Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is another vitamin that was low for my diet and I think that spinach and apples would be a great addition to my diet. Spinach is provides many of the vitamins I need but I chose it for B2 because of its high daily value. I chose apples because it is easy to incorporate into my diet. I can eat both of these foods at any time of day. For Vitamin B3 (Niacin), I chose mushrooms and broccoli to add to my diet because I can add these to most of the dinners I make. Vitamin B6 was actually my lowest percent of my RDA and the foods I chose to increase this is green beans and potatoes. Both were on the high end of the daily values for B6 and I like both of these food. I always eat green beans as a side dish with some type of protein and potatoes I can do a variety of things with so both are easily realistic to my diet.
Vitamin D was another low percent of my RDA and I chose salmon and orange juice as sources of Vitamin D to add to my diet. I’m not really into seafood but the one fish I’m willing to eat is salmon because it is the only fish I like to eat growing up. I will try to eat salmon once or twice a month for dinner. I chose orange juice because just one cup is 34 percent of your daily value of Vitamin D so I would probably have a cup in the morning with my oatmeal. Folate is my last vitamin and I chose to add lettuce and oranges to my diet. I chose both because there easy to add to my diet and I can many things with either one like make a fruit salad or
Fiberglass insulation is used in about 90% of homes in the United States and has the potential to cause multiple serious health issues. Hemp insulation can take all these concerns out of the picture with many of the ways hemp is naturally ecologically-friendly. Hemp comes from a cousin of the cannabis sativa plant which also produces marijuana. When hemp is grows it grows at a very fast rate and can be easily grown in many conditions. The plant is used to make the hemp insulation called hempcrete with other additives. The other parts of the plant can be used to make other various essential items for the human life. Although hemp is illegal in the United States it can be grown through a system of licensed growers in the United States and can also be bought from growers in Canada and Europe and shipped to the United States. Using hemp and a lime is the best alternative for an insulation because both products are readily available and easy to obtain. Hemp can be believed to be the future of insulation for many reasons.
One of the most vital nutrients for good health is vitamin B12. It comes from animal foods and is responsible for big things such as the synthesis of DNA and the sheath that protects the nerve cells. There are lots of things you could be doing to deplete the essential B12 your body needs, including eating an unhealthy diet, smoking, and drinking, but there are also things like pregnancy and growing older that can be affecting how much B12 your body is getting.
Riboflavin has a recommendation of 1.1 milligrams and my intake for this was 1.0 milligrams, which could be increased just a little to meet the standards. Some foods that contained this vitamin are: turkey lunchmeat, 1% milk, steak, cheerios, bananas, ice cream, potato chips, lettuce, broccoli, mixed vegetables, donuts, chicken breast, mashed potatoes, and strawberries. This is another type of B vitamin and as mentioned before aids in the conversion of carbohydrates into glucose, which in turn is used to produce energy.
Perspective and social location are different for every single person, even siblings do not agree on everything, and see many situations in different ways. This is because each person has a perspective partially shaped by their social location and partially shaped by how they interpret their social location. Social location can blind people about issues that are happening in their country but not in their community, it can change one’s perspective and outlook on many topics, it can play a key role in how people perceive the world and others around them, and it can also give people resources to help other. In this paper, I will demonstrate this by examining the effects that growing up in my social location had on me, and by analyzing Elisabeth T. Vasko’s book: Beyond Apathy: A Theology for Bystanders. Not all communities have the same problems or issues,
Some of these lacking percentages may be a real deficiency and will call for my need of increasing them substantially. Vitamins A (RAE); E; and D, where A and E are nine percent and then D, which is slightly higher with thirteen percent need some major work and I will have to find ways to get these values at least higher than seventy percent. I will have to begin eating more carrots, egg yolk, broccoli, cantaloupe and drinking milk while doing so, to increase my vitamin A (RAE) percentage. For my vitamin E percentage, milk and egg yolk will help but I can also increase my whole-grain foods and eat some sunflower seeds and nuts to get it up where it needs to be. For my lacking vitamin D percentage I need to seriously increase my fatty fish intake—which is not difficult, due to my love of fish. Whole egg and beef liver will also both help in getting more vitamin D in my diet.
According to my Iprofile Intake, I fell below the 100% of the RDA for vitamin A 35.3%, vitamin D 13.4% and vitamin E 10.8%. What I can do to help with my low vitamin A, is to eat more foods like sweet potatoes, carrots and spinach. As for vitamin D, I need to eat more fish, cheese, drink milk and yogart. Then to help with vitamin E, I need to eat more nuts, spinach and more fruits like mangos or kiwi.
In looking over my Food Journal Summary and my Intake Compared to DRI dealing with micronutrients; I noticed my intake of Vitamin A was 88 micrograms and my DRI was 700 micrograms. I got 49% from the grilled cheese and 1% from the banana chips. To improve my Vitamin E intake I should eat more beef and cooked vegetables such as carrots. My Vitamin D intake was below the recommended range at 0 mg; I should eat more fish such as salmon or possibly find a Vitamin D supplement. My consumption of Vitamin E or Alpha-Tocopherol was an intake of 1 mg and my DRI was 15 mg. 28%, 3%, 19%, and 15% came from the chicken tenders, banana chips, grilled cheese, and French fries. To get a
Calcium can also be supplemented with alfalfa, clover, dandelion, broccoli, and some fish, such as cod, salmon, and sardines (Dittmer and Thompson, 2011;Weichselbaum et al., 2013). Either exposure to sunlight or a supplemented vitamin D is also necessary for these metabolic processes to work successfully. Some fish are also good for supplementing vitamin D in the diet. Once calcium levels are back to homeostasis, the body will replenish the bone stores and there will be no lasting effects in an adult. Some animals are more susceptible to vitamin D and calcium deficiency, eg. growing animals, postpartum mammals, captive reptiles, pet rabbits, and
I was really surprised that there were so many nutrients that I did not meet the recommended dietary allowance. I am unclear on Vitamin B12 because it has my intake at 2.4 mcg and the RDA was 2.4 my percentage was in the red at 99%. I did not meet my Vitamin C recommendations and I was in the red at 97%, I did not meet the recommendations for Vitamin D and I was in the red at 1%. Vitamin E is another area that I was in the red at 29%, Calcium I was in the red at 65%, Copper in the red at 94%, Iron I was in the red at 35%, Magnesium in the red at 60%, Manganese I was in the red at 78%, Potassium I was in the red at 51%, Thiamin I was in the red at 50 %, and Zinc in the red at 89%.
I do A multivitamin and the elastijoint support from Labrada. I do take BCAA and glutamine From metabolic nutrition and also their creation. That’s it at the moment. Oh and Vitamin C.
Vitamin intake is a commonly overlooked necessity in basic nutritional health. What most people do not know is that certain vitamin deficiencies can cause many health risks and problems. Many people believe that are getting all the vitamins they need from their diet, however most of the time they are not. One of the most common vitamin deficiencies is the low intake of Vitamin D. There are some vitamins that are produced by the body such as vitamin K; however some of the most important vitamins are not produced by the body. Vitamin D is one of the vitamins that our body needs to function correctly that is not naturally produced by the body. Vitamin D can be consumed through
In order to get Vitamin A in your diet you must first consume beta-carotene found in orange fruits and veggies. Beta-carotene is broken down and processed by our body and turned into vitamin A which is essential for the eye to properly function and to discourage night blindness. Both A and C vitamins help to reduce the chance of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Carrot juice is an awesome way to ingest both Vitamins A and C.
After looking at my analysis I was surprised because there I was lacking a lot of vitamins and minerals. Without minerals, our bodies wouldn’t be able to function which is why I was worried when I saw my reports. I was lacking vitamins such as Vitamin A where my intake was 392.53 mcg when it’s supposed to be at a high 700.00 mcg. I also barely had one of the most important vitamins in my body, Vitamin D. Being one of the most important vitamins to our body a Vitamin D deficiency is not healthy for the body in any way possible. Restraining from Vitamin D can cause problems such as fatigue, hair loss, depression, anxiety, bone weakness, and being prone to more diseases because your body isn’t fighting off the illnesses brought in from the outside. Aside from lacking vitamins, I’m also lacking a good number of minerals. The recommended amount of Calcium is about 1,000mgs, but my intake fell under 454mgs. Calcium is one of the most important minerals for the human body for the bones to grow stronger to prevent diseases such as osteoporosis, which is commonly found in women after the age of 50. Osteoporosis is a common disease where the bones become weak from loss of tissues around the bone structure. Not only is osteoporosis caused by lacking Calcium, but is also caused by Vitamin D deficiency, which are two things that my body lacks. If I don’t increase my vitamin/mineral intake it could be a huge determent to my
I would be careless if I did not address my poor undergraduate GPA (2.9 on a 4.0 scale) but I firmly believe that my undergraduate grades are not a reflection of my current potential. I was the first in my family to attend to a University and unaware of the importance of a GPA. While attending college and working a full time job I was compromised with so many responsibilities that academically my grades were affected by my lack of experience in balancing things out. As of now, I am certain of my solid work performance and the success I have in my career are perfect indicators of my abilities that demonstrate my potential success in the MD in educational leadership program. I have been teaching for almost three years and have obtained positive
There are currently no special dietary recommendations for SCD patients, even with data suggesting that the life of the disease is to increase the food requirement, much like in pregnancy or growth. (Hibbert, Gee, & Hyacinth, 2010) SCD patients should have a diet that is high in calories and that is full of nutrients. They must also have adequate fluid consumption to decrease the risk of dehydration. Dehydration can bring on a sickle cell crisis (pain episode). Vitamin and mineral supplementation may also benefit a SCD patient. Blood levels of several vitamins and minerals including: vitamin A and carotenoids, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc are often low in these patients.
