Nutrition
(1.1) David is a 15 year old boy, he is very active and participates in a lot of sporting activities. David needs to ensure he has a balanced diet and for this to occur he will require an intake of various nutrients via both diet and fluids. If David does not consume a balanced diet he will become unhealthy or may acquire various deficiencies. Without nutrition David would eventually die. Nutrients will allow Davids body to function properly - to move, grow, respire,reproduce, excrete and for his senses (irritability) to work.

The need for movement is to ensure Davids muscles and joints work and do in fact move properly, his muscles will be able to contract and detract and this will enable his joints to move.
Davids growth is not just limited to his height and/or weight, he also need the cells within his body to divide, accumulate and expand appropriately. Muscles, bones and vital organs will continue to grow as he does.
Respiration will play an important part of Davids life, this will mainly be a subconscious process that he may take for granted, until possibly, a lack of nutrients cause his breathing to become troubled. Nutrients are required for respiration so that food that he has ingested can be converted into energy in the form of glucose. Glucose mixed with oxygen is what he will inhale via his breathing therefore exhaling carbon dioxide and water.

  • The Nurture Theory: The Story Of Serial Killers

    980 Words  | 4 Pages

    The FBI defines serial killing as "a series of three or more murders, committed as separate events, usually, but not always, by one offender acting alone". The “separate events” part is what makes serial killing different than spree killing and mass killing. Another thing that makes serial killers stand out is that they often demonstrate specific patterns that can be easily identified by police investigators. It was often debated that those patterns are products of either their genetics, or their environment. We now know that both are important to the development of all people, so now people argue which one is more important, especially when it comes to serial killers.

    Increased malnutrition is caused by poor diversification of diets such as relying too much on starchy staples. Thus, the consumption of a variety of foods is important for positive health. Malnutrition can be reduced by the consumption of diets having animal sources, vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables as well as nutrient-rich legumes (Arimond and Ruel, 2004; Thompson and Amoroso, 2011). According to the FAO, IFAD and WFP, (2015) about 800 million people do not have sufficient access to calories. A low intake of vitamins and minerals causes about 2 billion people all over the world to suffer from micronutrient malnutrition (IFPRI, 2014).
