If I asked you to list the most important events that have shaped your life and your relationship with food, how would you respond?
Have you ever looked at what led you to your current state of relationship with food? Do you feel you’d like to change some things, but can’t ever seem to make a new habit stick? Or maybe it seems like you can’t resist certain foods, no matter how hard you try. Or perhaps you’ve always felt frustrated with eating and don’t remember what it was like not to be.
Yet you got to where you are now somehow.
If you were asked what events shaped your relationship with food and you HAD to answer, what would you say? This presentation explores the way we craft our "food story" and beliefs about our relationship with food. It includes experiments and guidance for shaping your beliefs and behaviors if you feel stuck.

Implementing Healthy Eating Programs in the WorkplaceCCOHS
What a person eats, how active they are, genetics and the environment in which they live, work and play all have a role in determining whether or not a person is at a healthy body weight. With adults spending a large amount of time at work and consuming at least one meal a day in addition to one or two snacks, workplaces are an ideal venue to promote healthy food choices.
These slides are from an October 13, 2010 webinar held during Canada's Healthy Workplace Month.
Heather Harvey of the Ontario Public Health Association discusses healthy eating in the workplace and how to successfully implement healthy eating programs. She draws on experiences learned through the Eat Smart!® Workplace Program, a healthy eating award program for Ontario workplaces. Even if your workplace is outside of Ontario, you will find value in the lessons learned and strategies discussed for starting and maintaining interest in your own healthy eating program.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

A food that is believed to be good for your health
Fresh unprocessed foods
Raw state
Has not been frozen or subjected to any form of preservation
95% of the $1.9 trillion spent in health care goes to treat illness and only 5% of the expenditure is invested in prevention services
use of effective interventions, such as disease management, post-discharge care, and case management for key chronic conditions could produce substantial savings, perhaps as much as $45 billion per year.
According to the USDA, healthier diets could prevent at least $87 billion per year in medical costs, lost productivity, and lost lives.
From a study done at Rutgers University, cutting back on unhealthy habits can possibly result in substantial annual savings
More info on this study?
Would you paying for the convenience of your food or for nutrition from food?
Need to focus on the Cost per potion to actually find out the price of food you eat.
Fast food: Drive thru meal for $6, this is one meal that someone would typically eat at one sitting
Home cooked: Grocery store trip for $10
Couscous = $2 (shows 4.5 servings but I get atleast 8 servings) = .25/serving
Turkey = $5.54 / 4 = $1.39
Green beans = $.98/2 = $.49x2 = $1
TOTAL = $2.13/serving $8.52 for all the groceries and you are getting atleast 4 meals out of it
Think about it:
$20 for a week of meals or $6 a day for one meal (lunch) for a week ($35)
Best bang for your buck
Grains, such as bread, oatmeal, pasta and rice, are the cheapest foods no matter how you measure by portion, weight or calories.
•Protein, such as meat, chicken and fish, is the most expensive food by portion size, but there are low-cost proteins such as beans and eggs.
•When looking at price per portion, fruits and vegetables are lower in price overall than unhealthy foods.
The price of potato chips is nearly twice as expensive as the price of carrots by portion size
Hummus = $2
Carrot Chips = $1.64
$0.50/serving
It might take a bit more time and planning to put these foods on the dinner table each night, but at least now you know you can afford to try!
A plate showing portion sizes of 100 calories worth of strawberries, broccoli, potato chips, bread and M&Ms used to counter the perception that it's cheaper to eat junk food than a nutritionally balanced meal. (U.S. Agriculture Department/Associated Press)
So you could get more food for less calories.
How else are we saving? Calories and cost
Calorie Dense
They provide energy from calories without other significant nutritional value
Nutrient Dense
They provide more nutrients than calories
How much you get from one thing
Look at all the nutrients just one serving is and how little it cost.
For a family of four
Eating at home can provide multiple leftover meals and even have leftovers be used in different dishes throughout the week to save money, for the same price of one sit down meal at a fast food restaurant.
This home cooked meal will be more nutrient dense also which will sustain hunger longer and reduce overeating.

These descriptions must be truthful, but don't confuse them with the term "organic." Only foods that are grown and processed according to USDA organic standards can be labeled organic.
Fewer pesticides
severely restrict the use of food additives, processing aids and fortifying agents commonly used in nonorganic foods, including preservatives, artificial sweeteners, colorings and flavorings, and monosodium glutamate (MSG).
Organic farming practices are designed to benefit the environment by reducing pollution and conserving water and soil quality.
Growth hormones and pesticides used in dairy and meat. The pesticides can accumulate in the fatty tissue of the animal. That is directly passed on to the consumer.
While organic food is mainstream now and can be found in nearly all grocery and health food stores, visiting Farmer's Markets is one of the best ways to find organic foods and support your local community

Fresh food goes bad fast is a common complaint. Why is that? The foods aren’t filled with preservatives. So, we have to store smart to get the most out of our purchases.
Asparagus in cup of water
Place fruits and vegetables in separate, perforated plastic bags.
Use within 1-3 days for maximum flavor and freshness.
Store each group in different produce drawers in the
refrigerator to minimize the detrimental effects of ethylene
produced by the fruits on the vegetables
Produce That Creates Ethylene Gas: Apples, apricots, avocados, ripening bananas, blueberries, cantaloupe, citrus fruit (not grapefruit), figs, grapes, green onions, honeydew, ripe kiwi fruit, mangoes, melons, mushrooms, nectarines, papayas, passion fruit, peaches, pears, peppers, pineapple, plums, prunes, tomatoes and watermelon.
Produce That Is Damaged by Ethylene Gas: Asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cucumbers, eggplant, green beans, kale, kiwi fruit, leafy greens, lettuce, parsley, peas, peppers, potatoes, romaine lettuce, spinach, squash, sweet potatoes, watercress and yams.
To prevent moisture loss, store fruits and vegetables separately
in a paper bag, perforated plastic bag, or ripening bowl on the
counter away from sunlight. Ripening fruit in a bowl or paper
bag can be enhanced by placing an apple with the fruit to be ripened.
After ripening, store in refrigerator and use within 1-3 days
Many fruits and vegetables should only be stored at room temperatures.
Refrigeration can cause cold damage or prevent them from ripening to good
flavor and texture. For example, pink tomatoes ripen to a better taste and
red color if they are left at room temperature. In the refrigerator, they do
not turn red, and even red tomatoes kept in the refrigerator lose their flavor.
Keep away from direct sunlight.
*Store garlic, onions, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in a well-ventilated
area in the pantry.
†Cucumbers can be refrigerated for 1-3 days
if they are used soon after removing from the refrigerator.
This graphic gives examples of where to store food products in the refrigerator and pantry
Convenience is a plus for quick meals at drive thrus and processed food at grocery stores. Once you get in a routine, you will find you not only are saving money but time and frustration by pre-pepping your own foods at home.
