      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.

Achieving Optimal Post-Exercise Muscle Protein Remodeling in Physically Active Adults t... - 1 views

  • Recent position stands from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, Dietitians of Canada and the American Colleges of Sports Medicine [25], and the International Society of Sports Nutrition [26] recommend a protein intake of 1.2–2.0 g·kg body weight (BW)−1·day−
  • With these factors in mind, it is evident that resistance exercise is fundamentally anabolic and may actually shift the utilization of dietary amino acids towards muscle protein synthesis and thus a greater ratio of circulating amino acids are being retained by the body’s largest protein pool (skeletal muscle) in both the fasting and fed states. Hence, a person engaged in a regular resistance exercise training program is likely at the lower end of required protein intakes to optimize muscle adaptive response when compared with those engaged in other exercise activities. For example, Kato et al. [29] have demonstrated that protein requirements are slightly elevated for endurance-trained adults consuming an energy-balanced diet (~1.8 g·kg body weight (BW)−1·day−1).
  • Moreover, regular resistance exercise training results in increased whole body nitrogen retention when compared with the untrained state

  • ~1.6 g·kg body weight (BW)−1·day−1 is maximal to support resistance-exercise-induced strength and lean mass gain in healthy adults in energy balance
  • Recently, it has been shown that the ingestion of beef and skim milk (both providing 30 g of protein) were equally as effective in stimulating post-exercise muscle protein synthesis rates throughout a 0–5 h post-exercise period [39]. Similarly, egg ingestion has been shown to be effective at stimulating the post-exercise muscle protein synthetic response [41]. Additionally, there is emerging evidence that the food matrix in which the protein is consumed may have a direct influence on the post-exercise muscle protein synthetic response in healthy young adults.

Adverse Effects Associated with Protein Intake above the Recommended Dietary Allowance ... - 1 views

  • However, high protein diets (defined as an intake above the current RDA) are promoted intensively by the nutritional supplements industry and they are considered to be “the gold standard” by many athletes (especially bodybuilders) for muscle development and/or body fat loss.

  • Diet which is high in protein generates a large amount of acid in body fluids [2]. The kidneys respond to this dietary acid challenge with net acid excretion, and, concurrently, the skeleton supplies buffer by active resorption of bone resulting in excessive calcium loss [2]. Moreover, acid loading directly inhibits renal calcium reabsorption leading to hypercalciuria in combination with the exorbitant bone loss

      High protein intake may lead to excessive bone loss.
  • igh levels of dietary protein, at least a portion of the increase in urinary calcium reflected increased bone resorption [1
  • There was a consistent increase in urinary calcium with the high-protein diet averaging 88% above control in the normals and 82% in the patients
  • An increase in urinary calcium excretion was found indicating that the animal protein-induced calciuric response could be a risk factor for the development of osteoporosis
  • An increase in vegetable protein intake and a decrease in animal protein intake may decrease bone loss and the risk of hip fracture [
  • Additionally, dietary excess (2 g/kg/day) in animal protein for 1 week led to significant changes in urinary calcium excretion rates
  • releases calcium to be excreted by the kidney. This protein-induced hypercalciuria could lead to the formation of calcium kidney stones
  • animal protein is also the major dietary source of purines, the precursors of uric acid. Excessive intake of animal protein is therefore associated with hyperuricosuria, a condition present in some uric acid stone formers [5]. Uric acid solubility is largely determined by the urinary pH. As the pH falls below 5.5 to 6.0, the solubility of uric acid decreases, and uric acid precipitates, even if hyperuricosuria is not present
  • animal protein-rich diet was associated with the highest excretion of undissociated uric acid due to the reduction in urinary pH
  • arian cancers. Thus, reducing red meat intake might lower the risk for several common neoplasms [26]. Moreover, highprotein/high meat diet could cause disorders of liver function and precipitated progression of coronary artery disease. Hyperalbuminemia and elevated transaminases have been associated with high-protein diet [27]. Individuals on high protein supplements developed intermittent abdominal pain, transient elevations in transaminases, and hyperalbuminemia without there being any identifiable cause.

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.

Understanding Context Collapse Can Mean a More Fulfilling Online Life | Rewire - 2 views

  • Tech researchers say this is partially the fault of a phenomenon called "context collapse," a sociological concept that describes what happens when many social groups exist in one space.Here's how context collapse plays out online. When you have Facebook friends numbering in the thousands, your audience becomes a little difficult to speak to all at once.In an article for sapiens.org, Sophia Goodman described it as “trying to comfortably chat with your mother, bar buddy, work colleague, and ex-boyfriend at the same time.”In a place where parents, colleagues, bosses and friends all congregate, you can find it difficult to be yourself. Or, rather, to decide which self to be.

  • There are three basic strategies people have adopted to deal with the reality of posting online.The "lowest common denominator” strategy, or only making posts that you're comfortable with anybody seeing, staying away from anything controversial or overly personal.“Social syphentation,” or migrating your conversation to a place where you have a smaller audience, like a group text, Instagram DMs or Snapchat, where the context and audience are clear.People are also avoiding context collapse by turning to more ephemeral mediums, like Instagram stories and Snapchat. These posts don’t stick around, so you can share without as much worry about the consequences.

      Lowest common denominator is usually the way I go. Although, I am opening up more within my social media outlets

Digigogy: Collection or Curation? - 2 views

  •  
    This is a very informative blog post that examines the difference between collections and curations. Admittedly, I have never given the subject too much thought, but the author explains it in a way that highlights concepts that differentiate the two. Some notable points made are that curations involve deeper critical thinking skills, they can be defined as "purposeful collections" and subjective based on the understanding of the curator.
  •  
    I have been thinking about collection versus curation in our readings this week. Your article made me think about a discussion we have at home. My husband is a collector and he talks often about how museums only show, curate certain pieces. He often comments that he hesitates to donate to a museum because it could be such that the pieces are never shown or are sold. I think this ties into the subjective nature.

  • Fast-forward to 2021, and something big has happened within the social media research space. Twitter has released a new product track, the ‘academic research product track’. This allows academic researchers free access to the complete archive of historical public tweets (by historical data we mean tweets posted in the past). This is significant news because for many researchers without a large budget or with limited time, historical data has until now been out of reach.
