...Nutritional Analysis of Horse Feed Darrie Lewis Partnered with Danielle Henry Introduction Animal nutrition is essential for meeting livestock nutritional requirements in maintaining acceptable performance, growth, and development. Animal nutrition focuses on dietary needs of domestic animals in agriculture or food production. In order to properly give the right balance of nutritional needs, one must know what the animal need in order to properly grow and develop. The amount of feed one gives to an animal should include an overall balance of essential nutrients to ensure successful production. An optimal nutritious diet should include intakes of amino acids, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. The importance and our overall objective of this lab was to determine the different nutritional aspects in animal feed. In our case, my group and I analyzed horse feed. We were to determine the amount and percentages of ether extract, protein analysis, NDF, acid detergent fiber, ADF, and ADL in an amount of feed.

...Concepts of Nutritional Health Food: It is any substance eaten to nourish the human body. Food can come in two forms; solid or liquid. It can be taken in by the mouth, feeding tube, or for those with health issues it can be directly put into their veins. Food provides your body with energy to enable you to work, grow, repair and participate in activities. The types of food you eat can affect the efficiency of many of your body’s processes. A variety of nutrients make up our food such as carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and minerals. Diet: This refers to the varieties of food and amount an individual ingests daily. Diet does not necessarily relate to a weight loss diet, it also includes every meal, snack and drink a person consumes. A diet is also used to measure the variety of food a person eats to control their nutritional intake to help them lose weight. When a person is on a ‘diet’ they carefully observe what they eat and the volumes in which they eat to help cut out or lower the amount of food containing higher levels of fat to lose weight. Meals and Snacks: A normal diet traditionally includes three meals a day although in today’s society many people get their food or nutrients from eating snacks throughout the day or between meals. Meals are a balanced amount of food which contains the nutrients that our body needs to function efficiently. A snack is a small amount of food which we eat between meals to keep our body fuelled; they are not necessarily unhealthy as...

...Nutritional Study Worksheet Bobby Goff SCI/241 May 8, 2014 Susan Keezer Nutritional Study Worksheet 1. The topic I choose to discuss is caffeine, particularly in coffee, there have been many studies to determine where it may be of benefit, and where it may cause undesirable effects. Some health benefits of caffeine are reduced risks of Parkinson's disease, a lower risk of developing gallstones, improved mental performance, physical performance, a reduced time of headzches, and improved heart health. Caffeine is full of sugar so for people with diabetes it can cause the disease to be much worse for that person. Caffeine has a negative effect on sleep, you should not drink coffee late at night then try and go to sleep. It can have a negative effect on your bone density, which gets worse with age and maked it that much easier for broken bones. 2. Drinking coffee but, not over doing it can prevent some cardiovascular problems. It always helps with inflammation which of course helps to prevent certain heart related illness. Most people don't realize that coffee is actually good for the body and for our heart's because, coffee contains antioxidants. Coffee can also help burn fat and improve physical performance. The reason you find caffeine in commercial fat burning supplements is due to it's stimulant effect on the central nervous system, both raises metabolism and increases the oxidation of fatty acids. Caffeine can also improve athletic performance by...

...Nutritional Disorders Rickets Nutritional Disorders Rickets Jessica Roberts Virginia College Nutrition 1200 October 26, 2011 Mrs. Julia Burnett Abstract Nutritional rickets remains a public health problem in many countries, but mostly problematic in developing countries where they lack vitamin D and adequate ultra-violent light exposure. This disease is seen in younger children ages six to twenty-four months, especially in the infants that are primarily breast-fed. This is because breast milk is low in vitamin D. The disease can also appear in toddlers and older children it is said that this is due to low dietary calcium intake. This can be solved simply with calcium supplements. Nutritional Disorders Rickets Nutritional rickets is a disease that causes the bones to soften and often times break (7). When people think about it they normally visualize kids that have misshaped legs and arms and mostly kids that are malnourished. The causes of this disease are a vitamin D deficiency, calcium deficiency and the lack of ultraviolent light exposure (1). Despite the medical advancements nutritional rickets remains a major problem in developing countries. In this paper, I will review what the disease is, the causes, how it is diagnosed, signs and symptoms, how to treat, and the prognosis. Nutritional rickets also known as osteomalacia in adults causes the bones to soften and to break (2). This disease is mostly seen in children ages six to twenty-four...

...Fitness and Nutritional Habits Regina Cruz Paradigms of Health August 20, 2013 Dr. Roland Villareal Fitness and nutrition go hand in hand. I believe this because no matter the amount of exercise anyone does, the positive effects are mainly from the food choices we make. Example, if I continuously ate fast food and ran on a daily basis there would be no results. At some point, either my eating habits are going to have to change or the exercising would stop. It becomes a mental strain when results are not met and the exercise has become more difficult. Healthy eating habits and the right fitness regime lead to a healthier lifestyle. Obesity is problematic here in the United States. According to the CDC over one third of adults in America are obese and 17% of children between the ages of 2-19 are obese (Overweight and Obesity, 2013). Studies have shown that America is not healthy. It said to cost Americans 150 billion dollars and 10% of medical costs (Overweight and Obesity, 2013). Contributing factors have been said to be the foods we intake, the convenience of the type of foods that are available, and the food portions have been increased. Obesity can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and some types of cancer (Overweight and Obesity, 2013). With obesity being an epidemic in America our physical activity has lessen too. When I was growing up I remember always being outside. Now a days, it is rare you see kids playing in the neighborhood. The sedentary lifestyle is among...

...Running head: MODULE 3 ASSIGNMENT Module 3 Assignment K.M.W. Grand Canyon University HLT 324V April 02, 2011 Nutritional Practices Unconventional childbearing rituals have been around for many years. This history of childbirth explains some of these rituals. I cannot personally compare experiences with childbirth. I have yet to have a child. This Essay explores various methods of giving birth, and developed changes that have occurred since then. We have advanced technology to deal with all kinds of labor. Being a medical professional I have seen especially difficult deliveries. There are many complications that a woman can have during the labor process such as: breach babies or obstructed labor. Our access to sterile procedures, diagnostic machinery, and modern equipment helps many women through these complications safely. Access to a variety of medication, has come a long way from giving the mother chloroform or a bottle of whiskey for easing pain. These women did not have a choice of who is with them during the labor, methods of decreasing pain, or infection free birthing areas. Today we are free to choose these things, except for emergent birthing situations. This is important, considering that all males were banned from delivery rooms until the mid-1900’s! Men were not allowed anywhere near childbirth situations. There is a story of one Doctor, Dr. Wertt of Hamburg, in 1522, had the idea to dress up in women’s clothes to gain entry to a labor...

What problem do you want to solve? * The Purpose of the question. Why do you want to answer this question? Why is it important? * Point of view. How are you looking at the problem? What are your values? The Question. Should India implement mandatory iodine supplementation for pregnant women and children? Purpose of the question. Iodine is an essential substrate for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. The daily requirement of iodine is at least equal to the amount of hormone iodine degraded daily by the thyroid gland. When the requirements of iodine are not met, abnormalities such as thyroid function abnormalities, goiter formation, mental retardation, decreased fertility rate, and infant mortality occur (Pharoah, 1971). In many areas, iodization of salt, bread, or water was used to prevent problems of endemic iodine deficiency. However, because of various socioeconomic and geographic conditions, iodized salt does not reach the endemic areas (Pharoah, 1971). Also, because of unacceptable variability in the iodine content of kelp, seaweed, and other foods, supplementation should be implemented for adequate iodine intake (Zimmermann, 2003). In India, the number of pregnant and lactating women was estimated to be about 65 million in 2002 (Vijayaraghavan...

This consists of all meals throughout the day including snacks, which can be eaten in between meals, and in most cases contain a lot of sugar and fats taking up a huge majority of an individuals recommended daily intake allowance.

...Nutritional Assessment Duane Daquioag NURS 225 WestCoast University Nutritional Self-Assessment Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. “It can be used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health complications” (CDC, 2015) but it is not a reliable source of information to get a person’s body fatness or health of an individual. My BMI score is 24.4; to find that, I divided my weight in kilograms (70.9 kg) by the square of height in meters (2.9 m). HAMWI is used to calculate the ideal body weight of an individual based on their height and body frame (FitnessHealth101, 2016). To calculate for my ideal body weight I should add 6 pounds to every inch above 5 feet and add it to 106. So mine would be= 106 + (6 x 7)= 148 lbs. According to HAMWI, my ideal weight should be 148 lbs but my current weight is 156 lbs; so that means that I am currently 8 pounds over my ideal body weight. In accordance with BMIs standards, I am within the healthy range of my body mass index, but as HAMWI stated, I am 8 pounds over my ideal body weight. “One concern with the accuracy of the Hamwi approach to determining your optimum weight is that an individual's lean muscle mass is not taken into account. This may produce a result that underestimates the optimum weight for an individual” (FitnessHealth101, 2016). Hamwi does not take into account the weight of my lean muscle mass and I do weight lifting as part of my regular...
