High protein diet

Gluten: Gluten is a type of protein that is found in wheat, barley, rye, spelt, oat and triticale (a cross between wheat and rye). It is present in many kinds of foods. It acts as a glue in foods in which it is present and hold food particles together. Gluten gives the elastic nature of dough in food and have the ability to rise bread. It gives chewy and fluffy texture like in bread. Gluten Consumption: Gluten is just fine for most of the people as they consume it regularly like in wheat or in…

fast foods and baked goods. The word “saturated” refers to the number of hydrogen atoms that surround each carbon atom. When the carbon atom chain holds as many hydrogen atoms as possible, we say it as saturated with hydrogen. A saturated fats rich diet drives up total cholesterol, tipping the balance toward more harmful LDL cholesterol, prompting blockages in artery and in other parts of the body. Almost all nutrition experts advise to limit daily consumption of saturated fat to below 10% of…

on this protein but once scientist began to research alpha-synuclein then there will be better understanding of how Gaucher’s works. According to the National Gaucher’s Foundation “the balance of glucocerebroside enzyme and alpha-synuclein may play a critical role in helping the body’s proteins work correctly”(GaucherDisease). This means that having too much of the alpha-synuclein might keep the glucocerebroside enzyme from breaking down glucocerebroside. This could lead to improper protein…

nutrition to young via a lactation system instead of egg-yolk that is observed in other lineages. Lactation evolved during the Triassic period—specifically the Cynodant lineage—along with other Mammalian characteristics such as fur. Certain milk proteins, and quite many other parts of the lactation system, have been conserved through evolution and time. It is hypothesized that lactation arose amongst mammals that showed maternal care. Many of the mammalian species on Earth have different…

Fats or triglycerides are very important macro nutrients found in food, they give important energy for the body to work properly. Part of a good diet is consuming these two essential fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3 fatty acid) and linolenic acid (omega-6 fatty acid). They are indispensable for brain development, control of inflammation and blood clotting. When fats or other lipids are consumed they go undigested until they reach the small intestine. Bile is an emulsifier that breaks…

of the diet. This is important since glucose is the body’s main source of energy for healing and for cell repair and for proper brain function. Some fat is also essential in every diet. Typically, the recommend amount of total fat is 30%. Unsaturated fat such as omega -3 fatty or omega – 6 fatty acids is encouraged instead of saturated fat. We do, however, need to monitor blood glucose levels since elevated blood glucose make wound healing more difficult. When glucose levels remain high over…

Collagen Collagen functions as a structural component. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and is the substance that holds the whole body together. It is found in the bones, muscles, skin and tendons, where it forms a scaffold to provide strength and structure. Lupus is a collagen vascular disease that causes unique symptoms in each patient. Additional symptoms can include shortness of breath, chest pain, headaches, and dry eyes. People with lupus may have long periods of…

 COMPOSITION OF MILK Milk is nearly complete natural food on the earth. It contains water, fat, protein, lactose and minerals as major constituents. The proportions of these constituents vary with species of the animal. For example, Mare’s milk contains only about 1.6% fat, while Reindeer’s milk contain 22.5% fat. Apart from this, the composition also varies with several other factors, viz., the breed of animal, the feeding pattern, season, lactation period, age of animal, environment, etc..…

“bowed legs” or curvature of the spine. There is also a high chance of bone fracturing. Vitamin D is the most common cause and is essential for the absorption of calcium in the gut. The main source of Vitamin D comes from natural sunlight where the sun’s ultraviolet light allows the body’s skin cells convert vitamin D into its active form (Committee, Greer, & Gartner, 2003). It can also be consumed by various foods such as eggs and oily fish. Proteins are required for structural…

The potential risks and effects of a gluten-free diet Almost everybody is searching for a way to lose weight fast and millions of people have sought to do that through fad diets. The majority of these diets hold an elevated risk for harming an individual or their body. Lord Byron popularized one of the first known fad diets in the 1820s and it consisted of drinking apple cider vinegar with water. In the 1930’s the grapefruit diet was created which consisted of eating a grapefruit with every meal…
