Search Results - Nutrient

Type in a word or phrase to search:

A nutrient is food or chemicals that an organism needs to live and grow or a substance used in an organism's metabolism which must be taken in from its environment. Non-autotrophic organisms typically acquire nutrients by the ingestion of foods. Methods for nutrient intake vary, with animals and protists having an internal digestive system, but plants externally digesting nutrients before ingesting them. The effects of nutrients are dose-dependent.

Organic nutrients include carbohydrates, fats, proteins (or their building blocks, amino acids), and vitamins. Inorganic chemical compounds such as minerals; water and oxygen may also be considered nutrients. A nutrient is essential to an organism if it cannot be synthesized by the organism in sufficient quantities and must be obtained from an external source. Nutrients needed in relatively large quantities are called macronutrients and those needed in relatively small quantities are called micronutrients.

See healthy diet for more information on the role of nutrients in human nutrition.

The remaining vitamins, minerals, or elements, are called micronutrients because they are required in relatively small quantities.

Under these controlled conditions, the plants grow faster. Hydroponics systems are, simply put, a method of indoor growing plants using a mineral nutrient solution instead of just a soil.

7. Raw Food: Why The Raw Food Diet
August 07, 2008

Because cooking takes so many nutrients and vitamins OUT of food, you automatically start feeding your body what it needs when you stop cooking food and start eating uncooked, nutrient-rich foods. A raw carrot has exponentially more nutrition than a cooked carrot. Cooking also alters the chemistry of foods, often making them harder to digest. Why do we have so many digestive problems in this country? Because we’re putting foods into our bodies in a form that we weren’t designed to absorb. High fiber, high water content fresh produce abolishes constipation of the bowels, cells and circula... (read more)

July 31, 2008

SIX COMMON TYPES OF HYDROPONICS SYSTEM In a soil garden, plants are rooted in the soil and draw nutrients from it. In hydroponics, a nutrient rich solution is fed directly to the plant roots. In some hydroponic growing systems an inert growing medium, such as rockwool is used in place of soil. These growing mediums are porous and absorb the nutrient solution, allowing the plants to use it as needed. In other hydroponic systems, like the NFT system, no growing medium is used and the plant roots are suspended in a grow channel. Wick system The Wick system is by far the si... (read more)

23. The Top Supplements for Muscle Building: Choosing a Multi-Vitamin
July 23, 2008

By now you have probably heard about the benefits of taking a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement.

While I wholeheartedly agree with the premise behind recommending a multi-vitamin/mineral as one of the top muscle building supplements, I believe that simply recommending that you take a multi isn’t enough. ...

24. Hydroponics Nutrients
July 17, 2008

In a traditionally grown plant, It gets its nutrients from the soil. The soil holds nutrients that are leached from rocks and minerals in the soil, as well as minerals from animal waste, and decomposed plant and animal matter. These minerals are then transferred into water in the soil, and the water is absorbed by the plant roots. For hydroponics this concept is the same, only the execution is different. Rather than soil holding nutrient-rich moisture, a Nutrient-rich solution is applied to the roots either directly, or by means of a growing medium. A drawback to this type of system is th...
