The formulation of complementary foods using available/affordable staple food commodities is one approach that has been recommended to reduce malnutrition in children. This approach is achievable because the foods are intended to be prepared at household level. Various communities are endowed with staple foodstuff that can be utilized to formulate foods that are suitable to their settings. Where the food does not contain sufficient of any nutrient, especially the essential ones, correction may be needed. Objective: The study sought to know through analyses, the amino acid, fatty acid and mineral element composition of the composite blend of a legume-cereal complementary food (SBG-C), and to ascertain its potential in meeting the recommended daily nutrient intake of infants. Methods: Gas-Liquid chromatography, Reversed-Phase high performance liquid chromatography and atomic emission spectrophotometer were used to determine fatty acid, amino acid and mineral content of the blend respectively. Results were compared with WHO recommendations. Results: The blend SBG-C contained all the essential amino acids, which also compared favourably with the “WHO ideal” protein. The fat content of the blend stood at 2.61g/g dm. Total saturated and unsaturated fatty acids were 16.57% and 83.43% respectively. Linoleic acid (18:2n-6) was the most abundant unsaturated fatty acid, while palmitic acid (16;0) was the most abundant saturated acid. A wide range of mineral elements were detected. K,P,Mg,and Ca were the most notable followed by Fe,Na,Al,Zn and Mn. Conclusion: The complementary food SBG-C contains substantial amounts of essential nutrients, which would significantly supplement breast milk. Frequent feeding may however be necessary to ensure optimal growth and development in infants.","PeriodicalId":339404,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Nutrition and Wellness","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133622020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Income, prices, individual preferences and beliefs, cultural traditions, as well as geographical, environmental, social and economic factors all interact in a complex manner to shape dietary consumption patterns and affect the morbidity and clinical status of women. A normal balanced diet must include daily foods from the various food groups in sufficient amounts to meet the needs of an individual and to increase immunity. The present study is undertaken to study the Health and Well-being of Rural women. For the purpose of study, 75 women between the age-group 25-45 years who were moderate workers, were selected from rural areas of district Yamunanagar, (Haryana). The mean daily intake of nutrients was calculated by using the Food Composition Tables and was compared with the Recommended Dietary Allowances for adult women (I.C.M.R,1990).The analysis of the data showed that only 10 per cent of the studied women were consuming a balanced diet. Majority of the women were suffering from anaemia and complained of backache, head ache and pain in the body. A balanced diet ensures nutritional adequacy, increases food acceptability, adds variety and also increases the resistance to various diseases.","PeriodicalId":339404,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Nutrition and Wellness","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115608486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rats were subjected to feeding over a period of six weeks on formulated diets containing: 20% soy protein with no cholesterol (group A); 20% soy protein with 5% cholesterol (group B); 20% soy protein with 10% cholesterol(group C): 0% soy protein with 20% cholesterol (group D); and 5% soy protein with 20% cholesterol (group E). The serum levels of these enzymes were determined weekly for the six weeks treatment period. LDH, ALT, AST and γ-GT activities were observed to be significantly elevated (p < 0.01) in groups D and E compared to groups B and C though the enzymes activities in group B and C were significantly higher (p < 0.05 ) when compared with the control. The activities of the enzymes were highest in group D. It is considered that consumption of soy protein-rich diets as opposed to those high in animal protein may help reduce oxidative damage to tissues (such as heart, liver, and kidney) and hence reduce cardiovascular disease risk due to the presence of soy isoflavones and its hypolipaemic attributes.","PeriodicalId":339404,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Nutrition and Wellness","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122562795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A single I.P. injection of STZ at the dose of 65 mg/kg body weight elevated the glucose levels > 205 mg/dl after 3 days. Treatment with the aqueous extract at the dose of 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg body weight resulted in significant reduction (P<0.05) in blood glucose levels. Body weights were significantly reduced (P<0.05) in STZ-Induced diabetic rats when compared to normal rats while the extract significantly (P<0.05) prevented a decrease in body weight in the V. album treated diabetic rats. The aqueous extract of the V. album leaf administration also resulted in decreased levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and increased levels of reduced glutathione (GSH), vitamins C and E and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Catalase (CAT) thus resulting in reducing the free radical formation in blood and liver tissues of the diabetic rats.

Based on research that Hypericum perforatum, a natural supplement has been demonstrated pharmacologically to delay ejaculation in a rat model of PE, we evaluated the effects of hyperforin extract of Hypericum perforatum on the ejaculatory reflex duration by using the intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) and sexual satisfaction. Sixteen men who desired longer sexual intercourse and without erectile dysfunction were treated with Hypericum perforatum immediately prior to sexual activity. An intercourse diary was used to document baseline data for 2 weeks and throughout the study period of 4 weeks. Partners were asked to measure IELT using a stopwatch as well as complete a sexual function questionnaire both pre and post treatment. All 16 subjects completed the study (average age 35.0 ± 4.6 years old). There was a significant increase in mean IELT times from 246±29 to 331±34 seconds (p<0.002) in subjects taking hyperforin extract. Fourteen of 16 men (87.5%) reported an improvement in IELT. The increase was seen in both the men who reported PE as bothersome and those who did not feel that PE was a problem for them. There was also significant increase in male satisfaction scores from 3.8±0.27 to 4.25 ±0.21 (p<0.03). Female satisfaction scores also showed a significant increase from 4.9±0.27 to 5.2±0.23 (p<0.04). This pilot study was limited by the lack of placebo control. No systemic or adverse effects on erectile function or orgasm were reported. Hyperforin extract of Hypericum perforatum can increase the duration of sexual intercourse and improve sexual satisfaction for men with and without complaints of PE.","PeriodicalId":339404,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Nutrition and Wellness","volume":"170 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116124852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lethality studies showed that the aqueous extract of the plant had an LD50 value of 625.08mg/kg rat intraperitioneally. The weight, heart rate and lipid parameters were measured after 6 weeks. There was an increase in weights in hypercholesterolaemic rats (P<0.05) when compared with the control group, which then significantly reduced in hypercholesterolemic rats treated with aqueous garlic extract. The study also showed that 100 and 200 mg/kg of the extract reduced the heart rate, which was increased in hypercholosterolaeminc group. There was a significant increase (P<0.05) in serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels in hypercholesterolaemic rats when compared with the control. These were brought to near normal when treated with 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight of the aqueous garlic extract and this action was dose dependent. Garlic extracts are reported to inhibit 3-hydroxy-3-methoxy-butyryl-CoA reductase. This could help to explain the decrease in serum lipid indices. The normalization of atherogenic risk predictor indices and the restoration of heart rate by the two doses of the extract confirm the beneficial use of the aqueous garlic extract in traditional medicine practice to manage hypertension and some cardiovascular related problems.","PeriodicalId":339404,"journal":{"name":"The Internet Journal of Nutrition and Wellness","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124315943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
