The document discusses how proper nutrition is essential for brain development and function. It notes that the fetal brain develops rapidly from weeks 10 to 18 of pregnancy, making nutrition critical. Deficiencies can lead to growth and developmental issues. Later, certain vitamins and minerals like B12 and iron are needed to prevent impaired cognitive function. The document also examines how different foods contain precursors for neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine that allow the brain to function properly. Adequate glucose, protein, vitamins, and minerals from foods are required to meet the brain's needs.
Brain Food: How to Eat Right to Think RightGaia Clinic
Your brain runs your life and is the greatest asset you possess. Yet many people spend more time and money considering whether they are nourishing their skin and hair properly than nourishing their brain. In this lecture, Medical Doctor, Tracy Thomson explains why learning to feed your brain can effectively increase your productivity, enhance your relationships (including your sex life) and generally make you happier on a daily basis!
This short presentation lists nutrients critical for alertness, memory, cognition and mood and provides examples of foods which contain high concentrations of such nutrients.
The Footprint Forum in association with Partners In Purchasing tackled the role of food in staff performance and wellbeing. And while the idea of mood food is far from mainstream, more and more big businesses are looking at the concept
Depression affects people of all ages, from all walks of life, in all countries. It causes mental anguish and impacts on people’s ability to carry out even the simplest everyday tasks, with sometimes devastating consequences for relationships with family and friends and the ability to earn a living. At worst, depression can lead to suicide, now the second leading cause of death among 15-29-year olds.
Unfortunately, there's no specific diet that's been proven to relieve depression. Still, while certain eating plans or foods may not ease your symptoms or put you instantly in a better mood, a healthy diet may help as part of your overall treatment

Nutritional Neuroscience: Thinking Twice about the Foods that Feed your Brain. Rachel V. Gow, PhD
This talk discusses the latest neuroscientific findings on the links between nutrition and mental health, well-being and performance. It provides evidence that specific nutrients are “brain-selective” and can act in comparable ways to pharmaceutical drugs. It also outlines the implications of the change in food production as a result of the agricultural revolution in favor of mass food production and how common nutritional insufficiencies may lead to physical and mental ill-health. The presentation discusses which foods may help optimise brain function with a focus on omega-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids.
In this informative webinar, with expert nutritionist Dr Nina Bailey, you will learn about how we can optimise our diet to help manage depressive symptoms:
- Foods the brain needs to function: what we should be eating
- Foods that starve the brain of nutrients: what foods we really need to avoid
- Food, mood and money: how to eat well on a budget
- Supplements: the best nutrients for depression, backed up by science
By making some relatively simple dietary changes that may, in some cases, include the use of dietary supplements, it is possible to see significant improvement in symptoms.
Presentation covers the chapter in CBSE curriculum in detail about forms of nutrients and where we can get those.
PPT can be coupled with relevant worksheets from the syllabus.
Detoxifying helps cleanse your digestion system in order to recharge, restore and rejuvenate your overall body. There are so many myths about detoxification, but the fact lies that detoxification helps eliminate body toxins that trigger the release of stress hormones. Preparing an accurate diet plan or drinks for detoxification helps boost the process of cleansing. Let's find out the importance, need, and detoxification diet in the presentation:

The Human Life CycleBirth to Old Age – What is the human lif.docxarnoldmeredith47041
The Human Life Cycle
Birth to Old Age –
What is the human life cycle?
How does nutrition influence our life cycle?
How have our cultural changes in diet and nutrition influenced our development?
So far we have looked at ways in which human beings vary in their phenotypes. Another way that humans have evolved is in our life cycle. All organisms have a cycle of life and eventually die. In this lecture, we are going to consider how the developmental and maturation cycle for homo sapiens has changed over the course of our evolution. When we were in our human evolution section of this course, we watched as maturation rates slowed as species evolved towards Homo sapiens. We have the longest maturation period of any primate, but when we enter this period and get out of it has been altered.
1
Humans are a generalized species
Homo sapiens are very generalized and flexible, we also call this plastic.
We live, eat, and respond to a number of different environments and circumstances.
As environments have changed, our culture has evolved to make us more adaptive.
Drastic cultural changes over the last several decades will have profound impact on our biology.
For this lecture, think back a bit to how flexible and adaptive we are. We have the ability to adapt to many environments and we have. On top of that, we have altered our cultures quite a bit and this has impacted our evolution.
2
Does our original body and life cycle match our ancestors 300kya ago?
We are a species that evolved in subtropical Africa some time around 300,000 years ago.
Rapid agricultural and cultural changes have caused major divisions between generations; think how different your life is from your grandparents.
We have to consider both biological and cultural influence on how the cycle of life has changed.
Something we have to consider is that humans haven’t been around very long as a species. Since it takes us so long to reproduce, we haven’t been on the planet long enough for us to really have evolved in any major ways. What this means is that technically, most of us are still evolved to live in sub-tropical Africa, in small, kin-based families, who hunt and gather. Yet we live in a rapidly modernizing world. Is this rapid change affecting the way we develop and at the rate we do? Let’s consider some examples by looking at the normal life cycle.

Fetal growth
The image above gives you an idea of the course of development in utero. Notice that within the first couple weeks, your neural tube (thus your nervous system) is already developing.
4
By 16 days, neural tube has formed…
Most women do not necessarily know that they are pregnant as early as 2 weeks after conception. However, the neural tube and thus the nervous system is already forming. This means that nutrition is an absolutely integral part of daily life. If malnutrition or other nutrition issues affect the child this young, then the nervous system is already being harmed.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.
MANAGEMENT OF ATRIOVENTRICULAR CONDUCTION BLOCK.pdfJim Jacob Roy
Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

2. INTRODUCTION
As we well know by now in class, the brain is made up of billions of neurons and transmitters and is incapable of
regenerating itself and does not make new neurons, but recently scientist have begun to research the effects that
proper nutrition has on the brain. Through these next few slides I will explain what I have learned by researching how
nutrition effects the brain from our time in the fetus to our current age.
3. The fetal brain is most effected as it
grows rapidly from the 10th to 18th
week of pregnancy. This is where the
importance of nutrition begins to
come into play. Without a healthy
nutritional diet during this time and
throughout pregnancy can lead to
growth issues, complete devastation
to the nervous system that can last
several years after birth, mental
retardation and/or behavioral
problems. Above is a picture I have
provided to show the growth of the
brain from the website
http://www.psyking.net/id187.htm
4. The science of nutrition and brain
function is still evolving and is a
relatively new study, but what
scientist have found out is that
nutrients are essential to human
brain function. If a brain were to
have B12 and iron deficiencies, it
could lead to impaired cognitive
function due to nerve fiber
complications.
Cognition- the ability to use simple
to complex information to meet the
challenges of daily living;

WWW.ARS.USDA.GOV/IS/AR/ARCHIVE/AUG07/AGING0807.HTM
5. At the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research
Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston, the head of
neuroscience James Joseph ran a study using rats, where
the control group was fed standard chow and the test
group were fed antioxidants to show the effects on the
brain such as vitamin, strawberry extracts, or spinach
extracts and did not experience any age related cognitive
performance losses that the control group displayed and
reversed age related deficits and showed high stamina,
they put the rats in mazes and were amazed with the
results.
Control group Test group
6. During these tests they found that
depending on what Oxygen
Radical Absorbance Capacity
(ORAC) units, (which include both
fat and water soluble values) food
contained had a higher effect on
the test rats and while the brain
cannot heal itself it does need
outside nutrition and vitamins to
help it stabilize and reach its full
potential
Microglia- repair mechanisms
involving neural immune cells that
help to heal and protect injured
brain tissue
7. During these next few slides I will be talking about what the brain needs to run properly, diet and
neurotransmitters
8. The brain needs special material to run properly:
glucose, protein, vitamins, minerals and essential
chemicals
glucose- the preferred form of energy for many of the body
cells including the brain and muscle cells and is found in
many food sources. There are a variety of foods that the
body either chemically reduces to glucose, which is
absorbed into the bloodstream or is chemically converted
to glucose such as starch, which is made up of long chains
of glucose molecules chemically connected together. Other
food sources include lactose, milk and other dairy products
Protein- large molecules made from amino acids, which
are enzymes and hormones. Food sources of protein
include meat, eggs, beans and dairy products.
Essential vitamins and minerals-Vitamins and minerals
are needed by the body but not produced by the body
therefore must be taken in as part of the diet.
“Biochemistry”; Reginald Garrett, PH.D. and Charles Grisham, PH.D.; 2007
9. Diet and neurotransmitters
Certain foods contain precursors or starting material for some
neurotransmitters. If a diet is deficient, the brain will not be able to
produce some neurotransmitters. Neurological and mental disorders
may occur when this balance is upset. Examples of neurotransmitter
precursors include:
Aspartic acid
Choline
Glutamic acid
Phenylalanine
Tryptoplean
Tyrosine
Faculty.washington.edu/chudler/nutri.html
10. ASPARTIC ACID
Used to make aspartate, the building blocks
of protein. Found in peanuts, potatoes, eggs
and grains
11. CHOLINE
Used to make acetycholine, which effects both the peripheral nervous
system and central nervous system and is the only neurotransmitter
used in the motor division of the somatic nervous system associated
with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles;
found in eggs liver and soybeans
12. GLUTAMIC ACID
Used to make glutamate which plays a key
role in long term potentiation and is important
for learning and memory; found in flour and
potatoes
13. PHENYLALANINE
Used to make dopamine, a simple organic chemical
released by nerve cells to send signals to other nerve
cells, there are five known types of dopamine receptors.
Found in beets, soy beans, almonds, eggs, meats and
grains.
14. TRYPTOPLEAN
Used to make serotonin, found in the GI tract, platelets, and central
nervous system. They act as many functions in the brain such as
regulation of mood, appetite and sleep. Serotonin also has cognitive
functions including memory and learning. Found in eggs, meat, skim
milk, bananas, yogurt, milk and cheese.
15. TYROSINE
Used to make norepinepherine, which functions as the
neurotransmitter released from the sympathetic neurons affecting the
heart. As a stress hormone norepinepherine affects parts of the brain
such as amygdala where attention and fight or flight responses are
controlled. Found in milk, meat, fish, and legumes
16. Finally, to conclude my presentation I thought I would inset
a video where an experienced neurosurgeon talks about
the effects of nutrition and brain health. Thank you for
taking the time to read through my slideshow, I hope you
found something new and interesting.
