Athletes often overlook the energy demands of daily training sessions. Total calories required are considerably increased for the training and competing athlete versus the average person, but it should be done in the proper % to total daily intake. If sufficient calories are not included in the diet, an athlete will lose to much weight, become fatigued more quickly and performance will

Celiac disease is a fairly common disease but is not very well known. Celiac disease, or celiac sprue, is a digestive condition triggered by consumption of the protein gluten (Hill, Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of celiac disease in children, 2011). Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and oats. People with celiac disease who eat foods containing gluten experience an immune reaction in their small intestines, causing damage to the inner surface of the small intestine and an inability to absorb certain nutrients (Hill, Clinical manifestations and diagnosis of celiac disease in children, 2011).

The influences of underlying health conditions can result in the need for specific nutrients as well as influencing what people are or aren’t able to eat.

Features at part (a) above and other features to be mentioned later may be found on this page/section including the following:

Celiac disease is primarily a digestive condition triggered by consumption of the protein gluten resulting in an immune reaction in the small intestine, which leads to inability to absorb certain

Because the body immune system response to gluten, the body lack of the capacity of breaking up the gluten protein’s chemical bonds, therefore, the inappropriate digestion of it. Gluten reaches the small intestine in still bound proteins, the amino acid chains are still present, thus damaging the villi of the small intestine and not allowing the absorption of the amino acids. The damage caused by the inappropriately processed gluten also affects the absorption of other nutrients; therefore it creates a chain reaction of other health issues. On the other hand, with gluten intolerance or sensitivity the effects are not as serious as with celiac disease. Gluten intolerance does not cause damage to the small intestine as celiac disease does. Although there is also some malabsorption of nutrients because of the indigestion it causes. Celiac disease and gluten intolerance share symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, cramps, and

Celiac Disease is a disease in which the small intestine is hypersensitive to gluten, leading to difficulty in digesting food. Celiac disease cannot be caught like a sickness. You can get celiac disease from a number is reason. The precise reasoning for developing this disease is not confirmed nor confined to a particular age range or gender, although more women are diagnosed than men.Celiac disease is now recognized as one of the most common chronic diseases in the world.

Celiac is a very common disease with some people that can’t eat certain kind of food that has gluten, because it will damage their small intestine.The villi flatten out and the intestinal lining becomes damaged. It decreases the area that can absorb vitamins. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. It's important to get treatment, because celiac disease ,can Lead to anemia, osteoporosis and Raise your risk of lymphoma.

A person’s daily energy requirement, expressed as caloric intake, varies with the daily activity of this person. An Olympic athlete can have 4 times the daily calorie intake of a non-athlete. It all depends on the daily activity or energy expenditure of the person. The human body uses glucose, protein, carbon hydrates and fats as fuel (human physiology book). Even though each organ of the human body has a unique metabolic profile, the major fuel components are glucose and fats. These fuels are consumed as food and digested into smaller molecules and are then used for energy or stored in case of abundant energy.

Some may not have symptoms, however, the gluten may still be damaging to their intestines. Overtime it may lead to serious complications such as small intestinal cancer (Nutrition and Healthy Eating, 2014). According to the Harvard Health Letter, even a crumb of food with the gluten protein can cause sever indigestion and diarrhea, which may be so severe it can cause life-threatening dehydration (p. 1).

Food is a very important trait of living. It is the first of the essentials of life, our biggest industry, our greatest export, our most frequently indulged pleasure, and also the object of considerable concern and dread

Most absorption of nutrients occurs in the small intestine. The mucosa of the small intestine is arranged in microscopic folds, which in turn contain even smaller finger-like projections called villi. The cells of the villi are covered with microscopic hairs, microvilli, projecting from the cell membrane. The folds, villi, and microvilli of the intestinal mucosa provide a huge surface area for nutrient absorption. Cells of the intestines are specialized to absorb different nutrients. Readily digested nutrients are

Carbohydrate in the form of glucose is the main ingredient that provides the energy and fuel during exercise. Glucose is stored in the muscles as glycogen which is used as the body exercises to refuel. Muscles are the storage areas for the glycogen and these need to be continually refilled as we use energy. Adequate carbohydrate is necessary for the body during exercise as an insufficient amount may lead to fatigue of the muscles. Some foods that contain a rich amount of carbohydrate are pasta, rice, bread, fruits and vegetables.

Food? What is its purpose in society’s world? Is it too only survive? Food has many effects in this world from helping cope with grief, to helping you deal with stress, but eating may also be detrimental. With many food related diseases out there you just need to have a sort of balance in your life.

Celiac disease is the most common genetic autoimmune disease on the planet. This means you cannot grow out of this disease. Celiac disease is projected to affect at least 1% of the population in the world. Celiac Disease is a reaction to eating gluten; gluten is a protein found in various foods including: wheat, rye, and barley and is also found in foods such as bread, pasta, cookies, and cakes. Many products like, lip balms and lipsticks, hair and skin products, toothpastes, vitamin and nutrient medicines, have gluten in them. Over a period of time, the immune reaction to eating gluten creates inflammation that damages the lining of the small intestine. Villi absorb vitamins, sugars, and other nutrients as food comes through the small intestine. When a person with celiac disease eats gluten, the villi become flat and the lining in the small intestine becomes damaged. This can cause the body to not absorb some nutrients.
