Six Basic Nutrients 1. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates can be grouped into two categories: simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates are sugars whereas complex carbohydrates consist of starch and dietary fibre. 2. Protein from food is broken down into amino acids by the digestive system. 3. The fat in food includes a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fat. 4. Vitamins help to regulate chemical reactions in the body. 5. Minerals are components of foods that are involved in many body functions. 6. Water is a vital nutrient for good health. Next Previous Return to menu
Resources - Free Tools: Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine Do you know the glycemic load of your daily meals? With this Glycemic Load tool, you can estimate the GL of your own and your patients' diets. Begin by building your own typical day's meals. Drag food items from the food selector on the left to the tray area on the right. Did your daily total exceed the target GL of 100 or less? Glycemic response is a complex interplay of food chemistry and the body's biochemistry. How much sodium is in a typical American diet? Use the drop-down menu below the salt shaker to choose either a normal diet or a restricted-sodium (for hypertensive patient) diet. Drag foods from the food selector at the bottom to the meal timeline. You can remove a food by clicking the red X after the food item.
Effects of a standardized Bacopa mon... [J Altern Complement Med. 2008 Carbohydrate A carbohydrate is a biological molecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen:oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water); in other words, with the empirical formula Cm(H2O)n (where m could be different from n).[1] Some exceptions exist; for example, deoxyribose, a sugar component of DNA,[2] has the empirical formula C5H10O4.[3] Carbohydrates are technically hydrates of carbon;[4] structurally it is more accurate to view them as polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones.[5] The term is most common in biochemistry, where it is a synonym of saccharide, a group that includes sugars, starch, and cellulose. The saccharides are divided into four chemical groups: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Carbohydrates perform numerous roles in living organisms. Polysaccharides serve for the storage of energy (e.g., starch and glycogen) and as structural components (e.g., cellulose in plants and chitin in arthropods). [edit]
Cranial Osteopathy, Craniosacral Therapy - Dr. Weil's Wellness Therapies What is cranial osteopathy? Cranial osteopathy (also called cranial therapy or craniosacral therapy) is one variety of osteopathic manipulative therapies. It stimulates healing by using gentle hand pressure to manipulate the skeleton and connective tissues, especially the skull and sacrum (the large, triangular bone at the base of the spinal column). Cranial osteopathy is based on the controversial theory that the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord, has subtle, rhythmic pulsations that are vital to health and can be detected and modified by a skilled practitioner. About five percent of physicians in the United States are doctors of osteopathy (DOs), and fewer than 10 percent of them rely on manipulation as a main method of treatment. However, some medical doctors and dentists have had training in cranial osteopathy. What conditions is cranial osteopathy used for? What should one expect from a visit to a practitioner of cranial osteopathy therapy? What is Dr.

Protein Once formed, proteins only exist for a certain period of time and are then degraded and recycled by the cell's machinery through the process of protein turnover. A protein's lifespan is measured in terms of its half-life and covers a wide range. They can exist for minutes or years with an average lifespan of 1–2 days in mammalian cells. Abnormal and or misfolded proteins are degraded more rapidly either due to being targeted for destruction or due to being unstable. Biochemistry Chemical structure of the peptide bond (bottom) and the three-dimensional structure of a peptide bond between an alanine and an adjacent amino acid (top/inset) Most proteins consist of linear polymers built from series of up to 20 different L-α-amino acids. Synthesis Biosynthesis A ribosome produces a protein using mRNA as template. Chemical synthesis Structure The crystal structure of the chaperonin. Three possible representations of the three-dimensional structure of the protein triose phosphate isomerase.
David R. Hamilton, Ph.D.: Compassion: The Elixir of Life? New research suggests that compassion might be able to slow the aging process. Gerontologists (scientists who research aging) probing into why we age have found that a major part of the effects of aging may actually be collateral damage in the body due to inflammation. On the whole, inflammation is vital. It is part of the immune response that helps facilitate healing of the body. But the problem is that on the one hand inflammation helps us heal, but on the other it can also cause us harm. It is now known that inflammation plays a significant role in many serious diseases, and especially so in cardiovascular disease -- a major killer in the western world. The human nervous system controls levels of inflammation much like a brake slows a car down. But it turns out that the vagus nerve doesn't have the same fitness in everyone. How can we exercise our vagus nerves? The anti-inflammatory properties of compassion have now begun to be studied. Maybe compassion is the elixir of life.

Fat Examples of edible animal fats are lard, fish oil, butter/ghee and whale blubber. They are obtained from fats in the milk and meat, as well as from under the skin, of an animal. Examples of edible plant fats include peanut, soya bean, sunflower, sesame, coconut and olive oils, and cocoa butter. Vegetable shortening, used mainly for baking, and margarine, used in baking and as a spread, can be derived from the above oils by hydrogenation. These examples of fats can be categorized into saturated fats and unsaturated fats. Chemical structure Example of a natural triglyceride with three different fatty acids. There are many different kinds of fats, but each is a variation on the same chemical structure. The properties of any specific fat molecule depend on the particular fatty acids that constitute it. Saturated and unsaturated fats A fat's constituent fatty acids may also differ in the C/H ratio. Saturated and unsaturated fats differ in their energy content and melting point. Trans fats
Unified Humanity Theory | Unity I am sure that most everyone has heard something to the effect of "We are One" or "we are all connected." Many of us might even agree with this notion. The question is how many among us really grasp how profound a notion this really is? How many stop to think what a true belief in this means for humanity as a whole? I for one do contemplate the meaning behind these words on a regular basis. Although I do agree that each of us is inescapably linked and that a connection exists between everything in the Universe I cannot honestly say that my actions and thoughts are always in line with my belief.

How Fats Work" Between the food commercials you see on TV every day and the many nutrition bulletins and reports you hear about on the news every night, you get a huge amount of information about the fats that you eat. For example, you have probably heard of the following terms: Saturated fatUnsaturated fatPolyunsaturated fatMono-unsaturated fatFatty acidsEssential fatty acidsTrans fatty acidsOmega-3 and omega-6 fatty acidsPartially hydrogenated fat Have you ever wondered what it all means, or why it matters? We see pure fats in three places at the grocery store: In the vegetable oil aisle you see oils created from different seeds and nuts. The rest of the grocery store is, of course, filled with fats and oils, although they are less obvious. So what are these fats and oils really made of?
