High protein diet

Grains were first introduced to the human diet about 10,000 years ago in Mesopotamia. In the second century AD, Aretaeus of Cappadocia described “koiliakos” a disease of the abdomen caused by nutrition. It wasn’t until 1888 in London that S.J. Gee fully described what we know as celiac disease today. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder marked by inflammation of the small intestine that affects genetically predisposed individuals across the world. The genetic predisposition occurs on HLA…

three branched- chained amino acids (BCCA): leucine, isoleucine and valine. These amino acids are used to build proteins and when they are not being used they can be broken down and recycled in the cell. The complex that breaks these amino acids down is called BCKD (branched-chain alpa-ketoacid dehydrogenase) and is made up of six proteins. When a person has a mutation in one of the six proteins that creates the complex, the complex does not fold properly and does not work as it is supposed to.…

Protein is one of the most misunderstood nutrients on the planet. While we all know it’s essential for building muscle, skin, organs and hormones, many people are confused about how much protein they should be eating. Most people eat more protein in a day than their bodies actually need, as much as three to five times what is recommended. Individuals over the age of 18 only require that 10% to 30% of their daily calories come from protein. Excess dietary protein can pose serious health risks…

Elizabeth Barron Winters July 9th, 2017 Case study 1 Atkins or Fadkins Part 1: Macronutrients and energy Question 1: Proteins: do most of the work in the cells, required for structure, function, and regulation of the bodys tissues and organs. They also transport nutrients and are catalyst. Examples of proteins are nuts, meats, and beans. Carbohydrates: source of energy for the body, simple and complex carbs. Examples are fruits, pasta, sugar, and, grain. Fats: store energy, aid in…

Treatment requires a strict diet plan and individuals are encouraged to avoid foods high in protein or that contain PHE. Meat, fish, poultry eggs, cheese, milk, dried beans, and peas are among the foods that are discouraged from consumption. (The National PKU Alliance, 2014) Babies and toddlers diagnosed with Phenylketonuria…

and all of your cells. It is a steroid which is made mostly in the liver. The body internally makes approximately 85% of the body's total cholesterol while only 15% comes from diet.(Saladin 66) However, what is interesting to note is while some dietary" food products are advertised as "cholesterol free" they may be high in saturated fats".(Saladin 66). This will cause the body to be stimulated to internally produce more cholesterol. Cholesterol is needed by the body in many ways. It is…

Protein give 4 calories per gram. The body can utilize protein calories with 3 way; accumulate protein in fat stores, consume it as an energy or utilize it to fulfill functions essential to life. Calories from protein will be used as an source of energy when the body is missing fat or carbohydrate calories for fuel. When the body get sufficient quantities of proteins, fats, and carbs, protein will accomplish its specific functions. These proteins functions include replacing of old cells,…

Discussion The glycemic index of the dosa prepared from foxtail millet was low. This is due to the high levels of soluble dietary fiber in the millet. The total dietary fiber was reported to be27.02%, soluble dietary fiber 11.56% and the insoluble dietary fiber 15.44%11. It has been reported that the high viscosity of the soluble fiber delays digestion and absorption18. The glucose levels can be maintained to near normal with the help of dietary modification. It can be inferred from the above…

they were very accepting. I’ve also learned to become more accepting of not hitting my macros every once and while. You can’t be perfect all the time, and one day off won’t ruin all the hard work you put in. Now that my friends know more about my diet they’ll come to me if they have questions or want tips. I realize now how silly it was to avoid hanging out with my friends because I was scared about not eating properly or having them make fun of me. Now, it’s easier to handle my social wellbeing…

Enzymes are catalysts to help facilitate chemical reactions (RSC 2004). They do not cause the reaction to occur, but they speed up the rate of reaction (RSC 2004). Each enzyme is a specific protein, meaning they work for the purpose of a particular reaction or substance (EUFIC 2016). This can help explain why they are essential in the role of digestion. The particular enzyme that we looked at in this experiment was salivary amylase. Salivary amylase is an enzyme that helps with the breakdown of…
