Nutrigenomics is the science that examines the response of individuals to food compounds using post-genomic and related technologies (e.g. genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabol/nomic etc.). The long-term aim of nutrigenomics is to understand how the whole body responds to real foods using an integrated approach termed 'systems biology'. The huge advantage in this approach is that the studies can examine people (i.e. populations, sub-populations - based on genes or disease - and individuals), food, life-stage and life-style without preconceived ideas.

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, very-low-carbohydrate eating plan that aims to bring about weight loss by causing your body to enter a state of fat-burning ketosis. Although it’s become popular during the past decade or so as a weight loss strategy, it was originally designed 100 years ago as a way to reduce seizures in people with epilepsy.
Keto Diet Vs Intermittent Fasting.pptxRahulKotwal6
Intermittent fasting is more flexible than keto when it comes to the types of food you can eat. This increases the pool of available vitamins and minerals obtainable from the diet.
Intermittent fasting can be modified for those who require or desire shorter fasts and is not mandatory to fast every day. Keto is all or nothing: you’re either in ketosis or not and keto requires strict daily adherence.
The ketogenic diet, often referred to as keto, is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that has been shown to help some people lose weight. The ketogenic diet has been studied for its potential benefits in weight loss, managing diabetes, and even some neurological disorders like epilepsy. However, it's essential to note that the ketogenic diet may not be suitable for everyone. Before starting any drastic diet change like keto, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

HXR 2016: Which Comes First: Overeating or Obesity? -Dr. David Ludwig, Boston...HxRefactored
The conventional approach to weight loss, based on the calorie balance model, offers the simple advice, “eat less and move more.” Unfortunately, few people can maintain weight loss over the long term through calorie restriction because the body fights back, with rising hunger and slowing metabolism. An alternative approach to treatment aims to target the underlying driver of weight gain – fat cells overstimulated to hoard too many calories – leading to weight loss with less struggle.
Objectives:
1.To understand the current evidence on ICU nutrition.

A ketogenic diet to lose weight and fight metabolic diseasehananenina5
Obesity and metabolic diseases are major health problems worldwide.
In 2016, obesity affected 13% of adults globally.
Obesity is a risk factor of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of metabolic abnormalities, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high waist-to- hip ratio, and low HDL (good) cholesterol.
To combat this, many diets have emerged, including the ketogenic diet, in which a person consumes a very limited amount of carbohydrates. Some research suggests this diet may have benefits for people with obesity.
However, some experts have questioned the health benefits of the keto diet and called for more research. While it may help you lose weight, there may also be complications.
This article explains how the keto diet may help people lose weight and manage metabolic disease. It also discusses some of the possible drawbacks.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Defining the Ketogenic Ratio
•Fat (g) to combined carbohydrate (g) and protein (g)
•Purpose: regulate degree of ketosis
•Example: 4:1
36kcals + 4 kcals = 40kcals per Dietary Unit
1000kcals x Dietary Units ÷ 40kcals = 25 Dietary Units
25 Dietary Units x 4 = 100g Fat
25 Dietary Units x 1 = 25g CHO + Protein
Fat Fat Fat Fat
CHO + Protein
X 9 kcals = 36 kcals
X 4 kcals = 4 kcals

Keto-Adaption
The human body can adapt to use fat as its primary fuel
during submaximal exercise, while at the same time
freeing itself from obligate high rate of live and muscle
glycogen.

Does it work?
• McSwiney, et al (2018)
– Self-selected:
• Group 1: high carbohydrate (n=10)
• Group 2: low carbohydrate (n=10)
– Findings:
• Group 2 had a greater reduction in BMI (-5.9 v -0.8, p=0.006)
• Low carbohydrate group had a greater reduction in body fat % (-
4.6% v 0.7%, p=0.008)
• Group 2 had a significant increase in the six second sprint peak
power test (+0.8 v -0.01, p=0.025)
• Group 2 had a significant increase in peak power for the critical
power test (+1.4 v -0.7, p=0.047)

41. Ketogenic Diet: athletics
41
How does it work?
• Volek, et al (2016)
– Elite, ultra-marathoners & iron man triathletes (n=20)
– Matched groups:
• Group 1: high carbohydrate
• Group 2: low carbohydrate
– Findings:
• Group 2 had a two-fold higher rates of peak fat oxidation during
graded exercise (p<0.0001) AND sustained submaximal running
(p<0.0001)
• Group 2 had a greater capacity to oxidize fat at higher exercise
intensities (p<0.0001)
• No difference in rate of glycogenolysis pre- and during exercise,
and rate of glycogen synthesis during recovery

Message 4: apps are our friends
• Set macronutrient goals
• Comprehensive food database
• Tracks macro- and micronutrient intake
• App dependent
– Calculating net carbohydrates
– Export data
47. Ketogenic Diet: so what now?

Message 5: it’s ok to not have all the answers
• Large network of Ketogenic Dietitians
– Charlie Foundation website
– Nutricia website
• Annual conferences
– September 2019: Phoenix, Arizona

48. Conclusion
48
• The Ketogenic Diet is an efficacious treatment option
for refractory epilepsy for both adults and pediatric
patients
• While the evidence for the use of the Ketogenic Diet in
disease states other than epilepsy are limited, we are
starting to understand how it may play a role in chronic
disease management and athletics
• As practitioners, we should support the decisions our
clients/patients make and assist them in making
healthful
