If we Are what We Eat, How Have Decreases in Nutritional Densities of Food Affected Health?
Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Since 1950, the overall nutritional density of crops has significantly decreased. Variations in minerals and vitamins can be directly attributed to: increased productivity = decreased nutritional values, increased soil use without fertilizers = less fertile soils, and choice of cultivars. This change in nutritional density means that in order to get more nutrients from what we eat means we need to eat more, make changes in agricultural practices, and/or adapt a supplement program that insures delivery of active ingredients. History: In 1992, we began looking at the nutritional requirements of coral and the importance of the presence of nutrients.From coral nutritional data collected over twenty years it was found that these findings applied also to plants, aquatic and land animals and can determine transfer mechanisms and interactions of pH and thermal thresholds. These laboratory studies led to conclusive findings that principles of cellular absorption and metabolism of nutrients with merit more broadly to plant, animal, coral and fish applications. As it turns out the availability of nutrients within a solution is directly related to the health of coral species. Coral growth can be increased by changing nutrients that are essential for promoting growth. The same can be said for human nutrition and human metabolism being related to the presence of nutrients that are easily absorbed as in the case of the aqueous osmotic absorption for corals these nutrients that can be more cell available. For the human cells, increases in nutritional solution density allows for improved adsorption, better growth, better metabolism and overall better health for the cell Improved Active Ingredient Delivery Recent independent mouse studies conducted at GVK Laboratories in Hyderabad India showed that adding an organic natural adjuvant to the food can allow for up to 10 fold increased absorption of Vitamin D3 as an active ingredient. By increasing the availability of important nutrients both wastes of non-metabolized active ingredients and improving the important active ingredient delivery can help for maintenance of metabolism. As our average age increases the dependency upon nutritional supplements increases. It is important to ensure appropriate vitamin and mineral formulations address active ingredients uptake and that public awareness needs to be forthright in this process.
