The foods we eat all contain calories needed to sustain my everyday energy levels. As a moderately active student, my recommended average intake of calories is 2400 per day, whereas during the project my average daily intake was 1280 calories per day leaving me at a deficit of 1120 calories. …show more content…
Several other functions that it plays in the body include: balancing the electrolytes in our system, maintaining the acid-base balance and is significantly essential to muscle contraction and nerve transmissions throughout our body. A deficiency in sodium can put individuals at risk for contracting hyponatremia which is a dangerous condition in which an individual has too little sodium in their blood. The connection between sodium and water is directly correlated in keeping an equal ration of sodium and water in the body. For example, when the body contains too much salt, the body responds in keeping homeostasis by telling the individual to drink excessive water – polydipsia- until there is an equal balanced ratio of sodium to water. In addition, individuals who consume more than the recommended intake of salt tend to show signs of excessive weight gain, but in reality is just a side effect water weight in the body for this its way of maintaining a balance ratio until the salts are expelled from the body. The DRI recommendation for sodium is 1,500 mg whereas the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) is < 2300 mg. When comparing these recommended sodium intake to the average amount of sodium intake I had during the diet project part one, I was shocked to see that I ate an excess of 133 mg more than the set UL. During the project the foods that contributed to my …show more content…
All of our cells, organs and tissues depend on water to help regulate homeostasis. Homeostasis is when our cells seek and maintain a condition of equilibrium or stability internally as it deals with environmental external changes. Because water plays many important roles in the overall maintenance of the body, some of the functions of it include: regulates body temperature, carries nutrients and oxygen to cells, lubricates joints, helps dissolve minerals and other nutrients , and most importantly it also moistens tissues like the mouth, eyes and nose. Dehydration is when the body is deficient in water. Because the water in our bloodstream plays an important role in equally transporting cells and minerals throughout the body, when an individual is not getting enough water the cells in the body will begin to shrivel up and malfunction. The opposite of dehydration is water intoxication. In an occurrence of water intoxication, what happens is that an individual may consume too much water without giving the body the equal amount of nutrients to counterbalance the water consumed. The recommended intake of water is 64 oz. a day; in comparison to the amount of water I drank, I fell short by 22.4 oz. of water with an average intake of 41.6 oz. of water per day. Based from this project I realized that if I don’t drink enough water per day my body will have a hard time transporting minerals throughout my body and excreting all the toxins out of my
Task 5 According to the utility theory, consumers would change their spending pattern if the satisfaction they gain from the products or the price of products alter. For instance, initially a consumer may be allocating her spending between two products, X and Y such as: Marginal utility of X = Marginal utility of Y Price of X Price of Y 20 = 35
Task 1: Write a letter to the editor Dear Dr Holzapfel: After reviewing the manuscript submitted by Pearson et al. , I suggest the paper to be revised before the acceptance for publication is granted. The paper hypothesised the predictive response of cell differentiation to be mathematically represented as a function of growth factors concentration in conjunction with shear stress level in a hollow fibre membrane bioreactor (HFMB).
I will advise Jim and Laura to settle down and don't be alert about this issue since it will be alright. I will get the date and time that they touched base at the dealership. I would first tell John and Laura, that we should decide whether they have an agreement with Stan the sales representative. I will make it known to them that the gatherings in the agreement are lawfully committed to satisfy the terms of the assention. The components that characterize that they have an agreement are an offer, thought and acknowledgment and thought.
The team discussed the supports needed in the area of nutrition and the factors that impact Robbie's nutritional status. Robbie is currently diagnosed with hypothroidism and hypercholesteren which are direct results of poor nutrition. The team and Robbie discussed improving his health and weight through diet and exercise. The team discussed the possibility of increasing Robbie's physical activity as well as improving his nutrition. The team discussed some healthy food alternatives that will be effective in lowering his low density lipoprotein cholesterol on a dialy bases.
FON 241 LL Lab 11 Weight Management Name: Tonya Hembree Questions: Weight Control 1. What was your average calorie intake? (See Intake Column in the Intakes vs. Goals section) (5 pts)My average calorie intake was 1334.8 kcalorie. 2. What percentage of your personal DRI did you consume?
The targets for this goal are going to be very difficult to measure as climate change is constantly evolving and data will therefore never be specific. “Measuring resilience and adaptive capacity to climate hazards and natural disasters in all countries” is going to be more complex than just collecting the occurrences of these climatic events. Similarly, every government is capable of observing and collecting data on their progress when considering the implementation of measures in target 13.2 and of education programs and the organization of awareness campaigns in target 13.3. However, the difficulty of measuring these targets is that their assessment is based on subjectivity, except for their financial aspect.
Through this food diary assignment, I have learned that I have a somewhat healthy diet, but it would be good for me to add some more nutritious foods to my diet. Through this analysis, I will discuss the ranges and limits of specific nutrients, and what my average levels were for the two days that I recorded for this assignment. According to my nutrient intake reports, my intake of calories, fiber, and cholesterol were all under or at the target value. The target value of calories is 2000 while my average value was only 1271 calories.
You can only go a few day without water before your body will start to shut down. Water helps the body to disperse other nutrients, and will dissolve and eliminate the waste products in the digestion system. Water is needed to maintain blood pressure. It is involved in all cellular activities. When the body is deprived of water it becomes dehydrated.
B. What is a well balanced diet? 1. Each and everyone has different estimated amount calories they are suppose to intake to maintain their energy based on their gender and age groups. So usually recommended fat intake for everyone is about 20-35%, for their protein is 10-35% of their diet and carbohydrates intake is 40-65% 2.

A dehydrated brain works harder to accomplish the same amount as a normal brain and it even temporarily shrinks because of its lack of water. Over-hydration, or hyponatremia, is usually caused by over consumption of water in short amount of time. Athletes are often the victims of over-hydration because of complications in regulating water levels in extreme physical conditions. Whereas the dehydrated brain amps up the production of antidiuretic hormone, the over-hydrated brain slows, or even stops, releasing it into the blood. Sodium electrolytes in the body become diluted, causing cells to swell.
Our bodies depend on water for survival; it is second only to oxygen. It would seem fair to assume that, because it is so important for the general function of our system, we would pay close attention to our hydration levels. This just isn 't so. Misinformation on the importance of keeping fluid levels balanced and exactly how much water is needed to keep our systems hydrated abounds. Do you need 8 glasses of water daily?
It is important to replace the fluids you lose from diarrhea and vomiting. If you become severely dehydrated,
A good rule of thumb is to consume eight cups of water a day. While this is a solid recommendation for most, it’s important to note that it doesn’t take into account gender, environment, altitude, or fitness level—factors that could affect fluid intake needs. Start recording your water intake throughout the day, and pay attention to your energy levels. Eight cups is an excellent benchmark for healthy people (and will earn you five points if you’re currently
