Annotated Bibliography on Nutrition
Anderson, J. W., Kendall, C. W. C., & Jenkins, D. J. A. (2018). Importance of weight management in Type 2 diabetes: a review with meta-analysis of clinical studies. Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 22(5), 331–339.
According to this article, Insufficient calorie intake is a significant cause of poor glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes, and obesity is a key risk factor for developing the disease. The studies on the effects of obesity on the risk factors for developing diabetes and coronary heart disease (CHD) and the advantages of losing weight in lowering these risks were evaluated. The authors examined the effects of weight reduction on glycemia and CHD risk variables in controlled clinical trials. Also, they conducted a meta-analysis of the effects of weight loss on obese diabetic persons.
Steel, J. M., Lloyd, G. G., Young, R. J., & MacIntyre, C. C. A. (2020). Changes in eating attitudes during the first year of diabetes treatment. Journal of Psychosomatic Research, 34(3), 313–318.
This article examines a group of newly diagnosed insulin-dependent diabetics' eating habits. Before starting treatment and 12 months after receiving standard medical care, 32 patients took the eating attitudes test and eating disorders inventory. It claims that considerable changes occurred in several areas, some of which were anticipated due to the food and weight management practices engaged in the best diabetic care. Additionally, this group of individuals had altered their body image, which may have put them at risk for developing eating disorders.
Burton, A. L., & Abbott, M. J. (2019). Processes and pathways to binge eating: Development of an integrated cognitive and behavioural model of binge eating. Journal of Eating Disorders, 7(1). doi:10.1186/s40337-019-0248-0
In this article, Burton and Abbott examine the models and ideas that now exist to determine the causes of binge eating in modern eating. The researchers used questionnaires to investigate a sample of 760 participants. Data is assessed using a goodness-of-fit model. The researchers' study identifies the primary psychological variables contributing to an unhealthy habit: low self-esteem, a lack of emotional control, and misconceptions about eating. The study results showed a clear bivariate association between the binge eating habit and the components that have been found. The researchers conclude that victims' psychological, cognitive, and behavioral aspects can influence binge eating.
Childs, Caroline E et al. "Diet and Immune Function." Nutrients vol. 11,8 1933. August 16, 2019, doi:10.3390/nu11081933
Childs, Calder, and Miles aim to examine the impact of a good diet on the immune system in their insightful article. The main claim made by academics is that the power of immune systems is significantly influenced by dietary intake. The researchers examine the human immune system from the standpoint of diet and nutrition, highlighting the critical organs and cells. Academics further explore the importance of nutrition in fostering robust immune systems. Despite the article's use of advanced scientific terminology, readers can easily understand the writers' key claims. The page also lists some of the main immune deficiency conditions, such as chronic systemic inflammation and other conditions linked to the gut.
Cao, Changwei, et al. "Diet and Skin Aging-From the Perspective of Food Nutrition." Nutrients vol. 12,3 870. 24 Mar. 2020, doi:10.3390/nu12030870
The purpose of this article is to offer a thorough description of how food and nutrition affect how quickly skin ages. The authors claim that nutrition has a significant impact on the condition of the skin. Academics contend that eating well-balanced foods can slow the skin's aging process. The scholars discuss the intricate composition of human skin, how aging manifests in people before recommending a healthy diet, and the benefits of antioxidants for the skin. According to the study, two key anti-aging strategies for the skin of humans are adhering to a healthy diet and avoiding food-borne antioxidants.
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. (2017, January 26, January 26). Facts & Statistics on a diet. Retrieved July 30 July 30, 2020, from https://www.hhs.gov/fitness/resource-center/facts-andstatistics/index.html
This internet article aims to explain and enlighten Americans about the national principles of physical exercise and nutrition. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2017 collection, analysis, and presentation of data are described in the article. According to the findings, both children and adults in America appear to have a negative view of physical activity. Two-thirds of youngsters do not engage in regular physical activity, whilst just 5% of adults are dedicated to daily physical activity. On the other side, it is said that Americans have bad eating habits.
Ridder, D. D., Kroese, F., Evers, C., Adriaanse, M., & Gillebaart, M. (2017). Healthy diet: Health impact, prevalence, correlates, and interventions. Psychology & Health, 32(8), 907-941. doi:10.1080/08870446.2017.1316849
The psychological literature is briefly reviewed by Ridder et al. (2017) to explain the impact of diet on harmful habits and lifestyles, just like Burton and his contemporaries did. The latter researchers discover that many people have incomplete and inaccurate knowledge about food and nutrition. The authors begin by defining healthy diets and presenting the essential elements of the suggested healthy diet. Additionally, the academics question the public's broad assumptions about food. The researchers claim that despite the public's access to much information on nutrition and health, many people do not adopt healthy eating practices and end up with chronic illnesses and conditions related to nutrition.
Baker, Phillip. "Fat Nation: the Rise and fall of Obesity on the Political Agenda." The Conversation, May 25, 2017, theconversation.com/fat-nation-the-rise-and-fall-of obesity-on-the-political-agenda-72875.
The obesity prevention debate's prominence in Canada's government agenda is examined in Phillip Baker's study piece. Examining political speeches for the phrase "obesity," analyzing media and policy literature, and conducting interviews with various stakeholders were all part of the study. The analysis shows that despite obesity's steady rise from the 1980s onward, the government only began to take decisive action in the early 2000s. The strategy included social network marketing campaigns, school activity programs, and voluntary food labelling initiatives.
Shugart, Helene A. Heavy: The obesity crisis in cultural context. Oxford University Press, 2016, pp. 19–33.
The reading explores the various public theories of obesity to assess the lack of success of anti-obesity health programs despite enormous, diverse, and fervent efforts. The majority of the accounts that are currently offered are principally and technically distinct from one another. The lack of data has led to the rejection of theories that link obesity to self-disciplined efforts to limit caloric intake or influence environmental factors.
Thomas, Christopher N., et al. "Overweight and Obesity in Local Media: An Analysis of Media Coverage in CDC-Funded Communities." Preventing Chronic Disease, vol. 14, 2017.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sponsored Christopher et al. to perform a content analysis of news publications and broadcast media in localities between June 2011 and May 2013. In order to control public perceptions of the discourse, the essay suggests contextualizing obesity in the media from an epidemic to a treatable condition. The free press substantially impacts grantees' ability to disseminate information and secure funding for obesity and overweight health campaign initiatives. The researchers concentrated on signifiers, causes and treatments, the targeted population section, and the dictions utilized by writers and newscasters.
