There are four structural levels of the body. Cells‚ tissues‚ organs and organ system. Cells are the basic structure and make up tissues. Two or more tissues make up the organs and the organ system are 2 or more organs that function together. One of the main health benefits of exercising is that it helps normalize the glucose‚ leptin‚ insulin levels by increasing insulin/leptin receptor sensitivity. This optimizes our overall health and prevents chronic diseases. Exercising has the capability to

LITERATURE REVIEW INTRODUCTION OF ENZYMES Enzymes are complex proteins that cause a specific chemical change in all parts of the body (David C. Dugdale‚ 2011). When we understand enzymes we understand cells (Marshall Brian‚ 2001). In many organisms most chemical reactions are catalyzed -when a substance speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction- by enzymes. Each enzyme controls a certain function that happens in a cell. Still each one has its own process and rate that it converts molecules. Studying

Managing diabetes and prediabetes is challenging‚ especially when those around you of skills were not given the proper form to assist themselves or others concerning the nutritional and the process of digestion. Society has conveyed a false advertisement about the diabetic community. Grouping all diabetics‚ type 1‚ and type 2‚ is not the way these diseases should be represented. According to the ADA ( American Diabetes Association)

intestinal lining. 2. Protein - Foods such as meat‚ eggs‚ and beans consist of giant molecules of protein that must be digested by enzymes before they can be used to build and repair body tissues. An enzyme in the juice of the stomach starts the digestion of swallowed protein. Then in the small intestine‚ several enzymes from the pancreatic juice and the lining of the intestine complete the breakdown of huge protein molecules into small molecules called amino acids. These small molecules can be absorbed

“The Difference between the Human Digestive System & the Digestive System of a Cow” Digestion is the mechanical and chemical breaking down of food into smaller components‚ to a form that can be absorbed‚ for instance‚ into a blood stream. Digestion is a form of catabolism; a break-down of macro food molecules to smaller ones. Digestion begins in the mouth‚ for a cow the teeth structure is very different from humans. Instead of having two rows of sharp incisors‚ cows have a single‚ bottom row

The proteins will be flushed out of the body quicker than usual with the high vulnerability of malabsorption. Pepsin begins the enzymatic digestion of the ingested proteins; they linger in the stomach longer than most of the ingested food and the end result of gastric protein digestion is a chyme of mostly polypeptides and some free amino acids to be absorbed in to the body
