Dietary fiber

an adequate dietary intake of essential nutrients and vitamins. Safety is a major risk when it comes to buying dietary supplements. Although dietary supplements include percent of daily value, it does not confirm accuracy. Many people are uninformed of the side effects of high doses of dietary supplements and don’t realize that they can interfere with other medications and blood tests (Silva, Ludwick, 2002). Another risk is when it comes to advertising there are no set standards. Legally…

While looking though the Men and Women Health magazines, there were two of the same ads that were both selling Vitafusion™ vitamins. The Women’s Health magazine showed an image of a woman doing yoga at an exotic setting with a blown up image of a Vitafusion™ bottle right beside her and the Men’s Health magazine showed an image of a man biking on a dangerous mountain with an image of a small Vitafusion™ bottle shown in front of him. After looking at both advertisements, it is clear that when…

The supplement that interested me the most and that I evaluated was Royal Jelly. I had no idea that there was even such a dietary supplement, let alone all of the claimed cures it was supposed to heal, such as lowering blood pressure, lowering bad cholesterol, and decreasing breast cancer risk. It has also been proven by “The Health Professional’s Guide to Popular Dietary Supplements” to improve stamina, reduce fatigue, and boost mental health as well. As mentioned by a fellow classmate, I…

treatment, according to a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial published in Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. “The aim of this was to investigate the tolerability and efficacy of BioCell Collagen (BCC), a low molecular weight dietary supplement consisting of hydrolyzed chicken sternal cartilage extract, in the treatment of OA symptoms. The treatment group, as compared to placebo, had a significant reduction of VAS (visual analogue scale for pain) on day 70 and of WOMAC…

2.1 Nanocomposite and nanofiller Composite is the combination of two or more different materials that are mixed together in order to bring out the best properties of both material. A nanocomposite is the composite which exhibit at least one dimension of the nanoparticle size material [17]. The nanoparticle size is mainly used as the disperse particle system to enhance or improve the properties of the composite material such as strength, conductivity and wear resistance. The main reason for…

Introduction: Selecting a pair of hunting boots is totally on the hunter and his needs. For serious hunters, who climb deep mountains, spend hours in the jungle and travel to colder regions in search of animals, choosing the right hunting boot is always essential. You will not only need the best quality hunting boot, but you will also need a pair of comfortable and lightweight boots too. Unlike any other shoe or boot you choose for yourself, these boots should be wisely selected. If you have…

A ray of light travels in a straight line. This is true until it passes from one medium (eg. air) into another medium (eg. glass) of a different optical density. When this happens, the ray of light changes speed causing it to bend either towards or away from the normal which is an imaginary line at 90 to the interface between two mediums. This is called refraction. How much it bends depends on the refractive indices of the two mediums which is a ratio of the speed of light in one medium…

1.1 Overview of aerospace industry Globally, 3.57 billion passengers travelled on aeroplanes during 2015 and the demand for air travel is predicted to keep rising.1 As the frequency of air travel is increasing, it places a pressure on the aerospace industry to improve material performance and the efficiency of their transportation.2 Classically aircraft were constructed from metallic materials such as aluminium and titanium. Therefore, new materials must have specific properties and…

of the operation of optical fibers. Just by altering and controlling the angle at which light is incident on the fiber, we can transmit this light signal efficiently. By this principle of Total Internal Reflection the ray of light is trapped within the denser glass of the center of the composite cylindrical glass fiber, the core as if it is guided down the core in a zigzag path of successive reflections. These light waves are guided through the core of the optical fiber just like a radio…

Implementation of optical fiber sensor in biomedical Optical fiber sensor for biomedical application Applications for biomedical sensors can be named in vivo or in vitro. In vivo alludes to application on an entire, living life form, for example, a human patient; in vitro alludes to testing outside the body, for example, research facility blood tests. From the point of view of how sensors are connected to a patient or organic framework, they can be named noninvasive, reaching (skin surface),…
