5 Day Nutrition Analysis

Nutrition Analysis of Me from 9/19-9/23

Through these five days that I analyzed my foods, I noticed that there is a lot of nutrient that I am lacking in certain categories such as vitamin A, Magnesium, and Sodium. Sodium is not a component of the daily health category that is important because the body can function without sodium but too much can harm it. Foods that can help my diet increase the vitamin C and Magnesium is through foods such as beef, carrots, and sweet potatoes for vitamin A; although there may be too much vitamin A in those foods for my diet, they will give me more than needed. As for the magnesium, beans, rice, and green leafy foods will make my magnesium capacity fill up daily.

One observation that I noticed about when I eat is that I eat very similar foods each day, there are not many differences among my diet which should change because different foods can give different benefits even if they have the same amount of protein and fiber or calories in it. The excesses that occur in my diet consist of the iron and protein, which makes sense because since I am an athlete I eat protein before and after practice, which would raise my iron levels. Another excess is vitamin C which comes primarily from the fruits that I eat. Instead of so many fruits, I shoulds include more colorful vegetables on my plate and less fruits and carbohydrates.

Ways in which I can keep the other nutrients levels constant but raise the amount of Vitamin A and Magnesium is by adding these foods into my diet; Spinach, pumpkin seed, black beans, figs, and dark chocolate. Eating too much protein can do harm to the body because once there is enough protein for the muscles and all the energy that is needed to be burned off is burned off, then the protein is stored as fat which causes weight gain and dehydration when it takes extra water to be able to break down the proteins. If I then do not drink enough water, my mind will tell me that I am hungry again and go for more food when I am full.

One item that I notices I almost completely cut out of my diet is milk and dairy products. Dairy products contain an abundant amount of calcium and vitamin D which would be beneficial during the winter when I am inside most of the time because it is cooler outside. At the moment I get lots of vitamin D from the sun and calcium from some yogurt and the seafood that I consume, but comes winter and I will need to start drinking more milk than I do now.

Overall, my diet is healthy in a caloric standpoint because my average intake of calories a day is 1854.36 calories when the recommended amount is about 1886.25. I stay active at least five or six days a week and when I work out it will be an intense workout. Because I work out and hard most days of the week, I am constantly hungry, an athlete thing, but I do have to make sure that what I eat is good for my body. I may eat a lot of food but it is good food.

Yes I did have two slices of pie on friday night, but it was my little sisters birthday and as long as it is not every day that I am eating that food, pie will not disturb the sequence of my bodily functions immensely. Yes it will irritate some hormones such as leptin, insulin, insulin, and glucagon, but that is what all sugars do, and it puts the hormones to work. Having too much will hurt the hormones so limit the consumption of sugars and carbohydrates, both found in pie.

My average daily diets: Day 4

HEALTH

Health is the way in which a body feels happy, healthy, and balanced. When a person eats right, exercises regularly, is stress free, and is social, the body is at homeostasis. Not every day of the year will this be a persons current status, but the more we try to keep this homeostasis, the better our bodies will feel in the long term.

Ciliated Epithelial Cells

Ciliated Epithelial Cells:
         Pseudo-stratified Ciliated columnar epithelium is the technical term of the tissue it creates because the layers that the cells create are uneven making the tissue Pseudo-stratified, and the long rectangular and cylindrical shape of the cells makes the tissue columnar and as a whole this tissue is classified as smooth tissue. Surrounding the cell are hair like particles called "Cilia" that stick out of the cell. The purpose of cilia is to help the cell move along the tissue or to get rid of unwanted particles move past the cell; cilia can perform those functions because they typically flow in one direction.
         The cell itself is very basic, unlike our human Eukaryota cells, Ciliated Cells are Prokaryotic and contain a nucleus, and a membrane with the cilia hairs along the edge.  
         There are many different functions for this type of cell, and its function depends on its location, but more often than not, these cells are found in air way passages like nose and lungs. When these cells are in the nose, their function is first to filter out the air that goes through us. All of the large and unwanted particles that go through the nose are filtered out through the Ciliated cells. When a person is ill, mucus will build up in their airways and will block particles from escaping. Mobile Ciliated cells will move the mucus out of the lungs and eventually out of the body. The mobility of these cells are energy generated from enzymes that use adenosine triphosphate to make the cell mobile. The enzyme attaches to the fibers of the cell which generated enough energy to move the cell in one direction. 
         Another function of conjoined cells is to flow cerebral fluids through out the ventricles of the brain to keep that brain healthy, protected, and ready for relay signals.
         The cilia at the edge of the cell make up microtubules which make up the cells cytoskeleton and gives it structure.  Those microtubules then bind together by linkage proteins to make stronger tubes.


 
                                                                                  The large white globs consist of the mucus that is                                                                                     being captured by the Cilia hairs along the Cilliated cells.

The Crime Investigation of Hana the Banana

Crime Investigation of Patient Hana the Banana

Corner: Maxine Parr

       Through the external examination, we observed that on the left side of our Hana the Banana two lacerations stood out to us. Laceration #1 is medial to the ear and appears to have removed left eye. The gash ends 1 cm superior to the mouth. Laceration #2 is inferior to arm proximal to the feet. As for the right side of Hana, we found puncture wounds and discoloration a total of 2 cm superior to ear. Gash #1 is digital to the elbow and seems to have cut off 2 fingers. Another large gasg, gash #2, is superior to the feet and is cut at an oblique angle. lastly there is a gash #3 which is a right anterior cut 1.5 cm medial to the elbow.

       As for the internal examination, the right side has a gash on the upper right that has protruted into the body cavity towards the right of the frontal plane and about 2.5 cm into the banana. Next there was a gash inferior to the transverse plane at an oblique angle.  The left side included discoloration along the mid-saggional and discoloration inferior to the transverse plane.

 As investigator of this crime I declare the murder of Hana the Banana to be more complex than originally seemed. To start, the murderer stabbed Hana in the foot where she became disabled and unable to run for help. This is marked by the deep lash that went the deepest into her skin. She put up a tough battle on the floor though which is where the discoloration along the mid-sagittal comes in; those marks show a sign of struggle and work on her part. Multiple external wounds, all roughly the same depth and size shows that there was only one knife involved as the murder weapon. The excessive amount of slashes shows that during Hana's battle, she was partially able to get out of the way until the final stab, which took out Hana's left eye, medial to the ear and 1 cm superior to the mouth, leaving her blinded and soon bled out.

Rest in Peace Hana
