...Protein This paper will discuss how proteins contribute to a balanced diet and the discoveries I made when I consciously monitored my caloric intake and specifically the proteins contained within the total intake of calories. Protein is found in every cell in your body and is a necessary part of our diet. Two to three servings of protein each day will help you get the necessary amount of protein, which can help your body's cells and tissues function properly. Protein is an important part of nutrition and different animal and plant sources of protein provide different types of amino acids Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are used to replace old proteins in cells and tissues that have been broken down and need to be replaced. Proteins are biological polymers composed of amino acids. Amino acids, linked together by peptide bonds, form a polypeptide chain. One or more polypeptide chains twisted into a 3-D shape form a protein. Proteins have complex shapes that include various folds, loops, and curves. Folding in proteins happens spontaneously Proteins are made up of amino acids, and they are the “building blocks” of life. Our skin, muscles, tendons, cartilage, even hair and nails, are all because of protein. Protein helps form enzymes, hormones, antibodies and new tissues. It transports important nutrients in and out of those cells. There are nine amino acids known as “essential” amino acids, and therefore must be derived from what we eat. Arginine classified as...

...Participation in the National Lunch Program Informative Paper / Revision Juan Diego VII Becerra Strayer University ENG 115 Doctor Ronnie Davis November 16th, 2015 The National Breakfast and Lunch Program The National School Lunch Program, between many other food-for-school related Federal programs, have a direct reimbursement formula for the schools that participate in the exchange of these type of healthy meals. The more the schools do in providing better meals, the higher the reimbursement and award will be. The programs have actually improved drastically in the way it operates and how it has already demonstrated improvement into the children’s health. Child Obesity According to an American Medical Association research study in 2014 (Ogden, Carroll, Kit, Flegal), obesity has increased between 1999 and 2011 and but there has been no change between 2009 and 2011. In the US many policy changes have been made to reduce obesity since 2002 according to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (CDC) (Brener, O'Toole, Kann, Lowry, Wechsler, 2009). Additionally, childhood obesity is an issue worldwide. Back in 2006, a British author from Guardian News, John Carvel, mentioned that junk food and lack of exercise were part of the major reasons of the childhood obesity increase in the UK. Likewise, the US has similar issues. More than one in six children in the US is obese, an overall increase from the 1970’s. This epidemic has caused...

...I would ask for a burger without a bun. There are a lot of mouth breathers in the fast food industry, and asking some of these people for this simple request was just too much for them to comprehend. My mom lost over 100 pounds in less than a year, when combined the diet with water aerobics. Because there was way less sugary and carb rich foods in the house I lost a lot of weight also. Looking back at pictures of that time both my mom and I never looked better. About 10 years ago I fell in love with a girl who barely knew I existed and decided that I would win her heart by losing weight (unlike the previous admission, I can’t use being a teenager as an excuse.) I started the diet without reading anything or doing any kind of research besides a 5 minute conversation with my mom on how the diet works. This was in 2003 I believe and it...

Once molded, polvoron is wrapped in cellophane or Japanese paper. The sweet powder may also be used to fill small barquillos (rolled cookies) for a cookie called barqueron. (http://en.wikipilipinas.org/index.php?title=Polvoron) Bean is a common name for large plant seeds of several genera of the familyFabaceae (alternately Leguminosae) used for humanfood or animal feed. The whole young pods of bean plants, if picked before the pods ripen and dry, are very tender and may be eaten cooked or raw. Thus the word "green beans" means "green" in the sense of unripe (many are in fact not green in color), as the beans inside the pods of green beans are too small to comprise a significant part of the cooked fruit. The term "bean" originally referred to the seed of the broad bean, but was later expanded to include members of the genus Phaseolus, such as the common bean and the runner bean, and the related genus Vigna. The term is now applied in a general way to many other related plants such as soybeans, peas, lentils, chickpeas (garbanzos), vetches, and lupins. "Bean" can be used as a near-synonym of "pulse", an edible legume, though the term "pulses" is usually reserved...

I benefited from discussions with Dr V.R. Panchamukhi, and from comments of Dr S.P. Gupta and other participants at the Meeting The usual disclaimer applies. India’s Trade in 2020: A Mapping of Relevant Factors Introduction India's trade has generally grown at a faster rate compared to the growth of GDP over the past two decades. With the liberalization since 1991 in particular, the importance of international trade in India’s economy has grown considerably. As a result the ratio of international trade to GDP has gone up from 14 per cent in 1980 to nearly 20 per cent towards the end of the decade of 1990s. Given the trends of globalization and liberalization, the openness of Indian economy is expected to grow further in the coming two decades. The more exact magnitude of India's trade in 2020 and its proportion to India's national income...

...National Agricultural Scenario | | India’s economic security continues to be predicated upon the agriculture sector, and the situation is not likely to change in the foreseeable future. Even now, agriculture supports 58% of the population, as against about 75% at the time of independence. In the same period, the contribution of agriculture and allied sector to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has fallen from 61 to 19%. As of today, India supports 16.8% of world’s population on 4.2% of world�s water resources and 2.3% of global land. And per caput availability of resources is about 4 to 6 times less as compared to world average. This will decrease further due to increasing demographic pressure and consequent diversion of the land for non-agricultural uses. Around 51% of India’s geographical area is already under cultivation as compared to 11% of the world average. The present cropping intensity of 136% has registered an increase of only 25% since independence. Further, rain fed dry lands constitute 65% of the total net sown area. There is also an unprecedented degradation of land (107 million ha) and groundwater resource, and also fall in the rate of growth of total factor productivity. This deceleration needs to be arrested and agricultural productivity has to be doubled to meet growing demands of the population by 2050. Efficiency-mediated improvement in productivity is the most viable option to raise production. The country recorded impressive achievements in agriculture...

...Malnutrition in Bangladesh 1. Introduction: Malnutrition is globally the most important risk factor for illness and death, contributing to more than half of deaths in children worldwide. It is one of the most important underlying causes of child mortality in developing countries, particularly during the first 5 years of life; the major causes for this are poverty, world conflicts, lack of education, natural disasters and poor access to health care. Nearly one-third of children in the developing world are malnourished. The effects of changing environmental conditions in increasing malnutrition are multifactorial. Poor environmental conditions may increase insect and protozoal infections and also contribute to environmental deficiencies in micronutrients. Overpopulation, more commonly seen in developing countries, can reduce food production, leading to inadequate food intake or intake of foods of poor nutritional quality. Conversely, the effects of malnutrition on individuals can create and maintain poverty, which can further hamper economic and social development. Bangladesh being the eighth most populous country in the world, and one of the poorest a significant progress has been made in recent years in reducing the incidence of poverty and malnutrition, the fact remains that roughly half of its 15.5 million citizens live in deprivation, while roughly half of all children under 6 years show some evidence of chronic malnutrition. Poverty and malnutrition in Bangladesh...

...Antonie van Leeuwenhoek81: 537–547, 2002. © 2002Kluwer Academic Publishers. Printed in the Netherlands. 537 Antibiotic production by bacterial biocontrol agents Jos M. Raaijmakers ∗ , Maria Vlami & Jorge T. de Souza Department of Plant Sciences, Laboratory of Phytopathology, Wageningen University, Binnenhaven 5, 6709 PG Wageningen, The Netherlands (∗ Author for correspondence) Abstract Interest in biological control of plant pathogens has been stimulated in recent years by trends in agriculture to-wards greater sustainability and public concern about the use of hazardous pesticides. There is now unequivocal evidence that antibiotics play a key role in the suppression of various soilborne plant pathogens by antagonistic microorganisms. The significance of antibiotics in biocontrol, and more generally in microbial interactions, often has been questioned because of the indirect nature of the supporting evidence and the perceived constraints to an-tibiotic production in rhizosphere environments. Reporter gene systems and bio-analytical techniques have clearly demonstrated that antibiotics are produced in the spermosphere and rhizosphere of a variety of host plants. Several abiotic factors such as oxygen, temperature, specific carbon and nitrogen sources, and microelements have been identified to influence antibiotic production by bacteria biocontrol agents. Among the biotic factors that may play a determinative role in antibiotic production are the plant host, the...
