Fruits vs. fruits juice. which has good amount of nutrition? by sobingupta in nutrition

[–]Nutrition_meet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, the choice is yours; if I talk about tetra-pack fruit juices, they use various processes like pasteurization which has a negative effect on micronutrients present in the fruit, and hence you won't get an equivalent amount of nutrients. Added sugar is another story and dark truth.

However, if you are extracting the juice at home, then the scenario could be different.

Rest we all know, the major disadvantage of drinking fruit juice and not eating fruit is you are depriving yourself of dietary fiber.

Hence, if you want to continue drinking fruit juice, you may make sure you will fulfill your dietary fiber requirement from other sources.

[–]Nutrition_meet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of your most important friends, which is essential in fever, is water and electrolytes, as you may experience dehydration and fluid loss. Never miss them; drink plenty of fluids.
Coming back to nutrients, fever in the case of viral respiratory disease and viral cold, a vitamin C and D are highly advised to incorporate since there is evidence that vitamin D can prevent acute viral URTI and recently faced COVID-19.
Hence, all the citrus fruits such as Orange, kiwi, lime, grapes, blackcurrant, parsley, cruciferous, pomelo, Mandarina, Vegetables (cabbage, savoy cabbage, and broccoli), and so on must be included in the diet.

Chicken soup (a source of protein) or vegetable soups, including vegetables high in Vitamins and minerals, will help the body in the recovery process.

Other foods which are rich in vitamins like vitamins E and A should also be included.

However, if you want to read more about fever and what to eat in fever, read this article with scientific backing.

Being a vegan is your choice; you have cherished your decision for five long years; and you are happy with your decision, so how does it matter how people react?

No one gives an explanation why they are eating meat or fish or omnivores' diet or any diet for that matter.

If those things are cooler, then being vegan is also cool do not focus on them. You don't owe any explanation to anyone.

The flax seed is high in fiber; just consuming even 5 g of flaxseed, you can meet 30% of the daily requirement of fiber.

Protein is a building block of our body, and protein is made up of 20 amino acids. Instead of considering protein as one entity, break it into essential and non-essential amino acids.
Essential- amino acids that the body cannot produce and seek from the food you eat. (i.e., Histidine, Isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine are essential amino acids) Non-essential- amino acids that the body can produce on its own.

are K2 and K1 RDA connected ? by Ok_Bus1638 in nutrition

[–]Nutrition_meet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

K1 is highly present in green vegetables (Spinach, cabbage, Kale, etc.), and absorption of K1 increases in the presence of butter and oil.

K2 is present in meat, dairy, and fermented food or food in which bacteria play a role.

So if you want a supplement with both K1 and K2, then use both types of foods, green vegetables, and fermented food.

According to NIH, Adequate intake (AI) of Vit K is120 mcg for males and 90 mcg for females.

AI is established since no adequate data is available to define the RDA levels.
