The latin word for it is ferrum and the symbol is Fe while its atomic number is 26. It is the most common ferromagnetic materials in our everyday use. Its pure forms of single crystals are soft and addition of smaller quantities of impurities such as carbon strengthens it. It is the most abundant element in the cores of planets such as Earth. Its pure form is rarely found on the surface of the Earth since it oxidizes readily in the presence of oxygen and moisture. Removing oxygen from ores by way of chemical reduction helps to obtain metallic iron. Nuclei of iron atoms have the second highest binding energies per nucleon. It is a necessary element used by almost all living organisms. Exceptions to these are several organisms that live in iron poor environments and use elements such as manganese instead for catalysis. Its mechanical properties and alloys are evaluated using various measurements such as Brinell test, Rockwell test etc. Research purpose pure single crystals of the same are softer than aluminium while only addition of 10 parts per million of carbon doubles its strength.Iron]]> oxygen]]> aluminium]]> iron oxide mineral.]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Most-Information-About-Iron/868490 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 02:58:02 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Most-Information-About-Iron/868490 Americans had spent around dollar fourteen billion on vitamins, herbal remedies, dietary supplements and minerals in the year 1998. The Chinese herbal medicine made from the leaves of the ginkgo biloba plant sold millions of their products in America and claimed that their products enhance metal performance. They also say that their product improves memory and concentration. Still the scientific evidence is not as clear whether it can boost mental powers or not. For example, Pharmaton Natural Health Products sell supplements called Ginkoba. They say that their supplement can improve memory and concentration. It also gives a detailed scientific proof which highlights seventeen studies published in scientific journals along with the product. Most of these scientific studies said that it works on older people while six studies said that it is effective on young and healthy people. Then a research was carried out under which people who were under the age 40 were given the doses of the medicine and then their mental performance was tested. Some studies were carried out to test short term memory improvements while some studies were carried out to test overall memory sharpness.Ginkgo biloba]]> brain]]> health care professional.]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Most-Information-About-Ginkgo-Biloba-And-Memory/868486 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 02:56:45 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Most-Information-About-Ginkgo-Biloba-And-Memory/868486 Cod liver oil, derived from liver of cod fish, serves as a nutritional supplement and contains high levels of omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) along with high levels of vitamin A and vitamin D. It is known to ease the symptoms of arthritis as well as other potential health benefits. Earlier it was recommended to children in order to prevent rickets due to the presence of high levels of vitamin D in Cod liver oil. The quality of the oil decides the flavor and aroma which may range from a mild sardine line flavor to an intense odor of fish and oil. Characteristics of high quality Cod liver oil displays pale yellow, thin, oily liquid and have a little fishy and bland taste.

But, these vitamins are required in very small amounts as they form a group of nutrition known as micro-nutrients. Vitamins do not provide energy to the body which is actually provided by fats, proteins and carbohydrates. The main function of the vitamin is to develop chemical reactions between the nutrients and the minerals of the body. It is a fact that vitamin cannot be complete without the presence of the supplements of multi mineral which are required to be included in their formula. Our body can absorb only the required amount of vitamin as it does not the ability to keep the vitamins in stock in the body. The excess amount of vitamins are passed away in the kidneys and then out in the urine. While taking the vitamins and minerals more than recommended on daily basis, then it can result into the discolored urination due to the presence of some amount of vitamins and minerals. Vitamin B is considered to be the energy booster because it converts the carbs into the energy but, excess amount of this vitamin can make your urine into bright yellow color.vitamine]]> vitamine d]]> vitamine e]]> vitamines]]> vitamin c]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Overdose-Of-Vitamin/868476 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 02:52:25 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Overdose-Of-Vitamin/868476 Folic acid is a type of vitamin B (B9) which is mostly found in green vegetables.

The science of careful nutritional plan and diet for the athletes or sports person is called sports nutrition. Sports nutrition deals specifically with the food and fluid to eat and drink throughout the day. The goal of sports nutrition is to enhance athletic performance. It improves body composition while increasing speed, quickness and strength. Athletes are always on the lookout to increase their performance and therefore consider taking dietary supplements. Dietary protein intake for trained athletes should be before, during and after physical activity since it is advantageous in gaining muscle mass and strength. It should be noted however that if too much protein and amino acid supplements are consumed it could prove harmful to the body instead of beneficial. The sports nutrition deals with nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and substances such as carbohydrates, sugars and proteins.nutrition sportive]]> compl©ments alimentaires]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/To-Know-About-Sports-Nutrition/868311 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 01:24:58 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/To-Know-About-Sports-Nutrition/868311 A preparation intended to provide nutrients such as vitamins, fiber, minerals, amino acids or fatty acids are known as Food Supplements. A few countries define these supplements as foods whereas the others define them as drugs. These Food Supplements are natural energy boosters in form of drinks, tablets or shakes. These supplements effectively add minerals, vitamin and proteins to the diet. In these modern times it is almost impossible to avoid nutritional deficiency. With the busy lifestyle and the convenience of fast food, it becomes extremely difficult to balance the daily nutrition, thereby making it essential for these nutritional supplements to play a vital role on a daily ritual. These nutritional supplements also boost the immune system as well as help in getting rid of toxins that are taken in everyday. Supplements especially anti-oxidants can help the body keep the toxins to a minimum.

LDLs are bad because they are the ones responsible for deposit of plaque on the arteries walls. Deposit of plaque reduces the diameter of the artery and thereby restricts flow of blood through it. Therefore it can increase the risk of heart disease. HDLs are good because they remove cholesterol from arteries walls and carry it back to the liver to be excreted. Therefore HDLs in the blood can decrease the risk of heart disease. Avoid high cholesterol foods; it can cause increased levels of low density lipoproteins (LDL) that carry cholesterol to build up a mass plaque on the arterial walls. This is known as hypercholesterolemia, the cause of atherosclerosis that causes problems like heart attack or strokes. Saturated fats, trans fats, fat red meats, chicken, dairy products (fat not removed) are high cholesterol foods and is should be avoided. Avoid alcohol consumption and high sodium food sources.
