WHO: Diet, Nutrition and Prevention of Chronic Diseases

At the most basic level, our survival is dependent on healthy food and even more basic is the nutrient levels contained within. LIMU Brand dietary supplements are packed with what our body's need to not only survive, but thrive.

From the World Health Organization:

"Facts

• Up to 2.7 million lives could be saved annually with sufficient fruit and vegetable consumption.

• Low fruit and vegetable intake is among the top 10 selected risk factors for global mortality.

• Worldwide, insufficient intake of fruit and vegetables is estimated to cause around 14% of gastrointestinal cancer deaths, about 11% of ischaemic heart disease deaths and about 9% of stroke deaths.

• Low fruit and vegetable intake is among the top 10 risk factors contributing to attributable mortality, according to evidence presented in World Health Report 2003. Up to 2.7 million lives could potentially be saved each year with sufficient global fruit and vegetable consumption. Fruits and vegetables as part of the daily diet could help prevent major noncommunicable diseases (NCD) such as cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers. Eating a variety of vegetables and fruits clearly ensures an adequate intake of most micronutrients, dietary fibres and a host of essential non-nutrient substances. As well, increased fruit and vegetable consumption can help displace foods high in saturated fats, sugar or salt.

• Worldwide, low intake of fruits and vegetables is estimated to cause about 19% of gastrointestinal cancer, about 31% of ischemic heart disease and 11% of stroke. Of the global burden attributable to low fruit and vegetable consumption, about 85% was from cardiovascular disease (CVD) and 15% from cancers. The estimated levels of current fruit and vegetable intake vary considerably around the world ranging from less than 100g/day in less developed countries, to about 450 g/day in Western Europe.

A recent WHO/FAO expert consultation report on diet, nutrition and prevention of chronic diseases, sets population nutrient goals and recommends intake of a minimum of 400 g of fruits and vegetables per day for the prevention of chronic diseases such as heart diseases, cancer, diabetes and obesity. The report states that there is convincing evidence that fruits and vegetables decrease the risk for obesity, and evidence that they probably decrease the risk of diabetes. Further, there is convincing evidence that fruit and vegetables lower the risk for CVD. (The report specifies that the tubers, e.g. potatoes, cassava, should not be included in fruits and vegetables.)

A high-level international review on fruit and vegetable consumption and cancer risk, coordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), concluded that eating fruits and vegetables may lower the risk of cancer, particularly cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. IARC estimates that the preventable fraction of cancer due to low fruit and vegetable intake falls into the range of 5-12 % and up to 20-30% for upper gastro-intestinal tract cancers world-wide.

WHO’s mandate

WHO’s mandate is to improve public health around the world with particular emphasis on decreasing inequalities in health. In May 2002, WHO was requested by the Member States to develop a Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health in the context of the rising burden of chronic diseases. During a series of regional consultations to develop the strategy, Member States stressed to WHO the importance of working proactively with them to assist in increasing the consumption of fruit and vegetables. With this obligation and the above-cited scientific base, WHO aims to actively promote an increase in fruit and vegetable intake worldwide, especially in developing countries. Incorporation of fruit and vegetable consumption as part of national noncommunicable disease (NCD) prevention and school health programmes is a central aim."

The Cancer - Anorexia Link

Do You think Your life is Not touched by Anorexia? Think again.

As this article from The National Cancer Institute clearly shows, if Cancer is present so too is Anorexia very likely it's companion.

Fight back against these deadly "diseases" with NUTRITION and win! Even if You have to go through the drug treatments and surgery options available, Your Body NEEDS All the Right Nutrients in the Right Form.



Overview of Nutrition in Cancer Care

Cancer and cancer treatments may cause nutrition-related side effects.

The diet is an important part of cancer treatment. Eating the right kinds of foods before, during, and after treatment can help the patient feel better and stay stronger. To ensure proper nutrition, a person has to eat and drink enough of the foods that contain key nutrients (vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, fat, and water). For many patients, however, some side effects of cancer and cancer treatments make it difficult to eat well. Symptoms that interfere with eating include anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, mouth sores, trouble with swallowing, pain, depression, and anxiety. Appetite, taste, smell, and the ability to eat enough food or absorb the nutrients from food may be affected. Malnutrition (lack of key nutrients) can result, causing the patient to be weak, tired, and unable to resist infections or withstand cancer therapies. Eating too little protein and calories is the most common nutrition problem facing many cancer patients. Protein and calories are important for healing, fighting infection, and providing energy.

Anorexia and cachexia are common causes of malnutrition in cancer patients.

Anorexia (the loss of appetite or desire to eat) is a common symptom in people with cancer. Anorexia may occur early in the disease or later, when the tumor grows and spreads. Some patients may have anorexia when they are diagnosed with cancer. Almost all patients who have widespread cancer will develop anorexia. Anorexia is the most common cause of malnutrition in cancer patients.
Cachexia is a wasting syndrome that causes weakness and a loss of weight, fat, and muscle. It commonly occurs in patients with tumors of the lung, pancreas, and upper gastrointestinal tract and less often in patients with breast cancer or lower gastrointestinal cancer. Anorexia and cachexia often occur together. Weight loss can be caused by eating fewer calories, using more calories, or a combination of the two. Cancer cachexia is not the same as starvation. A healthy person's body can adjust to starvation by slowing down its use of nutrients, but in cancer patients, the body does not make this adjustment.

Good eating habits during cancer care help the patient cope with the effects of the cancer and its treatment.

Nutrition therapy can help cancer patients get the nutrients needed to maintain body weight and strength, prevent body tissue from breaking down, rebuild tissue, and fight infection. Eating guidelines for cancer patients can be very different from the usual suggestions for healthful eating. Nutrition recommendations for cancer patients are designed to help the patient cope with the effects of the cancer and its treatment. Some cancer treatments are more effective if the patient is well nourished and getting enough calories and protein in the diet. People who eat well during cancer treatment may even be able to handle higher doses of certain treatments. Being well-nourished has been linked to a better prognosis (chance of recovery).

The Town of Nogood

The Town of Nogood

My friend, have you heard of the town of Nogood,

On the banks of the River Slow,

Where blooms the Waitawhile flower fair,

Where Sometimeorother scents the air,

And the soft Goeasies grow?

It lies in the Valley of Whatstheuse,

In the Province of Letterslide.

That Tiredfeeling is native there,

It's the home of the reckless Idontcare,

Where the Giveitups abide.

It stands at the bottom of Lazyhill,

And easy to reach, I declarre;

You've only to fold up your hands and glide

Down the slope of Weakwill's toboggan slide

To be landed quickly there.

The town is as old as the human race

And it grows with the flint of years.

It is wrapped in the fog of idler's dreams,

Its streets are paved with discarded schemes,

And sprinkled with useless tears.

The Collegebred fool and the Richman's heir

Are plentiful there, no doubt.

The rest of its crowd are a motley crew,

With every class except one in view-

The Foolkiller is barred out.

The town of Nogood is all hedged about

By the mountains of Despair.

No sentinelstands on its gloomy walls,

No trumpet to battle and triumph calls,

For cowards alone are there.

My friend, from the dead-alive town Nogood

If you would keep far away,

Just follow your duty through good and ill,

Take this for your motto, "I can, I will,"

And live up to it each day.

W. E. Penny

 

I've been so busy lately that I thought a bit of poetry break was in order. A whimsical prose, yes, but I do enjoy the Poe like setting that this fable paints as it's real life ramifications of being in a place just such as this would be one well indeed to miss.  

Have a Great day filled with blessings of joy and peace with enlightenment and prosperity alway!
