I'm starting this thread, because nutritional science has fascinated since I took a Nutrition Science of Foods at the university I attended in or around 1982 to appease requirements that Oregon State requires for coaches and Physical Education instructors for the benefit of knowing how to feed young athletes to avoid problems that could plague them for the rest of their life or even kill them if they are excitable, have a family history of heart disease, or fail to eat foods that keep people healthy from stem to stern. I plan to publish the health benefits (if any) of the specific food and hope to have a place where I can find what I need quickly. You're welcome to add your comentary, as well. If I write up banana health benefits, one of my best friend's dad died when he accidentally ate a green banana. I see that green bananas are preferred by diabetic persons, and her father may have been only one in .004 percent who have this anomaly in their allergy. He apparently knew he was allergic to bananas, but when people age significantly, some of them forget important dates, names, faces, and even may stammer if they can't remember the rest of the sentence they just started to say to a friend or business associate. With the eh factor, I hope that someday someone will benefit from something I find or someone else who is also interested in the amazing research that is goig on in America that our great-grandmothers knew from learning from their mom what food benefits which ailment =. Modern people usually go to the doctor when they're ailing without a clue there might have been a vegetable or fruit, or even a type of meat that would have prevented their ailment altogether. People who don't want to gain weight might greatly benefit by taking a vitamin/mineral pill every morning to ward off the common cold or get rid of it by eating a warm bowl of chicken soup that was cooked only long enough to kill any resitual demon microbe that may have clung to the chicken on a cutting board that someone failed to sanitize after its last use. You could cut down your winter colds in half if you never were taught that washing hands before and after any trip to the bathroom prevents e.coli infections that are causal agents that invite other microbes including viral ones in to have a party with. I know that sounds silly, but it's a fact. Some microbes are nothing but trouble to the usually healthy man or woman they invade, and soap and water are their nightmare but your pleasant dream in health matters. When I took nutrition, it was sandwiched in between other aspects of Home sciences. It tells me that Oregon State University wanted to be sure their coaches and teachers knew that failure to have certain vitamins or minerals could result in a sickly student, and wanted coaches in particular to insure their ball players didn't experience cardiac arrest due to dietary deficiency, and athletes that travel a long way to compete with another school's athletes needed to be fed the right foods for their bodies and minds, and how to deal with reluctant attitudes about eating the right food or foods, balancing carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and liquids, and avoiding deleterious kitchen decisions with re to human health failure. Athletic competitions require strong bodies and mental acuity. A good coach never lets his travelling team ignore a balanced diet since it could run the risk of a sluggish performance against athletes whose coaches will even bench the best player for inattention of any kind. In the business world, brain acuity is a money-maker, a health-maker, and a good attitude pickup.. In the future, more men who want to succeed in the best way should take a nutrition science class to protect their health and be a shining star to all their friends and colleagues with a long and happy life.
