Based on a wild guess by a close associate of mine, there are well over 2,000 restaurants in the Manhattan area and its surrounding boroughs. Although I cannot validate the absolute accuracy of his count, I do trust it is in the ballpark, since he happens to be one of those guys who seem to know everything about everything in life (and more). His dream is to be on Jeopardy; if it ever happens, I already feel sorry for the other two contestants, who will undoubtedly be decimated on national TV. And, oh yes, he also happens to be a food- lover. There is definitely some credibility to his estimate. There is a point to be made by this story (trust me!). Despite the overwhelming number of restaurants in...

Calcium can indeed be called the 'King of Minerals', at least as far as the human body is concerned. Of all the various minerals that are present naturally in the human body, the mineral calcium is by far, the most plentiful. Although calcium is present in the highest quantities amongst all minerals, it is not very evenly distributed in the body. Almost all the calcium in our bodies (as much as 99%) is found in our bones and teeth. The remaining 1% of calcium flows freely in the blood stream. Calcium Sources: Are You Getting Enough? As per the recommended dietary allowances (RDA), men and women between the ages of 19 and 50 should have a minimum intake of 1000mg everyday. If you are above 50, your...

Vitamins may well be one of the most overrated byword in the field of health and nutrition, but their importance in our well-being is never underestimated. In the scientific community, they are defined as organic compounds that are not made by the body itself so it should be acquired through our diet or the supplements that we take. Moreover, vitamins can be classified as soluble either in fat or in water as they play vital roles in our metabolism. Even with well-documented proofs of their importance, new studies are generating additional information about their previously unknown benefits as well as harmful effects (if used incorrectly). Vitamin A The most popular benefit of Vitamin A is clear...

Manganese citrate is classified as a micronutrient or a trace mineral. It helps the body convert protein and fat into energy. The mineral also fights against free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that have one unpaired electron. To stabilize itself it 'steals' an electron from another nearby stable molecule. That molecule then becomes a free radical itself. They attack normal molecules to make themselves normal. This could create a series of damaged molecules which could lead to many kinds of diseases. If we can take something to combat free radicals, it would improve the health of cells and the body overall. The mineral is found in very large amounts in plants. In the body, it is stored in...

Chromium is a trace mineral, which is needed by the human body for total body health. Specifically, chromium is very essential for metabolizing various proteins, fats, and sugars in your body.

Studies have also revealed that chromium can be used by those who are trying to shed weight as it does aid weight loss; but not by burning fat as was previously thought, but by building muscle and breaking down the fats that you eat. All these benefits of chromium can be obtained by taking a natural supplement. Do You Need a Supplement? If this question was asked some...

Indium is the seventh rarest of all minerals and is absent from all foods because it is not soluble in water and thus very poorly absorbed into the food chain. Because of this absence of indium from the food chain, it was regarded by scientists as a non-essential mineral for health. But this thinking has changed in recent years, and how! The Health Benefits of Indium From being considered as a non-essential mineral (because of its total absence from the food chain) to one that can be helpful in the treatment of various diseases, Indium has taken a great leap indeed. This is not because indium has suddenly gained 'magical' properties, but is because there is increased understanding and awareness of...

Seniors are less active and are at a much greater risk of having nutritional deficiencies. They tend to not eat as much calories and they take more prescription drugs then the general population. This in turn means that they are getting less nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals as younger people.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing industries use closed systems for safety purposes. Cleaning of these systems is very difficult as the surfaces are not exposed and are interior. These safety systems include interior surfaces of vessels, pipes, process equipments and associated fittings that are utilized in different stages of development. Clean-in-Place is a technique that provides an automated cleaning solution to these safety devices. Before the introduction of this technique, all the systems were initially disassembled and then cleaned manually. But the major problem faced by this traditional approach was temporary shut down of the production systems which in turn hampered the whole production...

Medicines are made of harmful chemicals and components extracted from animal origin. But it could be very fatal and full of side effects. Hence, Biotechnology has developed genetically engineered plants that contains healing capacities and can cure crucial diseases without any side-effects. These plants are used to develop medicines in biotechnological plants. Since long, living organisms like yeasts and bacterias have been utilized as the resources for development of pharmaceuticals. These resources are not sufficient to meet the growing requirements. Therefore to solve this problem, now plants are used as alternatives to animal resources.
