Eliminating nutrition deficiency requires sufficient, safe and varied food suppliers to help reduce risk of chronic diseases and prevent malnutrition. Nutrition transition includes quantitative and qualitative changes in your diet which includes a shift in the structure of the diet itself. Diets evolve over time. Factors like lifestyle and food habits as such as buying at fast foods every meal time affects your nutritional value choices. Discipline and physical activity is very important. When you intend to give yourself chances for a better life, choose what you feed yourselves well. Maybe you can limit fast food counters and try cooking a good meal at home for a change.

Prevention of chronic diseases

Diet and nutrition in the prevention of chronic diseases plays an all equivalent role of importance with exercise and daily burning of fats and calories. The best way I can think of preventing chronic diseases is to discipline and teach your own selves to practice thinking about diet, nutrition, fruits, vegetables and walking or any sweat-it-all physical activity.

We don’t rely on doctors to do this for us because the main thing that they do is type in our complaints and save it on their PDAs.

Perfect body

Say hello to a perfect healthy body and say goodbye to chronic diseases the easy way – diet and nutrition!

Diet and nutrition are critical to the promotion and maintenance of good health throughout your entire life course. The burden of chronic diseases is rapidly increasing globally as such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, osteoporosis and dental diseases. But let me ask you guys… Are you not aware that chronic diseases are largely preventable diseases?

Yup darlings they are preventable diseases. Modern dietary patterns and physical activity patterns are risk behaviors affecting one population to another and are considered as communicable at the risk factor level. You may have notice that traditional largely plant based diets are being replaced by high fat energy dense diets with a substantial content of animal based foods at fast food counters while physical inactivity proves to be increasingly affecting a lot of people because of technology and a lot of mechanical innovations to promote comfortable living.

Yesireee comfortable living is giving as an edge to win the marathon race to the doors of early onset of chronic diseases. Lifestyles should be managed and balanced in a way that we used much of our strength to strengthen our muscles and stamina and for cardio purposes. And most of all this gives us the perfect body we need when we decide to start sweating it out.

Food strategies could well be spelled in diet and nutrition. It’s repetitive but we always go back there. Food, diet, nutrition, physical inactivity could be improved by eating lots of fruits and vegetables and doing daily exercises.

Who wants sexy abs?

Leaner, sleeker, sexier, trimmer and tighter tummy are the kind of abs we want to have. And it is great news to be able to tell you that we can work toward a more amazing abs from flab to fab (fabulous!). But at the moment while you are still working on it please don’t wear jeans that are too small or too tight or it will make your belly or abs protrude.

Our goal is to slash your weight then trim your abs. How do we do that?

Makeup, accessories or any other alternative to make your abs appear lighter with a thinner look may do for a while but may not give you that good look and healthy feeling. It would be best to do a real good walk everyday to trim those fats off.

To progressively increase the training stimulus of your abdominal muscles you may want to perform abdominal curls on a decline bench rather than on a flat bench. Weightlifting exercises your muscles at greater than normal workloads. This produces microscopic tears in the muscle cells and connective tissues. Your body responds by producing new muscle proteins and cause muscle growth while increasing strength.

Please take note that there is a need to rest the exercised muscles between workouts for these changes to occur. Substantial improvements are seen to people who lift weights every other day or maybe 2 to 3 times a week. Lifting weights everyday may risk your muscles by overtraining.

A split routine may be created so you won’t be exercising the same muscle groups everyday and to avoid excessive muscle soreness and overuse injuries. You may also opt for calisthenics as a mild form to strength training. If you have a low back pain like an herniated disc injury then avoid the steps where you need to twist and bend. It may be helpful to alter training stimulus weekly or daily to be able to change combination of intensity, repetition and sets.

Designing your weight management and body composition program is never easy. The help of fitness professional is needed to give it the desired workout intensity and nutrition balance your body needs. But to start toning your body you may want to do an hour a day walking and eating lots of fruits and vegetables.

Asthma and its intervention

The severity of asthma fluctuates with corresponding change in management requirements. Effective early introduction of anti-inflammatory treatment in children with asthma improves the prognosis. The earlier the treatment is started the greater the improvement will be in lung function. Usual symptoms of asthma are wheeze, cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath and sputum production. Some may exhibit prodromal symptoms preceding attack like itching under the chin, discomfort between shoulder blades and inexplicable fear. Education, counseling and environmental interventions are very important if you have this disease.

Some parents take asthma for granted. Please don’t take any symptoms for granted. Asthma most of the times are associated with colds and cough. Yes that is true but at certain intensity of the disease, it has to be taken cared of and intervened promptly. A persistent cough and wheeze every night, poor or unmanaged asthma impacts a person’s personal relationships, lifestyle, activity, attendance at school and at work, social interaction and feeling of well being. The prevalence of allergic sensitivity is lower in adults than in children. One of the most important tests is the test for lung inflammation since the main physiological manifestation of asthma is variable airway obstruction. It is logical and compulsory to include pulmonary function test in evaluating the effectiveness of asthma intervention. However with rare disease brittle asthma, high prevalence of food intolerance has been noted.

Overweight is significantly higher in children with moderate-to-severe where overweight promotes severity. The effects on increased BMI on asthma are mediated by the mechanical properties of the respiratory system associated with obesity. Elevated BMI and dietary patterns especially intake of excess lipids contribute to symptoms of asthma. Nutritional status is very important in order to maintain healthy lungs. Lungs functions are said to be better with higher antioxidant levels. Dietary modifications may help manage asthma by preventing distention of stomach from large meals. Large meals results to distress which aggravates asthma. Diet affects altered immune or antioxidant activity which may cause the lungs infection and effect airway inflammation.

Intervention:

1. Optimize nutritional status on Vitamins C, B6 and E, selenium and magnesium. Reduce intake of Oleic acid while increasing intake of Omega 3 fatty acids.
2. Health maintenance program or exercise or physical activity. Maybe tai chi or calisthenics may be advisable at the early stage of physical activity to increase stamina first. Then increase with sports and other strenuous physical activity if tolerated. Stop and rest when you feel you are hardly breathing.
3. Plan a balanced, small meal. Fruits and vegetables are preferred. Omit food allergens like milk, eggs, seafood and fish. Try to lose weight.
4. More fluid intake is encouraged. Please use less sodium.
5. A combination of three herbal extracts in China identified as ASHMI has been found to be useful.

It is always best to consult your doctor and a nutrition expert in your area before implementing your planned diet. I appreciate if you could post comments regarding asthma prevention practice you have.

Prevention of chronic diseases

Prevention of chronic diseases and the reduction of their impact are seen to be related to dietary and lifestyle changes. The role of diet is essential in preventing and controlling morbidity. Since rapid changes in diets and lifestyles have occurred with industrialization, economic development and market globalization, progress has significant impact on health and nutritional status of population. With the increase of inappropriate dietary patterns and decrease of physical activity is the corresponding increase of diet related chronic diseases. Changes in the world food economy are practically reflected in the shift of dietary patterns. Because of these changes, obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, stroke and cancer are increasingly fast becoming causes of disability and death.

Trends in shifting dietary patterns and increasing sedentary lifestyle are major risk factor for noncommunicable chronic diseases. Along with the increased tobacco use are the corresponding increased of diet related chronic diseases which is more common among the poor people. Nutrition is fast coming to the fore as major modifiable determinant of chronic diseases. Any alterations in diet have both positive and negative long term effects on health and life. Dietary adjustments may very well determine any person’s tendency to develop diseases like cancers, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes in later life. This is to reiterate the importance of nutrition, diet and exercise in a person’s life even at a very young age. Developing recommendations for diet and nutrition and the need for sufficient physical activity is still best in the prevention of chronic diseases.
