The Teacher's Text offers suggestions to the teacher, teacher's instructions, and coordinating conversation and written exercises. Because the program is flexible, the teacher may choose to instruct the lessons out of their chronological order.

Download or read book New ways to understand how foods affect me and my health written by Lorraine Brennan and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-03-10 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What we eat affects our bodies in many different ways. From changing our shape and size, to giving us the fuel to run. From keeping our hair and skin looking good, to affecting our risk of developing diseases like diabetes or cancer. However, what we eat can also affect each of us differently. This is because we all have different versions of genes, molecular regulators and even gut bacteria that affect how we respond to the foods that we eat. For example, one person may have versions of genes that means that they process (metabolize) some food components differently from how other people do. Another person may have versions of genes that make it easier for them to gain weight. To understand how different foods affect our health and our risk of developing diseases, scientists use many different types of experiments. These range from laboratory studies in cells to studies carried out directly in humans that measure how we react to specific nutrients and foods, or to our whole eating pattern. Samples of blood, saliva and urine can be analyzed to reveal lots of information about how each person’s DNA and individual biology changes the way food affects their health. New methods called ‘-omics technologies’ allow us to quickly measure all molecules of a certain type that are present in a sample. For example, genomics is used to characterize all the genes and different versions of genes in a particular person; transcriptomics measures all the genes that are switched on in that person; and proteomics and metabolomics measure the corresponding proteins and small molecules or metabolites. This gives us a huge amount of new information about how what a person eats affects their metabolism and health. These kinds of studies can also help us to understand why particular foods might affect one person differently from another. By better understanding how the effects of foods and nutrients change from person to person based on their DNA and other molecular regulators, we can start to find which types of diets may be better for different people. This idea is called ‘personalized nutrition’. For example, personalized nutrition might provide a basis for dietary advice to help individual people improve their diet and to stay healthy. This approach might also help find the best diet for people already suffering from a disease that is affected by diet. This collection of articles focuses on the latest research in the field of nutrigenomics, from advances in technologies used for this research, to how foods are processed in the body and what this means for our health. At the core of the collection is the application of nutrigenomics as a basis to personalize nutritional advice for individuals and at a public health level. This collection has been organized by NuGO and the NuGO Early Career Network (ECN). NuGo is an association of Universities and Research Institutes worldwide focusing on research on molecular nutrition, personalized nutrition, nutrigenomics and nutritional systems biology.

Download or read book One With the Tiger written by Steven Church and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 21, 2012, twenty-five year old David Villalobos purchased a pass for the Bronx Zoo and a ticket for a ride on the Bengali Express Monorail. Biding his time, he waited until the monorail was just near the enclosure of a four hundred pound Siberian tiger named Bashuta before leaping into it. They spent ten long minutes together in the tiger’s cage before nature took its course, with one exception: The tiger did not kill him. David’s only response: “It’s a spiritual thing. I wanted to be at one with the tiger.” One with The Tiger: On Savagery and Intimacy uses David’s story, and other moments of violent encounters between humans and predators, to explore the line between human and animal. Exposing what the author defines as the “shared liminal space between peace and violence,” Church posits that the animal is always encroaching on the civilization —and those seeking its wildness are in fact searching for an ecstatic moment that can define what it means to be human. Using examples from Timothy Treadwell to Mike Tyson, or such television icons as Grizzly Adams and The Incredible Hulk, Church shows how this ecstasy can seep its way into the less natural world of popular culture, proving time and again that each of us can be our own worst predator.

Download or read book The bark side of the water cycle written by Salli Dymond and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Woody plants are some of the tallest, largest, and longest-lived lifeforms on Earth. Their raw materials have literally framed and supported past human development, continues to do so today, and may aid humanity to combat and cope with future challenges, like climate change. All of the ecological and societal achievements of woody plants are due, in part, to a thin barrier between their internal and external worlds: bark. There is a lot of bark, too. Current estimates find that there is >40 million km2 of bark surface area, which is nearly as large as the entire Asian continent! Bark acts as both an environmental barrier (to pests and fire, for example) and an interface between woody plants and their environment. Even when bark is shed by a plant, or if a plant dies, bark persists and continues to act in the environment over years-to-decades. In forests where woody plants lose their leaves every season, bark, again, persists. Thus, bark has many opportunities to interact with the water cycle—from the top of live and dead tree canopies to the bottom of the forest floor. This Collection shines a light into this ‘bark side’ of the water cycle, examining several core concepts and new discoveries from the companion article collection in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change. There are several reasons why the ‘bark side’ of the water cycle requires our attention. First, most precipitation over land falls over forests and must pass through their leaves, bark and litter to reach the surface. At the surface, freshwater resources are getting scarcer and their management is becoming more socio-politically and economically complex. Finally, climate change is altering the patterns and timing of precipitation supplies around the world; however, the land surface and climate models used to predict and adapt to climate change only superficially include bark’s roles in the water cycle. Therefore, it is possible that an increased curiosity and awareness of this veritable ‘bark continent’ and its importance for our planet’s water cycle can improve the appreciation and conservation of forest ecosystems and related water resources.
