Abstract:

Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to characterize the food environment of an informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya according to the obesogenic properties and spatial distribution of informal food vendors. Methods From July 15 to August 9, 2019, we identified 524 vendors in the informal settlement of Kibera. Guided by the NOVA classification system for food processing, we dichotomized foods sold into categories of high- vs. low-risk and protective vs. non-protective with respect to their propensity to promote weight gain. Then, we classified vendors into obesogenic risk groups

Background: All foods are imported to markets in smaller islands in the Caribbean. Before export of foods to these destinations, the foods are subjected to several preservative procedures like irradiation, pesticide spray and prolonged refrigeration etc., to last the extended transport periods. This reduces availability of protective elements and the nutrient contents of the foods to scanty levels, especially to common people with low and middle incomes. Hence the majority of people in these categories on the small islands become vulnerable to ill health.Aims and Objectives: To assess 1. Food

Abstract:

Chronic health conditions related to diet are linked with increased risk for COVID-19 infection, complications, and mortality. Adherence to a healthy diet pattern can be protective, but a major barrier to healthy eating is the high cost of healthy foods. Access to healthy foods is especially limited in households that experience food insecurity, not having enough food or resources to get food. Individuals who live in these households are also at increased risk for a number of health conditions. Addressing food insecurity within lifestyle medicine practice is needed to achieve optimal nutrition

Abstract:

Consumption of plant foods, including whole grains, vegetables, fruits, pulses, nuts, and seeds, is linked to improved health outcomes. Dietary fiber is a nutrient in plant foods that is associated with improved health outcomes, including a lower risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. Different fibers deliver different health benefits based on their physiochemical properties (solubility, viscosity) and physiological effects (fermentability). Additionally, plant foods contain more than dietary fiber and are rich sources of bioactives, whic

Abstract:

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the most common cause of death in most Western countries. Nutrition factors contribute importantly to this high risk for ASCVD. Favourable alterations in diet can reduce six of the nine major risk factors for ASCVD, i.e. high serum LDL-cholesterol levels, high fasting serum triacylglycerol levels, low HDL-cholesterol levels, hypertension, diabetes and obesity. Wholegrain foods may be one the healthiest choices individuals can make to lower the risk for ASCVD. Epidemiological studies indicate that individuals with higher levels (in the highest q

Abstract:

Frailty is a syndrome of growing importance given the global ageing population. While frailty is a multifactorial process, poor nutritional status is considered a key contributor to its pathophysiology. As nutrition is a modifiable risk factor for frailty, strategies to prevent and treat frailty should consider dietary change. Observational evidence linking nutrition with frailty appears most robust for dietary quality: for example, dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean diet appear to be protective.

Oral cancer, included within head and neck cancer, is the sixth most common malignant neoplasm in the world. The main etiological factors are tobacco and alcohol, although currently, diet is considered an important determinant for its development. Several dietary nutrients have specific mechanisms of action, contributing to both protection against cancer and increasing the risk for development, growth, and spread. Foods such as fruits, vegetables, curcumin, and green tea can reduce the risk of oral cancer, while the so-called pro-inflammatory diet, rich in red meat and fried foods, can enhance
