DO YOU KNOW YOU CAN EAT RICH WITHOUT BEING RICH? SEE HOW

I have heard many middle class and lower class people in my community criticizing the rich of being healthy because of what they put into their stomach, yes it could be because of that, and some insisted they could not feed but anyone could healthy without being rich, that is when the matter of quality comes over quantity. Eating ‘stomach-full’ doesn’t mean eating balance diet, at this point we need to shed more light on the matter of food quantity and quality  .
The word quantity in nutrition sense mean how much of a particular food is available or how much you eat. When looking at quantity, we don’t care of what kind of food, the source, content or the benefit it provides, answer given to the particular aspect of nutrition is ‘…yes, I am stomach full’. However, malnutrition may set in for this particular individual; malnutrition remains one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality among children throughout the world, it simply means a lack of adequate nourishment which could be as a result of poverty or food insecurity. Coming back to our discussion, we could deduce from the knowledge of malnutrition that not eating the balance diet can result into several diseases like bowel disease, chronic kidney failure and some others especially in children.
On the other hand, food quality is knowing how beneficial is what you are eating to your body, in terms of nutritional gains. Example of quality is eating any food that consist of all the six classes of food e.g, carbohydrate, protein, fat and oil, vitamin and mineral. A good description of this is to cook rice which is a source of carbohydrate. In a different dish, you have your vegetable soup consisting of green leaves with fish, to be cooked with a little amount of palm oil or any of cooking oil in order to have source of vitamin and fat, adding table salt will make your meal balanced because it is a source of mineral. To aid the digestion of your balanced diet, you need water.
         With the little in your wallet, you can actually get great benefits from eating a balanced diet that will make you healthy, what you need to just do is budget the proportion of each class of food with the amount you want to spend in total because science made it clear that some of these nutrients are required by our body in a very small amount.

Know when your food is no longer useful for your body (food spoilage

Image
Spoilage  is the process in which  food  deteriorates to the point in which it is not edible to humans or its quality of edibility becomes reduced. Various external forces are responsible for the spoilage of food. Food that is capable of spoiling is referred to as  perishable food . Food spoilage  results when microbiological, chemical, or physical changes occur, rendering the food product unacceptable to the consumer. Microbiological  food spoilage  is caused by the growth of microorganisms which produce enzymes that lead to objectionable by-products in the food. Chemical  food spoilage occurs when different components in the food react with each other or with some added component which alter the food’s sensory characteristics. Examples of this include: oxidation; enzymatic browning; and nonenzymatic browning. Physical  food spoilage  results when moist foods are excessively dehydrated or dried foods absorb excessive moi...

THE DEADLY BUT UNOTICED DISEASE

Cardiac arrest  is a sudden loss of blood flow resulting from the failure of the heart to effectively pump. Symptoms include loss of consciousness and abnormal or absent breathing. Some individuals may experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or nausea before cardiac arrest. If not treated within minutes, it usually leads to death. The most common cause of cardiac arrest is coronary artery disease. Less common causes include major blood loss, lack of oxygen, very low potassium, heart failure, and intense physical exercise. A number of inherited disorders may also increase the risk including long QT syndrome. The initial heart rhythm is most often ventricular fibrillation. The diagnosis is confirmed by finding no pulse. While a cardiac arrest may be caused by heart attack or heart failure, these are not the same Sudden cardiac arrest is a m...

THE DISTRUCTIVE DISCOVERY

Image
Science has been playing a great role to make our living more easy and more productive and it will continue to do so. A great feature of science is dynamism and science never relent on holding onto that because they believe the only way to develop is through change, change in our housing system, our modes of transportation, communication, health care delivery system, agriculture and food production. I have read a lot of articles and posts where positive reviews and appraisals are been given to scientific and technological inventions, yes, a rosy picture of science and technology but this is not true. People forget to think of is the catastrophic side of these inventions, talking of the deployment of weapons and other instruments of men destruction, atmospheric pollution due to factory and car emission, loss of job due to industrial revolution, man’s dependence on drugs. Narrowly, medicine as a great discovery by science is our case study because at this very age none of us co...
