Dietary acid load and acid-base balance in exercise and health from adolescence to late adulthood

2018

This thesis investigated whether dietary acid load has either short-term (4 to 7 days) or prolonged (12 weeks) effects on acid-base status at rest and during submaximal and maximal aerobic exercise; whether the effects of dietary acid load on acid-base status differ between adolescents, young adults and the elderly, and between men and women; and whether the changes in acid-base balance have a further effect on aerobic exercise performance. These questions were addressed in three different study settings in healthy and recreationally active men and women. In studies 1 and 2, which followed a crossover study design, participants were assigned in randomized order to follow a diet with a low o…

Leisure-time physical activity habits and abdominal adiposity in young adulthood : twin cohort and co-twin control studies

2018

Twin study designs were utilized to investigate how and what types of leisure- time physical activity (LTPA) are associated with abdominal adiposity in young adulthood taking into consideration diet and other selected health factors. The data of two studies were used: the longitudinal FinnTwin16 cohort and the clinical FITFATWIN study. In FinnTwin16, questionnaire data together with self- measured waist circumference (WC) of 3 383 (1 578 men) cohort members at mean ages 24.5 y and 34 y were used to study LTPA level and waist gain. Cross- sectional data of 4 027 (1 874 men) cohort members at mean age 34 y was used to study LTPA modes and WC. In FITFATTWIN study, ten monozygotic (MZ) male twi…

An Overview on the Associations between Health Behaviors and Brain Health in Children and Adolescents with Special Reference to Diet Quality.

2020

Unhealthy diet has been associated with overweight, obesity, increased cardiometabolic risk, and recently, to impaired cognition and academic performance. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the associations between health behaviors and cognition and academic achievement in children and adolescents under 18 years of age with a special reference to diet quality. Dietary patterns with a low consumption of fish, fruits, and vegetables, and high in fast food, sausages, and soft drinks have been linked to poor cognition and academic achievement. The studies on the associations between the high intake of saturated fat and red meat and low intake of fiber and high-fiber grain produ…

Disturbances in cholesterol, bile acid and glucose metabolism in peroxisomal 3-ketoacylCoA thiolase B deficient mice fed diets containing high or low…

2014

SPE IPM UB; International audience; : The peroxisomal 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase B (ThB) catalyzes the thiolytic cleavage of straight chain 3-ketoacyl-CoAs. Up to now, the ability of ThB to interfere with lipid metabolism was studied in mice fed a routinely laboratory chow enriched or not with the synthetic agonist Wy14,643, a pharmacological activator of the nuclear hormone receptor PPARα. The aim of the present study was therefore to determine whether ThB could play a role in obesity and lipid metabolism when mice are chronically fed a synthetic High Fat Diet (HFD) or a Low Fat Diet (LFD) as a control diet. To investigate this possibility, wild-type (WT) mice and mice deficient for Thb (Thb(…

Centenarians and diet: what they eat in the Western part of Sicily.

2012

Abstract This paper pays attention to the modifiable lifestyle factors such as diet and nutrition that might influence life extension and successful ageing. Previous data reported that in Sicily, the biggest Mediterranean island, there are some places where there is a high frequency of male centenarians with respect to the Italian average. The present data show that in Sicani Mountain zone there are more centenarians with respect to the Italian average. In fact, in five villages of Sicani Mountains, there were 19 people with an age range of 100–107 years old from a total population of 18,328 inhabitants. So, the centenarian number was 4.32-fold higher than the national average (10.37 vs. 2.…

Malaltia i salut en l'obra de Francesc Eiximenis

2010

Diversos autors han analitzat els voluminosos tractats de Francesc Eiximenis, especialment pel que fa a matèries relacionades amb la teologia moral, però també sobre altres temes, com la guerra i la pau, l’astrologia, el govern, la cuina i el menjar, i d’altres. En aquest article ens proposem apropar-nos a com Eiximenis tracta el tema dels hospitals, medicina, salut i malaltia. Eiximenis es preocupava de les necessitats del poble que sofria tot tipus de malalties; a part d’haver viscut durant diverses epidèmies, que provocà moltes morts a la península, també suggerí als jurats de València un bon sistema d’hospitals i on s’haurien de construir, i també els cridà l’atenció respecte de les def…

¡Para chuparse los dedos! La importancia de la gastronomía en el aula de E/LE

2014

La gastronomía es uno de los temas más recurrentes en la enseñanza de segundas lenguas, no solo por el aspecto meramente culinario, sino también debido a la carga cultural que lleva aparejada. En el caso del aprendizaje del español como lengua extranjera, la cocina juega un papel fundamental en el día a día de los alumnos en inmersión lingüística. La amplia oferta y variedad de productos, platos y dietas en ocasiones es ignorada por los alumnos por su falta de información o su adscripción a circuitos típicos de estudiantes en los que predominan los productos baratos y escasamente sanos. Por ello, «¡Para chuparse los dedos!» está concebida como una actividad de localización y descarte de los…
