Vitamin A Vitamin A plays a critical role in assuring normal vision and immune function, as well as gene expression and growth (Lukaski, 2004). Vitamin A takes its active form as retinol, which we typically get from foods from animals, such as eggs, liver, dairy products, and fish oil (Benardot, 2006). Beta carotene has been established as a precursor for vitamin A, so consuming foods rich in this carotenoid is another way to obtain vitamin A in the diet (Benardot, 2006). This discussion…

In essence vegan diets are diets that cut out all food sourced from animals. However, the distinctive attribute of such a diet is that its practitioners also cut off everything indirectly sourced from animals as Appleby and Key (2015) explain. Thus it is understood that vegans cut out meats, poultry, and fish, but also eggs, milk, cheese and even honey. In other words, vegans stop consuming a significant part of the food pyramid, which leads to nutrient deficiency, specifically, vegans stop…

As technology in the space sciences advances, the distances humans can travel through space also increases. Long-term space missions can cause complications to astronauts’ health (see Figure 1), the severity of which are not yet well understood. This paper focuses on three main health complications experienced by crew members during long-term space travel: muscle atrophy; loss of bone mass; and immune system changes. This paper also explores current research into preventative measures and…

minerals found in the body and has a role in more than 300 biochemical reactions, ultimately playing an essential role in activating cellular enzymatic activity. Due to Mg?s significant role in glycolysis in athletes, the citric acid cycle, and creatine phosphate production, it is at the front of the conversation when prescribing dietary and supplemental recommendations for athletic populations. Due to sweating and urination, athletes may require higher dosages and initial levels of magnesium…
