NUTRITION IS LIFE - user’s manual.

 

NUTRITION IS LIFE - user’s manual.

Responsibility of Vibrant Health rests with the owner of the body.

 

Human body is 60% Water, 20% fat, 20% other nutrients. It is the science of how our body uses food as fuel to keep us alive. Food is converted into Energy which enables the body to do Work. Work is done by consuming Calories which are made available when food is Metabolized by the cells.

NUTRIENTS - are chemical substances that help the body to build, maintain & repair tissues & empower cells to send messages back & forth.

Macronutrients are Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats, & Water.

Micronutrients are Vitamins & Minerals.

 

Digestion Drama is a two-part process. First is mechanical breakup & scond being chemical breakdown of food we ingest.

Metabolism is the ability to turn complex foods into basic nutrients for easy absorption into the body. It is the Process of burning nutrients inside the cells.

Catabolism produces heat & energy, while Anabolism produces new tissues.

CALORIES are the by product of Catabolism process. We must manage them & not let them manage us, which happens most of the time, with majority of us. Sugars are Energy foods. Molasses, Jaggery, Brown sugar, Raw sugar, Glucose, Dextrose, Sucrose, Lactose, Maltose, Fructose, Corn syrup, Honey.  

Mouth is the entry point of food & liquids. The grinding process to break up food happens here. The Alkaline Saliva provides moisture & enzymes amylases / Ptyalin to break down Carbs into simple sugars. Therefore take small bites & Chew mindfully.

The stomach is the main vat for mixing the vital juices & Hydrochloric acid with the broken-down food particles. The rhythmic contractions that keep the thick soup, Chyme moving forward is termed Peristalsis.

Duodenum is the start of small intestines where Pancreas secrete alkaline juices to make Chyme less acidic so that Amylase can finish its job of carbs into sugars.  Insulin assists the sugars / glucose to transport them into the cells. Here the bile from Liver mixes the complex fats & water into a cohesive emulsion. The Proteins are converted into, [AA] Amino Acids & Alcohol dehydrogenase digests the alcohol into the blood stream.

The Enzyme Protease converts Proteins into Peptides, while Pepsin makes Polypeptides before making AA. In the next stage AA hooks up with Fats to morphea into lipoproteins & Carbs into glycoproteins.

NEW CELLS – Nucleic acids combine with Proteins to manufacture Nucleoproteins which make up the Nucleus of every cell along with Protoplasm. RNA & DNA are important Nucleic acids. 

The mini fingers inside the walls of intestines are called Villus & micro-Villi which help the chyme to knead & move forward. They are programmed to absorb specific nutrients only.

The sequence of absorption is in the order of breakdown beginning with Fe, Ca, Mg, Carbs, Proteins, Fats, water soluble Vitamins, & finally fat-soluble Vitamins, B12, Na, K, Alcohol.

Lymph glands receive & process Fatty acids, Cholesterol, Water soluble Vitamins & send them to the Liver via the blood stream.

Liver additionally receives & processes AA, sugars, Vitamin C, B, Fe, Ca, Mg, through the blood stream to store up for future use.

Large Intestines receive indigestible fiber, lots of dead cells, water & some live bacteria.

Colon hosts permanent colonies of good micro-organisms which manufacture & absorb Vitamin B12, Vitamin K. The remaining water is absorbed here too. The breakdown of fiber & AA gives off Nitrogen gas, the cause for farts.

GLANDS – Organs that secrete chemical substances called Hormones which change the function of other body parts.

Sex Glands – Female hormone Estrogen deposits fatty tissues on hips. Progesterone prepares for pregnancy. Male hormone Testosterone builds muscles & bones.

Pituitary Gland stimulates Thyroid gland to control Catabolism.

Adrenal glands secrete Adrenaline for fight & flight situations.

Pancreases secrete Insulin to Metabolize Carbs.

 

VITAMINS & MINERALS

 

Vitamins & minerals are organic substances that regulate variety of body functions & assist in the Metabolism process.

Fat soluble Vitamins – A, D, E, K.

Water soluble Vitamins – C, B1, B2, B6, B12, Niacin, Biotin, Pantothenic acid.

Vitamin A – Preformed Retinoids, Body makes Carotenoids compounds, are moisturizing nutrients. Mucous membranes, eyes, reproductive.

Vitamin D – Calciferol found in animal foods, Cholecalciferol from UV rays on skin, Ergocalciferol from sunshine plants.

Vitamin E – Tocopherols & Tocotrienols found in vegetable fats, nuts. They are anticoagulants & antioxidants, good for reproduction system, nerves, muscles.

Vitamin K – Prothrombin protein for blood clotting, Plasma.

Vitamin C – Ascorbic acid is high in antioxidants for nerves & Immune system.

Vitamin B1 – Thiamin is a coenzyme for Carbs metabolism.

Vitamin B2 – Riboflavin, moisturizer for tissues.

Vitamin B6 - Pyridoxine removes Homocysteine from blood & metabolism.

VitaminB12 – Cyanocobalamin for red cells, protects myelin on nerves. Manufactured in small intestines.

Niacin – Metabolism, growth, Oxygen flow, converts AA into Tryptophane.

Folate – Metabolism, growth, synthesis of DNA.

Biotin – Metabolism, growth, Carbon & oxygen atom between cells.

Pantothenic acid – Hemoglobin, Immune system & stabilize blood sugars.

 

MINERALS - are inorganic substances composed of only one kind of Atom.

Body stores up to 5g of each & requires 100mg/day of each.

Major minerals – Na, Ca, Mg, Cl, K, S, P.

Trace minerals – Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Mo, Ch, Iodine, Selenium, Fluoride.

 

OSMOSIS – Water flowing through a semi permeable membrane of cells.

Water has a mind of its own & it flows from less dense to more dense areas to equalize the density on both sides of the cell walls.

The Potassium – Sodium pump helps maintains the fluid balance through electrolytes. The ratio stands as 4 times Potassium inside the cell to 1 time Sodium outside the cell walls.

Potassium - It functions as an electrolyte, maintains fluid balance, nerve signals & muscle contractions.

Sodium – It functions as an electrolyte to maintain nerves, muscles & fluid balance in the blood & around the cells.

Calcium – Fluid balance of cells, muscles & nerve messages.

Phosphorous – Metabolism, pH balance in blood, protects myelin on nerves.

Magnesium – Bones, nutrient movement, messages, genetic code transmission, part of Chlorophyll.

Iron - Hemoglobin & myoglobin proteins, muscles. Plant Iron Phytates must be split by tomatoes for absorption in the body.

Iodine – Part of Thyroxine, metabolism, prepare for reproduction.

Zinc – Part of Insulin, Testosterone, Immune system, brain.

Fluoride – Stored in bones & teeth.

Copper – Antioxidant to deactivate free Radicals, hair, bones, nerves.

Selenium – Antioxidant, cancer prevention.

Manganese – Metabolism, reproduction.

Chromium – Metabolism, pancreas.

Molybdenum – Metabolism, proteins.


MOOD & FOOD RELATIONSHIP

The four shades of moods are LOVE, HAPPINESS, SADNESS & GRIEF.

Our moods are dependent on specific chemicals that reach the brain cells to trigger such mood swings.

AA Tyrosine makes other AA like Dopamine & Norepinephrine which has the effect of being energized & alertness.

AA Tryptophane makes AA Serotonin which has the effect of being smooth & mellow. To move these high-speed trains into the brain we need Glucose to open the train tracks. Milk & cookies is a good combo for the above moods.

The top most mood of Love releases AA Phenylethylamine into the system.  

The emotion of GRIEF will generate harmful Catecholamine & Cortisol hormones which affect the Immune system. Low levels of Estrogen contribute to negative emotions too. Missing someone who is already dead causes INSOMNIA. The frustration of being without that person keeps you awake at night.
