What food has the highest biological value and is often used as a reference protein?
The building blocks of protein are amino acids. Each protein has its own specific number and sequence of amino acids. Amino acids can be classified as either essential or non-essential. Non-essential amino acids can be produced in the body from other proteins or carbohydrates. Essential amino acids, however, cannot be produced during metabolism by the body and therefore must be provided by our diet. Eight amino acids (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine, Threonine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Tryptophan and Lysine) are considered essential for adults, while nine (those mentioned above plus Histidine) are considered essential for children. When a protein contains the essential amino acids in a proportion similar to that required by humans, we say that it has high biological value. When one or more essential amino acids are scarce, the protein is said to have low biological value. The amino acid that is in shortest supply in relation to need is termed the limiting amino acid. The limiting amino acid tends to be different in different proteins, so when two foods providing vegetable protein are eaten at a meal, such as a cereal (e.g. bread) and a pulse (e.g. baked beans), the amino acids of one protein may compensate for the limitations of the other, resulting in a combination of higher biological value. High biological value proteins are provided by animal sources of protein, such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, cheese and yogurt. Low biological value proteins are found in plants, legumes, grains, nuts, seeds and vegetables.
What are complementary proteins?
A strategy that combines plant proteins in the same day to improve the balance of essential amino acids
What is bone meal?
Bone meal is sterilised bones ground up to a fine powder and used as a gardening fertiliser.
When your blood sugar is high is it normal to feel cold?
Your blood sugar is usually elevated after a meal--especially one loaded in carbohydrates. Something else also happens after a meal. Your blood flow is shunted to the celiac and mesenteric arteries in the gut to digest the meal. This shunting pulls blood away from the peripheral circulation in the skin to leave you feeling colder. You can combat the sharp blood sugar elevation after a meal by eating more protein and less carbs, but the sensation of coolness after a meal will likely persist. A smaller meal though would lead to a lesser effect.
Which hormone level increases immediately after a meal?
Food has sugars and other minerals. Excess of Sugar shall increase diabetes. So to control this sugar immediately after a meal insulin is secreted. This is why people who have less insulin inject it right after a meal.
Why dopamine precursors have to be given 45 minutes before taking any meal that is rich in protein or amino acid?
to inhibit GIT absorption of L-dopa (dopamine precursor) and to allow its passage to CNS.
Is acid before meal acid or base or neutral?
get a life you science nerd
What is the main purpose of proteins in healthy eating?
To get the small amount of each amino-acid needed with each meal for proteins to me made in your body (Note: Proteins from food CANNOT be used by your body directly they are always broken down into animo-acids first). The most important amino-acids are termed essential because you cannot synthesize them yourself if needed however it is best if you have a balance of every amino-acid with each meal as synthesizing amino-acids takes energy. Amino-acids are not stored (except as protein which isn't broken down except for recycling when not needed or as a last resort during starvation) which is why you must get sufficient amounts amino-acids with each meal in order to be healthy. However please note that a normal adult (children need more as do adults putting on a lot of muscle which is protein) doesn't need much protein each day (a glass of milk will suffice by itself (but 1/3 at each meal as above)) in order to get the amino-acids he or she needs. Any excess amino-acids are used to generate energy and any excess energy is stored as fat. Protein contains nitrogen and this it is nitrogen from excess dietary protein that is excreted in urine (or nitrogen from body protein broken down for energy during starvation).
How does diet determine the proportion of amino acids taken in during a meal?
amino acid intake allows for cellular repair all throughout the body. without a correct cellular quantity of cells through out the body, a person could experiece breathing loss or uncontrolled soluble indigestion. amino acid intake allows for cellular repair all throughout the body. without a correct cellular quantity of cells through out the body, a person could experiece breathing loss or uncontrolled soluble indigestion.
Is saliva before meal acid or base or neutral?
base
A word of praise is to a delicious meal as a conditioned reinforcer is to _____.?
a primary reinforcer
Should you use bone meal around azaleas?
Azaleas like acid soil if you use bone meal it takes the acid out of the soil because it has a alkaline reaction in the soil. Don't not use for Azaleas.
What hormone has primary responsibility for lowering blood glucose levels after a meal?
insulin
What is the primary mineral found in bone meal fertilizer?
The primary mineral found in bone meal fertilizer is calcium since it is made from the dried bones of animals. Other common ingredients include sodium, iron and copper.
Is NaCl a acid or base?
It is neither a base nor an acid but a salt.It is the common salt we take with our meal.
Where can I get information about an effective acid reflux disease diet?
Check out www.acidreflux.com for low acid meal planner. If that doesnt work consult your doctor.
What is protein mutual supplementation?
Mutual supplementation is where you combine foods in a meal (e.g., complementary amino acid combinations) so that all essential acids are supplied in the required amounts to support health.
