For decades researcher and nutritionists have been advocating low-fat and low-cholesterol diet. This approach has been touted as a preferred way of losing weight and a way of preventing or controlling heart and other chronic diseases. As a consequence food companies tailored their products to be low in fat, and substituted them with salt, sugar or refined grains to make up for flavor or texture . However, this theory is being given a fresh look. In the 1960s, fats and carbohydrates provide 45% of calories to the Americans adults, and still only 13% of them were obese. Today while Americans ...

Introduction

Obesity and overweight have been classified as global and serious conditions that have an adverse effect on the human health. Obesity and overweight conditions are defined as excessive or abnormal accumulation of fat that may negatively affect health. In adults the obesity and overweight are measured by the body mass index (BMI), which is simple weight-for-height index (WHO, 2014). The BMI is computed by the ratio of the individual's body weight to the square of body height, indicated in Kg/m2 (WHO, 2014). According to W.H.O., (World Health Organisation), a BMI equal or above 25 is considered as overweight while ...

The reputation of carbs (carbohydrates) has fluctuated over the last couple of years. Some carbs have been promoted as a healthful nutrients while others have been touted as feared food of fad diet. Despite the varying views out there, it would be worth noting that carbs are not bad in themselves.
Over time, people have come up with a myth that carbs are fattening and this have been perpetuated throughout the society. However, from the nutritionists’ perspective carbs are not fattening and are not high in calories. The calories in the carbs are as high or as low as ...

In numerous ways, the human body can be regarded as chemical dispensation plant. In that, chemicals are ingested, processed via a variety of types of reactions, and then dispensed all over the body to be utilized instantaneously or accumulated for later utility. These chemicals utilized by the body can be separated into two wide groups: the macronutrients, those that we require frequently and in great quantities, and micronutrients, those that we require merely in small amounts. Among the macronutrients, there are three major classes necessary to living organisms: carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

The use of fat in the context of athletics remains one of the most equivocal topics across various parts of the globe. This is because there exists varied opinions on the efficiency of fats in enhancing performance of endurance athletes. Nonetheless, the arguments postulated by those in support and in opposition of the use of fats in athletics are justified in a number of ways. Those in support of the use of high fat diets to enhance the performance of endurance athletes postulate that high fat diets proved a more concentrated form of energy, which is certainly crucial during ...

The relationship between adequate nutrition and endurance amongst athletes has been well documented. Precisely, the nutrients requirements for athletes vary from those of normal individuals because they engage in highly strenuous athletic activities that require significant amounts of energy. On a similar note, athletic activities results in an increase in the utilization of various energy sources. Carbohydrates in the form of glycogen stored in the muscles are broken down during periods of intense exercise to provide energy. Similarly, fats stores in the adipose tissues are broken down to provide the energy needed to sustain athletic activities. In a nutshell, ...

A balanced diet refers to the food intake, which incorporates all the dietary needs of an organism in the right proportions. This is unlike the adequate diet, which includes the energy that is sufficient energy for the need of an individual. A balanced diet, therefore, includes both sufficient energy as well as all the dietary requirements that are needed by an individual at the right proportion. The main components that make up a balanced diet include carbohydrate, proteins, vitamins, fats, dietary fiber, water and minerals. Carbohydrates as a source of nutrients in the body are usually broken ...

Cases of diabetes are currently on the rise yet most of them are preventable while some can even be reversed if people adopt healthy lifestyles. Taking steps to control or prevent diabetes is not a deprivation of diet, as many would think, but it is a step taken to control glucose intake in the body, which result to rise in insulin levels. Eating right should be a concern whether one is diagnosed with diabetes or not, and being diabetic does not mean that one cannot eat right. Diabetes involves a lot of changes in the diet, which many consider ...

Obesity

We have all heard about the growing epidemic of obesity from our parents, teachers, and even our government. According to a recent study, about a quarter of two to five year olds and one-third of children are overweight or obese in the U.S. (Ogden et al., 2014). There is a wide array of factors which play a role in children becoming overweight or obese. Genetics, along with behavioral, social, cultural, environmental influences, can create an environment conducive for obesity. Environmental factors include great amount of exposure to advertising that encourages food consumption and promotes unhealthy foods, technological advances or ...

Introduction

In previous decades, epidemics were associated entirely with communicable diseases. However, a recent global phenomenon is the significant rise in incidence of chronic diseases linked to individual lifestyles. Unhealthy diet, inadequate physical activity, smoking, and alcohol intake all play a role in initiating the physiologic changes that lead to the development and progression of lifestyle-related conditions including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer (Strychar, Elisha & Schmitz, 2012). These are the top causes of death in populations as reported by many countries.
Because of the association with lifestyle factors, such illnesses are largely preventable but require complex management once ...

Diabetes Facts

What is diabetes? It is a chronic condition, characterized by excessive amounts of blood sugar or glucose. Its full name is diabetes mellitus, although for the remainder of this paper the commonly used name diabetes will be used. When there is too much glucose in the blood – a condition known as hyperglycemia – glucose finds its way into the urine, which gave rise to the term “sweet urine.” (Stöppler and Shiel (Ed.), 2012).
Glucose – in addition to being a simple sugar contained in various foods – is also a nutrient essential to the normal functioning of cells in the body. ...

Nutrition is an indispensable component of care. It is from food intake that the body obtains the micro and macro nutrients needed to maintain and improve health. Diet is also an area of regulation for the management of chronic diseases such as diabetes. Care plans focused on nutrition necessarily must be individualized to take into account unique needs arising from specific medical conditions, the client’s developmental stage, and cultural preferences. Developing a care plan entails evaluating for nutritional risk, defining the goals of nutrition therapy, identifying interventions and expected outcomes, implementing the interventions, providing education, and promoting safety.
