Essays on Grains

A diet high in fiber is associated with a lower level of estrogen in the bloodstream (Gaskins et al., 2009). Estrogen will break down into estradiol in the body, and a high-fiber diet will reduce the levels of serum estrone and estradiol in the blood (“Nutrition and Breast Cancer,” 2015). An increase of estrogen that is eliminated from the body in the stool is also related to a diet high in fiber (“Nutrition and Breast Cancer,” 2015; Gaskins et al., 2009). Fiber is known to bind to bile acids, toxic compounds, and carcinogens. The whole grains that are high ...

Introduction Wheat (Triticum sp.), an extensively adapted crop, is one of the primitive and primary staple food crops in the world. Wheat is cultivated from temperate; dry to irrigated or rain-fed areas, to warm, humid or cold conditions. Such a high adaptability is attributed to its intricate genome (Acevedo et al., 2002). Wheat cultivation covers more land area compared to other commercial crops and endures to be an essential food grain for humans (Curtis, 2002). Estimations reveal that by 2050, the population of the world will reach 9.1 billion (34 percent greater than today); correspondingly, the food requirement and ...

Question 1

Angiosperms can be dioecious or monoecious and they go through sexual production (Raghavan, 1999). Angiosperm flowers are considered to be hermaphroditic or androgynous because the same flower contains both female and male gametophytes. However, angiosperm flowers with only female gametophytes are incomplete and considered to be either a carpellate flower containing only female parts or a staminate flower containing only male structures. The male reproductive structure of the angiosperms is known as andoecium. The anthers that are found in the stamens of the angiosperms contain pollen sacks, which have the microsporocytes. The cells go through a process known as ...

Turning Around Obesity Epidemic

The number of people who are overweight is outnumbering those with healthy weight in most of the societies. The rate of growth of obese people is increasing at alarming proportions in many countries. The problem is seen in not only adults, but also in children. The healthy weight for a person is estimated by a parameter called Body Mass Index (BMI). It is the ratio of a person’s weight in kilograms and the square of his/her height in meters. The BMI not exceeding twenty five is considered as healthy. If the BMI is above twenty five, the person ...

Obesity is becoming a national epidemic. Over one-third of American adults, and seventeen percent of adolescents and children are currently classified as obese (Ogden et al., 2014). Studies have shown that being overweight leads to an increased rate of mortality from all causes (McTigue et al., 2006). To help combat this epidemic, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) released a pamphlet that can be used as a guide to make healthy eating choices and what an average meal should look like throughout the day (United States Department of Agriculture, 2015). The USDA has also released a website to ...

BT an 8 year old boy was presented for check-up after developing nasal congestion, sneezing and coughing. According to her mother, the boy has been developing these symptoms regularly after play or when the house is being dusted. A differential diagnosis pointed to a huge possibility of allergic rhinitis or common cold. Nonetheless, based on subjective assessment and physical examination, common cold was ruled out since the patient was afebrile, hence ruling out the possibility of an infection. As such, the primary diagnosis for this patient was allergic rhinitis and according to Greiner et al. (2012), allergic rhinitis or ...

As athletes, physicians, sports professionals, and the general public continue to search for the most effective diet for nutrition and physical development, high protein diets have emerged as a viable alternative for many people. However, there are disagreements about how to define a “high protein diet” (Tipton).

Reflection

Many would not assume that beef consumption and the preservation of our planet are correlated. However, as nature is a closed cycle, everything is connected. In the past, many thousands years ago, meat was hardly available and people ate it, but not as much as today. Today, people eat meat more than they need and in order to satisfy the demand, farmers produce more and more beef. Even at this rate, there is not enough water and grains for farmers and people and due to that nature suffer. In the future, if we do not reduce beef production, we ...

Several thousand years ago, the early modern humans were nomadic foragers, and they forage in groups. However, a major transition occurred around 10,000 BC changing the human behavior, a changeover from the control of the natural environment over humans, to humans in control over the natural environment. Before the start of the agricultural era, the early humans were hunter-gatherers, which means that they depended on wild resources for their nutritional requirements. This style of living led the early humans to have a largely nomadic lifestyle, with the abundance of food source dictated by the natural environment, specifically the ...
