Abstract:

It is quite humbling to know that most of the cells in our bodies are bacterial cells. Moreover, bacterial system is the largest organ in our body. There are more than a thousand different species in our body that lives in harmony with us. It is there for a good reason; that is helping us to stay healthy. The science of probiotics is mounting exponentially. There is a huge amount of research being done all over the world to demystify this unique system. The role of probiotics in clinical practice is expanding very fast; it is indicated in various gastrointestinal disorders, for example diarrheal illnesses whether that is infectious (Rota, C. Diff, etc.) or antibiotic induced or inflammatory in nature like inflammatory bowel disease. Others may include irritable bowel syndrome, recurrent abdominal pain and several others. Hostile environment like birth by cesarean section, formula fed, frequent use of antibiotics or severe chronic illness may affect the probiotic milieu negatively. These kinds of patients may benefit from restoring their bacterial system. Strong evidence based practice guidelines by international societies are limited; giving the huge number of different probiotics and the substantial differences in methodology of these studies.

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!

Emil Mukhamejanov

Fucoidan World LLP, Kazakhstan

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.

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.
