Review on Nutrition and Dietetics

Diet and nutrition play an important and fundamental role in the lives of everyone. It contributes to the formation of a healthy body and a strong mind. We know that nutrients-rich foods can remove toxins from the body, promote a good immune system, reduce hunger, and prevent obesity. Obesity is one of the most worrying, alarming and fastest-growing pandemics. It affects not only adults, but also adolescents and children. Early onset of diseases requires quick attention to control the physical, psychological, financial and social burdens it generates. Children with autism and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are often affected by eating disorders. Their preference for low-nutrient, energy-intensive foods may alter metabolism, lead to accumulation of oxidative atoms, and deteriorate their mental and physical condition. Although diet and weight loss are now common among the general population, it is difficult to raise awareness of nutrition, nutrition and obesity in children with special needs. Despite efforts, parents of children with such children cannot usually control their diet, as tantrums and behavioural problems are common. Currently, doctors and parents must work with nutritionists and nutritionists to help these children eat healthy, stay fit and improve their quality of life

한국 아포칼립스 콘텐츠의 스토리텔링 분석

Korean dramas have recently been expanding into various subjects such as zombies and time slips, etc. and it is easy to watch Korean-style apocalypse content based on zombies and viruses, which have not received much attention in Korea. Such OTT content is receiving a positive response not only in Asia but also in Western society. In this study, the storytelling of <Kingdom> and <Sweet Home> was analyzed focusing on the cultural dimension so as to analyze the success factors of Korean OTT content, which has been popular globally.
 As a result, it was confirmed that Korean apocalypse content focuses on universal problems faced by human groups such as individualism, collectivism, class, and equality. Korean apocalypse content reveals a critical view of individualistic values by depicting the protagonist and antagonist as the opposition between collectivism and individualism and emphasizes the value of good and punishment by punishing those in power who desire wealth and power. In addition, the destruction of the human world is depicted as being caused by desire through the setting that an unknown virus spreads through human desire. In the end, in order to save the world, it is important to have a strong mind and a good heart that would value others more than oneself. In this way, Korean apocalypse content has been well-received by the public by incorporating oriental values into materials that have been neglected in the Korean video content genre, such as zombies and strange creatures, and it can be recognized that it is also receiving favorable reviews as a new apocalypse genre in Western culture.

Strong Mind, Strong Body: The Promise of Mind-Body Interventions to Address Growing Mental Health Needs Among Youth.

As the prevalence of childhood and adolescent anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns continues to rise, there has been an unprecedented increase in support of mind-body practices like yoga, dance, meditation, mindfulness, aerobic exercise, and more-in part driven by the mental health burden imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. While a growing body of evidence supports the safety and effectiveness of mind-body approaches, gaps in funding for and empirical research on mechanistic underpinnings, methodology development to assess multi-component therapeutic practices, dissemination and implementation, and diversity in researchers, practitioners, and recipients remain. As a consequence, the neurobiological impacts of mind-body techniques are not well understood nor broadly accepted as standard forms of care by clinicians and insurers-often being considered as 'alternative' rather than 'complementary' or 'integrative'. In this commentary, we summarize work from our labs and others highlighting the promise of mind-body approaches for improving mental health in youth, in line with the National Institute of Mental Health's strategic plan to address health disparities. We offer a potential framework for implementation and research-the Expressive Therapies Continuum. We also propose solutions to key research and policy gaps, that by could have positive public health impacts for those who are struggling and to prevent emergence of psychiatric illness, especially in developing youth.

Explosive Hypertrophy Development: 5rd Method, Advanced Way for Explosive Hypertrophy, Cases Report Series Research

The knowledge of muscle function plays a major role in bodybuilding training and makes big difference for bodybuilders. Muscle monitoring is of great interest in areas such as clinical assessment, and sport science. Understanding, ideally quantifying, when a muscle state has changed in relation to whole body motion can assist in physical training and muscle conditioning. There are lot of different methods to gain muscle mass and improve weak parts; bodybuilders been using those methods for decades such: drop-set, rest-pause, super-set, tri-set, giant sets, contrast time, multi hold pump set, intra set load contrast, regressive range of motion, iso dynamic contrast Our method is based on scientific work; our main goal is to improve bodybuilder’s weak muscles and increase muscle mass in very short period of time, to asses our work we used electromyography (EMG) to assess the skeletal muscles activity and ultrasonography (US) to measure muscle thickness. Bodybuilding is the use of progressive resistance exercise to develop the musculature, is the process of developing muscle fibres through the combination of weight training, increased caloric intake, and rest. Bodybuilding decreases risk of developing diseases, Improve Mental Health, simply Weight training exercise, aerobic exercise and right nutrition have beneficial effects for strong mind and body. Muscle hypertrophy is a term for the growth and increase of the size of muscle cells. Hypertrophy is, by definition, the enlargement of an organ or tissue from the increase in size of its cells. Not to be confused withhyperplasia, the process of increasing the number of cells, hypertrophy is the process of increasing the size of the cells that are already there. By that a hormonal response is triggered, so a release of growth factor, cortisol, and testosterone. Growth factors help stimulate muscle hypertrophy while testosterone increases protein synthesis. This process makes satellite cells multiplying and their daughter cells go to the damaged tissue. To build muscle through weight lifting, you need to have both mechanical damage and metabolic fatigue. When you lift a heavy weight, the contractile proteins in the muscles must generate force to overturn the resistance provided by the weight.

16~18C 古詩選集에 반영된 魏代 詩歌의 選錄 현황과 분석 - 『古詩紀』·『采菽堂古詩選』·『古詩源』·『古詩賞析』을 중심으로

During the period of the State of Wei, people suffered a great political confusion as the state started with the usurpation of throne and ended with the usurpation of throne for a short period of 45 years. While suffering the great confusion, the literary men at the time began to understand their social responsibilities and started their literary activities under the name of their own for their works. They described the horrible society and the life of poor people of that time in their works and left the literary style called Jian’an poetry. Cao Pi authored the first book with that style, which is titled Jeonronnonmun. In addition, the ideology of “hyeonhak’ appeared as people tried to make the innovation of nw ideology and the poets called Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove appeared and left their poets based on the Taoism and hyeondam.<BR> To find out Ming and Qing dynasty scholars’ evaluation of the poetry of that time, I selected four collections of poetry written during 16th century to 18th century such as “Gosigi”, “Chaesukdang Gosiseon”, “Gosiwon” and “Gosisangseok” and then sorted them out in the joint list of the poetry during the period of Wei before trying the analysis of them.<BR> First, the poetry making up 67 poets (61%) were writen by three Cao family members. Among them, the number of works writen by Cao Zhi was 28, which took up 42% of them. The analysis of these works showed that they contained not only the strong mind showing the style of Jian’an poetry but also the historical events and backgrounds, thus giving the descendant the opportunity of peeping into the situation of the period of Wei.<BR> Second, the number of works written by Seven Persons of Jian’an Poetry was 8, which took up 13%. Among Seven Persons of Jian’an Poetry, the works written by 5 persons were lised on the joint list. These works also reflected the historical events of the period of Wei and the confusing societal situation of the time, and showed the strength of Jian’an poetry. <BR> Third, I researched on poetry written by Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove. Even though the group was made up with 6 famous poets of that time, there was only one person named “Ruan Ji” in the joint list for 4 kinds of ancient poetry collections selected in this paper and in addition, only one work titled “Yeonghoi” was selected for the list. That may be attributed to the reign of terror made by Sima clan when they could not express their ideas in their works in order to save their lives under the reign of terror. The poetry works having the topics of “Taoism and hyeondam” could not contain the period of Wei any more.<BR> Last, I researched the works made by poets other than three Cao family members, Seven Persons of Jian’an, and Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove. The works such as “Manga” which contains the perspective of death, “Jonggunhaeng” which express the agony suffered by the people in the frontier while following the military were also selected as the poetry showing the situation of that time.<BR> It can be said that what the Ming and Qing dynasty scholars wanted to see through four kinds of ancient poetry collections written during 16th century to 18th century was the life of poets and people who lived the short but dynamic period of Wei and that this is the reason why the editors selected the poetry of the time of Wei.

A Wave Theory of the Mind: A Coherent Mind Creates a Strong Mind and Healthy Body

Brain waves have been detected and measured. These waves are electro-magnetic waves that flow through the membranes of cells and nerve fibers. Amplitude and frequency modulation (AM and FM) carries the information from cell to cell while the myelin coating prevents the information from being distorted. The Nodes of Ranvier are the regeneration stations so the information wave doesn’t die out. Interference of the waves creates holographic memories, coherent waves creating much stronger holograms than incoherent waves, which are far weaker than coherent waves. The autonomous nervous system carries health guided information (Placebo effect) the more coherent the signal, the stronger the health information is. Methods to create a positive, coherent mind and healthy body are given.

Aesthetic Expressions of the Life-World of Filipino School-Age Children with Advanced Cancer.

The purpose of this study was to describe the meanings of the life-world of school-age children with advanced cancer through aesthetic expression. Drawing, writing, and interviewing data from 10 school-age children with advanced cancer living in Negros Island, Philippines, who met the inclusion criteria of the study. Five major thematic categories structured the participants' existential life-worlds with advanced cancer and were reflected within five lived-worlds as follows: lived body, poor body conditions but strong mind; lived relation, unlike the others; lived time, being in present while waiting for normal life; lived space, certain places of living and caring; and lived thing, supportive living by technology. The participants did not have control over the external events that happened to them, but their internal reactions made a powerful turning point. Advanced cancer made them tough and resilient to emotions. The negative problems dictated their response and allowed being unaffected by advanced cancer, and they were able to do it. The results presented by this study can be used to enhance positive feelings and emotions of school-age children with advanced cancer. Schooling should remain an active part of participants' life to provide them with a sense of normalcy to carry on with their social and academic development. A prearranged discussion with the teacher, principal, school nurse, and hospital team is important to help everyone know what to expect.

This awareness gradually can be expected to encourage human beings in order to place themselves appropriately as the subject of the development of the communication media itself through a rational and an accurate filtering process against negative influences that can threaten with human beings civilization. One of the institutions is threatened with the negative influences of the communicaton media is family. At first the family gets a respected position as a socialization agent about the values of life is now experiencing decline of function as well as its role because the majority of the family members are now snared because of the negative influences of the communication media. The sympathetic as well as the empathetic atmosphere are used to be the first decoration in the house and now is just becoming a nice memory but sadden. The fascination is too axtreme makes each of the family member of the communication media and finally appear some attitudes as well as behaviours that don,t go with the values of solidarity and the family as well. At last, this problem lets grow as well as develop without striving for preventive and curative of the various social elements. This meant preparing a show of a destruction of the generation in the future. Therefore, the whole sides are expected to their involvement to be a foremost line in preventing efforts.

Effects of Diet, Nutrition, and Exercise in Children With Autism and Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Literature Review.

Diet and nutrition play an important and essential role in everyone's life. It helps build a healthy body and a strong mind. We know that food rich in nutrients can remove toxins from the body, make an excellent immune system, curb hunger, and prevent obesity. Obesity is one of the most concerning, alarming, and fastest-growing pandemics. It affects not only adults but also adolescents and children. The disease's early-onset calls for prompt attention to control the physical, psychological, financial, and social burden it creates. Children with autism and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are commonly affected by eating disorders. Their preference for energy-dense food with low nutrition can alter their metabolism, leading to the accumulation of oxidative radicals, causing them to deteriorate mentally and physically. Although dieting and losing weight are now commonly seen in the general population, it has become hard to bring awareness to children with special needs about diet, nutrition, and obesity. Despite efforts, parents of such children usually cannot help control the eating because tantrums and behavioral problems are common. It is now imperative for doctors and parents to work alongside nutritionists and dieticians to help these children eat healthy to be fit and improve the quality of life.

How Motivation Affects Our Training And Nutrition Goals: A Comparison Between Bodybuilders And Overweight Women

Bodybuilders are well known by their addiction to the perfect physique, requiring not only a strong body, but also a strong mind. This potential psychological, motivational, emotional and dedication in bodybuilding has significant impact in athletes’ lives, supporting self-control, confidence, individual’s social realization and mood. Moreover, their motivation and self-control are important skills for a competition. On the other hand, most part of the population doesn’t have this strong motivation, struggling a bit more with nutrition and training programs. In nutritional studies, the “triangle” defined by trigger, behavior and reward really influence how people stick to a diet plan and their actions facing a goal related to losing or gaining weight. PURPOSE: The aim of this research is to study how the strong mind, dedication of bodybuilders, associated with intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, affect their success through a nutritional program, in comparison to non-athletes. Furthermore, we also want to understand the relevance of behavior and locus of control differences between these two groups. METHODS: The current study was designed to compare two groups (n=18); bodybuilders women (n=10) and overweight women (n=8). The data were collected by survey monkey link, composed by 12 sentences about nutrition and training lifestyle with 3 column each: depend on myself, depend on a reward and depend on others. Participants were requested to answer by classifying how the sources of control affect each item with scales from 1 to 5 (1- very low influence, 5- very high influence). The average of each question and column were calculated for comparison. RESULTS: According to the protocol, the column “depend on myself” had the same average 4.9/5 for bodybuilders and overweight women. For “depend on others” the athletes average was 1.2/5 and for non-athletes 1.4/5. The major difference was regarding “depend on a reward” with an average of 2.7/5 for the bodybuilders group and 1.9/5 for non-athletes. CONCLUSIONS: When discussing about motivation in fitness and nutrition goals, we concluded that a source of reward is much more significant to athletes.

Alcinous’ speaking name in the Odyssey: The king of a strong mind

In this article I contend that the name of Alcinous, the king of the Phaeacians in the Odyssey, is comprised of the terms alkí, ‘strength”, and nóos, ‘mind”, and that Homer makes use of his designation as a characterizing device: a speaking name. To argue so, I carry out a comparative analysis to words with similar formation, and assess how the king’s appearance in the poem contributes to this understanding.---Original in English.
