10 common nutrition myths debunked

#1 Carbs make you fat Myth debunked: Lower carb eaters tend to lose weight faster but they are the first to regain the weight that was lost. #2 Eating extra protein builds muscle Myth debunked: Adding too much protein to your diet adds stress on your kidneys and too many calories from any source can lead to weight gain and not necessarily muscle gain. #3 Eating late at night makes you fat Myth debunked: Calories are calories. What you eat, and how much you eat is more important than when you eat it. #4 Grazing all day is better than 3 meals a day Myth debunked: There is no pattern of eating that is right for everyone. #5 Artificially sweetened foods have fewer calories than the original food.

‘Grandfather‘of nutrition goes into retirement

He was the first person that taught me nutrition then and he made so much impression on me and one couldnt but fell in love with the subject. He emphasised so much on the importance of nutrition, pointing out that no matter what we were doing whether in medicine or agriculture, the end point was really the nutrition of the people. After graduating with a B.Sc. in Agriculture, the windows of opportunity to pursue the reverie of becoming a food nutritionist were somewhat narrow for Oguntona, but he found his feet at the University of London, where he was offered admission for his Masters degree in animal nutrition and so began his sojourn into the world of nutrition. I didnt come back to Nigeria immediately because there was nowhere to practise my programme.

Lack of rigorous evidence In a recent desk-based review, IDS set out to critically summarise the existing evidence base on the use of mobile phone technology in nutrition surveillance. One of our key findings is that there is currently a lack of hard evidence to support the use of mobile phone technology in surveillance and especially in nutrition surveillance. The evidence that was available was of poor methodological quality and mainly centred on feasibility issues. No rigorous evaluation studies on the use and impact of mobile phone technology on timeliness or data quality were identified, although descriptive evidence suggests that mobile phones may make nutrition surveillance timelier and improve data quality.

Digestive Health: 10 Tips For Getting Your Digestive System Back On Track

Your Digestive System

Here are some tips to help keep your digestive flow on track this year: 1 Incorporate healthy bacteria in your diet Factors such as stress, lack of sleep, antibiotics, illness, aging and poor diet choices can often lead to an imbalance of your digestive tract bacteria. Certain probiotics, mostly found in dairy products and some fortified cereals, can help to maintain the balance of “good” bacteria in the digestive tract. Try a daily helping of yogurt with probiotics, such as Activia. 2 Keep the fiber on deck Consistently eating the right amount of fiber can help promote bowel function.

Diabetes is a condition caused by problems with insulin production. Liver The liver has a number of different roles in the body, including: Breaking down fats, using bile stored in the gall bladder Processing proteins and carbohydrates Filtering and processing impurities, drugs and toxins Generation of glucose for short-term energy needs from other compounds like lactate and amino acids. The large intestine Once all the nutrients have been absorbed, the waste is moved into the large intestine, or bowel. Water is removed and the waste (faeces) is stored in the rectum. It can then be passed out of the body through the anus.
