1. What are your strengths when it comes to nutrition (Refer to specific nutrients).

Health
1 answer:
iris [78.8K]3 years ago

Answer with Explanation:

When it comes to nutrition, I love eating whole organic eggs and salmon. I consider this as my strength because not everyone are into these types of food. For me, these are good sources of <u>protein, vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids.</u> Protein is essential in order for the body to build and repair tissues. They also help regulate the body's cells, tissues and organs. On the other hand, "omega-3 Fatty acids" prevent high blood pressure, thus improving my mood. I often eat salmon in order to ensure that I will have a lesser chance to have a cardiovascular disease.

So, before going to the supermarket, I make sure to include them, every time, in my grocery list.

When Charlene visits her doctor, she is told that one way to slow the aging process is by the consumption of antioxidants. As a
grandymaker [24]

Answer: C. Vitamin E

Explanation: By way of introduction, we all know that a sure way of slowing aging is by the consumption of foods that contain antioxidants.

It is important to note that here are plant foods which have rich sources of antioxidants. They are most abundant in fruits and vegetables, as well as other foods including nuts, wholegrains and some meats, poultry and fish. Aside from the Vitamin E giving at the option, there are other good sources.

Good sources of specific antioxidants include:

i. Allium sulphur compounds – leeks, onions and garlic.

ii. Anthocyanins – eggplant, grapes and berries.

iii. Beta-carotene – pumpkin, mangoes, apricots, carrots, spinach and parsley.

iv. Catechins – red wine and tea

copper – seafood, lean meat, milk and nuts.

v. Cryptoxanthins – red capsicum, pumpkin and mangoes.

vi. Flavonoids – tea, green tea, citrus fruits, red wine, onion and apples.

vii. Indoles – cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower.

viii. Isoflavonoids – soybeans, tofu, lentils, peas and milk.

ix. Lignans – sesame seeds, bran, whole grains and vegetables.

x. Lutein – green, leafy vegetables like spinach, and corn.

xi. Lycopene – tomatoes, pink grapefruit and watermelon.

xii. Manganese – seafood, lean meat, milk and nuts.

xiii. Polyphenol – thyme and oregano

xiv. Selenium – seafood, offal, lean meat and whole grains

xv. Vitamin A – liver, sweet potatoes, carrots, milk, and egg yolks.

xvi. vitamins C – oranges, blackcurrants, kiwifruit, mangoes, broccoli, spinach, capsicum and strawberries.

xvii. Vitamins E – vegetable oils (such as wheatgerm oil), avocados, nuts, seeds and whole grains.

xviii. zinc – seafood, lean meat, milk and nuts

xix. Zoochemicals – red meat, offal and fish.

However, there is an increasing evidence that antioxidants are more effective when obtained from whole foods, rather than isolated from a food and presented in tablet form – and some supplements can actually increase cancer risk. For instance, vitamin A (beta-carotene) has been associated with a reduced risk of certain cancers, but an increase in others, such as lung cancer in smokers, if vitamin A is purified from foodstuffs. A study examining the effects of vitamin E found that it did not offer the same benefits when taken as a supplement. Also, antioxidant minerals or vitamins can act as pro-oxidants or damaging ‘oxidants’ if they are consumed at levels significantly above the recommended amounts for dietary intake.

In conclusion, a well-balanced diet, which includes consuming antioxidants from whole foods, is best. If there is need on taking a supplement, seek supplements that contain all nutrients at the recommended levels.

AlekseyPX

Answer:

Exercising doesn't mean you have to spend hours in the gym. Exercises can be done at the comforts of your home too, and there's plenty of exercise available, especially for those who have less time to do so. Just like for example, waiting time. While you are waiting for your clothes in the washing machine to finish, you may use this time to do some basic exercises such as running in place, jumping jacks or carrying weights. It may only take a few minutes, but performing these exercises in less time is better than not doing it at all.
