Abstract:

High achievements in sports require the development of new technologies which help reduce the negative impact of intense physical exertion as well as improve the homeostasis of the main energy provider - glucose. Specialists of the Russian company Proten Farma, specializing in the development of Specialized Medical, Sports Nutrition, have developed a Specialized Nutrition (release form bar) fortified bar to improve the athlete's nutritional status.  To increase the efficiency of this product, it was important for it to not just provide macro and micronutrients, but for the product to also be able to help use these nutrients effectively in order to build and maintain such body functions as metabolism. To do this, the sulfated polysaccharide fucoidan, developed by Fucoidan-World Co. Was added to the “Balance Energy” bar as one of its ingredients. Hence, the bar was named “Fuco-Bar”. The “Fuco-Bar” has been successfully tested in Minsk at the Belarusian University of Physical Culture with young male national team athletes, middle distance runners, during training camp. They each were given their nutrition bar twice a day – in the morning and evening. Various indicators of athletic performance were measured both at the beginning and end of training camp, during the 30m run – speed capabilities, during the 3km run – aerobic endurance, during the standing long jump a special formula was used to calculate the instantaneous power in watts (W). A treadmill simulator was used, blood sugar, hemoglobin, erythrocyte and leukocyte levels were also determined. Furthermore, practice sessions missed due to illness were thoroughly recorded. Following the end of training camp all of the listed indicators were once again measured, evaluated and compared to the initial data as a percentage. The control group showed an improvement in performance in two tests, during the 3 km run and on the treadmill. At the same time, this group showed an increase in their leukocyte levels and their number of missed training sessions due to illness exceeded the team’s average. The experimental group showed a statistically significant improvement in all test indicators, while the number of missed workout sessions in this group proved to be three times lower. This innovative product passed the test in a WADA Accredited Laboratory and received a protocol on the absence of any drugs the consumption of which is prohibited in sports. Thus, “Fuco-Bar” is a successful, specialized, non-doping product for enhancing an athlete’s performance.

Biography:

Dr. Lina Rammal has her 12 years expertise in clinical nutrition and dietetics .Her aim is to spread nutrition awareness and to help patients reach their healthy body goals and to meet their optimal nutritional needs. Her numerous certificates and continuing education in all nutrition majors gave her the base to create and update new diets treatment techniques. She made hope after depression, smiles after tears and confidence after confusion. She Owned Lina Rammal Diet Center establishment in Lebanon, she is member in LAND, member in LDS, LD Syndicate representative, board member in nutrition & health magazines, nutrition articles writer, certified from the Lebanese public health ministry. This approach targets only obese children and can be successfully applied in their nutrition treatments in different ways and stages as mentioned in the abstract study.

Abstract:

Who is among your families and relatives doesn't know an obese child who suffers from implementing a healthy diet plan? Because their prevalence is rapidly increasing, the purpose of the study came to find the best diet program to treat childhood obesity and to evolve new preventive methods. Two types of diets were used on two stages over 23 obese children to monitor their weight and other health risk factors. They decreased in treatment phase 5 kg/ First month by using plant rich diet then they decreased 2.2kg/ month in control and preventive phase by using varied and balanced diet. Based on both clinical observations and applied theories the plant rich diet is a useful key in treatment phase but variation and moderation is another essential key in preventive phase. Obese children and depressed mother's faces are the daily routine in my Diet Center. That's why finding the key diet to beat and prevent obesity was a challenge. The Purpose of every successful Diet Program should take into consideration the concerns of both children and parents and the balance in quantity and quality of consumed foods. According to my clinical observations vegetarian diet package was the best treatment .To confirm it, an inductive qualitative study was conducted. Taking 23 from both gender obese children aged 6-11 years and using full nutrition assessment tools as methods to test the effectiveness of medium caloric plant versus animal based diets over 14 days with cyclic follow-ups and anthropometric measurements recordings.  Using meter for height and full body composition analyzer for  weight , %B.F , %B.W , % Muscle , BMR , BMI and measurable tape for  waist to hip ratio and bone circumference . They are asked to use first 14 days the plant based diet then a follow up to monitor all the previous factors then to change to the animal based diet .then assessment . Then maintenance and prevention by reintroducing the omitted items steadily. Analysis of collected data shows a significant difference between plant and varied dieters' results. 4 of 24 cases failed to implement both plant and varied based diets and did not came for their first follow up. 10 cases succeeded in implementing plant based diet and loosing an average of 2.5 kg/ 14 days while 10 cases succeeded in implementing varied based diet and lost only 1.1 kg. Challenges made significant differences in all anthropometric measurements. After Clinical observations it was clear that the plant rich diet is a first key in the first month of treatment to decrease 10% of morbidity and health risk factors. Upon applied theories varied and balanced diet is another key in the control phase to help children continue decreasing their excess body weight while growing properly. All parties should cooperate to overcome challenges for a society free from childhood obesity.

Biography:

James Joseph is the author of the best seller “God’s Own Office - How One Man Worked for A Global Giant from His Village in Kerala” published by Penguin Books and released by Shri Oommen Chandy then Chief Minister of Kerala on October 8th, 2014. Malayalam translation of the best seller got published by Manorama Books and released by Kris Gopalakrishnan, Co-Founder of Infosys in October 2015. He has a Masters in Engineering Business Management from University of Warwick, UK and has a degree in Mechanical Engineering from College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram. He pioneering research helped Kerala government to elevate Jackfruit as its official State fruit.

Introduction: Chemotherapy, adjuvant, neoadjuvant or palliative, is an integral part of the management of solid tumors, depending on stage. Bone marrow suppression (toxicity) and the resultant leucocytopenia is a known complication for majority. Haemopoietic growth factors like filgrastim is hence given either along with chemotherapy in high dose schedule or once the leucopenia sets in to prevent chemo toxicity and eventual death. A repeated admission to manage chemo toxicity also adds to the cost and reduces quality of life. Dietary modifications have been in vogue for patients receiving chemotherapy for better digestion and energy. Administering a food product as dietary intervention to perform as a haemopoietic growth factor is a novel concept in Oncology and reported for the first time.

Abstract:

A Priori Hypothesis: Kerala had the tradition of consuming mature green jackfruit as a meal and in the recent years it has emerged as an effective alternate to rice to control blood sugar levels due to its soluble fiber, pectin and lower glycemic load. Researchers have reported jackfruit extract can reduce pro inflammatory cytokines indicating its anti-cancer properties. In addition researchers have reported that dietary pectin increases survival of bone marrow cells and intestinal crypt stem cells during chemo and radio therapy. Considering the potential anti-cancer properties of jackfruit and properties of pectin to reduce bone marrow suppression, a priory hypothesis used for the study was, administering 30gms of green jackfruit flour, which contains 1 gm of pectin, as a dietary intervention could perform as a haemopoietic growth factor for patients receiving chemotherapy.   

Methods: Cancer Patients with Solid tumors of Breasts, Lungs, Head and Neck, Gastro Intestinal System, Ovaries, Endometrium, soft tissue sarcomas etc. were included. The drugs included Anthracyclines, Taxanes, Anti angiogenic factors and targeted chemo therapy drugs like Herceptin, High dose Endoxan, etc. The preliminary feasibility study group consisted of 25 Patients who presented since June 2018 to December 2018. Patients were given free sachets of 30gms green jackfruit flour to be used in single divided doses along with staple food per day from first day of chemotherapy through the last day of each cycle of 21 days, till the completion of the course. Blood examination for Hb, WBC count and platelet counts were done on 5^th, 7^th, 9^th and 12^th day. 20/25 patients completed the study. One patient with metastatic disease on palliative chemotherapy died during this period, 4 patients opted out due to lack of taste.

Results: Out of 4 patients who refused to take the green jackfruit flour, all of them necessitated haemopoietic growth factor for a minimum of 5 days, after admission with all supportive drugs, antibiotics, including ICU admissions in 2, when the nadir dropped. Among the 20 subjects who completed the 6 cycles, 2 patients necessitated haemopoietic growth factor, in the 5^th and one in the 6^th cycle for 2 days to get back the normal counts. The supplementation with green jackfruit flour, drastically dropped the sales of the growth factor which in the 20 subjects, amounted to Rs.1,40,000/-(@1400 /- per vial) which if translated across the country will amount to several hundred crores.

Conclusion: Dietary intervention to prevent neutropenia, for those who undergo chemotherapy is reported for the first time in oncology. Jackfruit is a tropical fruit available in several countries. The anti-diabetic effect green jackfruit is well established. This pilot study merits multi-centric trials on large population. The money saved by avoiding administration of hematopoietic growth factor, repeated hospital admissions, antibiotics etc. could be phenomenal when widely used. The quality of life and psychological satisfaction when neutropenia is avoided while undergoing chemotherapy, adds value to this novel dietary intervention

Abstract:

A conceptual model of the interdependence between the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates taking into account the transport of the carbon skeleton and the stages of the relationship between the processes of formation and utilization of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) energy, which demonstrates the key role of protein metabolism and the maintenance of glucose homeostasis with different organism availability in energy was proposed. In supporting the processes of vital activity of the body, two periods should be analyzed. The first one is absorptive period, which is for providing rehabilitation processes, the expression of which is the “food pyramid” and the second one is post absorptive period, which is for the energetic provision of physical and mental work, the expression of which is the “energy pyramid”. These pyramids differ in the ratio of macronutrients and in their composition, which must be taken into account when developing the principles of human nutrition. Although obesity is seen as a simple discrepancy between the amount of intake of food calories and their utilization for physical activity, however, do not take into account the large energy expenditure on volatile processes, in particular, the process of protein synthesis. The process of protein synthesis depends on the availability in the substrate (amino acids), the intensity of mRNA expression (transcription) and the speed of reproduction (translation), so the violation at each of these stages will affect the energy balance and promote the development of obesity. Half of the protein mass is muscle, so it largely determines the homeostasis of glucose and the development of energy balance, which is presented in the form of an interdisciplinary model for the development of diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases. In conclusion, technologies were proposed to support the process of protein synthesis and ways of preventing and treating obesity.

Abstract:

Neurodegenerative diseases are becoming more frequent and an economical problem to the health-care system 1. Increased oxidative stress and mild chronic inflammation have been identified as predominant causes that determine the occurrence of several pathologies, among them neuronal disorders 2,3. The currentp pharmacotheray of such kind of diseases is mainly symptomatic, and more the major pharmaceutical companies have decided to abandon the research related to drugs for the treatments. So, coadjutant strategies,including nutraceuticals-based and other cost-effective therapies are extensively explored. Nowadays, the nutritional neuroscientists are increasingly interested in connecting neurodegenerative diseases and the role of the diet on fighting the onset of these pathologies. So, it has become extremely important to consider complex foods and nutraceuticals as supportive therapy and not only as nutritive sustenance. Lots of studies have been led to identify and quantify nutritional compounds in food exploiting the most common analytical techniques, as high-performance liquid or gas chromatography. Now, it is increased the need for a reliable, fast, possibly low-cost devices to measure the quality and the content of food nutrients, but also additives, and their association with health claims. Within this picture, the biosensors (Fig 1) fit perfectly because they allow monitoring, in different matrices, a wide variety of nutraceuticals, among them sugars, vitamins, folic acid, micronutrients, ethanol but also phytochemicals, as polyphenols.

Abstract:

Already in 2002 the WHO congress examined the science base of the relationship between diet and physical activity patterns and the major nutrition-related chronic diseases. The biologist Leroy Hood coined the terms P4 medicine, as a medicine that is predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory; which has transformed medical practice into a more targeted approach that manages a person's overall health as opposed to simply managing a patient's disease. A life course approach in chronic disease epidemiology explicitly recognizes the importance of timing and accumulation of exposures in identifying links between risk factors and outcomes within an individual’s life. However, as adults age they become at risk of "nutritional frailty" which can compromise their ability to meet nutritional requirements at a time when specific nutrient needs may be high. How could food consumption influence epigenetic modifications that would eventually make an impact on individual health? One possibility is through directly affecting catalytic activities of the enzymes responsible for ‘writing’ or ‘erasing’ the epigenetic modifications. Nutriepigenomics is a promising field in the treatment of complex human diseases. Different epigenetic patterns provide information on dietary habits but also on the prospect of optimized dietary. Chronic diseases have emerged as a significant threat to health with and epidemic increased statistics. Recent work has suggested a significant role of the gastrointestinal microbiome, the interaction of the immune system with the nervous system in the health and diseases such as the effect of autonomic nervous activity on the immune response. Genetic variations may modulate the answer to treatment as does the inter-individual differences in the bacterial flora of the human digestive tract. Rapid progress in the understanding of the host microbial interaction has redefined pharmacokinetics of drug metabolism, allowing to improve the management of drug (ab) users and to improve the response in chronic situations. Nutrition as a therapeutic option for chronic diseases and therapeutic nutrition can be a target in chronic diseases as treatment and prevention

Malayalam translation of the best seller got published by Manorama Books and released by Kris Gopalakrishnan, Co-Founder of Infosys in October 2015. He has a Masters in Engineering Business Management from University of Warwick, UK and has a degree in Mechanical Engineering from College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram. He pioneering research helped Kerala government to elevate Jackfruit as its official State fruit.

Abstract:

For 60 years since its founding, Kerala took pride as the number one State in the country on life expectancy, receiving praise from world renowned global health expert, Professor Hans Rosling. He puts Kerala ahead of Washington DC on Human Health Index at a fraction of per capita income. However lifestyle diseases like diabetes is now in the order of an epidemic in the state reducing the life expectancy of our adult population above the age group of 30. For the first time Kerala lost out its number one position on life expectancy to Jammu and Kashmir due to an alarming drop in life expectancy after the age of 30 compared to J&K as per 2010 -14 census Data. Root cause of our problem with Diabetes and Lifestyle diseases is the rapid increase of starch in our diet over the past 60 years through rice, wheat and tubers like cassava. Through years of policy interventions we were able to make starch more affordable but the over correction is now hurting our health than helping it. In order for Kerala to get back and retain our number one position in life expectancy, we have to cut back our starch consumption from half a plate to a quarter and increase consumption of our grossly underutilized green jackfruits. This talk will scientifically explain why one of Kerala’s oldest traditions of eating green jackfruit as a meal is the perfect plate for diabetes and lifestyle diseases. Speaker will present results from the first glycemic research conducted on green jackfruit at Sydney University, first randomized control trial on green jackfruit meal showing reduction in HbA1c and finally will show new empirical evidence on a dramatic drop in diabetes medicine sales in Kerala during the first jackfruit season after it was elevated as the State’s Official Fruit. Will make a case to further elevate Kerala’s State Fruit as State Food for Lifestyle Diseases.

Biography:

Luke Stanaway is currently completing his PhD in Exercise and Sport Science at Massey University, New Zealand. He obtained his first journal publication in the first year of his PhD, with a systematic review in Nutrients and currently has a primary research article under review. He is the founding director of the sport and wellness app Zenforce sports and was the sport scientist for the New Zealand football under 17’s team in the last world cup cycle. His PhD centres around the effects of acute and chronic supplementation of nitrate-rich beetroot juice on cardiovascular function, cognition and mood in younger and older adults. He also has interests in all areas of nutrition and exercise as a personal trainer and nutritionist.

Abstract:

Statement of the Problem: Supplementation with nitrate-rich (NO3-) beetroot juice has been shown to improve exercise performance and cardiovascular (CV) responses, due to increased nitric oxide (NO) availability. However, it is unclear whether these benefits are greater in older adults who have an age-related decrease in NO and higher risk of disease. 

Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: This systematic review examines 12 randomised, crossover, control trials investigating food-based NO3- supplementation (from beetroot) in older adults and its potential benefits on CV, cerebrovascular and metabolic health and physiological and cognitive performance.

Findings:  Five studies reported improvements in CV health (blood pressure and blood flow), while five found no improvement. Four studies found improvements in physiological performance (time to exhaustion) following nitrate-rich beetroot supplementation in older adults. One study showed improvements in cerebrovascular health. Two studies investigate metabolic health (glucose and insulin control) and found no significant benefits.

Conclusion & Significance:  The current literature indicates benefits of nitrate-rich beetroot supplementation in older adults on physiological performance, with mild evidence indicating benefits on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. Effects on cognitive performance were mixed and studies on metabolic health suggest no benefit. However, there is limited research on the effects of nitrate-rich beetroot supplementation in older adults, thus further study utilising a randomised, double-blind, control trial design is required.

In 2015-2016, graduated from the school of Economics, Bydgoszcz, Poland. He is currently Director of LLP «SPA-SKY Production». In 2016 He participated in 21-St International Congress "Apislavia" Almaty with the report "Evaluation of the prospects of the use of table water enriched with antioxidants to correct functional State of the organism".

Abstract:

The mineral waters have long been used for prophylaxis and treatment of human beings. The value of mineral waters considerably depends on pH salt composition. Recently, there has been a significant amount of interest in drinking green tea, contributing to reduce the levels of free radicals i.e. reactive oxygen species (ROS) which have a negative impact on the biological structures of the body. ROS can come from the environment and be formed by the body itself, with 90% of our energy machine – mitochondria. However, abnormal accumulation of ROS promotes degeneration of mitochondria, which is an important reason for the development of many diseases, particularly in old age, when there is reduced the number of natural anti-oxidant Coenzyme Q₁₀ (CoQ₁₀). Supplementation of products with CoQ₁₀ has a positive impact in a number of metabolic diseases, especially those with a high energy demand (heart, liver, kidneys). However CoQ₁₀ refers to fat soluble compounds, it is poorly absorbed into these tissues.We used light (chrome) effect technology during the extraction of dietary compounds from 189 herbs at a wavelength of 490 nmc.

This has contributed to enhancing hydrophilic properties of extractable compounds and it turned out that CoQ₁₀ became a water soluble, thus increasing its ability to penetrate into the cells. In a small quantity of extract was added into the mineral water (under the Almaty) and it was called SPA- SKY – Source of Heaven. Efficiency in the use of mineral SPA-SKY water was assessed in the clinic of the Institute of Cardiology and Internal Diseases and it is concluded that when using this mineral water cholesterol and levels of oxidative stress in particular malonic dialdehydeis decreased. Thus, mineral water SPA-SKY has a high prophylactic and curative effect and can be used for individuals with metabolic diseases and to preserve the health of elderly individuals.

Biography:

The author received an honorable PhD in mathematics and majored in engineering at MIT. He attended different universities over 17 years and studied seven academic disciplines. Metabolic diseases and food nutrition during 2010 to 2013, then conducted his own diabetes research during 2014 to 2018. His approach is “quantitative medicine” based on mathematics, physics, optical and electronics physics, engineering modeling, signal processing, computer science, big data analytics, statistics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. His main focus is on preventive medicine using prediction tools. He believes that the better the prediction, the more control.

Abstract:

Introduction: The author presents a simple, yet highly accurate estimation of conversion ratios between Postprandial Plasma Glucose (PPG) versus carbs/sugar intake amount and post-meal waking steps.

Methods: The author collected 12,249 data of PPG, carbs/sugar grams and post-meal walking steps for 1,361 days (6/1/2015 - 2/21/2019).  He used his developed AI-tool to get predicted PPG values.  Furthermore, he applied his acquired knowledge from his 9-year development process of the GH-Method: math-physical medicine, which contains impacts on PPG from both food nutrition (his 8-million food database) and exercise.  Finally, he developed two simple conversion equations of PPG vs. Carbs/Sugar intake and PPG vs. post-meal walking which involved practical engineering methods of trial-and-error and curve fitting.  He has named this simplified, yet highly accurate technique, as the Natural Intelligence (NI) approach. 

Results: As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the PPG and its key formation factors, food and exercise, are waves which fluctuate violently.  He has summarized these two graphs into Table 1 with the following observed facts:

1. Although all waves fluctuate violently, their annual averaged values are mostly within a narrow (healthy) range.  This means that he has already learned how to control his PPG effectively through lifestyle management.
2. His averaged measured values are:  PPG is ~118 mg/dL, carbs/sugar per meal is ~15 grams, post-meal walking is >4,000 steps.
3. His developed 2 equations:  Each gram of carbs/sugar generated 2.4 mg/dL of PPG and each thousand steps of walking reduces 5 mg/dL of PPG.
4. Using these two simple but effective conversion equations, both of his AI-based and NI-based PPG predictions have achieved ~100% accuracy in comparison with 4,083 finger-piercing measured PPG data. 

Conclusion: The author has developed a simple and practical, yet highly accurate PPG prediction method to provide as a nursing tool and healthcare guide to T2D patients.  Once patients PPG (~70% to 85% of A1C formation) is under control, their A1C will most likely follow suit.
