Provide a 14 pages analysis while answering the following question: An Increase in the Requirement of Nutrients. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Proteins are generally required for growth and maintenance of body weight in humans and they are made up of a simple chemical substance called amino acids, which in turn can be classified as essential and non-essential amino acids. Essential amino acids are those that can only be derived from the diet and non-essential are those that can be synthesized in the body. The essential amino acid contents differ from one protein to another. Hence the nutritional value of dietary foods proteins depends on their essential amino acid content. All protein-rich foods like milk, eggs, cereals, fish, etc may be rich in only certain essential amino acids. Hence in order to gain all the essential amino acids, a balanced diet of the protein foods is needed. In the case of vegetarians, balanced use of all the cereals is required to gain all the essential amino acids. If any cereal is eliminated in particular it might result in a deficient supply of the essential amino acids present in it, thereby leading to protein deficiency.
2. a. i) The brain requires a readily available form of sugar and starch would provide the readily required glucose. The mean protein requirement is about 70 g/ day for an adult. The amount of cellulosic fibers required is about 40 g. these are indigestible polysaccharides which do not actually supple calories but they help by delaying the passage of food through the GI tract, stimulate intestinal peristalsis and help prevent constipation. The saturated fat consumption could be lesser when compared to the unsaturated fat content as the dietary fat intake should ideally not be more than 80 g/day. Calcium intake is ideal.
ii) Fat content in the diet should generally be less especially in the case of sedentary and obese people. An increase in fat content, especially saturated fat, may lead to an increase in serum cholesterol levels and thereby fat deposition in arteries resulting in atherosclerotic conditions. The type of fat taken in the diet should also .be considered.
