A Perspective of Food Access within the Developing World

Global Journal of Nutrition & Food Science

The paper explores how food production and accessibility has become problematic within the developing nations. The problem will be more acute in the years to come due to boosting migrations from rural areas. Mismanagement of food distribution and processing is also counted as an issue. Modernization of agriculture could be recommended as a solution. Hunger and shortage of food have highly impacted the cities of developing countries to be unbearably densely populated. The UN has positively recommended that food problem within the developing world could be solved only if improved technologies are used. However, while more demands for food is observed today, more food needs to be produced. Similarly, as in urban areas more money is in circulation, people’s lifestyle is ever changing demanding more food in quantity and quality. Sustainable agricultural revolution emphasizes on efforts to be made to ever raise yields to feed the increasing population. The paper points to the increasing number of world countries facing malnutrition creating challenges. They all need solutions and remedies.

Cholera Treatment in Malnourish Children

Global Journal of Nutrition & Food Science

Cholera is an extremely virulent disease that can kill within hours if left untreated; it is an infectious disease that can cause severe diarrhea and dehydration. Cholera is transmitted mainly through contaminated water and food. Children are the most vulnerable to infection. Most cases need rapid treatment with intravenous fluids and antibiotics. The real danger of cholera is the loss of liquid and nutrients from the child’s body. Malnutrition in children with cholera is common in under developed countries. Severe malnutrition remains an important problem in cholera cases. Liquid and nutrition lost can cause dehydration and malnutrition. It is recommended that drink lots of liquids and oral rehydration salts (ORS), properly mixed with clean water from a safe source, and take zinc tablets or syrup for 10–14 days. ORS is a special combination of dry salts that is mixed with water to replace the fluids lost due to diarrhoea.

Collagen: Building Nature’s Infrastructure

Global Journal of Nutrition & Food Science 

Collagen has been a personal passion of mine since graduate school where my thesis tells the story of how collagen and elastin cross-links are affected by d-penicillamine, a remarkable amino acid. Collagen has been around since metazoan times. Its structure is elegantly simple and simply elegant. Glycine-proline-Any amino acid is a base unit that, when repeated about 1,000 times, becomes one strand of collagen. Three strands wind together to make a single collagen molecule. Collagen is a major part of the infrastructure of all mammals, fish, birds, and crustacean. The infrastructure includes bones and joints, arteries and veins, tendons and fascia. The orienting basement membrane that every cell receives nourishment from and exports metabolic products and wastes has a specialized collagen core.
