Filter by:Dietary patterns are a potentially modifiable risk factor for colon cancer recurrence, flares in inflammatory bowel diseases, and for chronic diseases. Nutritional counseling is rarely brought up during medical appointment. As a result, patients are often left confused regarding which specific dietary recommendation to follow after surgical treatment. A plant-based diet is naturally high in fiber and is beneficial to long-term health, especially for patients with colorectal diseases. The aims of this study are to: 1. Determine whether an educational intervention is effective in increasing intake of plants 2. Identify barriers and facilitators to adoption of a plant-based diet among patients with colorectal diseases 3. Identify secondary health gains related to adoption of a plant-based diet.
The CONCERT Study (A Comprehensive Online program for Cognitive Enhancement, Reassurance and Training) was designed to introduce a user-friendly platform to assess and train cognition among old adults. Our main research questions are: i) Is it possible to provide a user-friendly platform to perform multi-domain cognitive training for old adults? ii) Are there any safety issues with these platforms? Inclusion criteria include: i) Aged ≥ 65 years; ii) Owning a computer with access to the Internet and basic knowledge to use it; iii) Having sufficient English language skill; iv) Normal baseline AD8 screening test; v) agree to join the study with their partners/ close family members. Exclusion criteria include: i) History of dementia; ii) Severe physical disability precluding to participate in meetings; those using wheelchairs can still join the study with some modification in the exercise program. Study duration includes 24 weeks of intervention with lifestyle changes (Online: Nutrition consultation and teaching, Exercise, dance, music therapy and cognitive enhancement). Participants have options to continue the study for another 24 weeks. Outcome will be assessed based on participants' adherence, satisfaction.
Mindfulness, seemingly a simple concept, research shows that the impact of mindfulness on the overall wellness of an individual can be helpful (5). Research supports that mindfulness leads to reduced stress, enhanced performance, better focus, and improved approach (7). Areas of mindfulnessare mindful eating,movement and meditation. Application of mindfulness tools in these areas can be beneficial to health outcomes and to create a happier more efficient work environment (9). Mindful eating shows to improve diet quality and attitudes toward food and eating. Individuals better understand physical hunger/fullness cues, improve nutrient density, weight control,digestion,systolic blood pressure, and stress(2). Disordered eating behaviors have also shown to improve(3). Mindless eating, such as eating while being on the phone, driving, or watching television can have the opposite effect and can be linked to more emotional hunger cues. Combining mindful eating with diet therapy can lead to healthier food choices and a more positive feeling towards eating and body image, reducing stress and improving the overall wellness of an individual (4). Aspire's experience shows that aspects of teacher's wellness is worsening with ,media reporting more and more employees resigning from their positions every day (wccb,2021). Teachers have voiced their need for more support with their wellbeing. As a result, Aspire Nutrition is targeting school employees through a newly developed mindfulness program titled Nourish Carolina. This program will be focused on improving the overall wellness of participants Participants are enrolled in the study for 12 weeks. All participants will have weekly nutritional counseling and bi-weekly mental health counseling. Study group will have nutrition and mental health counseling with mindfulness activities and control group will receive nutrition and mental health sessions without mindfulness activities. There is a program curriculum so that mental health and nutrition mindfulness activities compliment eachother The mindfulness lessons for study group are divided into 6 nutrition and 6 mental health sessions,for 15 minutes during the session. Positive outcomes could include improved workplace performance as a result of enhancing school employees overall wellness and quality of life by reducing stress levels, improving diet quality, and improving mental health.
Obesity is a major public health problem and is constantly on the rise. Therapeutic approaches based on dietary advice, physical activity and the management of psychological difficulties are not always sufficient to achieve a lasting weight reduction. Bariatric surgery (or obesity surgery), accompanied by therapeutic education and adequate medical and dietary monitoring, can lead to significant and lasting weight loss. It is indicated as a second-line treatment for patients who have failed medical treatment, whose BMI is greater than or equal to 40 or whose BMI is greater than or equal to 35 with comorbidities (type 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension, obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome, severe joint disorders). The surgeon may be very bothered by the intra-abdominal fat mass and especially by steatotic hepatomegaly (increase in the size of the liver and its fat load). Faced with this problem, various preoperative strategies such as the placement of an intra gastric balloon have been tried to decrease the size of the liver but a systematic review from 2016 indicates that a low calorie diet is preferable. Preoperative weight loss can reduce fat load and liver volume very rapidly. This meta-analysis shows that all low-calorie, high-protein diets are effective and that the optimal duration (4 weeks), compliance and tolerance are important factors for success.
An inclusion consultation carried out by Professor Gamé at the CHU of Toulouse (Rangueil site) will make it possible to provide the subject with a urinary self-test which automatically carries out and sends the measurement of 10 urinary parameters: pH, density, creatinine, magnesium, calcium, sodium, urea, uric aid, oxalate, citrate. No samples are taken and therefore stored. The data will be processed by IRIT in order to investigate : - the correlation of the analyses with the context of nutrition and sports activity. - the best recommendation on use (the best time) Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
The aim of this proposed study is to translate the Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension with Sodium (Na) Reduction for Chinese Canadian (DASHNa-CC), a classroom-based antihypertensive dietary educational intervention, to an innovative smartphone app (mDASHNa-CC) to enable Chinese Canadian seniors' access to this antihypertensive dietary intervention anytime, regardless of where they are.
