Protein
Protein is made up of amino acids and is important for growth, repair of body tissue, and energy. There are essential amino acids that the body cannot produce and must be obtained through food. Complete proteins contain all essential amino acids and are found in animal products, soy, and poi. Proteins have different structures and functions, such as antibodies that defend the body, contractile proteins that enable movement, and enzymes that speed up chemical reactions. High protein diets are recommended for building muscle while low protein diets may be prescribed for kidney or liver disease. Protein deficiency can cause conditions like kwashiorkor with symptoms of apathy, diarrhea, and edema.
Vita essentials r-evised
The document discusses the multivitamin supplement "Vita-essentials", which contains a unique blend of vitamins, minerals, and bioavailability enhancers. It provides essential nutrients that most people do not obtain enough of through diet alone due to factors like stress and poor diet. The supplement uses a bilayer tablet format that separates ingredients to avoid incompatibilities and allows for different release profiles. The ingredients in Vita-essentials support immunity, energy production, bone health, and muscle/nerve function.
Food
The document discusses the seven main classes of food and their functions. The seven classes are carbohydrates, fats, proteins, mineral salts, vitamins, fibre, and water. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins provide energy, building materials, and other nutrients for the body. Mineral salts and vitamins perform important roles and support various bodily functions. Different foods contain different nutrients to support growth, development, and overall health.
Composition of food and proximate analysis
The document discusses the chemical composition of food. It states that the major chemical substances found in food are carbohydrates, fats, proteins, water, vitamins, and minerals. Carbohydrates include sugars like glucose, fructose, and galactose, as well as starches. Fats are made up of triglycerides containing fatty acids. Proteins are composed of amino acids. Water and minerals also make up a significant portion of foods. Vitamins are essential nutrients that must be obtained through diet.
Nutrition
Nutrition is the supply of food and materials required by the body. There are six major components of nutrition: carbohydrates and fiber, protein, lipids (fats), vitamins, minerals and electrolytes, and water. Carbohydrates are the main energy provider and come from sources like grains, fruits, and vegetables. Protein is needed for growth and repair and comes from both plant and animal sources. Fats provide energy storage and come from foods like meat and dairy. Vitamins and minerals are needed for enzyme reactions and cellular functions. Water makes up 60% of body weight and is essential for survival. Adolescents have specific nutritional needs for growth and development.
.
Proteins are essential substances for life in cells that are made up of combinations of 20 different amino acids. The body can produce most amino acids, but needs 6 of them from food. Protein is needed for growth and repair of tissue. Protein is also very important for survival as it allows the body to maintain healthy skin, hair and nails through cell building and tissue repair, helps produce enzymes, keeps the immune system functioning, and supports growth. While protein is not a direct fuel source, removing it from the diet would cause the body to break down muscle. High-protein foods include meat, nuts, legumes, grains, eggs and milk.

The 6 Essential Nutrients - Christine Hodgson
The document discusses the 6 essential nutrients: carbohydrates, protein, fats & oils, vitamins, minerals, and water. It explains that essential nutrients cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained through food. Carbohydrates provide energy and come in simple and complex forms. Protein is needed to build and repair tissues. Fats insulate, cushion organs, and transport vitamins. Vitamins and minerals maintain proper body functions. Water is the most important nutrient and helps process vitamins, hydrate the body, and regulate temperature.
The Athletic Nutrition
To have energy during exercise, it is important to consume enough calories from foods that provide carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. Carbohydrates should make up 70% of calories to replenish glycogen stores in muscles. Proteins, which should be 10% of calories, help strengthen tissues and the immune system. Fats, at 20% of calories, optimize performance and endurance, and should come from foods like vegetable oils and fish. Vitamins and minerals, especially iron and calcium, are also essential for active individuals.
Food and nutrition
Nutrition is the science that interprets the interaction of nutrients and other substances in food in relation to maintenance, growth, reproduction, health and disease of an organism. A balanced diet containing adequate amounts of all nutrients is necessary for good health, while a poor diet can cause deficiency diseases and malnutrition. There are two types of nutrients, macronutrients which are required in large amounts like carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and micronutrients which are required in trace amounts like vitamins and minerals. Malnutrition occurs when the diet does not contain adequate calories, protein or nutrients for daily needs.

They play important roles in processes like metabolism, growth, and development. Deficiencies can lead to diseases, but toxicity is rare except at very high doses for some vitamins like niacin. Food sources and deficiency diseases are provided for each vitamin.
Vitamins And Types of Vitamins
A vitamin is an organic molecule (or a chemically closely related set of molecules, i.e. vitamers) that is an essential micronutrient which an organism needs in small quantities for the proper functioning of its metabolism. Essential nutrients cannot be synthesized in the organism, either at all or not in sufficient quantities, and therefore must be obtained through the diet. Vitamin C can be synthesized by some species but not by others; it is not a vitamin in the first instance but is in the second. The term vitamin does not include the three other groups of essential nutrients: minerals, essential fatty acids, and essential amino acids. Most vitamins are not single molecules, but groups of related molecules called vitamers. For example, vitamin E consists of four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. Some sources list fourteen vitamins, by including choline, but major health organizations list thirteen: vitamin A (as all-trans-retinol, all-trans-retinyl-esters, as well as all-trans-beta-carotene and other provitamin A carotenoids), vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niacin), vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B7 (biotin), vitamin B9 (folic acid or folate), vitamin B12 (cobalamins), vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin D (calciferols), vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols), and vitamin K (phylloquinone and menaquinones).
NUTRITION"Vitamins and Minerals"
Nutrition involves understanding how diet impacts health and disease. It is the process by which the body takes in and uses nutrients from food, including macronutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, and micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. These nutrients support growth, energy, immune function and more. A balanced diet containing a variety of whole foods is important for meeting nutritional needs, especially during periods of growth like adolescence. While vitamins and minerals are essential in small amounts, consuming supplements in large concentrated doses can be harmful.

Ayurveda 1a (Fr Jacob)
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine that treats the individual as a whole. It believes that health results from a balance between the body, mind and soul. When this equilibrium is disturbed, disease can occur. The document discusses Ayurvedic principles like the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), use of herbs and natural remedies to restore balance and focus on prevention over curing symptoms alone. It highlights how Ayurveda takes a holistic approach compared to Western medicine.
Healthy Eating (Marivic)
The document provides guidance on healthy eating based on Ayurvedic principles. It recommends eating whole, fresh foods in their natural state and avoiding overly processed foods. True hunger arises when the body is rested and the mind is calm. One should eat lightly in the morning if working and have the main meal when digestion will not interfere with activities. The goal is to eat for health rather than pleasure and to choose foods that suit one's individual constitution.

Yogic Nutrition 101A (Erli)
The document discusses the principles of yogic nutrition according to Ayurveda. Foods are categorized as sattvic, rajasic, or tamasic based on their qualities. Sattvic foods such as fruits and vegetables promote purity, health, and mental clarity. Rajasic foods like meat and spices overstimulate the mind and body. Tamasic foods which are stale or rotten cause lethargy. A yogic diet focuses on sattvic foods to nourish the body and calm the mind for spiritual practices.
Yoga and Its Practice (Luchi)
Yoga is an ancient system of philosophy and practice that aims to achieve direct perception of the truth or self (Atman) through eight limbs. The eight limbs include yamas (moral codes), niyamas (self-discipline), asana (posture), pranayama (breathing exercises), pratyahara (sense withdrawal), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (absorption). The first five limbs prepare the body and mind for deeper meditation practices like dharana, dhyana and samadhi, which involve concentrating the mind and achieving thoughtless awareness of the true self or oneness with Brahman.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
