“Fibers that cannot be digested by bacteria in the large intestines are called insoluble fibers because they do not dissolve in water.” (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006) High fiber diets can produce many benefits, including higher nutrient absorption levels, and better waste output. Diets that tend to lack in fiber or are high in insoluble fiber tend to cause gastrointestinal irritation and constipation. People that experience these symptoms should consider reviewing their fiber sources, and water consumption
Unit 21 Nutrition for Health & Social Care Task 3 P3 This is a report on the wide range of possible influences on dietary intake and nutritional health ranging from health conditions which dictate what a person can and can’t eat to lifestyle. Medical Disorders There are lots of medical disorders that dictate what we eat, such as : • Non-insulin Dependent Diabetes (Type 2 Diabetes) is not as severe as Insulin Dependent Diabetes (Type 1 Diabetes) as it can be controlled by diet alone. It’s very important that they follow a strict healthy diet to avoid the condition worsening which can lead to all sorts of problems such as blindness, kidney failure, gangrene and even amputation of limbs. • Coeliac Disease is a condition when someone is intolerant to the protein gluten so they must avoid all foods containing wheat, rye and barley. Failure to do so results in their immune system producing antibodies which attacks the lining of their bowel causing them to have abdominal pains, constipation/diarrhoea, bloating, difficulty in gaining weight in childhood or maintaining weight in adulthood and anaemia.
Vitamins and minerals which can be supplied by variety of organic foods, water and sunlight are absolutely necessary for body. They are also called micronutrients which are needed in very small quantity and each of them affects one or more body functions. Vitamins: Body needs a few milligrams of vitamins daily to be healthy. Vitamins help absorption of other substances and lack of even one of them leads to a chain reaction to other micronutrients deficiencies. There are 13 types of vitamins which are categorized in two different groups: water soluble (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12), and fat-soluble (A, D, E and K).
All the additives in our foods have been extensively tested before being added to our food, but it still makes sense to limit the amount of artificial chemicals we ingest. Some additives are perfectly natural for example ascorbic acid which is just vitamin C. Fast food creates many diseases for example obesity. Something obesity is a national correct. Obesity also prevents kids from doing physical activity better. Obesity costs the United States
Melissa Quibin | Zaira Ruiz | Ciarra Valencia | Lea Valencia FST 101 | ST-2L | Group 4 EXERCISE NO. 9 VITAMINS Introduction Vitamins are minor but essential organic substances in human nutrition. Though they provide no amount of energy, they are required for the normal growth, maintenance and functioning of the human body. They are important constituents in considering quality aspects of food quality. Vitamin losses can occur through chemical reactions which lead to inactive products.
At first glance, the diet seems fairly easy and harmless, but it has some negative aspects. First, most baby food is meant for infants from six months to one year of age. Thus, it lacks proper amounts of protein and other essential nutrients necessary for older ages. Most baby foods lack fiber, calcium, and vitamin D in quantities needed by adults. Fiber is important for reducing the risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, as well as lowering the risk of several forms of cancer.
They tend to be high in total fat, especially saturated animal fat, which has been linked to heart disease, cancer, and perhaps even MS. The low-carb craze also restricts fruits, vegetables and whole grains. This can result in deficiencies of valuable vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants and fiber. All of these are important to long-term good
Unlike medications, supplement Dietary Supplements 3 makers do not have to prove their products are safe or effective. The FDA, however, can force a supplement from the market if it proves it is unsafe (nutrition.about.com, n.d.). Dietary supplements can be good for the body if there are substances lacking in the body. If a person has diseases, supplements can help control them. It is best to consult a doctor before taking supplements because they can interact with medications, causing bad reactions.
Without the amylase required to digest the starch, they simply can’t be broken down. Typically, when amylase is added to a solution of starch, the concentration of starch should continually go down because the amylase is in effect. However, when Weaver added the Carb cutter solution to the starch and amylase, the carb concentration stayed relatively constant. In all of the Carb Cutter testing the carbohydrate concentration stayed relatively constant, meaning the formula works for prohibiting the digestion of starch via amylase. There are a couple downfalls to the pill’s effectiveness, however.
Minerals come from soil and cannot be made by our bodies. Minerals work in balance with metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and fats. If there is a mineral that is of abundance it takes from others and it can cause deficiencies. Food sources with minerals are almonds, beans, figs, carrots, raisins, pecans, brown rice, apricots, dates, garlic, spinach, brazil nuts, cashews, papayas, avocados, celery, clams, cheese, corn oil, brewer’s yeast, whole grains, soy beans, bone meal, legumes, seafood’s, raisins, black strap molasses,
