RESUMO
ObjectiveTo find the type of dietary structure that can effectively prevent or improve postprandial sleepiness in the Chinese population， and provide scientific basis and solutions for improving or avoiding postprandial sleepiness. MethodsIn this study， a six-day dietary intervention trial was conducted for 20 volunteers on four different diets （normal diet， high-fat diet， high-carbohydrate diet and healthy diet）. ResultsThe results showed that sleepiness increased after all four types of meals， but decreased after 30 minutes in the healthy balanced diet group； meanwhile， it increased for 60 minutes before it declined in the high-carbohydrate， high-fat， and normal diet （control） group. At 60 minutes after meal， the drowsiness of the healthy balanced diet group was the weakest， and that of the high carbohydrate diet groups was the strongest， while that of the normal diet group and the high fat diet group was intermediate （P<0.000 1）. Postprandial sleepiness was positively correlated with intake of carbohydrate and manganese， and negatively correlated with intake of protein， some mineral elements and vitamins. ConclusionThese results suggest that controlling carbohydrate and fat intake and appropriately increasing the intake of mineral elements and vitamins in a healthy and balanced diet can significantly improve and prevent postprandial sleepiness.
RESUMO
Background: Childhood obesity is a risk factor for subsequent development of diabetes mellitus, hypertension etc. Rural children show lower levels of obesity and higher rates of malnutrion. Objectives: Study seeks to access the prevalence of obesity and overweight among higher secondary students in rural Kerala).Methods: 1577 students were selected from schools picked randomly in and around vadavukode block in Ernakulam district, Kerala, of which 761 from private and 816 from government and aided school. Their height, weight and BMI was recorded and plotted in WHO growth charts to assess stunting, wasting, overweight and obesity.Results: No difference was found among the government and private schools. The finding from the data tally with the results from other parts of rural India with overweight and obese children (around 10%). The study found 44% children were found to be undernourished. Malnutrition was noted in both private and public schools possible highlighting knowledge deficit on Nutrition may be the cause of malnutrition. Only 47% students were in the normal range.Conclusions: Rural Kerala is afflicted with a serious problem of undernutrition and lower levels of obesity. There was striking prelidiction for obesity was noted among stunted children in the study highlighting the complex nature of the nutrition problem in India where malnutrition and obesity coexist and cause double burden of diseases. The solution is to encourage the message of healthy living, equally to the over nourished and the undernourished, where balanced diet and exercise as a way of life is encouraged.
RESUMO
Nutritional therapy constitutes the basis for the integrated treatment of diabetes.It is essential for diabetic dietary management to be an individualized and balanced diet pattern based on total calorie control Carbohydrates is the main dietary ingredient to affect postprandial blood glucose levels.Dietary structure,way of eating,and physical exercise all contribute to the control of postprandial blood glucose levels.
RESUMO
Objective To discuss the diet balance by the enteral nutritional support for patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods We divided 47 patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation into the balanced-diet group and the ordinary-diet group. The balanced-diet group received diet according to "diet exchange share" method and took food by the proportional share of 5 kinds of food. The ordinary-diet group took food according to the habits of patients.The effect of nutritional support was compared between the two groups. Results The body weight,white blood cell,hemoglobulin,platelet,total protein and proprotein in the balanced-diet group at the 90th day were different from those at the 30th day after transplantation(t value were -8.5,-4.7,-4.2,-10.2,-3.9,-14.1 and -80.9),P ＜ 0.01.In the ordinary-diet group only body weight,platelet and proprotein at the 90th were statistically different from those at the 30th day after transplantation (t value were -4.5,-4.6 and -14.9), P ＜ 0.01. Conclusion Balanced diet contributed to the rehabilitation and nutritional support after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
