in our diet.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Rhodopsin is responsible for sending signals to the brain through the optic nerve to increase its production so that the eye can be able to process images in low light effectively. Rhodopsin receptor protein is produced from vitamin A, which makes the deficiency in vitamin A the most common cause for night blindness.

Processed foods are generally refined and a majority of them are rich in fat or in salt/sugar, and are calorie dense. They lack dietary fibre and micronutrients. Thus, caution needs to be exercised when processed foods constitute a major part of the meal. Breakfast cereals are increasingly being used in urban areas.

Fish is a low-fat high quality protein. Fish is filled with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins such as D and B2 (riboflavin). Fish is rich in calcium and phosphorus and a great source of minerals, such as iron, zinc, iodine, magnesium, and potassium.

Foods rich in vitamins and minerals are referred to as protective foods as they provide immunity and protect our body from various diseases and infections. All fruits and vegetables as well as dairy products are examples of protective foods.

Persistent lack of vitamin C in your diet can lead to a condition called scurvy. Symptoms of scurvy include easy bruising, easy bleeding and joint and muscle pains. Vitamin C deficiency can be treated with supplements of vitamin C and a diet rich in vitamin C.

Vitamin D deficiency can lead to a loss of bone density, which can contribute to osteoporosis and fractures (broken bones). Severe vitamin D deficiency can also lead to other diseases. In children, it can cause rickets. Rickets is a rare disease that causes the bones to become soft and bend
