Answer 1

(a)Functions of iron

-Iron is required for the creation of blood. Around 70% of your immune system iron is contained in red blood cells known hemoglobin and muscle cells termed myoglobin. Hemoglobin is required for the delivery of oxygen from the lungs to the tissues in your bloodstream.

- Anemia caused by a lack of iron is known as iron deficiency anemia. Lacking adequate iron, your body cannot make sufficient of a component in red blood cells that allows them to carry oxygen (hemoglobin). As an outcome, iron deficiency anemia can make you weary and low of breath.

Functions of Iron

- Iron aids in the oxygenation of the blood.

-Iron aids in the conversion of blood sugar to energy.

(b)Dietary consideration for an adolescent.

-Include plenty of veggies, beans, and fruits in your diet.

-Eat plenty of wholegrain carbohydrates (particularly breads, rice, pasta, and noodles).

-Include fatty meat, fish, poultry, and or substitutes.

-Include homogenized milk, yoghurts, cheeses, and or substitutes.

-As a beverage, select water.

(c)Importance of breast milk

-Breast milk promotes your baby's health.

-It safeguards from allergies, illness, and obesity. 

-It guards against diseases such as diabetes and cancer. It guards against ailments such as ear infections. 

-It is simply digestible 

 (d)Clinical features of vitamin D deficiency

-Fatigue.

-Bone pain.

- Muscle pains and cramps are all symptoms of muscle weakening.

-Mood swings, such as depression

(e)Fluorosis

- Fluorosis is a disorder in which the look of tooth enamel changes. It is possible that it will occur if youngsters, aged 8 and under, take fluoride on a frequent basis during their teeth-forming years.

How can one Get Rid of White Spots?

 

Microabrasion of the enamel. To make the whitish patches less obvious, your dentist will remove a small portion of natural porcelain from your teeth.

Whitening of the teeth.

Veneers made of porcelain.

(f)Spectrum of Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD)

-Diseases on the spectrum comprise goiter, cretinism, hypothyroidism, brain damage, abortion, stillbirth, mental retardation, psychomotor abnormalities, and auditory and speech impairment2.

--Diseases on the spectrum comprise goiter, cretinism, hypothyroidism, brain harm, abortion, stillbirth, mental retardation, psychomotor abnormalities, and auditory and speech impairment2. The majority of IDD's consequences are hidden and irreparable, although they can be avoided.

(g)Lathyrism

 - One of the first documented neurotoxic illnesses is lathyrism. Less grass pea (200 g per day) did not result in dandruff.

(h)Beri-Beri

Beriberi is a condition caused by a lack of vitamin B-1.

(i)Pasteurization of milk

- Pasteurized milk is raw milk that has deliberately boiled to a specific temperature and length of time in order to kill microorganisms that may be present in raw milk. Infectious agents are microorganisms that cause illness, such as bacteria. All milk sold to the general public is required by law to be pasteurized and processed at an authorized cow facility.

(j)Ariboflavinosis

- This is a malnutrition condition marked by mouth blisters caused by insufficient riboflavin consumption.

(k)Oral Re hydration Therapy

- Oral rehydration therapist is a dehydration medication. It entails taking a particular blend of water, glucose, and salts to restore regular levels of fluids, carbohydrates, and electrolytes in the system. (l)Advantages of breast feeding and infant

- Breastfeeding reduces your baby's chances of developing asthma or allergens. Furthermore, newborns who are purely breastfeed for the first 6 months, excluding the use of formula, have less ear infections, respiratory ailments, and bouts of diarrhea. They also have less illnesses and doctor visits.

(m) Dehydration and its management

- Extreme dehydration can be handled with intravenous fluids till the victim regains consciousness i.e., circulating blood volume is restored. 20 mL per kilogram of isotonic crystalloid should be administered over 10 to 15 minutes.
