Health food is food considered beneficial to health in ways that go ___MASK23___ a normal healthy diet required for human nutrition . No human being being the same as any other , different dietary practices can be considered healthy by different people . Barley (" Hordeum vulgare " L .), a member of the grass ___MASK76___ , is a major cereal grain grown in temperate climates globally . It was one of the first cultivated grains , particularly in Eurasia as early as 13 , 000 years ago . Barley has been used as animal fodder , as a source of fermentable material for beer and certain distilled beverages , and as a component of various health foods . It is used in soups and stews , and in barley bread of various cultures . Barley grains are commonly made into malt in a traditional and ancient method of preparation . Fodder , a type of ___MASK38___ feed , is any agricultural foodstuff used specifically to feed domesticated livestock , such as cattle , goats , sheep , horses , chickens and pigs . " Fodder " refers particularly to food given to ___MASK21___ ( including plants cut and carried to them ), rather than that which they forage for themselves ( called forage ). Fodder is also called provender and includes hay , straw , silage , compressed and pelleted feeds , oils and mixed rations , and sprouted grains and legumes ( such as bean sprouts , fresh malt , or spent malt ). Most ___MASK38___ feed is from plants , but some manufacturers add ingredients to processed feeds that are of ___MASK38___ origin . George Douglas Hutton Bell FRS ( 18 October 1905 - 27 June 1993 ) was an English scientist . He was awarded the first Mullard Award in 1967 `` for the contribution the Proctor barley bred by him had made to agricultural production in the United Kingdom '' . Beer is the world ' ___MASK16___ oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic drink ; it is the third most popular drink overall , after water and tea . The production of beer is called brewing , which involves the fermentation of starches , mainly derived from cereal grains  most commonly malted barley , although wheat , maize ( corn ), and rice are widely used . Most beer is flavoured with hops , which add bitterness and act as a natural preservative , though other flavourings such as herbs or fruit may occasionally be included . The fermentation process causes a natural carbonation effect , although this is often removed during processing , and replaced with forced carbonation . Some of humanity ' ___MASK16___ earliest known writings refer to the production and distribution of beer : the Code of Hammurabi included laws regulating beer and beer parlours , and " The Hymn to Ninkasi ", a prayer to the Mesopotamian goddess of beer , served as both a prayer and as a method of remembering the recipe for beer in a culture with few literate people . Eurasia is the combined continental landmass of ___MASK91___ and ___MASK22___ . The term is a portmanteau of its constituent continents . Located primarily in the Northern and Eastern Hemispheres , it is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west , the Pacific Ocean to the east , the Arctic Ocean to the north , and by Africa , the Mediterranean Sea , and the Indian Ocean to the south . The division between ___MASK91___ and ___MASK22___ as two different continents is a historical and cultural construct , with no clear physical separation between them ; thus , in some parts of the world , Eurasia is recognized as the largest of five or six continents . In geology , Eurasia is often considered as a single rigid megablock . However , the rigidity of Eurasia is debated based on the paleomagnet data . Malt is germinated cereal grains that have been dried in a process known as " malting ". The grains are made to germinate by soaking in water , and are then halted from germinating further by drying with hot air . Malting grains develops the enzymes required for modifying the grain ' ___MASK16___ starches into various types of sugar , including the monosaccharide glucose , the disaccharide maltose , the trisaccharide maltotriose , and higher sugars called maltodextrines . It also develops other enzymes , such as proteases , which break down the proteins in the grain into forms that can be used by yeast . Depending on when the malting process is stopped one gets a preferred starch enzyme ratio and partly converted starch into fermentable sugars . Malt also contains small amounts of other sugars , such as sucrose and fructose , which are not products of starch modification but were already in the grain . Further conversion to fermentable sugars is achieved during the mashing process . The Mullard Award is awarded annually by the ___MASK30___ to a person who has " an outstanding academic record in any field of natural science , engineering or technology and whose contribution is currently making or has the potential to make a contribution to national prosperity in Britain ." It was established in 1967 , and has been awarded to more people at once than any other ___MASK30___ medal , with five individuals receiving the award in 1970 . The award is a silver gilt medal , which comes with a £ 2 , 000 prize and a £ 1 , 500 grant to be used for travel and attending conferences . The President , Council and Fellows of the ___MASK30___ of London for Improving Natural Knowledge , commonly known as the ___MASK30___ , is a learned society for science and is possibly the oldest such society still in existence . Founded in November 1660 , it was granted a royal charter by King Charles II as " The ___MASK30___ ". The Society is the United Kingdom ' s and Commonwealth of Nations ' Academy of Sciences and fulfills a number of roles ; promoting science and its benefits , recognising excellence in science , supporting outstanding science , providing scientific advice for policy , fostering international and global cooperation , education and public engagement . The society is governed by its Council , which is chaired by the Society ' s President , according to a set of statutes and standing orders . The members of Council and the President are elected from and by its Fellows , the basic members of the society , who are themselves elected by existing Fellows . As of 2016 , there are about 1 , 600 fellows , allowed to use the postnominal title FRS ( Fellow of the ___MASK30___ ), with up to 52 new fellows appointed each year . There are also royal fellows , honorary fellows and foreign members , the last of which are allowed to use the postnominal title ForMemRS ( Foreign Member of the ___MASK30___ ). The ___MASK30___ President is Venkatraman Ramakrishnan , who took up the post on November 30 , 2015 .
