If you want to be sure that your steps are correct, ask for guidance from family and friends or join a support forum.

FAQ

What's the difference between a virus & a bacterium?

A virus, a microscopic organism that can not reproduce outside of its host cells, is called a virus. A bacterium is an organism that splits itself in two. Viruses measure only 20 nanometers in diameter, but bacteria is up to 1 millimeter in size.

Viruses spread easily through contact with bodily fluids infected, including saliva and urine, semen, vaginal secretions or pus. Bacteria is usually spread directly from surfaces or objects contaminated with bacteria.

Viral infections can also be introduced to our bodies by a variety of cuts, scrapes or bites. They can also enter the body through the nose and mouth, eyes, ears or rectum.

Bacteria can enter the body through cuts, scrapes burns and other injuries to the skin. They may also be introduced into our bodies through food and water as well as soil, dirt, dust, and animals.

Both bacteria and viruses cause illness. But viruses do not have the ability to multiply within their hosts. They only infect living tissues when they cause illness.

Bacteria can cause illness by multiplying in the body. They can infiltrate other parts of the body. That's why we need antibiotics to kill them.


What is the problem in BMI?

BMI stands to Body Mass Index. This refers to the measurement of body weight based on height. This formula calculates BMI.

The weight of a kilogram divided by its squared height in meters.

The score is expressed as a number between 0 and 25. Scores of 18.5 and higher indicate overweight, while scores of 23 and higher indicate obesity.

A person with 100 kg will have a BMI 22 if they are 1.75m tall and weigh 100 kg.

What does the term "vitamins" mean?

Vitamins are organic compounds naturally found in food. Vitamins are essential for our bodies to absorb nutrients from the foods we eat. Vitamins cannot come from the body so food must provide them.

There are two types of vitamins: water soluble and fat soluble. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water easily. Examples include vitamin C,B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B6 (pyridoxine), folic acid, biotin, pantothenic acid, and choline. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored within the liver and in fatty tissue. Examples include vitamin D, E, K, A, and beta carotene.

Vitamins can be classified according to biological activity. There are eight major vitamin groups:

  • A - Vital for healthy growth.
  • C – essential for proper nerve function.
  • D - Vital for healthy bones and teeth
  • E - Required for good vision, reproduction.
  • K - Required for healthy nerves and muscles.
  • P – Vital for building strong bones.
  • Q - aids digestion, absorption and absorption iron
  • R - Red blood cells are made from red blood cells.

The recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamins varies depending on age, gender, and physical condition. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration sets RDA values.

For adults aged 19 or older, the RDA of vitamin A is 400mg per day. Because it is essential for the development of the fetus, pregnant women should consume 600 micrograms per days. Children ages 1-8 require 900 micrograms per day. Children under 1 year old require 700 micrograms daily, while infants over one year old need 500 micrograms every day. This decreases between 9 and 12 months.

Children between the ages of 1-18 need 800 micrograms per daily for obesity, while those overweight require 1000 micrograms. To meet their nutritional needs, children underweight and obese need 1200micrograms.

Children 4-8 years old with anemia will need 2200 mg of vitamin D daily.

2000 micrograms per person is necessary for general health. Breastfeeding or pregnant women require 3000 micrograms per daily due to higher nutrient demands.

Adults over 70 years of age need 1500 micrograms per day since they lose about 10% of their muscle mass each decade.

Women who are pregnant, nursing or breastfeeding need more than the RDA. Pregnant woman need 4000 micrograms daily in pregnancy and 2500 per day after childbirth. Breastfeeding mothers need to consume 5000 micrograms each day when breastmilk has been produced.
