What are the ingredients in corona beer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

All natural ingredients: water, barley, hops & yeast- one of the few beers that doesn't have rice in it.

-To correct the above answer, there are tons of craft beer and imports that do not use rice or corn as adjuncts in their beer. If you are looking at Bud, Miller, or Coors, they use either rice or corn as additives to lighten the mouthfeel of the beer. However I was always under the impression that Corona contained corn as an adjunct instead of rice. If you are seeking the ingredients to corona because of the unique flavor, what you are tasting is lightstruck beer. The clear bottle offers no protection from sunlight which reacts with the hops in the beer to produce a chemical that is the same as what a skunk squirts. This is the true definition of where "skunky" beer comes from. It's not old or stale beer, but beer that has become lightstruck. If you don't believe me, stick a bottle of corona in direct sunlight for few minutes, pour in a glass then sniff. Next, take a bottle that has been protected from the light and pour in a class and sniff, then compare. Enjoy!

What does a nutritionist do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Daily activities in the nutrition field vary quite a bit and that all depends on your area of expertise and where you work. There are really about 4 main categories of nutritionists: Clinical Nutritionists, Community Nutritionist, Management, and Consulting Nutritionists. and these Nutritionists work in Hospitals, Community clinics, Schools, Hotels or resorts, government agencies, sport clinics. and the list goes on and on.

Good traits of a nutritionist are enjoying what you do first off. If you feel personally rewarded by helping others you are on the right track. You want to be well informed on nutrition and be confident and reassuring. You will need good people skills because you might be working one on one with a patient.

To get the knowledge you need to be a well informed up to date nutritionist or dietitian you will need good schooling. You might want to start with a degree in nutritional science. There are many schools that offer this degree. There are also online schools that offer this degree such as Kaplan College. That is where i got my bachelors in Nutrition Science and really helped launch my career.

If you do decide to further your career and become a registered dietitian you will need to follow the ADA requirements to get this title.
A nutritionist advises a person on the nutritional value of foods which allows them to make better choices of food.

What do meat milk and egg in our diet?

To answer simply, eggs and milk are both great protein sources. An average size egg contains about 6g of protein (12%), whilst a glass of milk contains about 8g of protein (3.5%). The protein is also high quality & is easily broken down by the body into usable amino acids. If someone does not eat meat (e.g. Vegetarians) they will need a good protein alternative; milk & eggs is one good source.

Is it better to go walking before you eat or after you eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For light exercise such as walking, it really shouldn't matter. Being completely starved when walking isn't much fun at all, but assuming you're well energized, walking before isn't going to create any problems. Unless you happen to consume a huge meal, it's unlikely you'll cramp doing something as light as walking, so walking after isn't a problem either. I'm sure some arguments about metabolism and weight loss will be made, but overall, it's just good to be somewhat active, whether or not it's the most perfectly optimum calorie burning activity.
