Not eating enough vegetables can cause different health disorders, which ,if they become chronic, can cause diseases: Retention of liquids: a diet with little potassium favors the retention of liquids, especially if you consume foods with a lot of salt such as sausages, snacks, chips, etc. Mu...
By reducing the waste in the food supply chain, there would be enough food for about one billion people, which would increase food security and resource efficiency [6]. However, reducing food waste is not sufficient to achieve sustainability; it is also necessary to find innovative solutions to...
The birds appear to be able to counteract the detrimental effects of secondary compounds taken with their fruit diets. In addition, there is evidence that secondary plant compounds may even stimulate food intake and metabolism in avian frugivores, although the mechanisms of counteradaptation need to ...
on the note of chickens eating ticks, vast vast majority of chickens do not eat ticks, as we have a farm infrastructure for them now, and in fact we are our best to keep chickens from coming into contact with the wild for fear of diseases causing mass cullings and in turn mass profit...

which is basically a condition where not enough oxygen enters the body but the dog still has normal arterial carbon dioxide levels. This condition is more commonly associated with congenital heart defects. It’s hard to imagine that obesity can cause the same respiratory distress as a major birth...
To the general public, it might not seem very productive toward human neurological research for scientists to work so hard on an insect wiring diagram, but fruit fly brains actually have quite a bit in common with ours. For starters, we share 60% of DNA, including genes for jet lag, lear...
“like the form of a smell is there, but there really isn't a smell”, another subject (subject 0248) says that her “smell is now ‘black & white’ and no longer ‘in color’”. Smelling without a sense of smell is like eating chick peas that you can feel but not taste when ...
In addition to macronutrient influences, the volume of food intake may play a role in satiation and subsequent energy intake. It has been shown that eating low-energy-dense foods like fruits and vegetables helps sustain satiety while concurrently reducing energy intake and appears to be a more ef...
because of the key role they play inseed dispersal. Trees make fruit to entice animals to transport their seeds, because they are more likely to germinate and grow successfully if theyfall further from their parent tree. So when fruit-eating animals disappear, fewer seeds are dispersed and the...
