Henrietta Senior Nutrition Site To Close In Two Weeks

Nutrition Surveillance Program Manager

Attendance has declined to two or three people a day, Department on Aging Director Marce Wandell said. The DOA runs eight senior nutrition center sites throughout the county. When Department on Aging officials learned attendance was low at the Henrietta senior nutrition site in July, the hours of operation were reduced to one day a week. Seniors using the site have been notified of the closing and will be offered frozen meals to take home instead of a hot meal. Seniors could also visit one of the other seven nutrition center sites in the county. With so few taking advantage of the hot meal, the department had to find ways to reduce costs.

‘Grandfather‘of nutrition goes into retirement

He was the first person that taught me nutrition then and he made so much impression on me and one couldnt but fell in love with the subject. He emphasised so much on the importance of nutrition, pointing out that no matter what we were doing whether in medicine or agriculture, the end point was really the nutrition of the people. After graduating with a B.Sc. in Agriculture, the windows of opportunity to pursue the reverie of becoming a food nutritionist were somewhat narrow for Oguntona, but he found his feet at the University of London, where he was offered admission for his Masters degree in animal nutrition and so began his sojourn into the world of nutrition. I didnt come back to Nigeria immediately because there was nowhere to practise my programme. Ibadan was not doing a degree programme in nutrition.

10 Common Nutrition Myths Debunked

2014 Farm and Nutrition Day

And along the way, it is common to stumble upon nutrition myths that are believable and much more exciting than the truth. According toAnn Whitaker, manager of nutrition and clinical patient education for Kaiser Permanente of Georgia, The best approach to nutrition and health is a balanced diet, ample sleep and regular exercise. This is truly the best course to follow. Whitaker, one of the instructors for the total health nutrition series offered to participants of the Kaiser Permanente Corporate Run/Walk & Fitness Program, says her list of common nutrition myths was pulled from real-life conversations over the years that she and her Kaiser Permanente colleagues in nutrition had with Kaiser Permanente members. #1 Carbs make you fat Myth debunked: Lower carb eaters tend to lose weight faster but they are the first to regain the weight that was lost. #2 Eating extra protein builds muscle Myth debunked: Adding too much protein to your diet adds stress on your kidneys and too many calories from any source can lead to weight gain and not necessarily muscle gain.

A lot of people were in UK recruiting for the second generation of universities that were taking off then, and I applied into three, University of Ife, Ahmadu Bello and university of Maiduguri; all offered me employment but I chose UNIMAID because my wife was also offered employment there, he said. But on returning to Lagos in 1977, Prof Oguntona with his wife, Prof Clara Oguntona, whom he met in a laboratory and married while he was conducting research in the US, and also in an academic world with him at UNAAB, was met with a big jolt. I had told my wife how beautiful Lagos was, the Marina, the Bar Beach, the seashores and night life of the 60s among others. When we got home I took her to Lagos Island, where we got the rudest shock ever.

Surgical Treatment Gives New Hope To High Blood Pressure Patients In The Uae

Home blood pressure monitoring may improve control

For a significant number of others around 10 per cent of all hypertension suffers the problem cannot be controlled even through the use of multiple medications. This condition is known as Resistant Hypertension (RHT) and represents a serious health risk. Until recently, there has been no treatment for RHT other than by using more medications in higher doses, with all the complications and side effects these may create and the adverse impact on the quality of life of the patient. This may be about to change thanks to a new surgical treatment that is still under trial but which has just been performed for the first time in Dubai by the team at the American Hospital Dubai led by Dr. Omar Kamel Hallak, Chief Interventional Cardiologist, where special training and equipment allowed them to treat the first patient, with promising results.

Some doctors recommending 24-hour blood pressure monitoring

With 24-hour monitoring, they said they found 30 percent of their patients had “white coat” hypertension. Ingham believes finding the average of multiple blood pressure measurements during a 24-hour period is a much better predictor of heart attack and stroke risk and said it has changed some patients’ lives. “About 10 percent of people we’ve done this on have either stopped the medication or decreased a dose,” Ingham said. Cummings also found that some patients who thought they did not have high blood pressure actually did. “We found about 20 percent of our patients had masked hypertension,” he said. Ingham said a normal daytime blood pressure average is less than 135 over 85 and a normal nighttime average is less than 120 over 75.

adults has high blood pressure, according to the National Institutes of Health. Only about half of them have successfully used medication and lifestyle changes to get their numbers into the recommended range to prevent heart problems – less than 140/90 or less than 130/80 for those with diabetes or kidney disease. So researchers have been looking for new and inexpensive ways to encourage people with hypertension to stick to their medication regimen. The new study “shows that you don’t have to come into the office to have your blood pressure managed,” said Dr. Katrin Uhlig from Tufts Medical Center in Boston, who has studied home blood pressure monitoring. “I don’t think it’s the fix for everything, but it certainly is very promising,” Uhlig, who was not involved in the new research, told Reuters Health.

The talk about green coffee beans, or green coffee extract, exploded last year when Dr. Oz featured this “miracle” weight loss remedy on his show. He had 100 women consume green coffee beans in pill form for 2 weeks, then looked at how much weight they lost: 2 pounds. The control group, however, lost a pound as well, meaning there was only a pound difference. So is this enough evidence to base the supposedly amazing results of this pill? Probably not.
