As described in “The Tall and the Short of It,” small women have small babies because they have nutrients limitations, poor health, and limited resources. For example, if a small woman gives birth to a small child this means that the mother supplied limited nutrients to her fetus. As a result, these children are small in stature due to the lack of nutrients during their development. Therefore, it is predicted that these underweight children will be short in stature when they reach their teenage years because of their lack of resources during their developmental years. Another example, stated is that poor Americans are shorter than rich Americans by one inch. Therefore, we can see that besides nutrient limitations we see that wealth

For example, Eskimos’ diet consists of no plants, dairy, nor agriculture products. According to researchers, exploitation of resources is done when they are limitations in food supply. For example, coastal villages eat seafood and inland dwellers feed on mosses, lichens, and some plants. According to “The Inuit Paradox,” the benefits of having omega-3 fatty acids in one’s diet helps prevent cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases. This is because omega-3 fatty acid is known to be a beneficial to the heart, helps decrease the risk of inflammatory diseases, diabetes, arthritis, atherosclerosis, and more …show more content…
The physiology of a hemochromatosis person always thinks that their body contains low amounts of iron, therefore, continue to absorb iron from the body. Excessive amount of iron is bad because it can damage joints and other physiological functions. Drastic conditions that hemochromatosis causes are liver failure, heart failure, arthritis, cancer, and even death. As suggested in “Ironing it Out,” the Black Plague contributed to the development of hemochromatosis because with increase amount of iron causes an individual to be prone to infections. Even though, hemochromatosis patient have a lot of iron in their body they have a limited amount of iron in their white blood cells which help defect invasive cells that cause diseases. Iron is required in the body because it carries oxygen molecules to the lungs and through the bloodstream. According to “Ironing It Out,” the body’s iron-defense system works by using chelators which are proteins that block iron molecules from being
