5 reasons to start today eating plant based foods marthen3
Our understanding of plant-based eating may differ from
one individual to another. In the world of nutrition, plantbased eating is having a large portion of one’s nutrition
coming from vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, whole grains
and also include legumes or other plants.A spectrum of plant-based nutrition options is available to
you. Some are very strict (vegan diet), others are still
adding animal products like dairy (vegetarian) and at the
other end of the spectrum are those that still eat meat,
poultry and fish on an occasional basis.

5 Reasons Why You Should Start Eating
Plant Based Foods Today
As our society evolves, we are constantly facing the need
to change our behaviors and habits to increase our health
and quality of life. We are now facing climate change, food
insecurity and over 40% of our population is suffering from
chronic disease.
One of the recent ideas put forward to improve our world
and health is the plant-based nutrition. Even though food
regiments are not something our doctor prescribes (yet),
research is showing that food has a lot to contribute to our
health. It is also a less costly option to our society than
prescribe medication.
http://paleogrubsbook.com/?hop=besdeal2da
Paleo has received a great deal of media attention in the last few years. Proponents claim that by eating like our huntergatherer ancestors, we can lose excess weight, lower blood sugar, triglyceride (a blood fat), blood pressure, as well as risks of heart disease and cancer
With more than two-thirds of Americans being either obese or overweight and growing rates of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, can eating Paleo be the panacea for our health problems? The following explains how paleo came about, what it entails, and whether the paleo way of eating is right for your body

Struggling To See Results With Your Diet? Lose The Fat Forever By Learning The Secrets That Our Ancestors Knew To Maintain A Healthy And Fit Body!
Whether we like it or not, the health of our society is bad and getting worse. As technology continues to develop, convenience does as well and ordering food is literally as simple as the clicking of a button.
Long gone are the days of having to find your own food, let alone having to drive to a restaurant to get dinner.
Cooking dinner looks less and less appealing when compared to the food conveniences and choices amongst diners, catering services, fast food and takeout.
According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death, just in the United States alone.
Food is confusing: One day milk “does a body good”, the next day it causes cancer. One day we hear that eating meat will help us lose weight, the next day it’s the cause of obesity. How in the world can anyone make sense all the conflicting ideas, theories and studies? (You’d need a PhD in Biochemistry just to eat dinner!)
Over the past few years I’ve been pouring over nutritional science research from the top diets: Paleo, Atkins, Vegan, Forks Over Knives (Plant-Based), the Mediterranean Diet, etc. Where did these diets come from? How do they differ? And which is best for long-lasting health?
I was surprised to find that – amidst all chaos – there seems to be a common set of principles that all of these diets agree upon. And that’s what I’d like to share with you at Alive Berlin.
If you’re the kind of person that doesn’t necessarily like to follow a strict diet, but you want to feel confident in your eating choices, then this workshop is for you. In addition, we’ll talk about how to integrate these principles in a holistic, and positive way. This is a judgment-free zone: so if you’re brand-new, love pizza, or have your own beliefs about food, don’t fear! We welcome all opinions and eating styles in the quest for understanding.
I guarantee that when you leave you’ll feel a sense of clarity, and will have the ability to talk more intelligently about food and nutrition.

people who waste food just make use of this and be aware and u can also learn something new and the sufferings that we have to face after a decade not after a decade myay be after few years......

Proton Pump Inhibitors are drugs used to suppress gastric acid production and treat GI disorders such as peptic ulcers and gastro-oesophageal reflux. They have been considered low risk, have been widely adopted and are often over-prescribed. Recent studies have identified an increased risk of enteric and other infections with their use. These findings describe a significant impact of PPI on the gut microbiome and should caution overuse of PPI.

Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

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

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

4. Imagine you're celebrating your 100th birthday.What does that look like? What do you
look like? How do you feel? Now, imagine your celebrating your 100th birthday and
you're on water skis. You feel the wind in your face, the water skidding under your skis.
You approach the dock, you wave to your kids, your grandkids, your great-grandkids.
You turn wide and splash them all
5. Centenarian Sikh runner Fauja Singh was the first person to officially enter for
2011 Edinburgh Marathon. A world record holder, aged 100, Fajua Singh has
run seven marathons, all after his 89th birthday
6.
7. Most of us have come to rely on experts (of one kind or another) to tell us how to eat.
Doctors and diet books, media accounts of latest findings in nutritional science,
government advisories and food pyramids and the proliferating health claims on food
packages
We don’t see foods anymore but instead we look right through them to the nutrients
(good and bad) they contain and of course to the calories
For all the scientific or pseudoscientific food baggage we’ve taken on in recent years,
we still don’t know what we should be eating
The truth is that science knows a lot less about nutrition than you would expect, that in
fact nutrition science is a very young science
8. FACT #1
Populations that eat a Western Diet
(lots of processed foods and meat, lots
of added fat sugar and salt, lots of
added chemicals) invariably suffer
from high rates of Western Diseases
(obesity, type 2 diabetes,
cardiovascular disease and cancer).
This diet for whatever reason is the
problem and the main culprit for
reduced longevity in our countries
FACT #2
Populations eating a remarkably wide
range of traditional diets generally
don’t suffer from these chronic
diseases. These diets run the gamut
from ones very high in fat, to ones very
high in carbs, to ones very high in
proteins and the same holds true for
more mixed traditional diets
9. Something called the DANISH TWIN
STUDY established that only about 15-
25 percent of how long the average
person lives (within certain biological
limits) is dictated by our genes. The
other 75-85 percent is dictated by our
lifestyle. This means: if we can find the
optimal lifestyle of longevity we can
come up with a de facto formula for
longevity
10. The ten biggest obstacles to getting to the age of 100 in the Western Countries are the top ten killers:
Heart disease
Cancer
Lung disease
Stroke
Accidents
Alzheimer's
Diabetes
Kidney disease
Lung infections
Suicide
11.
12. If you ask the average european what the optimal formula for longevity is they
probably couldn’t tell you
The fact of the matter is there’s a lot of confusion around what really helps us live
longer better
Should you be running marathons or doing yoga? Should you eat organic meats or
should you be eating tofu?
When it comes to supplements, should you be taking them? How about these
hormones or resveratrol?
Does purpose play into it? Spirituality? And what about how we socialize?
13. If you try very hard you can live to be 100 (FALSE: we are programmed for procreative
success, not for longevity. Only about one out of 4800 people in Europe live to be 100)
There are treatments that can help slow, reverse or even stop aging (FALSE: there
are too many things that can age us, too many things to go wrong; our bodies have 35
Trillion cells that turn themselves over once every 8 yrs and every times they turn
themselves over there is some damage, and the damage builds up, and it builds up
exponentially)
14. The best science tells us that the capacity of the human body is about 90 years (a little
bit more for women)
Life expectancy in this country is currently only 78 years (somewhere along the line
we are leaving about 12 good years on the table)
The best way to get these missing years is to look at the cultures around the world
that are actually experiencing them, areas where people are living to age 100 at rates
up to 10 times grater than we are
15. The Blue Zones is a term dubbed by demographers for certain parts of the world
which have an unusually high number of people who lived to 90 and 100 plus years of
age. In these longevity hot spots, people suffer only a fraction of the diseases that
commonly kill people in other parts of the developed world.
There are 5 well known Blue Zones located in Sardinia (Italy), Okinawa (Japan), Loma
Linda (California), Icaria (Greece) and Nicoyia (Costa Rica).
16.
17.
18. Aren’t rich in material sense
Have an amazing strong purpose and sense of belonging in life
Are regularly active (but take adeguate rest)
Eat really simple whole foods (but not too much)
Fast intermittently or restrict food choices on certain days of the week (or on some
periods of the year)
Enjoy convivality and surround themselves with people who share the same values
Live in places where elderly people are respected
Live a life close to their traditions
19. They are largely sheperds which
occasions regular, low intensity
physical activity
Their diet is mostly plan based (plus
some whole wheat bread, some
cheese made from grass fed sheep
and a wine that has 3 times the level of
polyphenols than any known wine in
the world)
They have organized their society in a
way that the older you get, the more
equity you have, the more wisdom you
are celebrated for
20.
21.
22. Dietary guidelines have been
considered responsible for the current
obesity epidemic
Human beings ate well and kept
themselves healthy for millennia
before nutritional science came along
to tell us how to do it
It is entirely possible to eat healthily
without knowing what a carbohydrate
is
23. Avoid highly processed concoctions designed by food scientists consisting
mostly of ingredients derived from corn and soy that no normal person keeps
in the pantry. They contain chemical additives with which the human body has
not been long acquainted
24. Fructose-containing sugars cause obesity not by calories but by means of their
ability to raise uric acid levels thus turning on the so-called fat-switch which is
responsible for weight gain
25. Brewer’s yeasts has the higher RNA content of almost all foods. RNA is a
nucleotide which is metabolized to uric acid in the liver. Uric acid is responsible
for insulin and leptin resistance at a cellular level thus turning on the fat-switch
26. The more ingredients in a packaged food, the more highly processed it
probably is. If a third-grader cannot pronounce it, it’s probably chemistry, not
food
27. Read the ingredients on a package of Pringles or Twinkies and imagine what
those ingredients actually look like raw or in the places where they grow. You
can’t do it
28. There are scores of studies demonstrating that a diet rich in vegetables and
fruits reduces the risk of dying from all the Western Dieseases. In countries
where the people eat a pound or more of vegetables and fruits a day, the rate
of cancer is half what is in Western Countries
29. The diet of the animals we eat strongly influences the nutritional quality and
healthfullness of the food we get from them, whether it is meat, milk, or eggs. This
should be self-evident, yet it is a truth routinely overlooked by the industrial food
chain in its quest to produce vast quantities of cheap animal protein
30. Many traditional cultures swear by the health benefits of fermented foods,
foods that have been transformed by live micro-organisms (bacteria or fungi)
such as yogurth, sauerkraut, kimchi, sourdough bread
31. When grindstones were the only way to refine flour and oil, flour and oil were generally more
nutritious. The nutritional benfits of whole grains are impressive. And the newer oils that are
extracted by modern chemicals means tend to have less favorable fatty acids profile and
more additives than oils that have been obtained the old-fashioned way
32. There is nothing wrong with eating sweets, fried foods, pastries, etc. but food manufacturers
have made eating these formerly expensive and hard-to-make treats so cheap and easy that
we’re eating them every day. If you made all the french fries you ate, you would eat them
much less often, if only because they’re so much work. The same holds true for fried
chicken, chips, cakes, pies and ice cream
33. Wine may not be the magic bullet in the Mediterranean Diet but it does seem to be an
integral part of this dietary pattern (remember the Cannonau?). There is now considerably
scientific evidence for the health benefits of red wine to go with a few centuries of traditional
belief and anedoctal evidence. The polyphenols in red wine (resveratrol in particular) may
have unique protective qualities
34.
35. A new group of diets called “5:2 diets” makes a compelling promise that with
regular fasting (two days out of every seven) you will quickly lose weight, while
on non-fast days you can continue to eat (and drink) whatever you like. This is
just a quick-fix which can’t be regarded as healthy eating at all
36. Keep active but take it easy. Remember that occasional all-out sprints trigger
optimal gene expression and beneficial hormone flow, while playing balance
the stress of modern life with some unstructured physical fun
