Abstract:

The decades of processed foods consumption have created imbalance of bacteria in our guts. The hard reality is many of the convenient packaged foods that appeal to our taste buds, are devoid of food’s natural nutrients and are loaded with additives. Today, we are no longer attentive to the impact of food on our health. We eat for convenience, not health. Our gut is the gateway to overall health. An unhealthy gut weakens our immune system, our metabolic processes suffer and our health declines. Eat mindfully to fix your gut and the part of the answer to fixing it lies in probiotics. Naturally, incorporating probiotics into your diet not only offer a cheaper and tastier way to balance the good bacteria in your stomach but may also prevent a host of illnesses. Be in a win-win situation by focusing on foods we should include rather than foods to exclude!

Title: Obesity and protein exchange
Speaker
Biography:

Emil Mukhamejanov is a doctor of medical sciences, professor. During 1964-1972, He worked in the Institute of Physiology, responsible for the regulation of muscle contraction. During 1974-1991, he worked in the Institute of nutrition, responsible for the regulation of energy metabolism and metabolic diseases. Developed metabolic model of balanced diet coupled with effects of toxic compounds, physical activity and dietary factors. He has developed specialized nutrition products for athletes and for the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases. He is currently working in the scientific center of anti-infective disorders, develop approaches of reducing the negative impact of drugs. He has participated in a grant (JSC National Medical University named after S.Asfendiarov) for the study of polymorphism in diabetes mellitus. He is a scientific consultant at Fucoidan-World.

Abstract:

The body has a number of idle energy-dependent metabolic cycles that contribute to the conservation of energy balance. The protein turnover increases with excess intake of calories and decreases with their deficiency, so it can contribute to maintaining the energy balance. The approach was to develop a model for establishing the key role of protein metabolism in coordinating the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. There was developed a model for the relationship between proteins, fats and carbohydrates exchange. In the absorptive period, a decrease in protein synthesis with a protein deficit (low protein diet) leads to a reduction in glucose utilization, which is manifested by its increase in blood and an increase in the discharge of its carbon skeleton into lipids. On the contrary, on the high-protein diet the negative manifestations of the restriction of physical activity on the exchange of glucose and fats are smoothed out. In the post-absorptive period, proteins are the main supplier of the substrate for the process of gluconeogenesis, which is provided by the energy of fat oxidation, so fat oxidation increases on the high protein nutrition. This allowed us to offer a product for obesity diet therapy. Thus, protein metabolism plays a coordinating role in the mechanism of carbohydrate and fat metabolism, and in order to increase the effectiveness of technology in the prevention and treatment of obesity, adequate substrate support of the protein synthesis process (quantity and quality).

Abstract:

For a long time, microalgae have occupied only a shadow position in the field of the classic medical nutritional teaching. However, things have changed to a point where the plant based phytonutrients and microalgae Chlorella in particular, have become increasingly popular for its outstanding health benefits. The scientific interest for microalgae Chlorella is important and keeps rising. The freshwater Chlorella contains almost all nutrients, essentials for healthy diet. The combination of constituents is unique. Essential amino-acids, proteins saturated, unsaturated fatty acids, peptides amino acids, polysaccharides glycoproteins, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals are contributing to Chlorella’s physiological properties. Chlorella’s nutrients composition is made of proteins, carbohydrates, fat, fibers, antioxidants vitamins, bioactive substances. The concentration of chlorophyll is particularly remarkable in Chlorella such is the amount of bioavailable vitamin B12. Chlorella can be used for a wide range of nutritional purposes. For a therapeutic use, only an ultrapure Chlorella should be used such as cultivation in sunlight glass-tubes photo-bioreactor, patented, multi-rewarded, made in Germany, total protection from heavy metals, toxins, pollutants.

Biography:

Muhammad Usman is the Former Director General of Agricultural Research System, Government of Pakistan who retired from service after a spotless career of about 35 years with senior level experience on research and development of integrated agricultural production, food science. He is an Agricultural Scientist and established Prominent Agro Based Industries, Agro Based Industries and Consultancy SDN BHD in Malaysia and Foundation for Rural Development in Pakistan, with aim to work on integrated agricultural project for rural development through improvement in agriculture and consultancy services to the formers at Malaysia.

Abstract:

The aims of presentation consist of malnutrition, malnourishment, youth of the world, were studied and reported that malnutrition and malnourishment are the major source of the disease and death of the youth of the world like South Asia particularly in Pakistan.The study reported that malnutrition is the lack of proper nutrition, caused by not having enough to eat, not eating enough of the right things, or being unable to use the food that one does eat. It was also reported that malnutrition is a group of conditions in children and adults generally related to poor quality or insufficient quantity of nutrient intake, absorption, or utilization. According to WHO, Malnutrition refers to deficiencies, excesses or imbalances in a person’s intake of energy and/or nutrients. The term malnutrition covers 2 broad groups of conditions. One is ‘undernutrition’—which includes stunting (low height for age), wasting (low weight for height), underweight (low weight for age). The other one is micronutrient deficiencies or insufficiencies (a lack of important vitamins and minerals). The other is overweight, obesity and diet-related noncommunicable diseases (such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer) The WHO, 462 million people worldwide are malnourished, and stunted development due to poor diet affects 159 million children globally. WHO also reported that malnutrition is the gravest single threat to global public health. Globally, it contributes to 45 percent of deaths of children aged under 5 years. This study will focus mainly on undernutrition. Many families cannot afford or access enough nutritious foods like fresh fruit and vegetables, legumes, meat and milk, while foods and drinks high in fat, sugar and salt are cheaper and more readily available, leading to a rapid rise in the number of children and adults who are overweight and obese, in poor as well as rich countries. There are two major types of malnutrition:

  • Protein-energy malnutrition - resulting from deficiencies in any or all nutrients
  • Micronutrient deficiency diseases - resulting from a deficiency of specific micronutrients

Protein-energy malnutrition consist of three types of protein-energy malnutrition in children like i. Acute malnutrition (Wasting Thinness) ii. Chronic malnutrition  (Stunting shortness) iii. Acute and chronic malnutrition (Under weight). Similarly another study reported about the malnourishment showed that when someone's malnourished, they don't get enough to eat. Beyond simply being hungry, someone who's malnourished doesn't get the nutrients they need to be healthy. In other words, malnourishment –means lack of proper nutrition, caused by not having enough to eat and not eating enough of the right things. In a very simple word malnourished person suffers from malnutrition.  If someone is malnourished, the signs and symptoms of malnutrition include: i. fatigue (tiredness) and low energy. ii. dizziness. iii. poor immune function (which can harm the body's ability to fight off infections), iv. dry, scaly skin. v. swollen and bleeding gums, vi. decaying teeth. During this study, the role of the major sign and symptom of malnutrition, major causes of malnutrition, Diagnosis and different step of diagnosis, Treatment types and Prevention are very important. There should be a balanced intake of carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals, as well as plenty of fluids, and especially water. People with ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, alcoholism, and other health issues will receive appropriate treatment for their condition. In the light of above study, it is concluded that the maximum problems of different disease and death are created in million to the youth of world particularly the children under the age of 5 years due to malnutrition and malnourished. It is therefore proposed that the government as well as the parents should take the responsibility to provide the enough food with complete balance of essential nutrients like carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamin, mineral etc to control the different disease as well as the death of the youth of the world like South Asia particularly in Pakistan.

Biography:

 Ph.D. candidate and researcher in the Life Innovation Design Lab. , the graduate school of technology management, Ritsumeikan University, Osaka, Japan. • Co-Founder of EatSafe.ph which is an innovative platform, first in the world, that has a dedicated mission of enhancing the consumer-driven food safety and hygiene standards in the Philippines. • Senior advisor and shareholder of Food Safety and Hygiene Academy of the Philippines FoodSHAP. • Conducted several types of research comparing the functional food production and safety regulations in Japan, USA, China, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore. • Masters in Business Administration MBA specialized in International Business & Marketing, Kwansei Gakuin University KGU, Hyogo, Japan.

Abstract:

The World Health Organization states that everyone should play a role and contribute to food hygiene. In this article, we introduce the first online consumer based platform for Restaurant Hygiene Reviews, a platform that may provide a transparent channel for consumers to play their role in food hygiene. While public purchase decisions may be significantly affected by Online Consumer Reviews, currently there are no websites dedicated for consumers to add Restaurant Hygiene Reviews (RHRs), which is an expression we coined in this article. The new platform helps consumers put food hygiene reviews by answering a series of questions while at any restaurant, and it also gives them an option to report food hygiene violations to the authorities. This website may help future research if the data collected is analyzed to understand trends of food hygiene violations noticed by the public, we also plan to have annual awards for best restaurant in food hygiene based on consumer reviews. The questionnaire provided may also contribute to consumer food hygiene education. This platform may bring food hygiene to the context of daily life and add pressure on the restaurant industry to follow food hygiene requirements, leading to a positive impact on environmental health.

Abstract:

Sustentation of homeostatic processes is the basic principle of vital activity of organism. Even small swings of concentration of some metabolites in the blood, especially glucose, lead to a violation of course of metabolic processes and pose a threat to viral activity of organism. Neuro-hormonal system, cytokine system and number of cell signaling systems participate in regulation of rate of metabolic processes. The influence of pharmaceutical preparations on these regulation systems can promote the development of serious complications, so there is an active search of natural food compounds with high bioactivity. The greatest interest in this situation is fucoidan, which is sulfated polysaccharide of brown seaweed. It is shown that it: (1) Supports the work of the central nervous system by moderately reducing the death of cholinergic neurons and maintaining the level of dopamine, (2) interferes with the development of hormonal imbalance, (3) promotes a decrease in the level of inflammatory cytokines in the blood and maintenance of the concentration of proinflammatory, (4) improves the functioning of the insulin cascade signaling systems at the mTOR kinase level by activating the translation process, (5) leads to a decrease in free radicals (antioxidant) and the restoration of their level (a prooxidant), and (6) supports the homeostasis of the coagulation system due to anticoagulant and procoagulant properties. In this way, fucoidan should be attributed to nutraceuticals that promote health, improve quality and longevity of a person.

Abstract:

Poultry is to a rather high extent perishable and will quickly become rotten if kept in inappropriate conditions. Using active antimicrobial coating is one of the methods for prolonging the shelf life of such products. In this study, a sample of uncoated chicken fillet was used as control sample and another chicken fillet samples with active antimicrobial coatings of chitosan and an active chitosan-nissan coating were used as the experimental sample. The chicken fillets coated with the abovementioned active coatings were packaged to prevent contamination with conventional cellophane and the smart indicator, as the color indicator of bromothymol blue in this study (5 ml indicator was added between the two layers of cellophane in 5×6 dimensions), was packaged in both packages containing chicken fillet with active coating and the control sample without active coating. Then, the samples were stored at 4ºC for seven days and the microbiological tests (total bacterial count) of TVN and pH tests were performed for 1, 3, 5 and 7 days. Finally, the relationship between these tests and the change in the color of chicken fillet was investigated. The results of this study indicated that the Bromothymol blue color at the pH range of 6-7, being blue in alkali pH and yellow acidic pH, can be used for evaluating the chicken fillet corruption packaged with active coatings.

Abstract:

Nutrition is the basis of life activity, but in recent years it has been the main cause of morbidity and mortality in humans. Apparently we are missing very important aspects in the science of nutrition. All the theories of balanced nutrition are aimed at solving issues of the nutrition safety and adequacy. Nutrition is primarily aimed at ensuring the repair and renewal of protein and cellular structures and the storage of excess energy flow. This process occurs due to the secretion of the insulin hormone and the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. However, this leads to a loss of efficiency-well-fed animal is not a hunter. Currently, a number of proposed products to ensure the rehabilitation processes, which are presented in the form of Food pyramid. When we work, we use the energy reserves of the body. This is the so-called endogenous nutrition, which are presented in the form of Energy pyramid. Nowadays the life style of a person has changed significantly. There is a decline in physical labor and a predominance of intellectual and operator activities, which led to a reduction in fat consumption and increased use of glucose. This led to the development of a deficit of the one energy source (glucose), against an excess of the other-fats. An energy imbalance has been developed that contributes to the increase in metabolic pathologies-diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases. It is necessary to contribute to the correction of energy imbalance, through the use of specialized products in the phase of work or in the post-absorbent period. Based on such principles, we have developed a specialized product for feeding obese patients, to which English patent GB 2496119 of January 22, 2014 was received. This product does not induce the secretion of insulin, so working capacity remains; it improves the glucose homeostasis in reduced diet and prevents the development of functional disorders that accompany the usual technology directed to body weight reduction.

Abstract:

Prunus persica (L.) Batsch is a mesocarp and endocarp of the fruit was tested and proved to be a potent scavenger of free radicals like nitrous oxide, hydroxyl ions, ferrous ions. The fruit was also tested for its beta carotene, vitamin A, vitamin C, mineral and crude fiber contents. The toxicity study (LD50) showed no mortality up to a maximum dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Further there were no remarkable changes in animal behavior, body and organ weight. Hematological parameters (RBC, WBC, hemoglobin), biochemical parameters (urea, uric acid, creatinine, aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase) showed no significant changes compared to control models. Histopathological study showed no adverse effects on hepatic, kidney and pancreatic tissues. Hence the studies proved that Prunus persica fruit is a potent candidate against the oxidants and thereby a better solution for the diseases associated.

Abstract:

Obesity is a complex, multi-factorial disease that is becoming increasingly common among adults and children worldwide. Once considered a problem only in developed countries, overweight and obesity are own dramatically on the rise in the developing countries as well, particularly in urban setting this is particular concern for health professionals because according to recent NIH study, obese individuals have 50 to 100% increased risk of premature death from all causes compared to normal weight individuals. The National Heart Lungs and Blood Institutes (NHLBI) clinical guideline on the identification evaluation and treatment of overweight and obesity in adults states next to smoking, obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death in the world specially US today. Obese individuals have second increased risk of diabetes coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, stroke, gallbladder disease, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, respiratory problems and certain types of cancers (endometrial, breast, prostate and colon), all of which increase of mortality. The life expectancy of moderately obese person could be shortened by 2 to 5 years while the life expectancy of morbidly obese man with a BMI greater than 40 kg/m2 is likely to be reduced by almost 13 years. The WHO predicts that death from diabetes complication will increase 50% worldwide in the United States. A report from the non-profit business group conference board suggests obesity is costing United States business $45 million annually in medical expenses and lost productivity. The NH estimates total costs for obesity treatment to be approximately $17 million. There is strong evidence that a modest weight loss of 10% weight will result in reduction of blood pressure, fasting glucose and lipid levels. Treatment should be aggressive for obese individuals who have three or more of the following risk factors: cigarette smoking, hypertension, high LDL-cholesterol levels, low HDL cholesterol levels elevated fasting glucose levels and lipids levels, low HDL cholesterol levels, elevated fasting glucose levels and family history of coronary heart disease and age over 45 to 55 years for men and women, respectively. The best way to prevent obesity is to change the setting of eating habits plus of daily routine by adding small changes in your life like using stairs instead of elevator, drinking a lot of water, shifting to organic food, exposure of sunlight and 30 minutes exercise. If you are less motivated person and at the same time you want to escape yourself from obesity then go through this link. Always think about the result you will get after such struggle and hard work.
