Download or read book Front of Package Nutrition Rating Systems and Symbols written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, tremendous growth has occurred in the use of nutrition symbols and rating systems designed to summarize key nutritional aspects and characteristics of food products. These symbols and the systems that underlie them have become known as front-of-package (FOP) nutrition rating systems and symbols, even though the symbols themselves can be found anywhere on the front of a food package or on a retail shelf tag. Though not regulated and inconsistent in format, content, and criteria, FOP systems and symbols have the potential to provide useful guidance to consumers as well as maximize effectiveness. As a result, Congress directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to undertake a study with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to examine and provide recommendations regarding FOP nutrition rating systems and symbols. The study was completed in two phases. Phase I focused primarily on the nutrition criteria underlying FOP systems. Phase II builds on the results of Phase I while focusing on aspects related to consumer understanding and behavior related to the development of a standardized FOP system. Front-of-Package Nutrition Rating Systems and Symbols focuses on Phase II of the study. The report addresses the potential benefits of a single, standardized front-label food guidance system regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, assesses which icons are most effective with consumer audiences, and considers the systems/icons that best promote health and how to maximize their use.

She realized that nutrition played a critical role in helping children and adults to overcome their disabilities, and has pioneered the use of probiotics in this field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Food is the chief of all things, the universal medicine. . . . Food transmutes directly into body, mind, and spirit . . . creates our day-to-day health and happiness.” —from The Macrobiotic Path to Total Health Even in medical schools, alternative medicine is blossoming. Two thirds of them now offer courses in complementary healing practices, including nutrition. At the heart of this revolution is macrobiotics, a simple, elegant, and delicious way of eating whose health benefits are being confirmed at an impressive rate by researchers around the world. Macrobiotics is based on the laws of yin and yang—the complementary energies that flow throughout the universe and quicken every cell of our bodies and every morsel of the food we eat. Michio Kushi and Alex Jack, distinguished educators of the macrobiotic way, believe that almost every human ailment from the common cold to cancer can be helped, and often cured, by balancing the flow of energy (the ki) inside us. The most effective way to do this is to eat the right foods, according to our individual day-to-day needs. Now in this marvelous guide, they give us the basics of macrobiotic eating and living, and explain how to use this powerful source of healing to become healthier and happier, to prevent or relieve more than two hundred ailments, conditions, or disorders—both physical and psychological. This encyclopedic compendium of macrobiotic fundamentals, remedies, menus, and recipes takes into account the newest thinking and evolving practices within the macrobiotic community. The authors integrate all the information into a remarkable A to Z guide to macrobiotic healing—from AIDS, allergies, and arthritis, to cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. They also clearly explain what we need to know to start eating a true macrobiotic diet that will provide us with a complete balance of energy and nutrients. Living as we all do in environmental and climactic circumstances that are largely outside our personal control, it is vital that we follow a healthy lifestyle, including a flexible diet that we can adjust to meet our own individual needs. The Macrobiotic Path to Total Health gives us precisely the tools and the understanding we need to achieve this goal. Use it to build a strong, active body and a cheerful, resourceful mind.
Download or read book Before the dry fasting written by Sergey Filonov and published by Siberika Project. This book was released on with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second half of the 20th century, Russia conducted intensive scientific research on the subject of therapeutic fasting. Doctors studied the viability of this method in the treatment of mental disorders, bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, hypertension and other diseases. Extensive scientific material has been accumulated, explaining many of the processes that occur in the body during fasting and proving the safety and effectiveness of this method. The obtained results allowed the Ministry of Health to introduce wet and dry fasting as a medical treatment method at state medical institutions under its authority. Dry fasting was less thoroughly studied than wet fasting, so its recommended duration did not exceed 3 days. Barely any studies of longer dry fasting periods were conducted, but several doctors developed this field by working directly with patients. They conducted group fasts autonomously, outside large institutions, and were therefore unable to perform full-fledged experiments. One of these doctors is Sergey Filonov, the author of three books in Russian on dry fasting. His books are not the result of scientific research. They are the notes of a doctor, where the author summarizes his many years of experience and gives recommendations to those readers who want to put his knowledge into practice. In 2018, the revised materials from his books were released in two publications in Italian, and at the end of 2019 – in English (S. Filonov, 20 Questions and Answers about Dry Fasting). One of the features of prolonged dry fasting according to Sergey Filonov is a thorough preparation of the body in advance. The small brochure “Before Dry Fasting” contains a detailed description of cleansing procedures that can be conducted at home, such as intestinal and liver cleansing, recommended by Dr. Filonov prior to fasting, and includes the editor’s remarks on these procedures.
