Addiction to alcohol, nicotine, opiates, or other substances often takes its toll on the body in many ways. Some of the negative consequences of addiction to health include malnutrition and weakened immune systems, which increase one's risk of developing disease. Therefore, aside from focusing on withdrawing from one's addiction to chemical substances, one must also pay attention to improving one's nutrition on the road to full recovery of health.
This document discusses nutrition and nutritional needs. It covers macronutrients like proteins, fats, and carbohydrates as well as micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. Key points include: our bodies are made up of what we eat; a balanced diet with sufficient nutrients is important for health; protein, fat, and carb needs vary by age, gender, and activity level; and both under-eating and over-eating can lead to health issues. Overall nutrition and making good dietary choices are emphasized for long term wellness.
Diabetes is reaching the level of a potential epidemic in India. India has more than 62 million people suffering from the disease. Diabetes is the imbalance in blood sugar and the impairment of insulin resistance. Insulin is similar to a knob of the fuel tank which automatically closes down when the entire tank fills.

The document discusses several topics related to nutrition and pharmacology in elderly patients. It covers nutrition and how age-related changes can impact nutritional status. Methods of nutritional assessment are described, including anthropometric measurements, biochemical tests, clinical evaluations, and dietary assessments. Energy and protein requirements as well as vitamin needs in elderly patients are also covered. The document then discusses how certain drugs can impact nutrition and how pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are altered in elderly patients due to changes in absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs. Geriatric services available are summarized, including informal care, health care services, rehabilitation programs, and long-term care facilities like nursing homes.
Nutrition and Aging (Presented by Carmen Blanco, Greenville SC)Carmen Blanco
As we age, so do our dietary needs both in terms of macronutrients (proteins/carbs/fats) and micronutrients (vitamins/minerals). The following is a presentation on common nutrient deficiencies in older adults.
Nutrition experts recommend 15-20 calories per kilogram of weight per day for healthy adults. For an 80kg adolescent, this equals 1,600 calories per day distributed across three to five meals. Recommendations to reduce calorie intake include limiting added sugars, choosing water or 100% fruit juice over soda, replacing candy with fruit, and reading nutrition labels to identify added sugars. Recommendations to reduce fat intake include trimming fat from meat, choosing fish and poultry without skin, limiting red meat to three times per week, choosing low-fat dairy, and reducing fried foods and butter or margarine. Common nutritional disorders discussed are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and obesity.
The document discusses various common misconceptions or "fallacies" about foods and nutrition. It addresses fallacies related to dairy products, breads and cereals, meats, vegetables, sugars, condiments, water, lecithin, megavitamin therapy, and vegetarianism. For each topic, it identifies a common mistaken belief and then provides the factual correction. The overall purpose is to separate myth from proven fact when it comes to various foods and nutrition claims.

Nutritional requirements of elderly & dietary managementsowmiya Gunasekaran
The nutritional needs of the elderly change as they age. Their energy requirements decrease due to lower metabolism and activity levels. They require less carbohydrates, proteins and fats but enough vitamins, minerals, fiber and fluids. Their diets should focus on antioxidant rich foods to support immunity and bone health while avoiding high salt, spice or gas-forming foods which are hard to digest. Ensuring proper nutrition through balanced meals helps promote healthy aging.
Over 41 million Americans have pre-diabetes, defined as a fasting blood sugar level over 100 mg/dl but below 126 mg/dl for diabetes; those with pre-diabetes are at high risk for cardiovascular disease and likely to develop full diabetes within 5 to 10 years if lifestyle changes are not made. The document recommends lifestyle modifications like following a diet lower in unhealthy fats and carbs, eating more vegetables, beans, whole grains, and nuts, exercising regularly, and losing weight to help control blood sugar levels and reduce risk of developing diabetes.

While nothing is completely off limits, sticking mainly to "best" low glycemic foods makes diabetes easiest to manage. These best foods include chia seeds, avocados, leafy greens, eggs, apple cider vinegar, cauliflower, green tea, and okra. These foods help control blood sugar through their fiber, protein, vitamins, and plant compounds. Diabetics are advised to eat these foods but still follow their prescribed treatment plan.
This document discusses nutrition during old age. It notes that ageing brings physiological, psychological and immunological changes that influence nutritional status. Some key changes that occur with ageing include reduced taste, smell and gastric function as well as changes in organ functions. The document outlines nutritional requirements for older adults including reduced needs for energy, carbohydrates and proteins but continued needs for vitamins, minerals, water and fibre. Specific nutritional concerns for older adults like osteoporosis, neurological issues, anaemia and immunity are also covered.
The document summarizes the USDA Food Pyramid guidelines, recommending daily servings from each food group: grains, vegetables, fruits, oils, milk, and meat and beans.

A Review on Recent Advances of Packaging in Food IndustryPriyankaKilaniya
Effective food packaging provides number of purposes. It functions as a container to hold and transport the food product, as well as a barrier to protect the food from outside contamination such as water, light, odours, bacteria, dust, and mechanical damage by maintaining the food quality. The package may also include barriers to keep the product's moisture content or gas composition consistent. Furthermore, convenience is vital role in packaging, and the desire for quick opening, dispensing, and resealing packages that maintain product quality until fully consumed is increasing. To facilitate trading, encourage sales, and inform on content and nutritional attributes, the packaging must be communicative. For storage of food there is huge scope for modified atmosphere packaging, intelligent packaging, active packaging, and controlled atmosphere packaging. Active packaging has a variety of uses, including carbon dioxide absorbers and emitters, oxygen scavengers, antimicrobials, and moisture control agents. Smart packaging is another term for intelligent packaging. Edible packaging, self-cooling and self-heating packaging, micro packaging, and water-soluble packaging are some of the advancements in package material.
