Celiac Disease

Celiac Disease is another topic I will be using for my research. When reading this article I found out what it was and what it targets and the reason why  someone might or may have it. I found out that it can be a genetic thing and also two and one-half million Americans have this disease and the number is probably just going up. Also Celiac Disease can lead into more serious health problems for example if it were to keep going untreated the person how has this disease is at risk of getting Type 1 Diabetes. Although there are treatments for Celiac Disease if someone has it they would have to change the way they eat making it so that gluten, rye and barley were not in their diet. This also would mean no bread or beer for that person.
I can use this in my paper because of the information that i just got and also I can connect it with Lactose Intolerance Disease because they both have to do with the small intestine. There is something missing making it so that the small intestine cannot break down the foods and this is why people are getting or have Celiac Disease. I can also use and look more into the fact that it can run in the family.

Milk

This website takes only eight foods that take up about 90 percent of why people have food allergies. The one that is being focused on is Milk.

Milk

Having a milk allergy and having lactose intolerance are two different things. A milk allergy is developed usually in the infant's first year of life but it is usually out grown. with lactose intolerance there are different types and it is usually not out grown. The reason why people are lactose intolerant is because they are missing the enzyme lactase which would break down the enzymes in milk.

Although the question becomes seeing as how we are the only species that continues to drink milk past the infant stage. Therefore could lactose intolerance be avoided if it was stopped being drank at the infant years or also if it was gone the most natural way which would be breast milk; would lactose intolerance then be gone?

This website has helped as far as the information that is giving and given out good ideas for the food paper that will soon be coming.

It is said and known that food is a key source in everyone’s everyday life. It is something that has to be used in order to help people survive. That being said the type of food that gets put into people’s body is also a very important key. It has been shown that people are focusing too much on how much food they get and not on how healthy or what certain foods can do for them. Essentially people do not put healthy food in their body but more or less junk in their body.

Something else is the fact that it is estimated that around ⅓ to ½ of the food in the world is getting wasted yet there are people in our world that are starving. Instead of wasting the food a new diet should be put into plan and money can be saved and the health level will go up. Right now with the type of food that gets put into bodies it is causing so many health problems and food diseases. Things like cancer, heart disease, obesity, type one and two diabetes. By changing the supply chain this can help fix or lesson the problem with people’s health.

The price of food has become outrageous. It is at it’s peak for how much it cost for people to go out and buy food. This is why it is a good idea for people to grow their own food and also because that way you know exactly what is going into your body and the worry about how the food was handled gets eliminated because that person dealt with their own food.  

Right now food is still sustainable and it may continue to stay that way but with all the extra hormones and steroids that are given to animals, it is not unheard of for an animal to go extinct. Instead of worrying about quantity and starting to worry about quality this will help out in the health of the people and also in the sustainability of food.

Food is a sustainable source but it is all in how it is used to help better people's lives. There are plenty of book out there that can help someone who wants to diet and diet the way their body needs it. This website gives multiple ways to make sure food stays sustainable.

A big key is to not waste food. Instead of eating as much as one can, making the meal portions smaller. That way money is being saved and health is being focused on. To not eat so much red meats but to consume more fruits and vegetables. Also seeing as how most people are lactose intolerant, things like dairy should be consumed less. To keep with the sustainable food and remaining healthy along with saving some money while doing it; people should go to their local stores instead of the bigger grocery stores. Looking at the food that is getting put into your body and really seeing what is in it and seeing if it is something that can help or hurt your health. Another option is to grow your own food so that way you know exactly what you are putting to your body. By doing some of these key steps, a good balance can come from this.

With doing some research and focusing on ones health, the diseases that are caused now from foods and the products that get put into people's bodies may help in decreasing the number of people with diseases or food allergies. It is not something that will happen over night. It is going to take a while to see chances.
