#Can Good Nutrition Increase Height

[elodieunderglass]

You put that info dump about jockeys in the tags of the info dump post, but oh my stars do I need you to write an actual post about it if you have the time! Or if you've already done that, point me in the direction of where I can find it, because dude, am I invested now!!!!

Oh I can go on about jockeys forever. Let’s do a crash (ha) course while dressing my jockey OC, Killie. Killie is an Irish-British racing jockey over the flat AND jumps, operating in the UK.

NOTE TW below the cut for injuries, weight talk and references to disordered eating, because, regrettably: professional horse jockeys. Infuriating people.

We start with Killie’s fairly battered and frankly very tiny body. At 4’10” Killie is comfortably at the bottom range of jockeys, who usually range from 4’10 to 5’7”. There’s no height limit; there is a weight limit. A naturally small man at about 118 lbs of fairly fit racing weight, Killie is in condition to race on the flat in the UK without too much starvation, dehydration, and substance abuse those are just his hobbies. Jockeys and their gear are weighed before and after each race. Weight limits for jockeys include their body, personal gear, riding gear and safety equipment.

Flat jockeys - who race horses on a plain circular track, like the Kentucky Derby - must be lighter and smaller than jump jockeys. In the USA, flat jockeys tend to be about 118 lbs, the weight of a potential Kentucky Derby competitor. In the UK, flat jockeys and their gear can now go up to 142 lbs, thanks to increased welfare standards; this includes the 3lb allowance for the body protector that UK jockeys must wear as of 2018, and, as of 2013, Flat jockeys in the UK can now have an additional 1 lb of allowance for warm clothing in winter.

Jump jockeys, who race in steeplechases (USA) like the Grand National (UK) aka races with jumps - are allowed to be slightly heavier, and often taller with it, as their sport requires even more strength and stamina.

Jockeys have to be able to maintain ~118 lbs of very fit, fighting-quality muscle, every day of the week. Thus, most jockeys are short, averaging 5’2” in a sport dominated by men, because that’s the cost of packing on enough muscle for the required strength/stamina. add in excellent horsemanship, high pain tolerance, lack of natural fear/truly bonkers physical courage, the ability to go for days without food and other pleasures of life, an ongoing commitment to fitness, excellent mental arithmetic/timekeeping skills, and the ability to tolerate abysmal working conditions, to understand why most short people aren’t immediately natural jockeys. Taller jockeys are becoming ever more common, as the conditions that shaped the historically legendary small jockeys (enslavement/slaver starvation, concentration camps/Nazi starvation, birth complication/premature birth, bad nutrition) are thankfully becoming far less common. This is in turn driving pushes towards higher weight limits, which can only be a good thing.

Why aren’t jockeys all little people? Because it isn’t just about being small - it’s more important to be light and strong. Jockeys generally don’t have medical conditions underpinning their size, and are not generally considered part of the little people community, although their size may overlap with little people. It’s important to repeat that the working conditions of jockeys are still bad; they're a loose collection of freelancers who very rarely become contractors, they don’t bargain collectively, have nominal professional associations, and have 500 years of absurdly feudal working conditions to battle. Little people who are motivated to handle horses could have a comparable time - and genuine union protection! and fans! and visibility! and benefits! and safety coordinators! and less substance abuse! And clothing! - by working as stunt actors. Jockeys just have a shitty job, so when we ask why marginalised people don’t dominate the field, we have to look at working conditions.

Why don’t more women (who tend to be a bit smaller statistically) go into racing? Some of it is historical sexism, but again, the working conditions. Female jockeys have raced throughout history, and are active today. Men and women compete equally in horse racing without any gender segregation or handicap (or even different clothing) and with no statistical difference in performance. Of course, male and female horses also compete alongside each other, for what it’s worth! equestrian sports are generally refreshingly free of TERF nonsense about Masculinity Being An Advantage (it isn’t, in human or horse.) but again, it isn’t a choice career for people with better options, so to improve diversity/inclusivity the working conditions should be addressed first, not the other way around.

Also note: horse racing is declining in popularity. With its preferred audiences traditionally being "stupidly posh aristocrats who wear alarming fascinators" and "conservative working-class old men who shout at TVs in sports bars," with a side order of "sketchy gambling-addicted weirdos," the sport doesn't really appeal to, for example, Tumblr users. Millennial-and-younger generations basically just ignore the whole industry. Most people can't name a single racing jockey; people could maybe name Secretariat, one of the most famous named animals in history, who had a film about him.

At any rate, Killie comes by his frame honestly - he is just generationally tiny and lanky, from a family of jockeys.

Killie starts his outfit in “jockey” briefs and a very lightweight high-neck top. Remember that the carry weight of his gear comes out of his weight allowance, which also includes his own body and riding equipment, so he’s wearing a lightweight mesh skivvy, even in cold weather.

The terminology of jockey briefs and the Jockey underwear brand come from horse racing. "Jockey" comes from the British/Scottish word "jock," for a young boy; jockey being a diminutive of this. The phrase "jock" as in "sportsman, opposite of nerd" in the USA comes from "jockstrap", which is apparently a completely separate underwear-related sporting etymology.

Men and women wear the same clothes, which are sold to everyone equally; there aren’t “girl versions” for racing gear, just heavy or lightweight gear. Women usually add a sports bra, and men have personal preferences for briefs to keep things contained. However, anecdotally, some women race in 'men’s' underwear - and some male jockeys wear 'women’s' underwear to keep gear weight down - so whatever. Pantyhose can be worn to prevent chafing, add a vague layer of warmth, fight the see-through effect of racing breeches, and are a compromise for socks, which would add unnecessary weight.

If there was a reason to leave off his base layer, Killie could cheat by wearing a neck wrap - basically a high collar with a bib that would make it LOOK like he was wearing something under his silks.

Today, in the UK and Australia, jockeys wear body protectors! These are fairly new to the sport and aren’t even remotely universal in the USA. Body protectors can shield the spine, lungs and heart from falls, kicks, and crush injuries.

Killie has also added his high-waisted racing breeches. These are basically-see-through polyester breeches of unbelievable thinness and lightness. Unlike normal riding breeches/jodhpurs, they don’t offer much at all in the way of comfort/grip/protection.

Pull-ups are a kind of tight compression tube that bridge the breeches/boots gap, preventing chafing and making sure that breeches taper into the boot.

Time for silks!

Silks, or racing colours, are colourful high-necked thin jackets that are buttoned over the body protector and tucked into the breeches. Silks represent the owner of the racehorse, for example the Queen of England or Godolphin Stables. Jockeys don’t own racehorses or own/choose silks.

Killie is a licensed jockey under contract to a stable - a highly desirable position. this means that he has HIS OWN PERSONAL SILKS, which actually fit him on purpose. He also knows the horses he rides. This is a very rare and comfortable post - the gold standard for champion jockeys, and what everyone in the profession is desperately hoping for.

Most everyday jobbing jockeys are paid £100 per ride, plus a cut of the purse if they win (but most jockeys in a race necessarily don’t win.) jobbing jockeys are chosen by racehorse owners like itinerant labourers or puppies from a box. Jockeys compete desperately to be offered the best mounts. The owners’ silks are kept in a changing room and when a jockey is chosen by an owner to ride a particular horse, they are handed the owner’s silks to put on over their base layer. These silks are unisex and one-size-fits-all, so jockeys tuck them into breeches to hide when they’re too large, and small jockeys use hair elastics to roll back and secure the sleeves.

People have a vague idea from heartwarming movies that the racehorse, owner, trainer and jockey are familiar with each other - perhaps they have a beautiful relationship. It’s important to remember the real pecking order here: the owner is usually a billionaire or royalty. The racehorse is usually a valuable, highly-bred animal with a proper dollar value on it, which the billionaire loves as an extension of their own wealth and power and beauty and influence. And the jockey is a sort of disposable starving dog that talks, which you graciously choose from the pack, based on their stats, like someone picking a Mario Kart, and assign to make your horsey win. Sometimes “just before the race” is the first time the jockey even touches the horse they’re about to ride! At any rate, the patterned jacket is chucked at the jockey to button on over their clothes(unless they’re Killie and have their own.) They also stretch a thin flexible matching cover over their helmet.

The design of the silks is ancient in intention; everyone can intuit that it’s resonant with medieval alliances and heraldry and tournaments, and the wearing of colours facilitates your ability pick out “your” mounted knight from a scrum of other screaming horses and bodies. Today they help commentators and the audience to see their horses. All silks must be unique, with colour/design/pattern being registered in databases. You can play with the British Horseracing Authority's silks database to see whether your design of silks would be available!

Killie is wearing his racing boots. They're flexible, made of very leather, with practically no sole, and weigh less than half a pound.

Killie wears racing gloves - these are optional, and often fingerless since jockeys like to feel the reins. He also has goggles. Jockeys usually take multiple pairs, perched on their helmet and pulled down in turn. You can have tinted ones for sun/rain, but they’re most important for keeping mud and stones out of your eyes at 40mph. They’re very lightweight, and when they become too dirty to see through, you pull them down to hang around your neck and then pull down the next pair over your eyes. here's jockey Gary Stevens after a muddy race with several pairs of goggles pulled down.

Killie's got his helmet, so now he's dressed. He needs to add his gear. Again, the jockey's body and their gear are part of the same weight allowance; a lighter jockey can have heavier gear. Here is UK jockey Hollie Doyle showing hers:

Interestingly, the weight of the saddle (plus stirrups, girth, and lead cloth) belongs in the jockey's weight allowance. (The racehorse brings its own bridle and saddlecloth.) Hollie is shown here with multiple saddles - for various riding conditions, weights, etc. Racing saddles only weigh about 1-2 pounds - contrasted with the 20lb of a normal English riding saddle - and are basically a strap that the stirrups hang from, since jockeys mostly stand up to ride.

This concludes "Getting Cillian Dressed, the Awkward Little Sod That He Is." Thank you so much for joining me and prompting this.

Appendix:

I depict Killie as a lightly bruised skeleton wrapped in a thin layer of mental problems, with the temperament of an unloved stray dog. This is not a nice state for a fellow to live in, so if I were to give him a happy ending, I would like Killie to age into a sort of healthy, roguish Franny Norton type (Franny, below, is the older jockey in white base layer. He raced for over 30 years and retired in 2024.) So if Killie were to be developed as a character, he would be poised for having some kind of fictional redemption arc that aligns with the overall improvement of working conditions for jockeys in 2025 and the potential redemption arc of his whole profession. it is possible, and increasingly less rare, for jockeys to be More Normal than Killie - as they very much should be!! the take-home message here should be that the profession has the potential to improve and may even do so. Emphasis on jockey and racehorse welfare would only help.

TIGER HRT CHAPTER 2 - MONTH 0 - EXPECTATIONS

FIRST/PREV - NEXT

---

It's been six months. Six months since that weird doctor and his inane little test to prove I'm ready, or at least, ready enough. Six months since I signed a stack of liability waivers forfeiting my right to pursue legal action for any reason up to and including untimely death. Only DAYS left before I can finally claim the entire reason I was there in the first place.

I came home today to find an information package in the mail - things I need to know before making my final commitment to the treatment. It's somewhat reassuring, really. By the sounds of it, this guy has to deal with all kinds of odd requests - I heard a rumour that someone went to him for a chimera treatment at one point - which means that he has to do all this research into side effects personally. …Although there's no telling how much of this is speculation. Concerning.

The information package is divided into different headings, roughly organized by risk factor and how outwardly noticeable they are, as if he's right here with me, trying to scare me off from it.

I decided before I even went to him that I wasn't going to let myself be scared again. Let's see what I'm in for. I sit down and start reading…

SKELETAL STRUCTURE

"Subject's height will noticeably increase. Increase of six inches is expected, increase of one foot is possible."

Huh. I guess I wouldn't mind being taller, but that's definitely going to affect what kinds of clothes I can wear. And I guess I might also get a bit wider proportionally? I'm already plus-size, maybe it'll just level it out.

"Subject may experience a conversion from plantigrade (walking on soles) to digitigrade (walking on toes)."

That makes me stop and think. I'd basically have to re-learn how to walk, and no doubt there's going to be an awkward intermediate period. Will my feet get bigger as well? They're big enough to make me dysphoric as it is. I wonder if I can get custom footwear made… I wonder how much that will cost…

"Subject will experience a reconfiguration of fingers to allow for retractable claws. Persistent soreness is to be expected."

Bluh. I've bitten my nails too close enough times to know how much it sucks not to be able to put pressure on my fingers without pain. I wonder how long that particular effect will last. Due to the lack of timeframe, I can only guess. Months, maybe. Years, I doubt it, but possibly.

"Subject's cranial and facial structure will experience long-term reformation. The effect this will have on brain function is unknown.

And here we get into "you signed a waiver" territory. I had accepted at the outset that death was a possibility, but I'm not sure how to feel about the risk of permanent brain damage. None of the other accounts of therian HRT I've heard seem to mention this, though, so maybe it's just speculation? I move on to the next heading.

DIET

"Tigers, like all felines, are obligate carnivores. Subject will be required to eat real meat (no substitutions) at every meal, or risk symptoms of starvation."

This had already occurred to me, to be honest. Part of the reason a white tiger is my fursona in the first place is because I am an unrepentant meat enjoyer. Heck, maybe a feline body will make meat taste even better.

"Lingering human characteristics may make it possible to digest other food, but the nutritional benefit to subject will be negligible."

…Ah. This was less expected. Does this mean I'll have to start thinking of things like bread and fruit as basically candy? Worse, will I have to avoid it? I love me a good grilled cheese, and poutine is basically an addictive substance, am I going to have to swear off some of my longtime favourites? Out of all of the effects so far, this is the one to give me the most hesitation. Yes, I love food, I'm not afraid to admit it.

"Subject is likely to lose cravings for non-meat food entirely."

I have to sit back and process this one. Back when I started human HRT, one of the things that gave me pause was the idea of decreased libido. That was one of the few things about my body that didn't make me dysphoric, unlike a lot of trans people whose stories I'd read. In the first few months, though, I found it settled into a pleasant sort of medium, where I could have it if I wanted, but it wouldn't show up out of nowhere. Maybe this will be the same way? Maybe poutine can still be a sometimes food? Cats eat weird stuff that's not healthy for them sometimes, but it's fine, right?

Some part of me considers holding a funeral for the abstract concept of poutine.

On to the final heading…

SENSORY EFFECTS

"Subject will gain heightened night vision and hearing. This will cause sleep to become significantly more difficult."

Trust a doctor to find the one downside to one of the coolest effects of the treatment… Do you even know how much I want to hear every beat of the world around me? Do you even understand how useful it would be to be able to see in the dark effortlessly? Having a tiger's eyes and ears would be almost worth every single downside by itself.

Besides, I'm a very heavy sleeper.

"Subject's hearing frequency range will become significantly more broad than a human's. High-pitched noises such as dog whistles will be audible and painful."

Well, I'm sure that's going to suck sometimes, but I don't think I'm exposed to such noises on the regular. Although… I suppose I wouldn't know, with my feeble human frequency range. It's something that might be fine or might suck, I guess.

"Subject's sense of touch will be strongly affected by fur growth."

Sure, that tracks, but I'm kind of looking forward to it. Maybe it's comparable to wearing a full-body fursuit? I've actually missed having opportunities to fullsuit, and I've thought about commissioning a new one if I saved up enough money, but I suppose that won't be necessary now.

Much of the rest of the document is a reminder that everything listed is Permanent and Irreversible short of Major Surgery, with some reminders of the various rights to litigate that I've waived. Ultimately, it sounds like I've got some big changes ahead, but nothing I've seen here is a dealbreaker.

It's slightly terrifying, but I'm excited.

I can't wait to hear the rain through a tiger's ears.

Bells Build Massive Biceps

Hello again, my Kettlebell friend! We always want to look and feel our best — that’s why we do what we do everyday with slinging our rounded iron! Yes, creating massive biceps is a common goal for many fitness enthusiasts — not that there’s anything wrong with that! While traditional dumbbell exercises are widely recognized for bicep development, kettlebells offer unique benefits and challenges that can lead to impressive muscle growth and strength. This article will guide you through an effective kettlebell workout specifically designed to target and build massive biceps.

Why Kettlebells for Biceps?

Kettlebells, with their off-center mass, engage muscles differently than dumbbells. This means your muscles have to work harder to stabilize the weight, leading to increased muscle activation and growth. Additionally, the thick handles of kettlebells improve grip strength, which is crucial for pulling exercises that target the biceps.

The Workout

This kettlebell workout for biceps focuses on high-intensity exercises that stimulate muscle growth. It's important to start with a warm-up to prevent injuries. A good warm-up could include arm circles, wrist rolls, and some light kettlebell swings to get the blood flowing.

1. Kettlebell Bicep Curls

How to: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand. Keep your elbows close to your torso, curl the weights while keeping your palms facing up. Lower them back down after a short pause. Aim for 3 sets of 8-12 reps.

2. Kettlebell Hammer Curls

How to: Similar to the bicep curls but hold the kettlebells with your palms facing each other (neutral grip). This targets the brachialis, a muscle that can push your bicep up, making it look bigger. Perform 3 sets of 8-12 reps.

3. Kettlebell Clean

How to: Start with the kettlebell between your feet. Bend your knees slightly, then explosively pull the kettlebell up, flipping your wrist so it rests against your forearm at shoulder height. This not only works your biceps but also engages your core and shoulders. Do 3 sets of 6-8 reps per arm.

4. Kettlebell Concentration Curl

How to: Sit on the edge of a bench or chair, spreading your legs wide. Lean forward slightly, holding a kettlebell with one hand. Rest your elbow against your inner thigh for support, and curl the kettlebell towards your chest. Focus on isolating the bicep. Perform 3 sets of 10-12 reps per arm.

Tips for Maximizing Bicep Growth

Progressive Overload: Gradually increase the weight of the kettlebell as you get stronger to continue challenging your muscles.

Mind-Muscle Connection: Focus on the contraction of the bicep muscle during each exercise to maximize engagement.

Recovery: Biceps need time to repair and grow. Ensure you're not overtraining and that you're getting enough rest between workouts.

Nutrition: Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth. Make sure your diet supports your fitness goals.

Hey, Incorporating kettlebells into your workout routine can significantly enhance your bicep development. The unique properties of kettlebells, combined with the exercises listed above, can help you achieve massive biceps. Remember, consistency, proper form, and a balanced diet are key to seeing the best results. Start integrating these kettlebell exercises into your routine and watch your biceps grow! Be careful out there! Get bigger out there!

What’s the most effective change someone with a busy schedule can make to their fitness routine for noticeable results within 3 months?

If you’re juggling a packed schedule in the USA — work, family, maybe even a side hustle — finding time for fitness can feel like a losing battle. But here’s the good news: you don’t need hours in the gym to see real changes in your strength, energy, or body composition. 

As someone who’s navigated the chaos of a busy life while trying to stay fit, I’ve learned that one smart change can make all the difference. For noticeable results in just three months, the most effective tweak is prioritizing high-intensity interval training (HIIT). 

Here’s why it works for busy folks and how to make it stick, tailored for anyone in the USA looking to level up their fitness without upending their life.

Leptofix Secret Exposed — Burn Fat Fast, Naturally!

Why HIIT Is a Game-Changer for Busy People

HIIT involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief rest periods. It’s perfect for those with limited time because it delivers big results in 20–30 minutes. Studies, like those from the American College of Sports Medicine, show HIIT boosts cardiovascular health, burns fat, and builds muscle faster than steady-state cardio. 

For Americans balancing long commutes or desk jobs, HIIT fits into tight schedules while tackling common goals like weight loss or toning up.

How HIIT Delivers Results in 3 Months

Committing to HIIT 3–4 times a week can transform your fitness in just 12 weeks. Here’s what you can expect:

Fat loss: HIIT increases your metabolism, helping you burn calories even after your workout (the “afterburn” effect).

Muscle tone: Bodyweight or light-weight HIIT circuits build strength, giving you a leaner, more defined look.

Energy boost: Improved fitness means less fatigue during daily tasks, from chasing kids to climbing office stairs.

Heart health: HIIT strengthens your cardiovascular system, reducing risks of heart disease — a major concern in the USA.

How to Add HIIT to Your Busy Life

You don’t need a gym membership or fancy equipment to start. Here’s how to make HIIT work with your schedule:

Choose short workouts: Aim for 20–25 minutes, including a 5-minute warm-up and cool-down. Apps like Nike Training Club or YouTube channels (e.g., Fitness Blender) offer free HIIT routines.

Do it anywhere: Use bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups, or burpees at home, in a park, or even a hotel room if you travel.

Schedule it strategically: Slot HIIT into your morning before work, during lunch breaks, or right after dropping kids at school. Consistency is key.

Mix it up: Alternate exercises (e.g., 30 seconds of jumping jacks, 15 seconds rest) to keep it fun and avoid burnout.

Sample 20-Minute HIIT Workout

Try this beginner-friendly circuit 3–4 times a week. Repeat each move for 30 seconds, rest 15 seconds, and complete 4 rounds:

High knees: Run in place, lifting knees to hip height.

Push-ups: Modify on knees if needed.

Squats: Keep your chest up and knees behind toes.

Plank: Hold a straight line from head to heels.

Jumping jacks: Go all out to spike your heart rate.

Rest 1 minute between rounds. Stretch for 2–3 minutes after to stay loose.

Tips to Stay Consistent and See Results

A busy life means distractions, but these strategies keep you on track:

Set a realistic goal: Aim for 3 HIIT sessions weekly. Mark them on your calendar like meetings.

Track progress: Take a “before” photo, note your energy levels, or measure your waist. Small wins (like fitting better in jeans) motivate you.

Pair with small diet tweaks: Swap soda for water or add protein (like Greek yogurt or chicken) to meals. Nutrition amplifies HIIT’s effects.

Listen to your body: Rest if you’re sore. Overdoing it risks injury, especially with a hectic schedule.

Why This Works for Americans

In the USA, where 60% of adults say they lack time for exercise (per CDC data), HIIT’s efficiency is a lifesaver. It aligns with our fast-paced culture, letting you squeeze workouts into mornings in New York, lunch breaks in Texas, or evenings in California. Plus, it’s adaptable — whether you’re a parent in the suburbs or a tech worker in a city, HIIT meets you where you are.

Final Thoughts

If you’re swamped but want to feel stronger, leaner, and more energized in three months, HIIT is your best bet. It’s quick, effective, and doesn’t demand a huge time commitment. I’ve squeezed HIIT into my own crazy weeks and seen my stamina and confidence soar. 

You don’t need to overhaul your life — just carve out 20 minutes a few times a week and show up for yourself. Start small, stay consistent, and watch your fitness transform. You’ve got this!

Design, Usage, and Benefits of Vertical Milk Cooling Tank

Quality maintenance of milk from production till processing is very important in the dairy industry. One such critical component that aids in keeping the milk flavorful and uncontaminated is milk cooling tanks. They are distinctly configured to store milk in the proper conditions so that its nutritive value is safe-guarded and the bacterial growth is barred. Because of its design, it keeps a small footprint and cools and cleans better.

This article will reflect upon all you have to know concerning a horizontal tank of milk and present its features, benefits, applications, and what sets it apart to be the most popular choice for advanced dairy farms and milk-processing industries.

What Exactly Is a Vertical Milk Storage Tank?

A Vertical Milk Storage Tank is a cylindrical tank designed specifically for the storage of raw and pasteurized milk in a vertical location. Unlike horizontal tanks, their mechanization makes them quite suitable for places where floor space is extremely limited. These tanks are made from very sanitary, super-tough stainless steel.

These tanks are commonly equipped with:

Insulating walls to help keep milk at appropriate temperature

An agitator to keep the milk well mixed

CIP (Clean-In-Place) system for easy sanitation

Temperature controls for precision storage

Why Opt for the Vertical Design?

The vertical configuration in these tanks comes with many advantages over horizontal tanks.

Space efficiency: In plants where ground space is limited, the vertical tanks utilize height instead of width, thereby allowing increased storage in a small area.

Better mixing and cooling: The shape of the tank facilitates good circulation, making it easier on the agitator to mix the milk into individual consistency and on chillers to maintain the set temperature and cool milk uniformly.

Ease of cleaning: Comprehensive cleaning of vertical tanks, using CIP articles is quick due to their straightforward construction.

Economic installations: Since these zones take up significantly fewer square footage, more than one tank can find a space within a particular area compared to the others, thereby cutting down any infrastructural expenditures.

Special Features Regarding Vertical Milk Storage Tanks

1. Material and Construction

These are the stainless steel vertical milk storage tanks, mostly of SS304 or SS316 high quality. The material is impact-free, resistant, and is compatible with food-grade quality.

2. Insulation

Most of these vertical tanks are double-walled, with polyurethane foam insulation filled to stabilize temperature, prevent spoilage, and save energy.

3. Cooling System

Some tanks come with an inbuilt cooling system (direct or indirect cooling); with direct cooling, refrigerant is circulated through the jacket of the tank, while using chilled water or glycol for indirect cooling.

4. Agitators

Agitator systems are set up to prevent cream separation and maintain uniformity.The structures are designed to ensure that milk proteins are not broken down undesirably.

5. The CIP System

Inclusive Clean-in-Place, the system performs all steps required for tank sterilization without uncapping the latter. Hence the Clean-In-Place system promotes hygiene and cuts down on downtimes.

6. Level Indicators & Thermometer

Vertical tanks come furnished with level indicators and digital thermometers for actual knowing the milk level and temperature, which ensures meaningful supervision and real-time follow-up.

Applications of vertical-milk storage tanks

Vertical milk storage tanks are utilized for a whole host of applications across dairy and food sectors such as-

Dairy farms: To collect and store raw milk of cows or buffaloes before transportation.

Milk collection centers: Used for the storage of bulk milk until it is ready for transportation.

Used for pasteurized milk: storage or raw milk used for the manufacture of different milk products like cheese, butter, curd, etc. if any milk processing plant is available.

Centers for cooling purposes: this is to store milk at low temperatures to ensure that each of these milk conditions is maintained before transport.

Vertical Milk Storage Tank offers significant benefits.

1. Better Quality of Milk

Superior insulation coupled with temperature control results in maintaining the freshness of the milk. Gentile milk handling keeps the milk fresh for a longer period, thus preventing spoilage and increasing shelf life.

2. Efficiency in Operations

These vertical tanks lead to excellent workflow efficiency, occupying very little space and being extremely easy to clean. This means reduced labor time and maintenance time.

3. Hygienic Standard Compliance

The use of food-grade materials for the tanks and sanitary fittings maintains compliance with global standards of food safety and hygiene.

4. Energy Savings

Some vertical tanks, while so long and wide, could easily use copious amounts of power and consume significantly into their operational costs. To counteract this, insulated walls coupled with efficient cooling systems diminish the energy consumption associated with these equipments.

5. Scalability

The scalability factor of the vertical tanks provides those tank capacities ranging from few hundred liters up to tens of thousands of liters, causing dairy businesses to scale out as required.

Considerations Before Buying a Upright Milk Storage Tank

Pointers before looking for a vertical milk storage tank:

Capacity Requirement: The capacity required shall be based on the daily milk yield and storage requirements.

Cooling Type: Choose between direct and indirect cooling system based on your facility or your budget.

Level of Automation: A good tank ought to be lighted by a PLC control system with the automatic CIP system along with smart monitoring.

Certification: It needs to be confident that the milk storage tank meets local and international standards for dairy equipment.

Customer Support: Go for a manufacturer that provides customer support right from installation, sales, and after-care.

Maintenance and Cleaning Tips

Follow these cleaning and maintenance tips for the longevity and hygiene of your storage tanks:

Use the approved cleaning agents and clean the CIP system regularly.

Check for any leaks or corrosion, especially around joints and seals.

Calibration of installed temperature sensors and level indicators should be done regularly.

Check the agitator and motor for signs of wear and tear.

It's better to drain and sanitize the tank and piping system before leaving idle for a long period.

Conclusion

There's inarguably a Vertical Milk Storage Tank for you in your dairy investment to improve quality, efficiency, and health standards of the operation. Being unique in the category of space and the edge of insulation, the tank is quite a darling of modern dairy farming and milk-processing environments. Suppose you're still at the start of a mini dairy business, or scaling up to more production, the investment in good operational gear designed with the best vertical tanks will change the game when it comes to your milk handling and storage solutions.

A tank should correspond to vertical type, imperative for the best push-button requirement; ensure it's properly maintained, and it can last for years of ultimate service and efficiency in terms of milk storage.

Common Myths About Bone Health Debunked by Dr. Mansoor Mohammed Kassim

Bone health is a critical aspect of overall well-being, yet many misconceptions surround it. These myths can lead people to make poor health decisions, increasing their risk of conditions like osteoporosis, fractures, and chronic joint pain. Dr. Mansoor Mohammed Kassim, a renowned orthopedic specialist, addresses some of the most common myths about bone health and provides evidence-based insights to help people take better care of their bones.

Myth 1: Only Older Adults Need to Worry About Bone Health

Reality: Many people believe that bone health is only a concern for older individuals. However, Dr. Mansoor Kassim emphasizes that strong bones must be built from a young age. Peak bone mass is achieved by the late 20s, and after that, bone density gradually declines. A lack of proper nutrition and exercise during youth can lead to weak bones and a higher risk of fractures later in life.

What to Do:

Ensure adequate calcium and vitamin D intake from childhood.

Engage in weight-bearing and strength-training exercises to strengthen bones.

Avoid excessive intake of sugary drinks and processed foods, which can weaken bones.

Myth 2: Drinking Milk Is Enough for Strong Bones

Reality: While milk is a good source of calcium, relying on it alone is not sufficient for optimal bone health. Dr. Mansoor Mohammed Kassim highlights that bones need a combination of nutrients, including vitamin D, magnesium, phosphorus, and protein, to stay strong. Additionally, lactose intolerance or dairy allergies can make it difficult for some individuals to get enough calcium from milk.

What to Do:

Incorporate other calcium-rich foods like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and fortified plant-based milks.

Get adequate sun exposure or consider supplements for vitamin D.

Balance your diet with lean proteins and minerals essential for bone formation.

Myth 3: Bone Loss Is Unavoidable With Age

Reality: While bone density does decline with age, Dr. Mansoor Kassim clarifies that bone loss is not inevitable and can be slowed down with the right lifestyle choices. Osteoporosis is not a natural part of aging; it results from poor nutrition, lack of exercise, and hormonal imbalances.

What to Do:

Stay active with strength training, resistance exercises, and yoga.

Follow a balanced diet rich in bone-supporting nutrients.

Get regular bone density tests after age 50 to monitor changes.

Myth 4: If You Don’t Feel Pain, Your Bones Are Fine

Reality: Many bone diseases, including osteoporosis, do not cause pain until a fracture occurs. Dr. Mansoor Oman warns that by the time pain is felt, significant damage may have already occurred. Regular check-ups and preventive care are essential.

What to Do:

Get bone mineral density (BMD) tests if you have risk factors.

Maintain an active lifestyle and proper nutrition to prevent silent bone loss.

Watch for early signs like stooped posture or height loss.

Myth 5: Osteoporosis Only Affects Women

Reality: While osteoporosis is more common in women due to menopause-related hormonal changes, Dr. Mansoor Orthopedic emphasizes that men are also at risk. Men experience gradual bone loss with age, and factors like poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and alcohol use increase their risk.

What to Do:

Men should also undergo bone density screenings if they have risk factors.

Avoid lifestyle habits that weaken bones, such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.

Prioritize strength training and proper nutrition for long-term bone health.

Myth 6: Supplements Can Replace a Healthy Diet

Reality: While supplements can help fill nutrient gaps, Dr. Mansoor Mohammed Kassim stresses that they should not be relied upon as the sole source of bone-supporting nutrients. Whole foods provide essential cofactors and bioavailability that supplements alone cannot match.

What to Do:

Prioritize a nutrient-dense diet with whole foods.

Use supplements only if you lack essential nutrients due to dietary restrictions or deficiencies.

Consult a doctor before taking high-dose supplements.

Myth 7: Running and High-Impact Exercises Are Bad for Bones

Reality: Many people believe that running and high-impact activities increase the risk of fractures. However, Dr. Mansoor Kassim explains that such activities can actually stimulate bone formation and increase bone density. The key is progressive training and proper technique to avoid injury.

What to Do:

Engage in weight-bearing exercises like jogging, brisk walking, and jump rope to build stronger bones.

If you have existing joint issues, consider low-impact exercises like swimming and cycling.

Always warm up properly and listen to your body to prevent stress fractures.

Myth 8: Breaking a Bone Means You’ll Never Recover Fully

Reality: A fracture doesn’t mean permanent disability. Dr. Mansoor Mohammed Kassim emphasizes that with proper medical care, rehabilitation, and lifestyle changes, most people recover fully and regain mobility.

What to Do:

Follow post-fracture rehabilitation protocols with physical therapy.

Consume a high-protein, calcium-rich diet to support healing.

Engage in gradual strength-building exercises once cleared by your doctor.

Conclusion

Bone health is often misunderstood due to widespread myths, leading to avoidable fractures, joint pain, and chronic conditions. Dr. Mansoor Mohammed Kassim encourages people to take proactive steps toward maintaining strong bones through proper nutrition, exercise, and medical screenings. By debunking these myths and embracing science-backed strategies, individuals can protect their skeletal system and enjoy an active, pain-free life.

Maltipoo Growth Chart

Maltipoos are a delightful crossbreed between the Maltese and the Poodle, known for their affectionate nature and adorable teddy bear-like appearance. If you own a Maltipoo or are planning to get one, understanding their growth pattern can help you provide the best care at each stage of their development.

Maltipoo Growth Chart

Below is a general growth chart for a Maltipoo. Keep in mind that each puppy is unique, and growth rates may vary depending on genetics, diet, and overall health. AgeWeight (lbs)Height (inches)1 Month1 - 23 - 52 Months2 - 44 - 63 Months3 - 65 - 74 Months4 - 76 - 85 Months5 - 97 - 96 Months6 - 108 - 107 Months7 - 119 - 118 Months8 - 129 - 129-12 Months9 - 1410 - 14Maltipoo Growth Chart

0-2 Months: New born & Early Puppy Stage

At birth, Maltipoo puppies are tiny and fragile, weighing around 1 to 2 pounds. Their eyes and ears remain closed for the first two weeks, relying solely on their mother’s milk for nutrition. Around 3-4 weeks, they begin to open their eyes, become more aware of their surroundings, and start to wobble around. By 6-8 weeks, they become more active, playful, and curious. At this stage, they should be socialized with gentle human handling and exposed to different sounds and experiences. A well-balanced puppy diet starts to be introduced alongside their mother’s milk.

3-4 Months: Rapid Growth & Development

During this period, Maltipoos experience a growth spurt, reaching about 3 to 7 pounds in weight. They become highly energetic, learning to explore their environment and interact with people and other pets. This is the ideal time to start basic training, including potty training and obedience commands. Teething also begins during this stage, so providing appropriate chew toys is essential. A high-quality diet formulated for small-breed puppies helps support their rapid growth. Also read: Lifespan of Maltipoo

5-6 Months: The Transition Phase

At this stage, your Maltipoo is starting to resemble a mini version of their adult self. Their weight will likely range between 5 to 10 pounds, and their height will increase noticeably. Energy levels are still high, and they require daily exercise and mental stimulation. Training should continue consistently, reinforcing good behaviors and teaching new commands. Since their teeth are still growing in, they may continue to chew on things, so supervision is essential. https://youtu.be/zZHtR_jS0yw?si=lLzplssekhH2bzcg

7-9 Months: Slowing Growth & Maturity

By 7 months, Maltipoos enter their adolescent phase, where growth starts to slow down. They usually weigh between 7 to 12 pounds and may have nearly reached their full height. At this point, their personalities become more defined. Some puppies may test boundaries, so patience and consistent training are key. They also transition to adult food around 9 months, depending on their vet’s recommendations. You may interested: Maltipoo and Bichon frise mix

Top 10 Natural Ways to Boost Your Height

Many people wish they could grow taller, especially during their younger years when growth plates are still active. While genetics play a significant role in determining your final height, there are several natural ways to maximize your potential height growth and improve your posture, which can help you appear taller.

1. Get Enough Sleep

You’ve probably heard that "sleep is important," but did you know it’s especially crucial for height growth? During deep sleep, your body releases growth hormones that are essential for cell repair, muscle recovery, and overall growth. Most of this hormone secretion happens during the night, which is why it’s so important to prioritize quality sleep.

2. Practice Good Posture

A straight posture not only makes you look taller but also helps you utilize your full height potential. Slouching or poor posture compresses your spine and can give the illusion of a shorter stature. By standing tall with your shoulders back and your spine straight, you can instantly add a few inches to your height and reduce strain on your muscles and joints.

3. Stretch Regularly

Stretching exercises, especially those targeting your spine and legs, can help improve flexibility, strengthen muscles, and lengthen your body. Regular stretching can help decompress the spine, improve posture, and encourage better alignment, all of which contribute to the appearance of increased height.

4. Engage in Sports and Physical Activities

Sports and activities that involve jumping, running, and stretching—such as basketball, swimming, or skipping—are excellent ways to promote height growth. These activities engage your bones, muscles, and ligaments, stimulating the growth plates and increasing bone density. They also improve posture and overall body alignment.

5. Maintain a Balanced Diet

A well-balanced diet is essential for supporting healthy growth and development, particularly during the years when your body is actively growing. Proper nutrition provides the necessary vitamins and minerals that play a vital role in bone and tissue health.

Key nutrients for height growth include:

Protein: Builds and repairs tissue. Include lean m eats, eggs, and legumes.

Calcium: Strengthens bones. Include dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified foods.

Vitamin D: Helps your body absorb calcium. Get some sun exposure and eat foods like fish and fortified milk.

Zinc: Supports growth and development. Find it in nuts, seeds, and whole grains.

Iron: Essential for overall health. Get it from spinach, legumes, and red meat.

6. Hanging Exercises

Hanging from a bar is one of the most effective ways to stretch your spine and decompress the vertebrae, which can make you appear taller. This exercise helps elongate the spine and improves flexibility.

7. Strength Training

While cardio and flexibility exercises are great for increasing flexibility and stretching muscles, strength training can also help you grow taller by increasing bone density and overall muscle mass. Building stronger bones and muscles is key to supporting better posture, which in turn helps you appear taller.

8. Yoga for Height Increase

Yoga is a great way to not only increase your flexibility and strength but also to focus on proper posture and alignment. Certain yoga poses can stretch your spine, improve posture, and increase flexibility in the hips, legs, and back, helping to maximize your height potential.

9. Drink Plenty of Water

Staying hydrated is essential for overall health and proper cell function. Water helps your body absorb nutrients, repair tissues, and keep your joints and cartilage healthy. Staying hydrated also prevents your body from becoming dehydrated, which can cause your spine to compress and lead to a shorter appearance.

10. Get Enough Sunlight

Sunlight is a natural source of Vitamin D, which plays a crucial role in bone health and growth. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, an essential mineral for bone strength and density. Exposure to sunlight for about 15-30 minutes each day (depending on skin type) can help you get the necessary amount of Vitamin D.

Conclusion: Unlocking Your Full Height Potential

While you can’t change your genetics, you can still take steps to optimize your natural height growth by following a healthy lifestyle. By focusing on proper nutrition, regular exercise, and adopting habits that improve posture and flexibility, you can maximize your height potential, maintain a healthy body, and even appear taller.

Remember, height isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling confident, strong, and healthy. Whether you're in your growing years or an adult, these natural methods can help you achieve the best version of yourself, both physically and mentally.

Testosterone and Height: Can Hormones Make You Taller?

Do testosterone increase height

Testosterone is a crucial hormone responsible for various physiological changes in the human body. It influences muscle growth, bone density, and overall development. But can Do testosterone increase height? This is a common question among those looking to maximize their growth potential. Let’s explore the role of testosterone in height growth and whether it has a significant impact.

Understanding Growth and Height Development

Height is primarily determined by genetics, but hormones play a vital role in growth. The main hormones involved in height development include human growth hormone (HGH), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and thyroid hormones. These hormones regulate the activity of the growth plates (epiphyseal plates) in bones, which are responsible for height increase during childhood and adolescence.

Testosterone, a primary male sex hormone, surges during puberty and contributes to various physical changes, including the deepening of the voice, muscle development, and bone growth. While testosterone does influence bone growth, its direct role in increasing height is more complex.

How Testosterone Affects Growth Plates

During puberty, testosterone plays a role in stimulating bone growth by promoting the release of growth hormone and IGF-1. This process helps in lengthening bones and contributes to height increase. However, an excess of testosterone can also cause the early closure of growth plates, halting further height growth.

In boys, testosterone levels rise significantly during puberty, leading to rapid growth spurts. But once the growth plates fuse, usually between the ages of 16 to 18, additional height gain is no longer possible, regardless of testosterone levels.

Can Testosterone Therapy Increase Height?

Testosterone therapy is sometimes used to treat delayed puberty in boys, helping to trigger normal growth patterns. However, using testosterone supplements or injections after the growth plates have closed will not increase height. In fact, excessive use of testosterone can lead to premature closure of growth plates, reducing the potential for natural height growth.

For individuals with growth hormone deficiency, HGH therapy is a more effective solution for increasing height rather than testosterone treatment. A doctor can determine the best course of action through medical evaluation and hormone level testing.

Does Testosterone Affect Height in Adults?

Once the growth plates close, usually in the late teenage years, no natural method, including testosterone therapy, can increase height. However, testosterone does contribute to bone health, muscle strength, and posture, which can give the appearance of a taller stature. Additionally, proper exercise, nutrition, and stretching routines can help maintain good posture and optimize overall height appearance.

Natural Ways to Support Height Growth

For those still in their growing years, there are natural ways to support maximum height potential:

Proper Nutrition: A balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals is essential for bone growth.

Regular Exercise: Engaging in activities like swimming, yoga, and stretching exercises can improve posture and flexibility.

Adequate Sleep: Growth hormone is released during deep sleep, making sufficient rest crucial for growth.

Medical Consultation: If there are concerns about delayed growth, seeking medical advice for hormone evaluation is important.

Conclusion

Testosterone plays a role in bone growth during puberty but does not directly increase height beyond a certain age. While it helps in overall development, excessive testosterone can lead to early closure of growth plates, limiting height potential. If you are concerned about height growth, it is best to focus on a healthy lifestyle and consult a medical professional for personalized advice. Understanding how hormones work will help in making informed decisions about growth and development.

Anyway, hair growth is just the modification by which follicles increase in length and width. A hair follicle is a very small cavity of skin from which live those cells by proliferation, lengthening and forming hair fiber. It occurs when the cells divide within the follicle, mature and extend out as filaments of hair. Others have been identified through genes, age, diet, lifestyle, and environment. Generally, the hair grows half an inch per month. Trend of an individual may be different due to his natural behavior and the rate at which it was originally increasing decreases due to his older age. For instance, a man in his twenties grows at one inch per month and, of course, his rate reduces up to 0.5 inch at the end of his sixties.

Every parent wants their child to grow up healthy, strong, and full of energy. But sometimes, even with a good diet, children may not get all the nutrients they need. This is where children growth protein powder can play an important role. It provides essential nutrients that support healthy growth, brain development, and strong immunity. One trusted name in this space is growthformula, a brand known for its safe and effective nutrition supplements for kids.

Understanding the Growth Needs of Children

During childhood, the body goes through rapid physical and mental development. To support this growth, kids need a balanced intake of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Protein is especially important because it helps in building muscles, repairing tissues, and supporting overall development. However, many children are picky eaters or may not get enough protein from their regular meals.

This gap in nutrition can affect their growth rate, energy levels, and even academic performance. In such cases, children growth protein powder becomes a convenient and effective way to ensure they get the necessary protein and other key nutrients.

What Is Children Growth Protein Powder?

Children growth protein powder is a specially formulated supplement designed to meet the nutritional needs of growing children. It usually contains a mix of high-quality proteins, calcium, iron, vitamins (like A, C, D, and B-complex), and minerals such as zinc and magnesium. These nutrients work together to support physical growth, mental alertness, immunity, and strong bones.

A reliable brand like growthformula ensures that the ingredients used are safe, easy to digest, and suitable for kids of different age groups.

Key Benefits of Using Children Growth Protein Powder

1. Supports Physical Growth

Protein helps in muscle building and tissue repair, which is essential for height and weight gain. When children are active in sports or daily play, they need more energy and stronger muscles. Growthformula protein powder helps meet these needs.

2. Boosts Immunity

Vitamins and minerals like zinc, vitamin C, and iron help improve a child’s immune system. A stronger immunity means fewer sick days and better overall health.

3. Enhances Brain Development

Nutrients like omega-3, iron, and B-vitamins are essential for brain growth and cognitive function. They help in improving concentration, memory, and learning abilities.

4. Improves Appetite and Digestion

Some children have poor eating habits or low appetite. A tasty and nutritious children growth protein powder can help increase appetite and improve digestion, so they get more out of the food they eat.

5. Easy and Convenient

Protein powder is easy to mix in milk, water, or smoothies. It saves time and ensures your child gets balanced nutrition even on busy mornings or when they skip meals.

Why Choose growthformula?

Growthformula focuses on safe, natural, and scientifically backed ingredients. Their products are free from harmful preservatives, artificial flavors, and added sugar. They are specially made keeping kids' taste preferences and nutritional needs in mind. When you choose growthformula, you choose a trusted partner in your child’s health journey.

Final Thoughts

Giving your child a strong foundation in health starts with the right nutrition. While a balanced diet is key, adding a quality children growth protein powder can fill nutritional gaps and support complete development. With trusted brands like growthformula, parents can be confident that they are providing the best support for their child’s growth, energy, and future success.

Diet Analysis I am female, 40 years old, and I exercise frequently. My height is 5'5," and my weight is 120 lbs. I undertook the dietary analysis for two days in order to gain more insight into my diet. The diet recorded is indicative of my normal eating habits, and reflects my active lifestyle in its composition. The total number of calories for the two days was 2088. The total number of carbohydrates was 95.16 grams. The total number of fiber was 71.4 grams. The total amount of protein was 190.3 grams and the total amount of fat was 49.7 grams. The macronutrient content of each input must be calculated in order to determine my macronutrient distribution. Carbohydrates contain 4 calories per gram; protein the same and fat is 9 calories per gram. My macronutrients per day were as follows: Fat Fiber Protein Macronutrient distribution (g) Day 1 Macronutrient distribution (g) Day 2 Calories Calories % calories Day 1 21.54% 10.40% 37.14% Day 2 16.38% 17.17% 35.73% The carbohydrates AMDR range is 45-65% of total calories. I am well below that with my consumption. There was a 1/2 cup of brown rice one day and a roll the next day, but my diet has little carbohydrates in general. The AMDR for protein is 10-35%. I am above that on both days, but not by much. The AMDR for fat is 20-35%, and my intake just gets within the range on the first day, but is below the range on the second day. I feel that within the context of my exercise these totals are not unusual nor unexpected. Note: the formulas used were straightforward. The totals for each category were added together for the first two rows. The calories were based on the amount of calories per each type as noted above, so Fat on Day 1 would be 29*9 = 232. This figure would then be divided into the total calories for the day: 232/1077 = 21.54%. 4. My BMR is 1294.5. Using the Harris-Benedict equation, my daily caloric needs are therefore 1294.5 x 1.725 = 2265. This is the amount of calories that I need in order to maintain my weight. Part 2. Overall, the quality of my diet is good, but not great. There are a couple of points of concern, one with the total calories and the other with the macronutrient distribution. In terms of total calories, I am consuming approximately half of what I should be consuming, according to the Harris-Benedict equation and my BMR. This means that with my current intake level and my current exercise regimen, I should experience weight loss. Perhaps more of a concern is that my calorie intake (averaging 1044 calories per day) is below my BMR. This means that even if I had a sedentary lifestyle I would be in a position where I was losing weight, just at a much slower pace. Ideally, I could give myself a boost by adding healthy calories to my diet. I am not sure that I would attempt to double my caloric intake, as I might prefer not to maintain weight but to lose it. In addition, such a change would be quite dramatic and I am unsure how my body would react to doubling my caloric intake. However, an increase of 20% might be beneficial, especially if there are nutritional deficiencies. The other issue that I noticed with my diet is that I was off on two of the three elements of the macronutrient distribution. I eat a lot of protein. While my consumption falls just outside of the AMDR for protein, and I supplement my protein with protein powder, I feel that this is justified given my exercise level. Indeed, if I increased my calorie intake without increasing protein, my protein consumption levels would fall within the AMDR for protein. With carbohydrates, I have generally kept those to a minimum in my diet. Carbohydrates can provide valuable energy, especially for exercise, but they also have a reputation of sticking to people's bodies. My consumption of carbohydrates is therefore below the AMDR for carbs. Given that I need to boost consumption of calories in general, it is reasonable that I do this mainly with carbohydrates. There are ways to do this that will only slightly increase the size of meals, for example adding more brown rice. I would still avoid bread, but could add the healthier, more fibrous carbs like brown rice. Many fat-laden carbs would still be avoided (like tortillas and industrial bread, for example). I found that my consumption of fat is a little bit below the AMDR as well. Certainly if I increase my caloric intake my fat consumption will be below the optimal, throwing my macronutrient distribution out of balance. As a result of this finding, I will perhaps increase my fat content in my diet. I will not add much fat -- my target would be at the bottom end of the AMDR -- but I can do this with a small piece of cheese or some other natural fat content that would boost my protein. I might also consider adding fat via my carbs with either a fatty bread something like that. The key is that I cannot add too much fat to my diet, and if I do it will be something healthy and natural. Overall, this exercise was quite valuable for me. Since I exercise a lot, my diet reflects that, and I have generally been seeking the right balance for myself in terms of diet and exercise. Knowing what I know now, I can make some adjustments to perhaps optimize my food consumption. I would like to be able to sustain over the long run a high level of energy along with being able to maintain a healthy weight, allowing myself the flexibility to lose a little bit of weight should I so desire. I feel that these tools are providing me with good insight into the things that I am doing, and the things that I can change in order to make improvements to my diet.   https://www.paperdue.com/customer/paper/diet-analysis-i-am-female-40-years-87197#:~:text=Logout-,DietAnalysisIamfemale40years,-Length4pages Read the full article
