Persuasive Speech On Nutrition

If a person constantly eats too little proteins they can become susceptible to disease, it can cause a person to develop anemia, dry skin can develop and in women their bones can become brittle. If a person does not have enough carbohydrates in their diet they can develop malnutrition which is also called lack of calories. If a person does not have enough lipids in their diet it can also cause serious health risks. Fat provides nutrients for the body and supports the body’s basic function. Lack of this macronutrient can cause problems with a person’s immune system, skin and vision.

Morley M. Robbins is the founder of the Magnesium Advocacy Group and he believes that "Magnesium deficiency is the common thread for millions of Americans who are dealing with heart disease, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, cancer, general fatigue, and any chronic condition borne out of inflammation."

Macronutrients are an important part of your daily intake since they provide the body with calories and energy. These nutrients are needed for metabolism and growth of the body. The three macronutrients are carbohydrates, protein, and fat (McKinley Health Center, 2008). It is important to that macronutrient intake be within the recommended intake range. Having a diet that consists of too much or too little of a macronutrient could be harmful to the body. If you eat too many macronutrients, you could gain fat and if you eat too little macronutrients you could lose healthy fat, which would cause the body to break down. If you consistently eat too little protein, carbohydrates, or lipids, the body would be malnourished, which could have devastating effects on your health.

And another moral that you may learn from hemochromatosis is moderation. There is a point where a plethora of a good nutrient may actually be harmful, such in the case of hemochromatosis. However, the fact that scientists discovered an overload of iron may be dangerous could lead to new studies of nutrient overload. A rare disease known as hypervitaminosis D is caused by the toxicity of vitamin D (The Clinical Resource for Cellular Nutrition & Trace Mineral Analysis). As a future research potential, we can explore other diseases such as hemochromatosis and hypervitaminosis

Vitamin intake is a commonly overlooked necessity in basic nutritional health. What most people do not know is that certain vitamin deficiencies can cause many health risks and problems. Many people believe that are getting all the vitamins they need from their diet, however most of the time they are not. One of the most common vitamin deficiencies is the low intake of Vitamin D. There are some vitamins that are produced by the body such as vitamin K; however some of the most important vitamins are not produced by the body. Vitamin D is one of the vitamins that our body needs to function correctly that is not naturally produced by the body. Vitamin D can be consumed through

Osteoporosis affects millions of people worldwide, but the groups that are at highest risks include elderly and post-menopausal women (International Osteoporosis Foundation, 2015). As osteoporosis is associated with aging, it becomes a major health concern as the aging population will double over the next decade (Age UK, 2016). Due to that fact, there has been an increase in an interest in development of the preventive strategies for decreasing the incidence of osteoporosis. One of most important strategies is dietary intervention, as there are nutritious factors that play a key role in formation and development of the bones. Majority of the previous studies were concentrated on relationship between calcium, vitamin D and density of the bones. But recent studies have mentioned the importance of Magnesium, chemical element which plays a key role in

Iron makes part of haemoglobin and myoglobin. Deficiency of iron causes anaemia. Iodine is needed for thyroid hormone. Deficiency of iodine causes goiter, cretinism and impaired development. Universal salt fortification is recommended. Calcium is important for bone formation and prevent osteoporosis. Food source dairy leafy greenvegetables bony fish.

Also, vitamin D or magnesium deficiency is linked to hypocalcemia. Babies who have hypocalcemia may experience twitch or tremor, however, adults with hypocalcemia might experience one or more of these symptoms, muscle stiffness, muscle spasms, paresthesia, feelings of pins and needles, in the extremities, changes in mood, such as anxiety, depression, or irritability, memory issues, hypotension, difficulty of speaking or swallowing, fatigue, parkinsonism, papilledema, or swelling of the optic disc. There are also symptoms of severe hypocalcemia which are seizures, Arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, laryngospasms, or seizures of the voice box. Moreover, the symptoms of the long-term hypocalcemia include, dry skin, brittle nails, kidney stones or other calcium deposits in the body, dementia, cataracts, and

* Sugar can increase total cholesterol. * Sugar can contribute to weight gain and obesity. * High intake of sugar increases the risk of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. * Sugar can contribute to diabetes. * Sugar can contribute to osteoporosis. * Sugar can cause a decrease in insulin sensitivity. * Sugar leads to decreased glucose tolerance. * Sugar can cause cardiovascular disease. * Sugar can increase systolic blood pressure. * Sugar causes food allergies. * Sugar can cause free radical formation in the bloodstream. * Sugar can cause toxemia during pregnancy. * Sugar can contribute to eczema in children. * Sugar can overstress the pancreas, causing damage. * Sugar can cause atherosclerosis. * Sugar can compromise the lining of the capillaries. * Sugar can cause liver cells to divide, increasing the size of the liver. * Sugar can increase the amount of fat in the liver. * Sugar can increase kidney size and produce pathological changes in the kidney. * Sugar can cause depression. * Sugar can increase the body's fluid retention. * Sugar can cause hormonal imbalance. * Sugar can cause hypertension. * Sugar can cause headaches, including migraines. * Sugar can cause an increase in delta, alpha and theta brain waves, which can alter the mind's ability to think clearly. * Sugar can increase blood platelet adhesiveness which increases risk of blood clots and strokes. * Sugar

Nutritional deficiencies, known as malnutrition, are the result of your body not getting enough of the nutrients it needs.Examples such as beriberi which is a deficiency of vitamin B1 (thiamine) which is found in cereal grain husks.Beriberi is a disease whose symptoms include weight loss, body weakness and pain, brain damage, irregular heart rate, heart failure, and death if left untreated. Another deficiency disease would include scurvy, which is a deficiency in the vitamin, C. Scurvy causes lethargy, skin spots, bleeding gums, loss of teeth, fever, and death. And last, but not least, Rickets. This is caused by a lack of vitamin D or of calcium. Vitamin D is required for calcium to be properly absorbed into bones to strengthen them. Adults rarely develop rickets because their bones are not growing and do not need much calcium. Vitamin D itself is obtained from many foods but the body can only use it if it has been converted into its active form via sunlight.Rickets causes muscles and bones to become soft, which can cause permanent deformities in children. It is most common in children and infants who have a poor diet or who are housebound, but is nowadays relatively rare in developed

An imbalanced magnesium diet can result in two symptoms which are physical symptoms of overt defiance and low magnesium levels related to the spectrum of disease states. The Classic “Clinical” Symptoms are physical indications of magnesium deficiency. Such as muscle spasms, tics, cramps, anxiety seizures, and irregular heart rhythms. The “Sub-clinical” or “Latent” Symptoms are nonphysical symptoms and signs that occur without an individual knowing that it is a serious issue. This is caused by low intake of magnesium which results in migraine headaches, depression, insomnia, chronic fatigue and plenty more.

The list is likely long and laborious of all the essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients an individual needs throughout their lifetime in order to remain a functional and healthy lifeform. When an individual reaches old age, certain key nutrients stand out from amongst the rest. According to research, the effects of vitamin E and C were gaged against

Unexplained fatigue, brittle, dry hair, ridged or spoon shaped nails, mouth problems, diarrhea, irritability or lack or appetite can all indicate nutrient deficiencies

Along with the origin of our food, the type of food we eat plays a large impact on our health. For example, an excess of certain foods can lead to various problems such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Diabetes is a chronic illness that affects the production of insulin in the pancreas and the way our bodies process sugar. There are two types of diabetes, but type 2 diabetes is most commonly associated with diet because it results from being overweight. Obesity can cause our bodies to become insulin resistant, which means even though our body continues to produce insulin, our cells don’t use it like they should. Focusing on a healthy diet low in fat and high in fiber as well as living an active lifestyle can reduce our risk of developing this disease (WebMD- Type 2 Diabetes: The Basics). But diabetes isn 't the only possible result of a poor diet; heart disease can also result from poor food habits such as consuming excess sodium and fat. A diet high in saturated and trans fat also has a strong correlation with the risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack,

Iron is important as a mineral in human body (part of haemoglobin) and also part of many enzymes and proteins. Deficient amount of iron in human body will cause anaemia while excess amount of iron may cause iron poisoning or hemochromatosis. Zinc is a metal which known as essential trace element as very little amount of it is necessary for human health. Zinc is important for cellular metabolism, catalytic activity of enzyme, immune system, synthesis of protein, wound healing, cell division and DNA synthesis (Sandstead, 1994; Solomons, 1998; Prasad, 1995). However, excess amount of zinc may lead to remarkable health problems such as depressed immune system, stomach cramp, vomiting, nausea and anaemia and skin irritation.
