Soluble Fiber
Opening:
Fiber helps keep the baby's bowel at regular intervals and keeps the baby feeling full between meals. However, high fiber foods are not the best dish on the menu, so many children do not get as much as they need. Parents can help increase the amount of fiber in the baby's diet by adding a variety of fiber-rich foods and sneaking into the fibers.

Body:
≠ Recommendations
The amount of fiber your child needs depends on his or her age. Toddlers aged 1 to 3 need about 19 grams a day. Kids 4 to 8 need 25 grams a day.

    The first half of module seven discussed protein digestion, absorption, and metabolism; while the second half focused on pathological stress and kidney disease. Protein digestion occurs in the stomach and small intestine. When a protein reaches the stomach it is denatured by hydrochloric acid. Once the protein is digested pepsin breaks apart the denatured protein into peptides. Peptides move into the small intestine where they encounter an enzyme that digest the peptides into di- or tripeptides, then into single amino acids. Once the protein is digested into single amino acid groups, then the amino acids can be absorbed into the intestinal epithelial cells. The amino acids are moved from the intestinal epithelial cells into the capillaries of the intestinal villi. From the capillaries of the intestinal villi,…

Saturated fat raises both bad cholesterol and good cholesterol, while trans-fat only raises bad cholesterol. This makes trans fats technically worse than saturated fats. The better fats would be monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. Monounsaturated will lower your cholesterol, and unlike polyunsaturated they do not lower your good cholesterol. Your best fats would be the omega-3s (fish oil). This fat has shown to protect people from sudden cardiac death (Schardt,2002).…

    One of the most widespread of the reform movements was the temperance movement, which called for reducing the use of ,or abstaining from, any alcoholic beverages. This particular movement came about specifically because the Second Great Awakening religious reformers called for individuals to lead “clean” lives and the movement gained movement across the country. Unfortunately the movement was somewhat unsuccessful. American reformers also sought to implement school reform. Before the early 1800s, education for most Americans was very basic. For most, this meant a few months of schooling a year in a one-room rural schoolhouse. The wealthy engaged private tutors and academies.
