..."I want to convince you that the conventional wisdom about weight gain is wrong," declared Gary Taubes. The idea that eating too much and exercising too little is the culprit is, he said, "as obsolete as the belief that the sun rotates around the earth." Thus began the most revolutionary presentation in the five-year history of the Nutrition and Health Conference, an annual three-day event co-sponsored by the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine (founded by Dr. Weil in 1994). Held most recently in Phoenix, Arizona in April of 2008, it attracted some 500 health care professionals from around the world, and the packed house at Arizona Grand Resort made it clear that Taubes was a headliner. The writer, trained in applied physics at Harvard and aerospace engineering at Stanford, specializes in parsing hot science controversies in articles and books (such as 1993's Bad Science: The Short Life and Weird Times of Cold Fusion). He is widely credited with kicking off the national low-carb diet trend with his July 2002 New York Times Magazine article, What If It's All Been a Big, Fat Lie? In 2007, he published Good Calories, Bad Calories: Challenging the Conventional Wisdom on Diet, Weight Control and Disease, a book that led the New York Times to assert that "Gary Taubes is a brave and bold science journalist" who shows that "much of what is believed about nutrition and health is based on the flimsiest evidence." Taubes' message: political pressure and sloppy science over the last...

...The differences between Regular and Diet soda When drinking soda whether it be regular or diet, did you ever wonder which one was healthier? To help you understand a little better I chose two types of fountain drinks; Mountain Dew and Diet. With this information it should open your eyes to what diabetics go through on a day to day basis. Did you ever wonder why it is so important that diabetics drink diet and never regular? Well, the reason they drink it is because it has less sugar. In diet there is absolutely no sugars compared to regular. In comparison regular contains forty-six grams of sugar, which is a lot for a diabetic to intake. Although they have to count their sugar intake they also have to watch how many carbohydrates they ingest. With diet there is zero total carbs as to regular that has forty-six grams of total carbs, which turns into sugar as the body breaks it down. Although both taste great and many prefer regular to diet, it’s not always the healthier choice. Regular has many sugars that can actually damage your teeth and organs, especially in diabetics. In both of these drinks there is fifty-four milligrams of a highly addictive substance called caffeine. While some caffeine in certain drinks like coffee and tea can be helpful to the body, the caffeine in soda however can hurt your body. When diabetics consume a lot of it in one sitting it reduces their insulin sensitivity, which their body doesn’t make enough of. It raises their blood sugar level to the...

...Agave may be one of the most popular natural sweeteners today, but its rise in popularity in the U.S. didn’t begin until around 2003. Now it’s commonly used as an alternative to sugar, honey, or maple syrup for cooking, baking, and sweetening everything from coffee to oatmeal. Agave nectar (or syrup) is produced from the agave plant – the same plant used to make tequila. It tastes similar to honey with a hint of molasses and is manufactured by extracting the juice from the plant’s core, which is then filtered, heated or treated with enzymes and concentrated until it becomes a syrupy liquid. Proponents of this natural sweetener claim that it’s a healthy alternative to sugar, honey, and other sweeteners because of its low glycemic index. It’s advertised as ideal for people who are watching their weight or folks with diabetes who are working to lower their blood sugar levels. But before you add agave nectar to your grocery list, here’s what the heck you need to know. Agave nectar contains up to 90 percent fructose. That’s significantly more than table sugar, which is 50 percent fructose (and 50 percent glucose) once it’s broken down by your body. Agave’s high fructose content gives it advantages and disadvantages. The good part first: Because fructose has a low glycemic index, agave doesn’t cause your blood sugars to spike as rapidly after eating it, which means it can temper the sugar rush that occurs after eating something sweet. And even though agave and white sugar contain...

...Psychology and Health Issues Program Review HCA/250 University of Phoenix Tinia C Allen For my final project I have chosen diabetes. It’s the disease that I feel I know the most about. Most of my family members suffer from the disease and some of them have died from it. I also had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant with my daughter. I have read several books on the subject and have learned a lot from my mother who was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes 5 years ago. Since my mother was diagnosed I have started to change my diet and exercise a lot more than I use to. There were several things I learned during this project that I wasn’t aware of and I would like to share those with you. According to the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE), many diabetics experience similar stages as that of bereavement. (Diabetes.co.uk,2012) Because a chronic diagnosis such as diabetes signifies the loss of health, many individuals suffering from this condition are subjected to periods of denial, a sense of hopelessness, anger, and frustration following diagnosis. There is a fear of long term complications and commitment. Many have a difficult time coping with the lifestyle changes associated with this disorder. They struggle to understand the relationship that food has on their health and find it difficult to stay compliant with dietary restrictions. The overwhelming fear of needles causes anxiety and an unrelenting need to avoid fingers...

...INTRODUCTION In 1987, the Austrian, Dietrich Mateschitz, in partnership with Thai businessman, Chaleeo Yoovidya, invented an energy drink called Krating Daeng also known as Red Bull. In terms of market shares, Red Bull is the most popular energy drink in the world with 4.5 billion cans sold each year. And it holds 70% share of the world market for energy drinks or functional beverages a category it was largely responsible for building. Marketing is aimed to hip young people with active lifestyle. Over the years, Red Bull hits foreign market and expanded from the U.S. markets to the southern hemisphere via South Africa and Brazil. And in 2002, Red Bull opened a regional headquarters in Dubai. Red Bull’s worldwide sales were estimated at Eur. 1.4 billion ($1.32billion) in 2002. The company expanded into the neighboring countries like Hungary and Slovania in 1992. And in 1994 it was introduced in Germany and it’s claiming a quarter of the sports drink market there, putting ahead of Gatorade. It was priced as much as a can of coca-cola. Then it entered the U.K. where it marketed there as Red Bull stimulation after 1996. Background In 1984 Mateschitz founded Red Bull. Red Bull Energy Drink was first sold on the Austrian market in 1987. Red Bull reached its first foreign markets in 1989 in Singapore and in 1992 in Hungary. In 2008 Red Bull created its own cola, Red Bull Simply Cola. It created a market segment unlike traditional colas, by using only 100% natural ingredients...

He adds that a diabetes diet should "have at least two seasonal fruits and three vegetables in a diet plan." Though dry fruits may seem like a healthy snack, it is not a good option for diabetics, as the fructose can spike your sugar level. Go for fresh fruits rather than dry fruits for diabetes control (but there are some restrictions... we'll come to it). But you can still opt for nuts as a healthy snack. The doctor shares his recipe for diabetes diet for Indians: ================================================ - One teaspoon of methi seeds soaked overnight in 100 ml of water is very effective in controlling diabetes. - Drink tomato juice with salt and pepper every morning on an empty stomach. - Intake of 6 almonds (soaked overnight) is also helpful in keeping a check on diabetes. Rekha Sharma, President and Director of Indian Dietetic Association, shares some major diabetes diet pointers that one should follow at home or at a restaurant. Whole grains, oats, channa atta, millets and other high fibre foods should be included in the meals. If one feels like consuming pasta or noodles, it should always be accompanied with vegetable/sprouts. Milk is the right combination of carbohydrates and proteins and helps control blood sugar levels. Two servings of milk in a daily diet is a good option. ...

...Notes. Active transport: The movement of substances from an area of low to high concentration. Active transport allows cells to absorb ions from very dilute solutions It also allows the movement of substances such as sugars and ions from one place to another through the cell membranses. It takes energy for the system to carry a molecule across a membrane and return it to its original position. This energy comes from cellular respiration. The rate of respiration and te rate of active transport are closely linked. Osmosis and diffusion depend on a concentration gradient in the right direction to work. Substnaces are moved against a concentration gradient by active transport, which uses energy produced by mitochondria. THE SPORTS DRINK DILEMMA. When you exercise, you release energy (by respiration) to make your muscles contract. you sweat to maintain a constant body temp. (sweat contains water and mineral ions). the more you sweat,the more water and mineral ions you lose. This affects the concentraion of your body fluids. If they become concentrated, water will leave your cells (by osmosis). The cells become dehydrated. If the water and mineral ions you lose in your sweat aren’t replaced, the miner ion and water balance of your body will be disturbed and your cells will not work as effiently as usual. Sports drinks are mainly water. They contain sugar (usually glucose). It also contains more mineral ions than most normal soft drinks. It also contains colourings...

...Dextrin Dextrin is actually a name for a type of low molecular weight carbohydrates. Dextrins are produced by enacting the process of hydrolysis on starches. Hydrolysis involves splitting water up into its basic components and allowing those components to attach to other molecules. There are several types of Dextrin and they have related formulas. They are produced through acidic hydrolysis performed on potato starches. And, they are soluble in water. Some dextrin react with iodine to give a blue color and is soluble in 25% alcohol (called amylodextrin); others a reddish-brown color and soluble in 55% alcohol (called erythrodextrin); and still others yield no color at all with iodine and soluble in 70% alcohol (called achrodextrin Commercial dextrin Any of various soluble polysaccharides obtained from starch by the application of heat or acids and used mainly as adhesives and thickening agents. High-grade dextrins are prepared by heating starch which has been moistened with a smallquantity of dilute nitric acid and dried,at 110-115c.the product is known as white dextrin.inferior dextrin,which have a yellow or brown colour ,are prepared by roasting starch at 150-250c without tthe addition of acid. White dextrin may contain up to 15% of soluble starch,the remainder consisting largely of erythrodextrin. Yellow dextrins are more completely hydrolysed and, unlike th ewhite variety, containappreciable quantities of maltose,which may be detyected and estimated by means...

...No.10 Food Tests Carbohydrates (Sugars and Starches) Reducing Sugars. The reducing sugars include all monosaccharides, Such as glucose and fructose, and some disaccharides, such as maltose. Use 0.1 – 1% sugar solutions. Test for reducing sugar: Benedicts test: Add 2 cm3 of a solution of the reducing sugar to a test tube. Add an equal volume of benedicts solution. Shake and bring gently to the boil, shaking continuously to minimise spitting. Observation: The initial blue coloration of the mixture turns green, then yellowish and may finally form a brick red precipitate. Basis of test: Benedicts solution contains copper sulphate. Reducing sugars reduce soluble blue copper sulphate containing copper (II) ions (Cu2+) to insoluble red - brown copper oxide containing copper (I). The latter is seen as a precipitate. Non- Reducing sugars. Non reducing sugars, the most common non reducing sugars is sucrose, a disacchriade. If reducing sugars have been shown to be absent (negative result in a above test) a brick red precipitate in the test below indicates the presence of a non reducing sugar. If reducing sugars have been shown to be present, a heavier precipitate will be observed in the following test than with the reducing test if non reducing sugar is also present. Tests for non reducing sugar: Add 2 cm3 of sucrose solution to a test tube. Add 1 cm3 dilute Hydrochloric acid. Boil for 1 minute. Carefully neutralise with sodium hydrogencarbonate...

...The product that was marketed in week 1 was a smart phone glucose monitor. This product was advertised on television and seemed to target a younger crowd. The advertisement showed a young man easily using the device. The young man tested his blood glucose with an AccuCheck monitor and then inserted the test strip into a small device that plugged directly into his smart phone. The man had an application open on his phone that showed the results of his test. This application seemed fairly sophisticated and even kept a record of the users test results. This is a really great, convenient product for those who need to monitor their blood sugar levels. This particular advertisement seemed to market a younger, more electronically savvy generation. Because the older population sixty years plus, have the highest number of diabetes, I think it would be ideal to remarket this product more focused on this generation. A television commercial would still be a great way to target the older generation, but the commercial would need to show an elderly man using his smart phone. Perhaps the commercial can quickly show that the man is not technically savvy, but after being shown how to use the product and the application he could easily do it himself thereafter. While a revised television commercial focusing on the older population is a good way to market this product, I believe that the best way to market this would be to have booths and demonstrations set-up at various pharmacies.

...Unit 5Anatomy and physiology for Health and Social Care P5Explain the concept of homeostasis with reference to the control of heart rate, breathing rate, body temperature and blood glucose levels. In this assignment I will be explaining the concept of homeostasis with reference to the control of heart rate, breathing rate, body temperature and bloody glucose levels. Firstly, I will start this assignment off by explaining what homeostasis is. Homeostasis is the tendency toward a relatively stable equipoise between symbiotic elements, especially as maintained by functional processes. http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&q=homeostasis&tbs=dfn:1&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=sIhIUfPzGeiW0QWa5oHACw&sqi=2&ved=0C CwQkQ4&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&fp=4e753e884ed8bf36&biw=884&bih=537 A simple illustration of homeostasis is when we get really cold in winter, our body starts to shiver and by shivering the body maintains heat and warm us up. Another example may be that an individual may feel hot from doing an intense workout or simply walking in really hot heat, our bodies maintain homeostasis by sweating, this helps us to cool down and maintain body temperature. Negative feedback is the mechanism in which the body sustains conditions within specific perimeters. The body does this by conflicting an alteration that deviates from the norm. In other words, deviation produces negative responses to counteract the deviation. Metabolism is the amount of all the chemical reactions occurring in a specific order...
