. It is
also an important component of many enzyme
systems and physiological processes. The
intestinal absorption of iron is consistent with
the type of iron source consumed.

~Quick Insight~
To be well hydrated, the average sedentary adult male should consume at least 2.5-3.0 liters of fluid per day, while the
average sedentary adult female should consume at least 2.2-2.6 liters of fluid per day (45). The fluid should be in the
form of non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic beverages, soups, and foods. Water in its pure form is the most readily used
by the body. Drinking tea, coffee, and other soft drinks can over-stimulate the central nervous system, and at the
same time, increase risk of dehydration due to the strong diuretic action of caffeine on the kidneys, which causes
increased urine production. Persons who regularly drink coffee or sodas without additional adequate water intake can
in fact cause mild dehydration without participating in any physical activity whatsoever.
Chronic dehydration has been linked to the development of numerous major health problems. It is generally
thought that the prevalence of kidney stones increases in populations with low urinary volume. Decreased fluid
intake leads to low urine volume and increased concentrations of all stone-forming salts. Recommendations for
individuals at risk for urinary stone formation, as well as patients with stones, include the consumption of at least 250
ml of fluid with each meal, between meals, before bedtime, and when they wake up in the morning (44). This pattern
ensures that fluid intake is spread throughout the day and that the urine doesn’t become concentrated. These measures
decrease the chance for kidney stone development.
Low fluid consumption may increase the incidence of certain cancers. There seems to be a link between patients with
urinary tract cancer (bladder, kidney, prostate, and testicle) and low fluid consumption (2; 5). No association with
specific fluid volumes has been found, but one study found women who drank more than five glasses of water per day
had a 45% decreased risk of colon cancer compared with those who drank two or fewer glasses. Among the men,
there was a 32% decrease in risk with increased water consumption (1; 4). This finding is probably due to the fact that
fecal mobility is increased with proper fluid intake. It is thought that higher fecal mobility reduces the duration of
time carcinogenic toxins sit in the large intestine.
Water also plays a primary role in fat metabolism. One of the many functions of the liver is to mobilize stored fat for
energy utilization. Water is a key ingredient in this metabolic process. In times of water shortage, the kidneys cannot
perform to the levels required for waste removal. This results in the liver being called upon to aid the kidneys in their
efforts, resulting in less efficient metabolism. Additionally, water serves to further aid in reducing dietary caloric
content. As opposed to juices and sodas, water is calorie-free. People who consume regular amounts of water
experience feelings of satiety (fullness) by maintaining a higher gastric volume. With more contents in the stomach,
there is a tendency to eat less. Adequate water intake can take the edge off hunger, reducing the caloric peaks and
valleys that many people experience when eating large meals.
