Carbohydrate Counting When you eat a healthy meal or snack‚ it is usually a mixture of carbohydrate‚ pro- tein‚ and fat. However‚ your body changes carbohydrate into glucose faster than it changes protein and fat into glucose. It is the carbohydrate that makes your blood glucose level go up. In carbohydrate counting‚ you count foods that are mostly carbohydrate. These include starches (breads‚

recreation applications. A fiber is a hair-like strand of material. “They are the smallest visible unit of a fabric and are denoted by being extremely long in relation to their width. Synthetic fibers are man made from chemicals. They are generally based on polymers and are stronger than natural and regenerated fibers. Synthetic fibers are the result of extensive research by scientists to improve on naturally occurring animal and plant fibers” (NSP). In its physical form synthetic fibers are widely available

Carbohydrate and Diabetes Research NUR 115 AM The articles that I researched for this project were interesting and shed light on the relationship between carbohydrates and diabetes. Some of the information that I learned will be useful in my nursing career. Carbohydrates fill numerous roles in living things‚ such as the storage and transport of energy in the form of starch and glycogen etc. The basic carbohydrate units are called monosaccharides‚ such as glucose‚ galactose‚ and

You have to have enough carbs.” Find out if Janine is right. How does the nervous system use glucose? . Janine also said: “If you eat way too much protein and not enough carbs you can ruin your kidneys forever because of all the nitrogen you have to process breaking down the protein.” Find out if Janine is right about

agrees to make periodic payment to the other for an agreed period of time based upon a notional amount of principal. The principal amount is notional because there is no need to exchange actual amounts of principal in a single currency transaction: there is no foreign exchange component to be taken account of. Equally‚ however‚ a notional amount of principal is required in order to compute the actual cash amounts that will be periodically exchanged. FEATURES: Interest Rate Swap Situation A bank

"A carbon fiber is a long‚ thin strand of material about 0.005-0.010 mm in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. The carbon atoms are bonded together in microscopic crystals that are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber. The crystal alignment makes the fiber incredibly strong for its size. Several thousand carbon fibers are twisted together to form a yarn‚ which may be used by itself or woven into a fabric. The yarn or fabric is combined with epoxy and wound or molded

Discovered in 1838‚ proteins are recognized as a large number of superior organic compounds that make up living organisms and are essential for their functioning. In other words proteins are the building blocks of life. They do many tasks for the human body and other organisms‚ that could not be done individually. These macromolecules could function as structural proteins and form structures such as keratin in hair‚ teeth‚ bones‚ muscles‚ collagen in connective tissues‚ horns in animals
