Mnemonics On Nutrition PDF
Hey guys!
These are some mnemonics I made on nutrition which is a part of my Preventive & Social Medicine (also
known as Community Medicine).
We'll keep updating this section.
Please, please, please feel free to add your mnemonics as well ^__^
Limiting aminoacids:
Cereal proteins (corn, wheat) are deficient in Lysine & Threonine.
I remember the word "CuLT" for this
Random fact: Significant proportions of lysine are found in soyabeans.
Pulse proteins are deficient in Methionine.
Mnemonic: PM
Exam question: I was asked which aminoacids are limiting in groundnuts in my practical exam. I read
online that three aminoacids are particularly low - Lysine, Threonine and Methionine.. I don't have a
mnemonic but make sure you remember this!
B vitamins
posted in Uncategorized
If you are like me, you probably have to resort to google every time you come across the B
vitamins. I finally got fed up enough to make a memory aid for the purpose of remembering
which B vitamin is which, in ascending order. Since B12 is found in meat products, the
mnemonic tells the story of a chef ordering his sous-chef around over a plate of ribs. :)
These: Thiamine = B1
Ribs: Riboflavin = B2
Need: Niacin = B3
Pyle: Pyridoxine = B6
Boy: Biotin = B7
Faster: Folate = B9
