Journal Journal: Workforce nutrition: an optimal approach
Abstract: The body of a human worker needs regular supply of carbohydrates and proteins to sustain service activity. The need for animal protein in diet is the most important limit of worker body cost efficiency, additionally presenting heavy environmental load. The life time of a worker body is divided into revenue-generating workspan and cost-generating, unproductive postworkspan (retirement period). We review historical solutions, including the most promissing 3 year continuous low-nutrition workforce diet trial (Mengele, et. al). Based on existing data, we propose a novel age-dependent dietary approach which maximizes the workspan, shortening the postworkspan. In our scheme, the work is extracted at the rate only slightly above the body homeostasis level provided by protein-rich nutrition at the start of workspan (when the feeding costs are covered by body's parents), with the load gradually increasing towards the retirement. The old body's aminoacid deficits are compensated for by carry-over from adolescence. The increased workload in later stage decreases the length of the unproductive postworkspan. Limited protein intake later in the service opens new possibilities for extracting additional revenues from the worker body. (Terlih A., Guchashwili J.V., Shub G., Tenochip A.
