Download or read book Environmental Influences on Dietary Intake of Children and Adolescents written by Jessica S. Gubbels and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood is a crucial period for establishing lifelong healthy nutritional habits. The environment has an important influence on children’s dietary intake. This book focuses on the influence of environmental factors on the dietary intake of children and adolescents (0–18 years of age) within various settings including home, early care and education, school, college, holiday clubs, neighborhoods, and supermarkets. The reported studies examine a variety of factors within these settings, including the influence of cooking and parenting, teacher style, resources and barriers within various settings, marketing, and many other factors. The dietary intake behaviors examined include snacking, fruit and vegetable intake, beverage intake, and also nutrition in general. In addition, several papers focus on problems caused by inadequate nutrition, such as hunger and obesity. This work underlines the importance of the environment in influencing children’s and adolescents’ dietary intake. In addition, the papers identified some crucial barriers and facilitators for the implementation of environmental changes to enable a healthy diet for young children. Therefore, it provides some important directions for both future research and practice.
Download or read book Nutrition Guide for Physicians and Related Healthcare Professions written by Ted Wilson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fully updated and expanded third edition is a reference guide on nutrition and its clinical implications for health and disease through the life-cycle. The book endeavors to address the needs of those who would most benefit from up-to-date information on recent advances in the field of nutrition. Written by experts in the field, chapters cover a diverse range of nutritional areas that present a succinct overview of recent thinking and discoveries that have the greatest capacity to aid physicians and other healthcare professionals in improving the nutritional health of their clients. The text is divided into eight parts. Part one and two address the nutrient requirements and special nutrition-related issues for people across all stages of the lifespan—from pregnancy and infancy through the adolescent years to the older adult years. Part three summarizes the role of nutrition in the prevention and management of chronic conditions frequently seen in clinical practice, including obesity, diabetes, bone disorders, coronary heart disease, hypertension, and cancer. Part four describes different dietary patterns (the Mediterranean diet, the DASH diet, the vegetarian diet, and the ketogenic diet). Part five describes nutrition challenges specific to surgery and several different acute diseases and disorders (gastrointestinal disorders, food allergy and intolerance, diseases of the liver and pancreas, kidney disease, eating disorders, bariatric surgery, sarcopenia, and drug interactions with food). Part six looks at different aspects of the diet (coffee, tea, dietary fat, dietary sugars, energy drinks, alcohol, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and the gut microbiome). Part seven examines a range of factors that influence dietary health decisions (creating nutritional behavior change, methods for assessing nutritional status, Dietary Reference Intakes, an overview of the diet and food guides, food labels, and sources of nutrients). Finally, part eight looks at dietary supplements (including the problem of dishonest marketing) and false and misleading information in the area of nutrition. The growing nutritional impact of COVID-19 is discussed throughout the book where appropriate. Nutrition Guide for Physicians and Related Healthcare Professions Third Edition serves as a comprehensive guide that is organized by age/lifespan, nutrition therapy in relation to chronic disease and COVID, diet and its role in prevention, dietary requirements and recommendations, and influencing health decisions for the patient. It is a valuable resource of practical and easy-to-access information on nutrition for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and others in their daily practice.
Download or read book The Impact of Beverage Type Intake on Energy Intake and Weight in 12 month old Low income Hispanic Infants written by Carolina Espinosa and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the 2008 Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance Survey, low-income Hispanic children aged 2-4 years have the highest prevalence for overweight at 18.4 % compared to non-Hispanic Whites at 12.6 % and non-Hispanic Blacks at 11.8 %. Current research has found that sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake may be a major factor contributing to the over consumption of calories among children. Food preferences can also develop as early as the first of year of life. Therefore, if SSBs become part of a regular diet as early as the first year of life it has the potential to reinforce the preference for sweet tasting foods for which infants are biologically predisposed. The objective of this was to look at how sweetened-beverage intake impacted overall energy intake and weight status among 12-month-old infants from low-income Hispanic households. Participants were divided into non-SSB consumers and SSB consumers. It was found that non-SSB consumers ingested significantly more fluid ounces of plain milk, consumed significantly less carbohydrate (grams/day), had a significantly higher percentage of calories come from fat, and ingested significantly less vitamin C than the SSB consumers. For participants above the 85th percentile for weight for length, the non-SSB consumers ingested significantly more calories from plain milk/formula Consumption of high-energy dense foods, such as sugar-sweetened beverages, is still an important aspect of the diet to target among Hispanics who are high risk for becoming overweight or obese.

Download or read book Food Marketing to Children and Youth written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-05-11 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating an environment in which children in the United States grow up healthy should be a high priority for the nation. Yet the prevailing pattern of food and beverage marketing to children in America represents, at best, a missed opportunity, and at worst, a direct threat to the health prospects of the next generation. Children's dietary and related health patterns are shaped by the interplay of many factorsâ€"their biologic affinities, their culture and values, their economic status, their physical and social environments, and their commercial media environmentsâ€"all of which, apart from their genetic predispositions, have undergone significant transformations during the past three decades. Among these environments, none have more rapidly assumed central socializing roles among children and youth than the media. With the growth in the variety and the penetration of the media have come a parallel growth with their use for marketing, including the marketing of food and beverage products. What impact has food and beverage marketing had on the dietary patterns and health status of American children? The answer to this question has the potential to shape a generation and is the focus of Food Marketing to Children and Youth. This book will be of interest to parents, federal and state government agencies, educators and schools, health care professionals, industry companies, industry trade groups, media, and those involved in community and consumer advocacy.
Download or read book The Effect of Varying the Portion Size and Energy Density of Foods and Milk on Preschool Children s Intake written by Samantha Kling and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serving larger portion sizes and energy-dense foods and beverages has robust effects on preschool childrens intake, and these factors are often implicated as the primary drivers in the obesity epidemic. Experimental studies have shown that variations in portion size and energy density (ED) have substantial, independent effects on childrens energy intake. The available data demonstrate that continuing to serve large portions has effects that persist for up to 24-hours in children, and for ED, the effects continue for up to 2 days. Since children are exposed to large portions of higher-ED foods, it is essential to investigate how these factors combine to influence preschool childrens intake, but the studies that have been conducted report inconsistent results. Furthermore, in these studies the main dish at the meal was the only item varied by portion size and ED, which does not represent the current eating environment in which other foods and beverages also vary in these properties. For this dissertation, two studies were designed to test the effect of varying both the portion size and ED of an entire meal (Study 1) and of milk (Study 2) on preschool childrens intake. Investigation of these effects will aid in the development of strategies to counter these environmental food cues and moderate energy intake.In Study 1, the effect of varying the portion size and ED of a meal of commonly consumed foods on childrens intake was evaluated. In a crossover design, lunch was served in 3 childcare centers once a week for 6 weeks to 120 children aged 3-5 years (14% overweight or obese). For the 6 meals, all items were served at 3 levels of portion size (100, 150, or 200%) and 2 levels of ED (100 or 142%). Lunch items were either lower- or higher-ED commercially available versions of chicken, macaroni and cheese, vegetable, applesauce, ketchup, and milk. Childrens ratings of the foods showed that the lower-ED and higher-ED items were equally well liked. Varying the ED of food and milk did not affect the total weight consumed across meals; however, serving larger portions significantly increased the weight eaten at both the lower- and higher-ED meals (P

Download or read book Taxing Caloric Sweetened Beverages Potential Effects on Beverage Consumption Calorie Intake and Obesity written by Travis A. Smith and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The link between high U.S. obesity rates and the over-consumption of added sugars, largely from sodas and fruit drinks, has prompted calls for a tax on caloric sweetened beverages (CSB). Faced with a tax, consumers may reduce consumption of these CSB and substitute non-taxed beverages, such as bottled water, juice, and milk. A tax-induced 20% price increase on CSB could cause an average reduction of 3.8 pounds of body weight over a year, for adults and an average of 4.5 pounds over a year, for children. Given these reductions in calorie consumption, results show an estimated decline in adult overweight prevalence and obesity prevalence, as well as the child at-risk-for-overweight prevalence and the overweight prevalence.
