In social media, or the news, or internet in general, or your day to day life how did cancer cell, nutrition in animals, circulation, and exchange, animal form and function helped you to verify, question, support or apply the information of the importance or the effects found in your our daily life? Give me 3 complete examples (3 paragraphs). what has social media or the news shown about them?
First i discus about benefit of understanding the genetic constitution of different human populations. -
A reason for studying human genetics is its practical value for human welfare. In this sense, human genetics is more an applied science than a fundamental science. One benefit of studying human genetic variation is the discovery and description of the genetic contribution to many human diseases.

Nutritional Recommendations for Individuals with Diabetes:
INTRODUCTION
This example will summarize current information available from a variety of scientifically based guidelines and resources on nutritional recommendations for persons with diabetes (PWD) for health care practitioners who treat them. The provided information provides sources for further review and study. The key take home message is that nutrition plans should be individualized to meet the needs of the PWD, in consideration of their lifestyle, socioeconomic factors, cultural background, and motivation. The modern diet for the individual with diabetes is based on concepts from clinical research, portion control, and individualized lifestyle changes. It cannot simply be delivered by giving a person a diet sheet in a one-size-fits-all approach. The lifestyle modification guidance and support needed requires a team effort, best led by an expert in this area; a registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN), or a referral to a diabetes self-management education (DSMES) program that includes instruction on nutrition therapy. Dietary recommendations need to be individualized for and accepted by the given PWD. It’s important to note that the nutrition goals for diabetes are similar to those that healthy individuals should strive to incorporate into their lifestyle.
Leading authorities and professional organizations have concluded that proper nutrition therapy is an important part of the foundation for the treatment of diabetes. However, appropriate nutritional intervention, implementation, and ultimate compliance with the plan remain some of the most vexing problems in diabetes management for three major reasons: First, there are some differences in the dietary structure to consider, depending on the type of diabetes and medication the PWD is taking. Second, a plethora of dietary information is available from many sources to the PWD and healthcare provider. Nutritional science is constantly evolving, so that what may be considered true today may be outdated in the near future. Nutritional intervention may vary based on the type of diabetes; however, many of the basic dietary principles are similar for all PWD, prediabetes, metabolic syndrome or who are overweight or obese. Lastly, there is not perfect agreement among professionals as to the best nutritional therapy for individuals with diabetes, and ongoing scientific debate reported in the popular press may confuse PWD and health care providers.
2. Calcium:
The average adult’s weight is made up of about two per cent
calcium. Most of this is found in the skeleton and teeth – the rest
is stored in the tissues or blood. Calcium is vital for healthy
teeth and bones. It also plays a crucial role in other systems of
the body, such as the health and functioning of nerves and muscle
tissue.
Good sources of calcium include dairy foods like milk, yoghurt and
cheese, and calcium-fortified products, such as some plant-based
milks (for example, soy milk and rice milk) and breakfast
cereals.
People at different life stages need different amounts of calcium –
young children, teenagers and older women all have greater than
average requirements.

The average adult’s weight is made up of about two per cent calcium. Most of this is found in the skeleton and teeth – the rest is stored in the tissues or blood. Calcium is vital for healthy teeth and bones. It also plays a crucial role in other systems of the body, such as the health and functioning of nerves and muscle tissue.

People at different life stages need different amounts of calcium – young children, teenagers and older women all have greater than average requirements.
According to the most recent National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey of 2011–12:
Over half of all Australians aged two years and over consume inadequate levels of calcium from food sources.Females are less likely to have adequate intakes of calcium than males.73 per cent of females consume less calcium than recommended.51 per cent of males consume less calcium than recommended.
It is much better to get calcium from foods than from calcium supplements. Be guided by your doctor about whether you need additional supplements. Too much calcium from supplements may cause other health problems.

Calcium and dairy food
Australians receive most of their calcium from dairy foods. If milk and milk-based foods are removed from the diet, this can lead to an inadequate intake of calcium. This is of particular concern for children and adolescents, who have high calcium needs.
Calcium deficiency may lead to disorders like osteoporosis, a disease in which bones become fragile and brittle later in life. Osteoporosis affects both men and women.
Back to top
Too little calcium can weaken bones
If not enough calcium is circulating in your blood, your body will use hormones to reduce the amount of calcium your kidneys excrete in your urine. If not enough calcium is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, calcium will be taken from the bones.
If your dietary intake of calcium is constantly low, your body will eventually remove so much calcium from the skeleton that your bones will become weak and brittle.
