      How to use technology to affect/ modify eating behavior
  • s. The efficiency of all the interventions increased when coupled with tailored feedback and counselling. It was established that the scalable and sustainable properties of digital interventions have the potential to bring about adequate changes in the eating behaviour of individuals. Further research should concentrate on the appropriate personalisation of the interventions, according to the requirements of the individuals, and proper integration of behaviour change techniques to motivate long-term adherence.
  • Mediating variables, which can be personal, physical, environmental, behavioural, or familial, are important in the formation of dietary behaviours [13]. The most effective way to install changes in dietary behaviour is to alter one or more of the mediating variables [13]. For example, most children readily eat fruits and vegetables that they are familiar with [14], which may limit the variety of choices available to them. By exposing children to a greater variety of fruits and vegetables by increasing availability at home

  • Designing interventions to change dietary behaviour is a complex process, which includes identifying and prioritising all mediating variables, defining the types of change that are needed, and then implementing appropriate policies
  • Most strategies are currently based on intuition and the social, cultural, and economic characteristics of the target population rather than evidence-based interventions. Because different individuals may respond differently to the same message, additional research in the area of behavioural science is needed to develop strategic policies that will be effective for the majority of people in the community.

Are Animal Proteins Better for You Than Plant Proteins? | Cedars-Sinai - 0 views

  • urther studies have shown that eating more processed red meat may actually increase the risk of dying from heart disease. Processed meats include smoked meat, sausage, hot dogs, salami, bacon, and canned meat.
  • Some plant proteins, such as quinoa, are complete proteins—which means they contain all 9 essential amino acids that we need. Others are missing some amino acids, so it is important to eat a variety of foods to get all 9.

  • Eating soy protein in place of animal protein has been found to reduce bad cholesterol and triglycerides, which are linked to heart disease. Other studies have shown that soy contributes to blood sugar control and reduced body weight.

Software Will Not Eat Education | Technology and Learning | InsideHigherEd - 1 views

  • Hire enough faculty to have classes small enough so that the professors can get to know the students as individuals.

      To me, this is such a major point. I wonder, however, what the masses value. Human interaction doesn't come cheaply. I think that if a MOOC provides as much instructor interaction as a regular university course, then the university needs to rethink what they're doing. (And yes, I know this is the case in many instances, including some instances in which class size would allow greater instructor-student interaction). Thoughts?

Are you getting too much protein - Mayo Clinic Health System - 0 views

  • lthough adequate protein throughout the day is necessary, extra strength training is what leads to muscle growth, not extra protein intake. You can’t build muscle without the exercise to go with it.

      Extra protein doesnt add muscles .
  • Extra protein intake can also lead to elevated blood lipids and heart disease, because many high-protein foods you eat are high in total fat and saturated fat
    • nutraware79
       
      High protein means high fat diet content .
  • The recommended dietary allowance to prevent deficiency for an average sedentary adult is 0.8 g per kg of body weight. For example, a person who weighs 75 kg (165 pounds) should consume 60 g of protein a day.
