  4. Tryptophan
  5. Valine Absorption - ANSThe transfer of nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract into the blood stream which is then circulated through the body Amylase - ANSA carbohydrate digesting enzyme that the salivary glands secrete antioxidant definition - ANSa substance that inhibits oxidation or reactions promoted by oxygen, peroxides, or free radicals e.g (vitamin A C and E ) (mineral zinc and selenium) Helps repair damage from free radicals we have free radicals internally as well that are released under acute stress Antioxidants list - ANSVitamin A Vitamin C Vitamin E Beta - carotene Bioflavonoids Zinc Selenium

rich in fibre feed good bacteria in intestinal tract Carbohydrates 1g= chemical compound - ANS4 calories CHO Chelation - ANSChelation agents including (HA) bind to minerals and transport them from the soil to the plant Chemical fertilizers - ANSdissolve in water immune system compromised (relying on artificial elements) then requiring use of pesticides; dependency created Complete proteins: animal sourced (6) - ANSPoultry Fish Eggs Beef Wild Game Dairy Products Complete proteins: Plant sourced (10) - ANSHemp seeds Cia seeds buckwheat tempeh lentils chlorella an spirulina avocado quinoa

goji berries nutritional yeast Complete proteins= or food pairing are complete when... - ANSall essential amino acids are present complex carbohydrates - ANSoligosaccharides (3 to 10 sugar molecules) polysaccharides (10+ sugar molecules) (starch, glycogen, cellulose) Dietary wellness: 3 and examples - ANS1) Water

  1. Macronutrients
  • Carbohydrates
  • Proteins
  • Fats
  1. Micronutrients
  • Vitamins
  • Minerals Digestion - ANSThe process of making (ingested) food absorbable by dissolving it and breaking it down into simpler chemical compounds Digestive enzymes, bile, and bicarbonate are released into... - ANSDuodenum Digestive juices is how much water - ANS95%

Fat is soluble or insoluble in water? - ANSinsoluble in water its (hydrophobic) Fibre (2) - ANScarbs we cannot digest act as prebiotics for our gut flora (healthy microbiom) fibrous proteins - ANSlong, insoluble**, structural proteins. Flaws with conventional food production - ANS- large quantities of soluble fertilizers leads to nutrient imbalances > contributing to crop diseases, insect infestations, and reducedfood quality

  • Failure to care for soil boitic life > increased dependency on synthetic inputs
  • Limited number of nutrients replenished
  • Soluble fertilizers, prone to leaching, can contribute to environmental and health hazards Foliar Fertilization - ANS-Application via spraying o nutrients to plant -typically soluble fish and seaweed naturally created nutrients, dried blood, manure, or compost

Food Pairings - ANSBrown rice + beans/nuts and seeds/peas think pad Thai or cucumber and celery Food provides (4) - ANS1) Raw materials for building blocks

  1. Fuel for energy
  2. Nutrients to create reactions
  3. Pleasure and nourishment The food choices we make affect our mood, learning, sleep, energy, development, hormones, productivity - our whole well being Functional wellness (only need to know the first 5) - ANS1) Digestion
  4. Assimilation
  5. Circulation

  7. Reproduction
  8. Sleep
  9. Hygiene Fungi (mycorrhiza) - ANSSupport plants immune system Globular proteins - ANSthese are compact, generally rounded, and soluble in water** Holism - ANSa theory that the universe and especially living nature is correctly seen in terms of interacting wholes (as of living organisms) that are more than the mere sum of elementary particles

lack of germ can lead to - ANSlack vitamins, minerals, oils, required to digest food Large intestine - ANSa.k.a the colon cecum Life cycle of soil - ANS1) Bacteria and fungi breakdown organic matter
