Healthy nutrition: Why fruit in old age keeps you fit

Especially in the elderly is a varied and high-fiber nutrition has a positive effect on the intestinal flora.
Bon appetit - and ask a lot of variety on the plate. This affects the health and fitness at the age

DUBLIN. Older people who eat varied promote the diversity of bacteria in their intestines. This makes them probably less fragile and prone to obesity and inflammation than their peers who eat on one side and therefore have a less diverse flora. This connection is at least see Irish microbiologists and physicians according to a study with 178 men, average age of 78. "Our findings suggest that we can improve the health of older people, if we change their diet and thus alter their intestinal flora," said Dr. Paul O'Toole, of University College Cork, the result of yesterday with his colleagues on the European Science Conference presented in Dublin.

For their study, published in the journal "Nature", the researchers had interviewed people age 64 to 102 years after their nutrition habits. Furthermore, they had analyzed the chair of the participants, to detect the existing intestinal bacteria. Because many of these bacteria can not cultivate, the researchers deciphered the genome of the bacteria. So they came in their samples up to 5000 different types of bacteria. She also recorded values in the stool and blood that indicate infection. A number of respondents was housed in nursing homes, rehabilitation clinics and hospitals, the rest lived at home.

First, it was found that the long term, such as in nursing homes housed people a more fat-and sugar-rich diet with a relatively large amount of meat to be increased, while living at home group, more bread, fruit and vegetables, ate, then ate more fiber. Dietary fiber, carbohydrates, found mainly in plant foods. Humans can not digest fiber, but researchers writing them to play an important role, because the substances likely to contribute to a controlled digestion. In addition: nutrition high in fiber contain less energy than the same volume low-fiber foods, so they help to keep the weight off.

That diet is not always optimal in some nursing homes and hospitals so that was probably expected. The researchers had not expected, however, the second finding: that the apparently strong effect of different diets on the composition of the intestinal flora and thus on health. In the long run have accommodated students with an unbalanced diet in the chair has a much lower diversity of intestinal bacteria as shown by the participants with a varied diet, said Paul O'Toole. In addition to the first group of several inflammatory markers were increased.

The researchers had studied for comparison, 13 people with an average age of 36 years. This showed a lesser influence of diet on the composition of the intestinal flora. "The gut bacteria vary among the elderly than in younger stronger overall, depending on what they eat," said O'Toole.

"Means to have a diverse flora that there are many different types of bacteria, probably take a corresponding number of functions," explained Dr Ian Jeffery. The nutrition will effectively be split into its component parts, the body will be fed to a larger number of different nutrients than is possible with a less diverse flora is. Older people are frail, among other things, because their muscles schwänden and take off my muscle tone, said the physician Prof. Fergus Shanahan. In this respect a diverse flora is enormously important for protein and calcium from the diet to make available to the body.

The researchers admit, however, that their conclusions are based only on circumstantial evidence. They have identified ten to 15 major groups of bacteria, whose presence is strongly differs in the two study groups. What are the duties and assume certain bacterial species which are particularly important for health, they do not know, said Paul O'Toole. "Of this we have removed a number of years." It is still unclear whether the microorganisms can even assign unique functions, because a major obstacle to microbiologists and physicians to be: You can use the billions of bacteria in the gut to watch live. Therefore, they are to rely on indirect methods such as on further analysis of the chair, to learn more about the tiny creatures.

Healthy nutrition in the sign of the Tiger

AOK project is the prevention of overweight children and the tiger is
the symbol of it. Strong as Tiger and also moved to be the boys and
girls, and therefore "Tiger Kids". v.l. Sabine Schöbel, Heike mast

Werdohl. "Tiger Kids are much more fun than candy apples." This is a
slogan that is initially for the next three years in an urban
kindergarten Funkenburg application. A project of the Army is the
prevention of overweight children and the tiger is the symbol of it.
Strong as Tiger and also moved to be the boys and girls, and therefore
"Tiger Kids".
The teachers Silke Wiederspahn-Hopmann and Sabine Schöbel attended a
course at the Army Headquarters on proper nutrition and exercise for
the children Fiterhaltung. Three years before moving to the
kindergarten by now accompanied by the AOK project, then it can remain
permanently on success.

At a parents' evening last Monday explained graduate nutritional
scientist Heike mast Dürwald, what is important in the diet. She
pointed to the food pyramid and those foods that eaten priority and
those that should be eaten as little as possible. A plate of healthy
food was in kindergarten and it will fill a train whose carriages the
children with the food - healthy, the very front.
Playfully and without bans
Children should be accustomed to drink when thirsty prefer something
other than sweet sodas or sweetened juices. The same is true with
candy in their place is better then eaten fruit. Play a role in dairy
products and meat and sausage says to watch out. Heike mast Dürwald
referred to the slogan: "Tiger Kids are very special children. They
prefer to eat apples, tomatoes and carrots instead of hamburgers,
chips and candy. They drink water, fruit juice and juice instead of
soda. And they move at least an hour a day. "
Task of the kindergarten in the project is to communicate this to the
children and also give information to parents. Information with
instructions received from the Army. "It's simple and playful without
bans. When the Tiger Kids makes a clever tiger before the other, as
they eat healthy and move to it, "said the ecotrophologist the
project.

Healthy nutrition can be fun

Gives tips and advice abound, theoretically, nearly everyone knows
what a "healthy diet" - lagging behind the practical implementation,
however, there. To provide variety in the diet - carbohydrates, fats,
proteins, vitamins, minerals, fiber and water - not more and not less
in focus, as with everything the body needs is.
Access to the salad is good to always favor him, is unilateral and has
nothing to do with a healthy diet, nothing more, warns professor Dr.
Peter Grimm, Director of the Section Baden-Wurttemberg, the German
Society for Nutrition (DGE). "The mix makes," says the nutritionist.
As an optimal mix looks like, food pyramids perform impressively in
mind: at the top of the pyramid to find those foods in which you
should hold back, the six steps to the base is then allowed access to
more and more. Logically, therefore provide the drinks, the pyramid
base, because plenty of fluids as it is to be, vital. Who suffers from
not drinking enough, fast under poor concentration, fatigue and
headaches. But is normally around 1.5 liters per day, preferably in
the form of water, diluted fruit juice, herbal or fruit tea.

"5 a Day" is the catchy slogan for vegetables / salad and fruit
pyramid on stage five. Short-cooked, fresh or sometimes as a juice,
they provide the body with the main meals as well as intermediate
abundant phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals and fiber as well as
secondary. The approximately 600 grams per day should be divided among
the three servings of vegetables / salad and two servings of fruits
sounds easy and delicious, yet knows Peter Grimm. "The demand for
vegetables in Germany is still a mess," Here, carrots, leeks,
cauliflower and Co. not only healthy, but because water-rich and low
in energy, well suited for the character.
Grain products like bread, pasta, cereals and bread - preferably from
whole grains - and potatoes are the saturated maker, where you can
access it. They contain no fat, carbohydrates, and this important
vitamins and fiber - and, mind you: whole grain products satisfy, in
contrast to more baked goods made with white flour.
May be on the menu daily milk and milk products such as cheese, yogurt
and cottage cheese. The supply of calcium, easily digestible fat and
high-quality protein. Only once a week should however fish, meat, eggs
and sausage are served. "For many people today is to eat meat, suffice
it around 300 to 600 grams a week," said Peter Grimm. Meat supplies in
addition to minerals, especially vitamins B 1, B 6 and B 12, fish
supplies to consumers with the polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids.
Since fats are very energy-rich, with the taste-makers and "carriers"
of fat-soluble vitamins that are found just below the top of the
pyramid at level two, announced a more economical use - per day are
60-80 g. It makes sense, vegetable fats preference to give and to
avoid "hydrogenated fats". Sugar and salt can be partially offset by
spices and herbs or honey substitute, in confectionery and moderate
alcohol consumption is reasonable.
How easy it is to deal with the daily portions, for example, shows
that aid nutrition pyramid. Depending see which of the six pyramid
levels, the food, so many servings are allowed daily, that is, six
servings of beverages at the base, three servings of milk and milk
products as well as a portion of meat, sausages, fish or egg on stage
four, and the head a portion of "pleasure". One serving is quite
simple, which fits in one hand - a slice of bread, an apple, a glass
of water. Inserts, as are pasta, potatoes and cereals, fruit or
chopped vegetables measured with two hands, the fat with tablespoons.
If it is still scheduled time for meals, pleasure and fun are not too
short, the question "What We Eat?" Suddenly sound very tempting. There
is even no, but "a hot meal, whether lunch or dinner, naturally brings
more variety with the same," says Peter Grimm. And should attract some
sausage - just eat a salad in advance, advises the expert, then the
famine is already smaller.

Sports will melt pounds

Halle (Saale) /. Desiré knows that she must lose weight. Not just a
few pounds, but several kilos. The blond girl is twelve years old and
overweight. "When I eat, it's usually too much," she admits candidly.
To restrain himself fall, expressed her hard. Since nothing is
profitable to think in moments of intense hunger at the teasing of
classmates who Desiré must always be endured. And that hurt her.
Sometimes gum help to curb the appetite a little, but that does not
bring too much, she says. And the pounds that she has fallen for a
cure are long angefuttert again. Therefore Desiré has decided to
exercise regularly. And while the sports club of the Francke
Foundations in Halle, which is located at the Family Center of
Excellence.

Training takes place every Thursday in the late afternoon in a large
hall. This time, seven children aged between eight and 13 years have
come, which all have the same trouble - they are too thick. After a
warm-up with Jenny Rank makes Max, Chris, Amira and her other proteges
ball games, which depend on speed and skill. She understands it well,
to motivate the children, she praises often. "They feel comfortable
here, are not under pressure to perform, and neither she teases," said
the 21-year-old who is in training as a gymnastics teacher.
Sport is a good chance in the fight against the pounds. At least in
Germany, about 15 percent of all children and adolescents are
overweight, and rising.
This group has a significantly higher risk of developing diabetes,
degenerative joint disease or high blood pressure. Quite apart from
psychological wounds caused when children are exposed to scorn and
ridicule.
"That's why we created these sports group to life," says Jens German,
who heads the Family Center of Excellence. The children should be
taught the joy of movement. If they are in the gym, they can not sit
at the computer or watching TV. And chocolate chips are there not,
instead, time is always a swig from the bottle of water.
Sport is by no means the only meaningful employment, which is offered
in the center, which is located in the "House of Generations" on the
grounds of the Francke Foundations. Every day is played there, cooked
and eaten together, told and discussed. As German Jens says, will
render the offer to be strengthened: "Since we can use financial aid
well."
Overweight children are dependent on the support of their family if
they want to lose weight, but often lack the necessary knowledge to
parents. Therefore, there are a number of specially tailored for
families offers, such as actions for a healthy diet and help with
education issues. It can also take sports family camps in the holidays
as well as parent-child sports lessons. If necessary, are primarily
single-parent families, sponsors put aside - in cooperation with the
Children's Hospital of the University Hospital.
Because it is so important that children are fed adequately and
properly fit and are also engaged in the "help-We 'association with
this topic. The motto is: "Healthy and fit - help us, so that poor
children are strong."
Meanwhile the children of the sports group worked up a sweat and
breath. They have formed two teams at the end of the hour and try with
balls in the attacking half cones to bring you down. What makes them
fun. Rank trainer hopes that the children move beyond the hours out
more sports.
For the nine-year-old Jennifer that works quite well. She goes further
still swimming and eating pizza instead of more vegetables. And the
pounds now? "Only a little," she says.
Meanwhile, have Lena (7) and her mother sat on the edge of the playing
field. Weighs 18 kg, the girls too much. "We urgently need to do
something," says her mother. For the next hour, even Lena sports will
be among the assets.

Although in 1860 no longer has delivered professional, managing shepherd's still very satisfied. This is called the manager the reasons
Munich - Even Robert Shepherd has enjoyed the start to the season well. Of course. The goal of separating themselves from the summer mortgages have been deemed too expensive and Djordje Rakic Antonio Rukavina was in 1860 although not yet reached the CEO, the current situation very positively. Here is talking about the 35-year-olds:

The transfer window: "We have not in the case of Rukavina and Rakic achieved the savings target that we wanted. But with more revenues from viewers and merchandise we can - despite higher costs squad - but come to a balanced result.
The search for a main sponsor: "The target, found one at the end of September, we will hold, then there will be a partner. It is becoming the best contract that had 1860 per second in the league. Hasan Ismaik (Investor, editor's note) has made the contacts for us and looks for the sponsor. Now the details are still negotiating. But we should not be disappointed if we find a great sponsor, and the money to spend on players. We need to increase revenues in order to achieve a balanced result. We make this year one minus the total costs are compared to the revenue is still too high. "
The sports development: "A more favorable squad must not be worse than the expensive squad from last year. We have a homogeneous structure and confidence in our players. That's worth more than what you can buy with millions. Wants that our partners: attack the medium to create a base and prepare for the league. Until now, we play great attacking football, we tear ourselves, and have a homogeneous team shows that when an opponent comes to Munich, he made it very difficult. There is no reason to bring new people, we will not inflate the squad. In Malaga, the investor gets a veteran to the next, but is it sustainable? We focus on sustainability, which will also Ismaik. He knows the team better and better, it is not a toy for him. He needs no star, no, Robert Carlos, Rivaldo does not show what he has. "
The sporty design: extend "We now have to submit contracts and no players. These are our investments. We have kept Halfar and Lauth, and (get out the contracts of Buck, Bulow, Schindler, steel and Aigner, editor's note) in the coming talks. It looks like we managed that. The aim is to extend contracts prematurely, to anyone, we want to keep, must provide a free transfer. That is more valuable than to get new people. The great thing is, these guys have the feeling that they wegmüssen not know if they want in the first division. The guys here think of the chance to ascend in the medium term. "
The plans for covering the third-rank arena: "The next home game we will cover the third place for the first time. Pay the costs of our marketing H.I. Squared. On the straights it is 1860, and in the north and the south area of the lion logo is visible. The banners provide space for sponsors to refinance the whole thing. Of the 40 000-man <en> Stadium, we hope to less gray and a better feeling in the stadium. "

....The latest research shows that the foods we choose to eat—or not to eat—may increase
our life span or the quality of our lives. Not a day goes by, it seems, without feature news
stories about food and its impact on health. The message that we can reduce our chances of
developing cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other diseases by maintaining a healthy
weight, decreasing the fat and calories in our diets, eating more vitamin- and mineral-rich fruits
and vegetables, and getting fit is becoming a familiar one. As more research is done, the link
between diet and the risk of developing common diseases such as heart disease or cancer is
becoming clearer and clearer. Thanks to this research, we are beginning to understand the
dietary and lifestyle factors that are most likely to ensure a long, healthy life. And the good
news is that we can incorporate these factors into our own lives without sacrificing taste or
giving up the foods we enjoy, by discovering and eating tastier, nutritious fruits, vegetables,
and whole grains.

Despite the well-publicized connections among diet, weight, and health, statistics show
that the prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing at an alarming rate, particularly in
children and teens. So why do we cling to our unhealthful habits? For many, the nutrition
and fitness guidelines published by the government and by health organizations may seem overwhelming.
We may have questions about why we should eat what the experts recommend,
what foods are or are not nutritious, and whether it is better to obtain some nutrients from
food or from a multivitamin or nutritional supplement. Finally, for most of us, eating is
pleasurable, and familiar foods are comforting. The idea of making a major change in the kinds
and amounts of food that we eat is daunting.
Part I of this book provides you with an overview of the principles of good nutrition,
provides you with insight as to why the experts recommend what they recommend, and then
gives you some practical tips on how to change the way you eat while still enjoying good
food. Chapter 1 begins by reviewing the current guidelines for nutrition and fitness....
