Food Forward Trends Report 2015 - Asia Pacific
The document summarizes key findings from the Weber Shandwick Asia Pacific Food Forward Trends Report II, which examined consumer sentiment and food culture trends across Australia, China, South Korea, and Singapore. Four main trends emerged: 1) the preference gap between eating at home versus away is narrowing; 2) social media is profoundly influencing culinary knowledge and recipe inspiration; 3) online shopping for food is growing steadily, especially in China and South Korea; and 4) celebrity endorsements face increasing scrutiny. Social media was found to be a primary driver of new recipe discovery and food experience sharing across the region.

Four main trends emerged: 1) the preference gap between eating at home versus away is narrowing; 2) social media is profoundly influencing food knowledge, inspiration, and habits; 3) online grocery shopping is growing slowly but steadily, though supermarkets remain popular; and 4) celebrity endorsements face increasing scrutiny. Social media was found to be a primary source for recipe finding and inspiration for food experiences shared online. Online grocery purchasing was most common in China and South Korea, while Australians preferred supermarkets.
Impact of Demographic Factors on the Snacking Behavior of Individuals
Snacking behavior of the consumers has a great impact on their dietary behavior and health. Therefore this research was conducted to assess the relationship of snacking time and the snacking preferences with the age and gender of the individuals. Preference to consume different snack varieties, such as Biscuits, Potato chips, chocolate, candy, sandwiches, ice cream, fruits and pizza in particular periods of the day morning, evening and night was assessed in the study. The relationship was assessed using a consumer panel consisting of 125 respondents. The respondents were asked to express their preferences using a questionnaire. Results revealed that both age and gender effect on preferences for snack types and snacking time.

Socio economic and modern lifestyle
This document discusses how social factors and modern diets influence food choices. Low-income groups have more limited and less nutritious diets due to cost, accessibility, and lack of knowledge barriers. They consume more energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods and develop health issues earlier. Modern diets consist of "junk foods" that are high in calories but low in nutrients. People's diets reflect the times and environments in which they live, with urbanization leading to increased risk of obesity and other chronic diseases. Addressing social needs is important to improving health inequalities related to diet.

Malaysia society is experiencing rapid urbanisation and modernization. A sizeable new middle class has emerged and the traditional ways of life and eating habits of the different ethnic communities are changing. For many years, nutritional surveys have been capturing the transformations of food consumptions. To date a comprehensive survey focusing on the socio-cultural determinants of food habits at the national level have not been reported. The purpose of the Malaysian Food Barometer is to fill this gap. This PPT presents the conceptual framework and the methodologies used to investigate the eating practices and cultural representations on food and eating in a multicultural context.
session 9 Adolescent Nutrition TOT.pptx
This document discusses adolescent nutrition and recommended interventions. It begins by defining adolescents as those aged 10-19 according to WHO and Ethiopian guidelines. Adolescence is an important period for growth and development but one that is often neglected. Nutritional challenges during this period can affect long-term health and development. Factors like sexual maturation increase nutritional needs. Common problems include undernutrition, anemia, and vitamin/mineral deficiencies. Social norms and taboos also negatively impact adolescent girls' nutrition. Recommended interventions include nutrition education, counseling, improving access to services, and creating supportive environments. Nutrition assessments should monitor indicators like BMI and micronutrient status to identify those at risk.

How social factors and modern diet influence food choices
Low-income groups face significant challenges in obtaining a healthy diet due to factors like cost, accessibility, knowledge, and cooking facilities. This often leads to reliance on cheap, unhealthy foods that are energy-dense but nutrient-poor. As a result, low-income groups have higher rates of both undernutrition and overnutrition, developing chronic diseases earlier than higher-income groups. Modern diets also contribute issues, as junk foods are high in calories yet lack nutrients. They have become widely accepted but provide little health value. Factors influencing food choice are social, cultural, and economic, so solutions to dietary issues must target these specific constraints faced by low-income populations.
A Study on Dietary Proclivity and its affinity.pptx
This study examined the relationship between dietary habits and environmental awareness in Bengaluru, India. The researchers surveyed 100 respondents about their food shopping and consumption behaviors. Key findings include:
- Taste, cost and nutrition were most important factors when shopping for food, while convenience was less important.
- Respondents had varying levels of awareness about environmental impacts of farming practices, though most had basic knowledge of organic farming benefits.
- Most respondents were open to buying nutritious foods for health reasons and said they would pay more for organic options.
- Female respondents were more willing than males to change their diets to include more nutritious foods and consider environmental impacts.
The researchers concluded the study provided insights into
NUTRITION
This document provides an introduction to concepts related to food, nutrition, and their relationship to health. It defines key terms like food, nutrition, and nutrients. It discusses factors that affect nutrition like socioeconomic status and lifestyle. It also outlines how concepts in food and nutrition have changed over time, from a focus on macronutrients to micronutrients.

Nokia
This document summarizes the results of a survey on the lifestyles and health of students. The survey looked at eating habits, snacking patterns, food preferences, physical activity, stress levels, and self-assessments of health and weight. It found that fast food consumption has increased and is linked to health issues like obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure in children. Changing lifestyles and more time spent in nuclear families rather than joint families are contributing factors. The conclusion warns that obesity is a global health crisis and emphasizes maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, and avoiding junk food and smoking.
Ending hunger
This document provides information about establishing food policy councils to address hunger and food insecurity. It defines food security and the goals of food policy councils, which include developing just and sustainable food systems, ensuring access to nutritious food for all, and promoting health, community development, and local food systems. Sample vision and mission statements from other food policy councils focus on ending hunger and increasing access to healthy, affordable, locally-grown food. The document also lists goals, strategies, and accomplishments of food policy councils in other communities as examples for Southern Maryland to consider in establishing its own food policy council.

Global nutrition transition and the pandemic of obesity in developing countries
Introduction:
This article is about studying the pandemic of obesity around the globe. The focus of this article looks at many views and aspects of the reasons why we are experiencing this pandemic. Years ago people did not worry or think much about obesity because they didn’t see it very often. The authors of this article pursue the change in diets in the 1970’s. Something has clearly shifted around these times because by the 1980’s it was understood that dietary quality declined, physical activity was declining and obesity was on the rise in the United States. This study shows how the pandemic is not only here at home, but how it has reached rural areas in some of the poorest countries such as Africa and South Asia.
Incentive:
The purpose of this study is to attempt to determine what changes have occurred to cause this rise of obesity. There are reasons for why we are eating the way we do, and moving less then we used to. If we can understand what key factors are playing major roles in this occurrence, then we can attempt to restore this pandemic. This article may provide information regarding future options and changes necessary to overcome this problem.
Methods:
This is a review article so the authors themselves do not use any techniques and they do not do any of the actual studies. This peer-reviewed journal article takes results and discussions from multiple previous works and combines them to show the probable shifts of the human diet. The key aspects, among many others, these authors reached at are studies done on institutional and large-scale feeding programs, education: labeling and front-of-package initiatives, regulations regarding beverages and food marketing, schools, and country-specific initiatives.
Conclusion:
The authors found major shifts in the way humans eat and drink. Major problems are coming from the consumption of processed foods, fast food restaurants, lack of education, and dramatically reduced movement/exercise. The authors see a evolution process occurring that is non beneficial. We need to evolve towards a healthier diet involving less processed food and more nutrient-dense food. Obesity, cancer, and diabetes rates are all on the climb and a big factor of that is what we put into our bodies.
Analysis:
The most important thing I took away from this article is that there differently is a change occurring around us and it comes from the decisions we make every day on what we decide to put in our bodies. I think it may be hard for some younger people to see a change happening because nothing seems new to us. We are used to the away from home meals and the easy access to fast food chains. As we get more and more educated on the topic, we begin to realize that health issues are on the rise, businesses are solely based on income rather than related health issues, and people are becoming lazy.

A food ordering app that integrates nutrition support and behavioral incentives can help address issues of food security, nutrition, diet-related disease, and health equity by supporting the 5 pillars of the Administration's health strategy. It can improve access to healthy foods, integrate nutrition into healthcare, empower consumers to make healthy choices, support physical activity, and enhance nutrition research. By enabling online/mobile ordering and loyalty programs, providing nutrition data, and using rewards/incentives tied to healthy foods, the app can specifically help drive traffic to healthy food retailers and venues. It also aims to address racial disparities in health outcomes by leveraging the app and evidence-based nutrition initiatives within healthcare through integration with electronic health records and incentives programs like SN

A food ordering app that provides nutrition support and incentives can help address several goals from the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. Specifically, it can help improve food access and affordability, integrate nutrition and health, empower consumers to make healthy choices, support physical activity, and enhance nutrition research. The app would allow users to order healthy foods from various venues and provide nutrition information, rewards for healthy orders, and tools to track health progress. This could help reduce health disparities and diet-related diseases while supporting federal nutrition programs and research efforts.

A food ordering app that incorporates nutrition support and behavior incentives can help address issues of food security, nutrition, diet-related disease, and health equity by supporting the 5 pillars of the Administration's health strategy. It would do this by enabling healthy food access and driving traffic to participating food vendors, providing nutrition data to help with healthier buying, and using rewards/incentives tied to healthy foods. Tracking cumulative nutrition and health stats could also help impact outcomes and reduce racial disparities that were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Implementing incentives modeled after a successful SNAP pilot has potential for significant cost savings and prevention of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease.

Food Policy An Introduction
A food policy is designed to influence the operation of the food system network of farms, distributors, restaurants, retailers, and consumers . It impacts on how food is produced, processed, distributed, marketed, consumed, and disposed. Implementing good food policies is crucial to achieving more equitable and sustainable food systems. This paper provides a brief introduction on food policy. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Tolulope J. Ashaolu | Sarhan M.

This document summarizes a presentation on healthy living for women in Canada. It discusses how current healthy living discourse focuses too much on individual responsibility and fails to consider social and systemic factors. It also finds limited evidence about the impacts of gender on health behaviors and outcomes. The presentation calls for more gender-responsive approaches to healthy living policies and programs that employ sex- and gender-based analysis. It provides an overview of Canadian data on various healthy living topics for women and examples of promising gender-sensitive interventions. The conclusion advocates for incorporating a gender lens on healthy living to better address the needs and inequities faced by women.

How social factors and modern diet influence food choices
Low-income groups face significant challenges in obtaining a healthy diet due to factors like cost, accessibility, knowledge, and cooking facilities. This often leads to reliance on cheap, unhealthy foods that are energy-dense but nutrient-poor. As a result, low-income groups have higher rates of both undernutrition and overnutrition, developing chronic diseases earlier than higher-income groups. Modern diets also contribute issues, as junk foods are high in calories yet lack nutrients. They have become widely accepted but provide little health value.

A food ordering app that incorporates nutrition support and behavior incentives can help address issues of food security, nutrition, diet-related disease, and health equity by supporting the 5 pillars of the Administration's health strategy. It would do this by enabling healthy food access and driving traffic to participating food vendors, providing nutrition data to help with healthier buying, and using rewards/incentives tied to healthy foods. Tracking cumulative nutrition and health stats could also help impact outcomes and reduce racial disparities that were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Implementing incentives modeled after a successful SNAP pilot has potential for significant cost savings and prevention of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease.

Food Policy An Introduction
A food policy is designed to influence the operation of the food system network of farms, distributors, restaurants, retailers, and consumers . It impacts on how food is produced, processed, distributed, marketed, consumed, and disposed. Implementing good food policies is crucial to achieving more equitable and sustainable food systems. This paper provides a brief introduction on food policy. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Tolulope J. Ashaolu | Sarhan M.

This document discusses the influence of culture on health and oral health. It makes three key points:
1) Culture plays an important role in shaping behaviors and practices related to nutrition, hygiene, child rearing, and healthcare that can significantly impact health and oral health outcomes. Both beneficial and harmful cultural influences exist.
2) Some common harmful cultural practices discussed include large joint families contributing to malnutrition, beliefs delaying medical care for children, and traditions increasing risk of infection. Food customs can also influence nutrient deficiencies.
3) The document calls for identifying and discouraging deleterious cultural practices through health education, with primary health workers and teachers playing a role in raising awareness of harmful impacts.

Global nutrition transition and the pandemic of obesity in developing countries
Introduction:
This article is about studying the pandemic of obesity around the globe. The focus of this article looks at many views and aspects of the reasons why we are experiencing this pandemic. Years ago people did not worry or think much about obesity because they didn’t see it very often. The authors of this article pursue the change in diets in the 1970’s. Something has clearly shifted around these times because by the 1980’s it was understood that dietary quality declined, physical activity was declining and obesity was on the rise in the United States. This study shows how the pandemic is not only here at home, but how it has reached rural areas in some of the poorest countries such as Africa and South Asia.
Incentive:
The purpose of this study is to attempt to determine what changes have occurred to cause this rise of obesity. There are reasons for why we are eating the way we do, and moving less then we used to. If we can understand what key factors are playing major roles in this occurrence, then we can attempt to restore this pandemic. This article may provide information regarding future options and changes necessary to overcome this problem.
Methods:
This is a review article so the authors themselves do not use any techniques and they do not do any of the actual studies. This peer-reviewed journal article takes results and discussions from multiple previous works and combines them to show the probable shifts of the human diet. The key aspects, among many others, these authors reached at are studies done on institutional and large-scale feeding programs, education: labeling and front-of-package initiatives, regulations regarding beverages and food marketing, schools, and country-specific initiatives.
Conclusion:
The authors found major shifts in the way humans eat and drink. Major problems are coming from the consumption of processed foods, fast food restaurants, lack of education, and dramatically reduced movement/exercise. The authors see a evolution process occurring that is non beneficial. We need to evolve towards a healthier diet involving less processed food and more nutrient-dense food. Obesity, cancer, and diabetes rates are all on the climb and a big factor of that is what we put into our bodies.
Analysis:
The most important thing I took away from this article is that there differently is a change occurring around us and it comes from the decisions we make every day on what we decide to put in our bodies. I think it may be hard for some younger people to see a change happening because nothing seems new to us. We are used to the away from home meals and the easy access to fast food chains. As we get more and more educated on the topic, we begin to realize that health issues are on the rise, businesses are solely based on income rather than related health issues, and people are becoming lazy.

This document summarizes a presentation on healthy living for women in Canada. It discusses how current healthy living discourse focuses too much on individual responsibility and fails to consider social and systemic factors. It also finds limited evidence about the impacts of gender on health behaviors and outcomes. The presentation calls for more gender-responsive approaches to healthy living policies and programs that employ sex- and gender-based analysis. It provides an overview of Canadian data on various healthy living topics for women and examples of promising gender-sensitive interventions. The conclusion advocates for incorporating a gender lens on healthy living to better address the needs and inequities faced by women.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
