Diabetes and high levels of blood sugar may be linked to abnormalities in a person’s body clock and sleep patterns, according to a genome-wide association study published today in the journal Nature Genetics. The research suggests that diabetes and higher than normal blood sugar levels could partly be tackled by treating sleep problems, say the researchers, from Imperial College London and other international institutions.
Københavns Madhus viser med deres nye ratingmodel for god mad og gode måltider vejen frem til bedre mad og måltider i offentlig og fælles spisning i Danmark. Der er brug for smagsdommere, og der er brug for at stille krav til sig selv og til andre. Der skal tænkes måltider og ikke bare mad. I køkkenløftet lægger Madhuset overliggeren højt – ingen skal lade sig nøjes. Denne publikation kommer med et kvalificeret bud på målet, og hvad måltiderne konkret skal måles på. Flot og banebrydende arbejde, der gør det muligt at realisere åndsbolle-visionen.
Københavns Madhus har til formål at sikre, at de ca. 40.000 måltider, som Københavns Kommune hver dag serverer, skal smage så godt, at maden bliver spist med glæde. Som led i det arbejde har Madhuset netop udgivet en ny og flot publikation, med en vision for, hvordan Københavns børn og ældre kan få mad, der gør dem sundere og gladere.

Giving pupils a bigger role in the production of food boosts enthusiasm for healthy meals.
An independent study at the University of Cumbria in the US found that nine in every ten youngsters want to play video games at the same time as exercising. The games reduce the boredom of exercise. Fifty children aged 11 and 12 were asked to use exercise equipment combined with video games provided by a company called Gamercize. The children could play their games only while they maintained movement on the fitness machines. If they stopped exercising, the games paused.
A general overview is provided of two primary categories of objective monitors: pedometers and accelerometers. The desired outcome measure will determine the specific instrument category, options, and features from which the ultimate instrument choice is made. Other considerations include evidence of validity and reliability, cost, computer interface and download options, memory capacity, data aggregation and storage methods, and general participant and researcher burden associated with instrument use. There is no single objective PA assessment instrument that is appropriate for all situations, populations, and research questions.
A University of Missouri researcher has created a clinical tool to identify those at highest risk for having undetected hyperglycemia, impaired fasting glucose and undiagnosed diabetes. If these conditions are identified early, patients may benefit from preventative strategies that can minimize progression to diabetes, other diseases and mortality.
12,316 adults in the NHANES study provided information on their health habits, diet, height, and weight. The study authors analyzed this information to determine how eating breakfast may affect diet choices during the rest of the day and our waistlines over the long run. Female participants who reported eating breakfast regularly were thinner than non-breakfast eaters. And those who ate a low-energy-density breakfast, such as whole grain cereal, tended to eat lower energy density foods throughout the rest of the day. This research was sponsored by the Breakfast Research Institute, an industry-sponsored group that funds health and nutrition research.
