Goldstein, MD, is always interested in ways to improve the lifestyle habits of his patients. That is why when he and his wife, Myrna Chandler Goldstein, were first ap- proached to research and write a book on 50 healthy habits, they instantly replied in the affirmative. People who begin to follow healthier habits at younger ages are more likely to adhere to healthier lifestyles as they grow into their young adult years, their middle years, and eventually into their senior years. Of course, teenagers are not the only people who have habits or regular and recurring patterns of behavior. People of all ages acquire habits. Even young chil- dren demonstrate them. What happens when a parent tries to read one bedtime story instead of three? The child will immediately plead for the other two. The child and parent have created the habit of three bedtime stories, and that is what the child wants and expects. According to a study published in 2014 in the journal Nursing and Midwifery Studies, “the best time for establishing healthy lifestyle habits is during adolescence.” In this cross-sectional descriptive study, researchers from Iran investigated the health- promoting behaviors of 424 high school students in Rasht, Iran, during the first se- mester of 2012. Students from both private and public schools were included in the cohort; all the students completed questionnaires. The researchers found that al- though the students tended to engage in health-promoting habits, there was room for improvement. Moreover, the male students participated in more health-promoting behaviors than the female students. On the other hand, the older students, who were working hard to gain admission into the competitive university system, tended to be www.Ebook777.com x Introduction too busy to adhere to healthy habits. The researchers emphasized that health instruc- tors, teachers, and families need to pay more attention to these students to ensure that they follow healthy habits. “As most of lifelong healthy and unhealthy lifestyle habits are established during adolescence, developing effective health promotion and disease prevention strategies for adolescents seems crucial.”1 These results are not uncommon. Large numbers of teens and young adults fail to follow healthy habits. A study published in 2015 in the journal Collegium Antropologicum investigated the nutritional knowledge and dietary habits of Croatian adolescents, but it could easily have described teens in many other loca- tions throughout the world. The cohort consisted of 117 teens between the ages of 17 and 19 years; all the teens completed self-administered questionnaires. The researchers learned that less than one-third of the adolescents demonstrated ad- equate knowledge about nutrition and dietary habits. The males as well as teens from rural locations and teens who were overweight had even less knowledge than the others. Teens frequently skipped meals, especially breakfast, and males consumed high amounts of meat and meat products. Females and overweight fe- males practiced fad dieting. The males consumed high amounts of soft drinks while the females ate too many sweets. Most of their nutrition and dietary infor- mation was obtained from television. Evidently, these teens, as well as countless numbers of teens throughout the world, need to make a number of changes in their everyday habits. These changes included eating more meals per day, eating breakfast, higher intakes of fish, and lower intakes of meat and sweetened food and drinks. The researchers noted that “the final outcome would result in long- term positive impact on dietary habits.”2 And, intervention programs may improve habits. That is what Spanish re- searchers found in a study conducted during the 2013 to 2014 academic year and published in 2015 in the journal Nutrición Hospitalaria. A total of 158 students between the ages of 10 and 12 years were divided into an intervention group and a control group. For eight months, the researchers administered a Healthy Habits Program (HHP), a specially designed twice-weekly curriculum, to students in the intervention group. The students in the control group continued with their usual daily habits and did not participate in the program. In addition to the students, HHP included the parents and teachers of four schools. At the beginning of the study, there were no differences in eating habits between the two groups. By the end of the study, the intervention group had improved eating habits, and the eat- ing habits of the members of the control group had worsened. The researchers commented that their findings demonstrated “that healthy lifestyle habits in ado- lescents are controllable and improvable, even in a relatively short period of time, despite this being a stage of life that is characterized by major changes, progressive independence and increased risk-taking.”3 This book discusses 50 healthy habits that are useful for teens and young adults. But it also addresses barriers and problems associated with these habits. It is hoped that these entries serve as the foundation for interesting explorations and discussions. Introduction xi NOTES 1.

In the course of the Doctoral Thesis the following concepts have been analysed: the institute of alternative dispute resolution in modern law, the concept of the modern sports law, mediation for resolving sports-related disputes, alternative dispute resolution and mediation by national and international sports institutions, as well as a case study of two high-profile sports cases. As a result, three thematic groups of conclusions arose followed by suggestions regarding the introduction of the concept “sport dispute resolution” in the Latvian law and amending Latvian sport policy. Given the specific nature of legal relationships in sport, sports disputes should be resolved amicably, promptly, confidentially and, most importantly, should lead to a harmonious and, if possible, non-aggressive relationship between the parties to the dispute, fair outcome, including knowing the possibility of causing harm to other parties not directly involved in the dispute; in other words, conflicts should be resolved within the “family of sport”.

Katermina (a), Natalia S. Solovyeva (b)* *Corresponding author (a) Kuban State University, Krasnodar, Russia, [email protected], (b) Nosov Magnitogorsk State Technical University, Magnitogorsk, Russia, [email protected] Abstract The article is devoted to the gastronomic picture of the world and English neologisms which reflect both traditional and new food practices of the English-speaking society. As a result of the study of neologisms in the English gastronomic picture of the world four of the most important lexical groups have been distinguished. The groups that designate food and people both as consumers and producers of products have the greatest nominative density. Attitudes toward food as a source of nutrition and a person as a consumer of nutrition are traditional points of view for any society. However, new values for a modern society are noted in these groups. Food is seen as a source of aesthetic pleasure and a means of socialization.The groups of neologisms denoting the places of consumption and purchase of food as well as new technologies related to food production are represented by fewer units but they reflect political, social, cultural, scientific and technological changes that take place in modern English-speaking society. Especially significant is the trend according to which food consumption appears to be a secondary process compared to other occupations that are more important for a modern person.The authors emphasize the importance of considering language changes in close connection with changes in society, with the peculiarities of mentality and psychological attitudes of a modern person.

Over the last several years, the food and beverage industry has seen a significant uptick in the public’s desire for items that are “healthy” and/or “natural.” Unfortunately, this trend has caused confusion and unintended associations between those words and health. Most people don’t actually know what makes a food item healthy or natural, which is one reason why an agency like the FDA has to step in to assist. The unfortunate truth is that the “healthiness” of a substance is not binary. Even those most versed in the subject of health and nutrition do not know the effect of a food on health with certainty. The health aspects of a substance (positive and negative) fall on a continuum. Over the last century, there have been large shifts in what constitutes a healthy diet. Chemicals that we recognize as vitamins today were only discovered, isolated, and named in the first decades of the 18th century. It was partly this discovery that paved the way for today’s dietary standards and label claims.

  • Clicking Here
    Preface I cannot claim that this booklet is my own work! All of the information you’ll find in here is the accumulation of knowledge I’ve gathered from the people that have helped me in my quest to find the very best training and dietary information for athletes wanting to achieve their very best in performance. The journey started with one page I added on an animal rights website. I had no idea there were any other vegans actually training, so the page was as much a search for others as a resource for people to use. This grew into the website www.veganbodybuilding.org as I met friends & mentors who helped me on my journey to finding greater fitness & health. Robbie Hazeley (the original ‘Vegan Bodybuilder’) taught me a lot about training and programming, Pat Reeves (World Record holding powerlifter) taught me much about nutrition and overcoming adversity; Joni Purmonen was my first ‘virtual training partner’ as we both met on the old vegan power yahoo group (now defunct) and we went on to grow first the Vegan Bodybuilding yahoo group, then launch the Vegan Fitness forum from that. Over the years we’ve seen the strength & fitness community change. In the beginning it was frowned upon to even consider dropping meat, nowadays we have many of the top athletes moving towards a vegan diet to improve their performance! With the increase in research backing up the vegan diet as both being super for health and great for maximum performance we are now in position to say that any athlete, in any sport, can benefit from moving towards a plant-based eating programme if they are after the best results for their effort and a healthier life generally.
