I plan to use my nutrition coach certification to work in the sports dietetics field. With enough practices, I would be able to pass the examination in the sports dietetics since I am experienced in sports. My ability to pursue another medical specialty will enable me to be a diabetes educator in the sports dietetics and other fields...

Peristalsis helps to mix the food in the stomach. Once it is well mixed, it moves into the small intestine in the form of the chime. The food passes...

This can be attested by the ever-growing prevalence of obesity, hypertensive cases, heart disease, and diabetes among the American populace. While Dr. Lustig proposes that people should reduce their sugar consumption to about 150 calories among men and 100 calories among women (steinway135).

While it is easy to point fingers at the sugar industry,...

This order contains a large number of insects which are found in almost any habitat. They are distinguished from other insects by their chewing mouthparts. Their forewings are converted into hardened elytra. Hind wings are folded lengthwise across and under the elytra. They exhibit simple metamorphosis marked by four life stages. These are the egg, larva, pupa, and adult (Bouchard, 10). Examples include scarab beetles, dung beetles, black beetles and pill beetles. This study aims at revealing physical capabilities of beetles. This is based...
