energy requirement and energy expenditure.pptSehar80
The document discusses human energy requirements and energy expenditure. It explains that the body uses most of its daily energy supply for basal metabolic needs like circulation, respiration and digestion. Additional energy is used for voluntary activities and exercise. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins provide nutrients that are converted to ATP to fuel these energy needs and requirements vary throughout life stages. Total energy requirement is calculated as basal energy expenditure plus physical activity plus the thermic effect of food.

Nutrients can be divided into micro and macro categories. Macro-nutrients include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, which are required in large amounts and provide calories. Carbohydrates serve as the body's primary energy source and are made up of sugars, starches, and fiber. Proteins are made of amino acids and provide energy as well as building blocks for growth and repair.
The document discusses nutrition and healthy eating, covering the five main food groups, importance of daily exercise, recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables, benefits of dairy products, and how proper nutrition provides energy, reduces stress and prevents health issues. Key recommendations include eating a variety of fruits and vegetables each day, drinking milk or eating yogurt, getting 60 minutes of moderate exercise daily, and choosing whole grains over refined grains.
Intermittent fasting is an Interventional strategy where in individuals are subjected to varying periods of fasting.
It doesn’t specify which foods you should eat but rather when you should eat them.
Intermittent fasting (IF) is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating.
It’s currently very popular in the health and fitness community.
Recently attracted attention because:
1- Its Evidence-Based Health Benefits
2- Its potential for correcting metabolic Abnormalities
3- Better adherence than other methods
Carbohydrates provide an important source of energy. Low-carbohydrate diets restrict carbohydrate intake, often below 130g per day, to induce weight loss. Very low-carbohydrate ketogenic diets reduce carbohydrates to less than 50g per day to produce ketosis, where the body uses fat instead of glucose for fuel. While low-carb diets may aid short-term weight loss, long-term safety and effectiveness require more research due to potential vitamin deficiencies or unfavorable cholesterol changes with strict low-carb intake.

The Comprehensive Review on Fat Soluble Vitaminsiosrphr_editor
This review article deals with brief description of fat soluble vitamins with figures and tables
showing statistical analytical data duly quoting the references wherever necessary. The word “soluble” actually
means “able to be dissolved.” Whether a vitamin is classified as 'fat-soluble' or 'water-soluble' has to do with
how the vitamin is absorbed, stored and removed from the body. Vitamins are tiny organic compounds with a
huge impact on the health and well-being of the body. The body needs a small amount of fat soluble vitamins in
order to stay in optimal health. Fat soluble vitamins play an important role in keeping the body healthy and
functioning from immune system and muscle and heart function, easy flow and clotting of blood as well as eye
health. They are critical to health and wellness–particularly reproductive health and wellness. Low-fat, no-fat
and vegan diets are woefully lacking in fat soluble vitamins. However a diet based on traditional foods can
naturally provide these vitamins. Science is still learning about many of the functions of vitamins. "Too much
vitamin A, D, or K can lead to increased levels that are unhealthy and can cause serious health consequences.
Diseased conditions leading to decreased fat absorption leads to decreased absorption of vitamins. The fatsoluble
vitamins work most safely and effectively when obtained them from natural foods within the context of a
diet rich in all their synergistic partners. If fat soluble vitamins are stored for lengthy time they generate threat
for toxicity than water soluble vitamins and such situation even aggravated, provided they are consumed in
excess. Vitamin products, above the legal limits are not considered food supplements and must be registered as
prescription or non-prescription (over-the-counter drugs) due to their potential side effects. Vitamin A and E
supplements do not provide health benefits for healthy individuals, instead they may enhance mortality, and it is
held proved that beta-carotene supplements can be harmful to smokers
The Clinical Nutrition Service is responsible for advising and adapting diets for various disease conditions to hospitalized patients or patients visiting outpatient clinics. The staff of the unit includes clinical nutritionists qualified in various fields of specialization such as: diabetes, gestational diabetes, digestive system diseases, geriatrics, surgery and heart, among others.
The document provides a comprehensive review of fat soluble vitamins, including vitamin A, D, E, and K. It discusses the historical background of vitamin discovery, classification of vitamins based on solubility, and key facts about each fat soluble vitamin such as chemical structure, sources, recommended daily intake, and potential for toxicity from excess intake. The review contains tables and figures to illustrate vitamin structures and classifications. It aims to cover the essential roles and properties of the four fat soluble vitamins.
Vitamins are substances that your body needs to grow and develop normally. There are 13 of these essential vitamins: A, C, D, E, K and the B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12 and folate).
You can usually get all your vitamins from the foods you eat. Your body can also make vitamins D and K. People who eat a vegetarian diet may need to take a vitamin B12 supplement to ensure that they are getting the vitamins usually found in meat.
Each vitamin has a specific job. If you have low levels of certain vitamins, you may develop a deficiency disease. Some vitamins may also help prevent medical problems. The best way to get enough vitamins is to eat a balanced diet with a variety of foods. In some cases, you may need to take a daily multivitamin for optimal health. However, high doses of some vitamins may make you sick.

Vitamins and Deficiencies - Yash Damani MBBSyrdamani
Vitamins are organic compounds that are essential for the proper functioning of the body. There are two main types - water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C that are not stored in large amounts and are excreted in urine, and fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A and D that can be stored in fatty tissues. Insufficient intake of vitamins can lead to deficiency diseases like scurvy from lack of vitamin C or rickets from lack of vitamin D. While bodybuilders may consider supplements to meet increased nutritional needs, caution is needed to avoid potential side effects of excessive supplementation.
Supplements are goods that people ingest to enhance their diets with extra nutrients. Due to lack of regulation, it is difficult to determine which supplements are high quality and safe. The article provides guidance on identifying high-quality supplements, including looking for third-party certification and products containing safe dosages of vitamins and minerals. While a varied diet can meet most nutritional needs, supplements may be appropriate for those with deficiencies or in special life stages like pregnancy. Children's needs require consultation with a physician to identify any needed supplements.

Vitamin A is essential for vision, immune function, and cell growth. Deficiency can cause night blindness and susceptibility to infection. Treatment involves oral vitamin A supplements. Toxicity from excessive intake is rare but can cause headaches and bone pain.
Vitamin D is important for calcium absorption and bone health. Deficiency causes rickets in children, characterized by bowed legs. Treatment involves vitamin D supplements and exposure to sunlight. Toxicity from high intake can raise calcium levels and cause nausea.
Thiamine (B1) deficiency, known as beriberi, affects nerve function and heart health. It is treated with thiamine supplements administered orally or intravenously.

Vitamins are organic compounds that are required in small amounts for various metabolic functions and play important roles in regulating metabolism, growth, and reproduction. They are classified as either water-soluble or fat-soluble based on their solubility properties. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water and are not stored in the body, while fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed with fats and can accumulate in tissues.
