Although modifiable lifestyle practices now account for some 80% of premature mortality, medicine remains loathe to embrace lifestyle interventions as medicine Here, we argue that a 21st century golden age of medicine can be realized; the path to this era requires a transformation of medical school recruitment and training in ways that prioritize a broad view of lifestyle medicine. Moving beyond the basic principles of modifiable lifestyle practices as therapeutic interventions, each person/community should be viewed as a biological manifestation of accumulated experiences (and choices) made within the dynamic social, political, economic and cultural ecosystems that comprise their total life history. This requires an understanding that powerful forces operate within these ecosystems; marketing and neoliberal forces push an exclusive 'personal responsibility' view of health - blaming the individual, and deflecting from the large-scale influences that maintain health inequalities and threaten planetary health. The latter term denotes the interconnections between the sustainable vitality of person and place at all scales. We emphasize that barriers to planetary health and the clinical application of lifestyle medicine - including authoritarianism and social dominance orientation - are maintaining an unhealthy status quo.","PeriodicalId":73805,"journal":{"name":"Journal of lifestyle medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/08/e1/jlm-09-075.PMC6894443.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37449766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study determined the cardiovascular (oxygen consumption (VO2) and heart rate (HR) and psychophysical response to repetitive lifting tasks in women.Methods: Ten female (age 27 ± 5 yrs) participants transferred 11.4, 15.9, and 20.5 kg weights back and forth from a rung 40.6 cm high to a rung 156.2 cm high. Rungs were 195.6 cm apart horizontally. Three, 10 minute bouts (1 = 11.4 kg; 2 = 15.9 kg; 3 = 20.5 kg) were performed at 6 lifts per minute. Cardiovascular and psychophysical (rating of perceived exertion, RPE) parameters were monitored throughout the bouts. VO2max and HRmax were determined via a maximal treadmill test.Results: VO2, HR, and RPE were significantly different between each work bout (p < 0.01), with each outcome variable increasing as load increased. VO2max and HRmax equaled 46.5 ± 7.5 mL·kg-1·min-1 and 191 ± 11 bpm, respectively. Work at 11.4 kg was performed at 38% VO2max and 63% HRmax; at 15.9 kg at 41% VO2max and 72% HRmax; and at 20.5 kg at 49% VO2max and 81% HRmax. RPE at 11.4, 15.9, and 20.5 kgs were: 8.4 ± 1.6, 11.4 ± 1.9, and 15.0 ± 2.2.Conclusion: During these repetitive lifting tasks, metabolic cost and perceived exertion increased with weight lifted; average work intensity ranged from 63 to 81% of HRmax and 38 to 49% of VO2max. Results have important implications in relation to job pacing and design, and worksite health promotion strategies aimed at reducing work place injury.","PeriodicalId":73805,"journal":{"name":"Journal of lifestyle medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/c7/55/jlm-09-125.PMC6894441.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37449771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of acute supplementation with HRW on exercise performance as measured by VO2, respiratory exchange ratio (RER), heart rate (HR), and respiratory rate (RR).Methods: Baseline levels of all exercise indices were determined in nineteen (4 female, 23.4 ± 9.1 yr; 15 male, 30.5 ± 6.8 yr) healthy subjects using a graded treadmill exercise test to exhaustion. Each subject was examined two additional times in a randomized double-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover fashion.

All data was analyzed with SPSS using pairwise comparisons with Bonferroni adjustment.Results: HRW supplementation did not influence maximal or minimal indices of exercise performance (VO2, RER, HR and RR) (p < 0.05). However, HRW significantly decreased average exercising RR and HR (p < 0.05). HRW decreased exercising HR during minutes 1-9 of the graded exercise test (121 ± 26 bpm) compared to placebo (126 ± 26 bpm) and baseline (124 ± 27 bpm) (p < 0.001) without substantially influencing VO2.Conclusion: Acute supplementation of DrinkHRW tablets may benefit submaximal aerobic exercise performance by lowering exercising HR.

The aims of this paper were to present the mechanisms behind the CRs and discuss the impact this could have on human health. We argued that further research in this field has the potential to revolutionise healthcare through understanding the influence on the pathogenesis of disease, including in cardiovascular, mental and neurological health, as well as influence on cognitive function. The research has shown that intrinsic CRs have physiological and biochemical influences on the body, which may affect the efficiency of drug absorption due to the altered activity of enzymes. There is strong data to suggest CR disturbances, due to either shift work, sleep disorders or frequent travel between time zones, has negative impact on health. This article aims to summarise the extent of this impact and analyse CRs as a potential therapeutic target, as well as describing the pathophysiology and mechanisms driving the course of disease among people with CR disorders. These new discoveries may revolutionise the way in which treatment is provided in the future with more focus on lifestyle changes to provide treatment and more optimal precision medicine. Pharmaceutical companies and healthcare staff must consider the significant message provided from this data and use the information to optimise drug delivery and treatment provision. The facts of CRs role in healthcare can no longer be ignored.","PeriodicalId":73805,"journal":{"name":"Journal of lifestyle medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.15280/jlm.2019.9.1.1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37095431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To fill this research gap, we conducted this study to measure the prevalence of tobacco and alcohol consumption among adolescent and adult men in Zambia and Zimbabwe. Special attention was given to the age differential in the prevalence of smoking and drinking.Methods: Country-representative data on alcohol and tobacco use along with relevant sociodemographic parameters were collected from Demographic and Health Surveys. Sample population were 23,169 men (14,773 from Zambia and 8,396 from Zimbabwe) aged 15-54 years. Data were analysed using multivariate regression techniques.Results: Prevalence of tobacco use was 19.9% (19.0-20.9) in Zambia and 18.4% (17.4-19.5) in Zimbabwe, and that of alcohol was 37.6% (36.4-38.9) in Zambia and 50.5 (48.9-52.1) in Zimbabwe. In both of the countries, the majority of the tobacco and alcohol users were aged between 24-39 years. Results of multivariate regression analysis showed a significant positive association between tobacco and alcohol use with age, place of residence, religious affiliation, marital status, education and wealth quintile.Conclusion: Nearly one-fifth of all men in the age group of 15-54 years smoke tobacco in Zambia and Zimbabwe, with the prevalence being most pronounced among those aged between 25-39 years. The predominantly young age structure of alcohol and tobacco users warrant demographically tailored anti-tobacco and alcohol controlling programmes.","PeriodicalId":73805,"journal":{"name":"Journal of lifestyle medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/45/51/jlm-09-067.PMC6425907.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37096854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
