Objective: To see the effect of binge eating on psychological as well as physical health among the different ethnic groups of Karachi. Method: The study was attempted to examine the differences of the level of stress, anxiety and physical illness between the Binge eaters and Non-binge eaters. Sample was drawn conveniently from the public and private sector universities and different residential area of Karachi like Lyari, Orangi, Korangi, Landhi, Garden west/east, Gulshan Iqbal, Agra Taj, Rinchorline, PECHS and PIDC. 120 individuals participated between the ages of 18 to 35 year. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was developed. The questions in this scale ask about feelings and thoughts during the last month. Binge Eating Scale is a sixteen-item questionnaire used to assess the presences of binge eating behavior indicative of an eating disorder. It was devised, Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) is developed by ACN Group. It is used for assessing physical illness and Short anxiety self-test is developed, which assess anxiety. To find out the differences ANOVA and t-test was calculated through the SPSS 22.0 Result: Of the 120 participants, 60 (50%) were males and 60 (50%) were females. Out of 120 participants there were 31 (25.8%) were binge eater and 89 (74.2) were non binge eater. There were 39 (32.5%) were married and 81 (67.5) were single. There were significant differences on the score of binge eating scale, patient health questionnaire-phq scale and self-anxiety test between binge and non-binge eater but there was a weak significant difference on the score of perceived stress scale. There was a significant difference among the different ethnic groups on binge and non-binge eating. Conclusion: It is concluded that binge eating effects the psychological as well as physiological health of individual and ethnicity also plays a role in eating behavior.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) leads to a restricted absorption and decreased intake of nutrients making these patients very vulnerable for the development or worsening of nutritional deficiencies. The present study evaluates the effectiveness of supplementation with a specialized Multivitamin (MVM) in comparison with a standard multivitamin. An open label, randomized, 12 month study was conducted comparing a specialized multivitamin in combination with 1000 mg Calcium, 1000 IU vitamin D and 28 mg elemental iron for premenopausal women (<45y) with a standard multivitamin supplement. Severe vitamin D deficiencies were treated in both groups with a drinkable ampule of 25.000 IU vitamin D. In total 145 patients underwent a RYGB of which 91 patients participated in the intervention group (specialized MVM) and 54 in the control group (standard MVM). The intervention group was analyzed prospectively while the standard group was analyzed retrospectively. Baseline characteristics were similar for both groups. Per protocol analysis demonstrated significant higher serum Vitamin B12 levels (p<0.001) for the intervention group. The control group even had a significant reduction of vitamin B12 concentrations over time (p<0.001). In addition, the intervention group showed higher vitamin D levels after surgery, even higher than the control group (p<0.001), although more patients received the D-cure in the control group (45% at 4 months and 26% at 7 months in comparison with 9% and 11% for the intervention group). To conclude, a specialized MVM with adjusted doses of vitamins and minerals is needed to resolve and/or prevent deficiencies after RYGB, especially vitamin B12 and vitamin D.

This study was conducted to assess the sensory quality and shelf life of nectarine fruits influenced by calcium chloride dipping and beeswax coating. The experiment was done under Holeta condition during the off season of 2018. Nectarine fruits of variety ‘89N-16N’ were harvested from holeta agricultural research center orchard and subjected to the combination of four levels (0%, 1.5%, 3.0%, and 4.5%) of CaCl2 and three levels (0%, 3%and 6%) of beeswax. The experiment was then arranged in completely randomized design with factorial arrangement in three replications, and all the treatments were stored at ambient condition. The data were collected every five days interval. The result revealed that, the sensory qualities and shelf life of nectarine fruits were positively affected by CaCl2 dipping and beeswax coatings. The best results were consistently obtained from the combination of 3.0% beeswax and 4.5% CaCl2 for most of the sensory quality attributes and storage periods. Hence, CaCl2 dipping and beeswax coatings particularly, 3% beeswax+4.5% CaCl2, could be considered for maintaining the sensory quality and extending the shelf life of nectarine fruits.

Policosanol is a long-chain alcohols mixture present in animal and plant waxes. It has been shown to have several biological effects such as lipid-lowering, antiplatelet aggregation, and relief of intermittent claudication. Few reports have shown the effect of policosanol on glucose level in different animal models; however, the mechanism is yet to be well understood especially in high-fat-diet-induced hyperglycaemia. We have extracted and characterized rice bran wax policosanol (RBWP) previously. To investigate the effects of Rice Bran Wax Policosanol (RBWP) on high-fat-diet-induced hyperglycaemia and fatty liver, Sprague dawley rats were fed with a high-fat diet containing 2.5% cholesterol and then treated for 8 weeks. The rats were divided into RBWP treated, in comparison with Normal Diet (ND) and High-Fat Diet (HFD) groups. Rats body weight, lipid profile, and plasma glucose were determined. Liver histology and transcriptional regulation of Adiponectin and LEPR genes were also evaluated. The results showed that RBWP significantly (P<0.05) reduced weight gain, improved lipid profile, plasma glucose, fat deposits in the liver; and increased hepatic mRNA expressions of Adiponectin and LEPR compared to HFD. The results suggest that RBWP attenuates high-fat-diet-induced hyperglycaemia and fatty liver through modulating Adiponectin and LEPR genes.

The food industry is bound to face some challenges in the future, one of them being in finding ways to feed a growing population set to reach up to 9 billion people by 2050 while maintaining food quality, in the meads of resource limitations and sustainable use of them. In this outlook, minimizing mineral deficits in human diet should help prevent health diseases, which are present majorly in developing countries but also in developed ones. Food industries may acquire a participating role in this problematic by producing functional foods. Calcium is one of the most abundant minerals in human organisms. It performs both structural and signaling functions, and its deficits are associated with the development of osteoporosis and similar pathologies. Following this matter, the use of foliar applications in order to increase the amount of minerals in the edible part of plants, will result in unprocessed foods with additional value, allowing the production of functional foods. From May to August of 2018, in one orchard located in the west region of Portugal, a biofortification itinerary was implemented. It was applied a total of seven foliar applications. The first two with two different products, calcium chloride and calcium nitrate, with three different concentrations each, and the other five applications used only calcium chloride, in higher concentrations.

Background: Overweight and obesity become a worldwide epidemic health problem. Unhealthy eating habits, fast food intake, and physical inactivity are factors that lead. Accelerating the economy makes Saudi Arabia the leading destination for foreign workers from neighboring countries in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia’s population stood at 30.8 million at the end of 2014, there were 20.7 million Saudis, making up 67 per-cent of the people, while the number of foreigners stood at 10.1 million or 33 percent. For foreign workers, scientific research on the incidence of overweight/obesity and related factors is nearly non-existent. Objective: The current research examined the disparities among male adult Saudi citizens and foreign workers residing in Qassim concerning obesity prevalence, eating habits, fast food intake, and physical activity. Methods: A cross-sectional study was employed among the 1200 male adults aged 20-49 years (600 Saudi citizens and 600 foreign workers). This research was drawn randomly from public centers in Qassim. Bodyweight and height were measured using standardized methods. Results: The results showed that overweight was highly prevalent among male adult Saudi citizens and foreign workers living in the Qassim region as a result of the altered lifestyle patterns, reduced physical activity, and unhealthy dietary habits. Conclusion: Saudi men have a significantly higher rate of obesity and a lower rate of physical activity levels. While healthy dietary patterns such as eating whole grains, fruits, and vegetables dimensioned among Saudi and foreign workers men, fast food consumption is widespread and will undoubtedly continue and increasing.

Objective: The aim of the study was to identify links between concrete negative emotional states and food intake amongst college students. The association of anger, sadness, stress, frustration, inadequacy, and fear were associated with unhealthy eating. Methods: One hundred and fifty college students completed a series of self-report questionnaires containing the Three-Factors Eating Questionnaire-Revised 21 (TFEQ-R21). Results: Significant positive correlation was found between emotional eating and negative emotions. In particular, students who scored high on the emotional eating scale were more likely to consume unhealthy foods (sweets and high-fat calorie foods) when experiencing anger, sadness, stress, frustration, inadequacy, and fear. Discussion: College students increased their food consumption in order to reduce their emotional distress and discomfort, evidencing by their emotional eating behavior during those periods in life. Conclusion: The inability of students to differentiate the physiological hunger from the emotional hunger resulted in the increase of food consumption when experiencing negative emotions, as a coping mechanism.

Why We Should Ban All Toxic Agricultural Practices of Using NPK Fertilizers? Abstract PRC Global Pte. Ltd Singapore, is a signatory to FAO GSP partnership and have initiated pilot projects in Northern Nigeria to grow crops like rice, cassava, sorghum, and banana and sesame seed without the use of toxic chemical fertilizer named NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphate, and Potassium). Ammonia Nitrate is a component for bomb fabrication, and a huge carbon and polluted industries at various mining sites all over the World. The other 2 compositions of NPK fertilizers like phosphates and potassium are just as toxic and polluted to land, and water system. Civilization and history have proven that crops agriculture for human consumptions do not need toxic NPK fertilizers that are toxic and contaminating to water system, soil, health of human and animals.

Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum) collected from Morang district, Nepal was studied to explore the effect of roasting at 180oC for 5, 10, 15 and 20 min and soaking (12 h followed by sun drying followed by roasting at 180oC for 15 minutes) on its bioactive compounds (flavonoids, polyphenol and anti-oxidant activity), nutritional and anti-nutritional compounds (hydrocyanic acid and oxalate). The crude extracts of samples were prepared using 80% methanol by maceration technique for analysis of total flavonoid content, polyphenol content and free radical scavenging activity. Roasting of flaxseed had significant impact on its bioactive, nutritional and anti-nutritional components. Flavonoid content increased significantly (p<0.001) from 45.33 ± 5.03 mg QE/100 g to 238.16 ± 8.8 mg QE/100 g on roasting whereas there was no significant increment of flavonoid on soaking. Polyphenols content decreased significantly (p<0.001) on roasting and soaking followed by roasting. The highest amount of antioxidant activity was found to be in raw and 15 min roasting i.e 1.57 mg AAE/mg DM. And antioxidant activity was further increased on soaking followed by roasting. Hydrocyanic acid on raw sample was 649.3 ± 1.41 mg/kg decreased significantly (p<0.001) to 115.2 ± 10.41 mg/kg at 15 min roasting. Similarly, oxalate content decreased significantly (p<0.001) on roasting. Soaking followed by roasting further decreased HCN and oxalate content significantly (p<0.001). Protein, fat and fiber content were decreased significantly whereas calcium content increased significantly on 15min roasting. Similarly, on soaking followed by roasting, protein, fat and calcium content were decreased and crude fiber increased significantly.

Abstract For the first time the influence of the nutrition surface of 100, 90, 80, and 70 (plants/m2) on the mizuna’s growth, development and productivity (efficiency) was studied in open-air hydroponics conditions. It was revealed that during 2 vegetation periods the variant of 90 plants/m2 nutrition surface provides favorable conditions (1.3 times-2.1 times) for the high yield of mizuna in hydroponic culture. At the same time, plant raw material, received in conditions of different planting concentrations, exceeded soil culture 1.1 times-2.3 times. In mizuna leaves the amount of Ca was higher in 9%-64% in the variants of 80 plants/m2 and 90 plants/m2 nourishment surface. Although the low content of Vitamin C was observed in a variant 90 plants/m2 (in 24%-46%), but it wasn’t inferior the 100 plants/m2 and 70 plants/m2 varieties with the output, at the same time it exceeded the other variants 1.4-1.7 times.
