While a genetic link to osteoporosis has been discovered, the gene itself has not yet been isolated. Despite this genetic link, scientists have discovered that osteoporosis has a nutritional component. Calcium deficiencies and hormonal deficiencies have also been linked to osteoporosis. Some people who have no genetic link to osteoporosis find themselves dealing with this condition due to other factors. For example, osteoporosis can be caused by extended treatment with steroids, kidney…

What is gluten exactly? Gluten is a protein that is found in many grains such as wheat, rye, durum, spelt, semolina and barley. Gluten can also be present in products such as vitamins, medicines, and even lip balms. When your body struggles to digest these proteins, you can experience extreme allergic reactions such as gluten sensitivity and gluten intolerance or Celiac disease. What is Celiac disease? Celiac disease is a disorder of the digestive tract which damages the small intestine and…

South Wales, Ministry of Health, 2014). According to New South Wales, Ministry of Health, 2014, there is a very specific serving size, serves per day as well as the serves that need to be provided to toddlers while there in care.

This can be seen by looking at for example week one day two lunch that is chicken and vegetable risotto. For the fruit section, children are required while in care,…

and bodies of water. Although the element is abundant it must be converted into a different form prior to entering the biosphere. To be cycled in the biosphere, nitrogen (N2) is converted into a usable form by nitrogen fixing bacteria found in legumes. When nitrogen moves from the atmosphere into the lithosphere Rhizobium bacteria living in symbiosis with these plants begin the process of nitrogen conversion to ammonia (NH3), or cyanobacteria in water systems convert (N2). Through the…

On day 1, I consumed total of 1935 kcal, which was ~100 kcal above the calories calculated from the EER and TEE. Although my carbohydrate and fat contents were within the AMDR range, my protein consumption was 0.3% lower than the suggested range.

1. Flavin monooxygenase (FMO) and cytochrome P450 (CYP450) are both enzymes that are involved in phase I metabolism. They are classified as microsomal enzymes that require oxygen and NADPH. These enzymes are involved in the conversion of lipophilic compounds to more hydrophilic metabolites by adding molecular oxygen, which ensures rapid excretion. There are genetic variants with both classes of enzymes, which may contribute to interindividual variability in drug response. Some of the…
