Authors to talk about
nutrition during visit to O'Brien Farms
EAST MANATEE -- O'Brien Family Farms, 16505 State Road 64 E., will host "Naked Calories" authors Mira Calton and Jayson Calton from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday for a lecture and book signing.
The Caltons' story begins personally: By the time Mira Calton was 30 years old, she had the bone density of an 80-year-old woman. Her doctor's official diagnosis was advanced osteoporosis, and he prescribed a host of medications. But Mira preferred to take her health into her own hands and began a search for alternatives.
Moving to Florida to be closer to her family, she found Jayson Calton, a nutritional theorist with experience working with people who had chronic health conditions. He not only reversed her condition within two years, they bonded over their common passion and desire to help others uncover the sources of their disease through nutrition.
In 2005, they married and set off on a six-year, 100-country research journey to study the effects of modernization on the lifestyle and nutrition habits of people around the world. Their findings culminated in this book.
O'Brien Family Farms is a farm stand and educational center that features hydroponically grown fresh fruits and vegetables that customers can pick themselves or buy freshly picked.

Month of July is celebrated as 'THE NUTRITION MONTH' in the Philippines! At the center stage is the City of Koronadal spearheading the events with cooking competition along the 27 Barangays this time promoting different menu created out of the native chicken. Recipes from this local fowl made headlines as main dish and cooking of various delicacies derived from this readily available bird. The breast feeding and milk expression competitions were equally promoted courtesy of our nursing mothers and sucking babies!

Kiwanis Marbel 500. Nutrition Month. 2nd of 7th Parts (72711)Milk Expression Contest!
March is Nutrition Month, and you might think that means I'm going to talk about what you should eat. But instead of talking about what we eat, I want to talk about how we eat it. In the late 1970s, just 18 percent of an average individual's daily caloric intake was consumed away from home. By the mid-1990s it was 32 percent. All that food eaten away from home hides calories, salt, sugar, fat, heaven knows what else. It's making us gain weight, and more than that, it's making us feel uprooted, distanced from our origins and our communities. The solution: Let's start cooking.
Last week I met a lady who came to the U.S. from Yemen 10 years ago. Since living here, she has gained 30 pounds. As I was talking to her, I asked myself why everyone who moves here seems to gain weight -- in fact, the same thing happened to me when I first came to this country from Peru. So, I asked her why she thought this had occurred, and she said it was the fast pace of American life. In Yemen, she said, cooking smells often filled the house beginning at breakfast, and meals were enjoyed with family. In the U.S., away from all that family and community, she would just open a box of cereal in the morning. No aromas, no shared meals, no community -- and pretty soon, food was eaten processed, in a hurry, on the run. The pounds packed on.
According to some experts, smells of food cooking are part of creating a sense of satiation, so eating pre-made food can contribute to overeating. But the importance of cooking goes even farther, says Karen Ansel, spokeswoman of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, contributor to Woman's Day magazine and co-author of The Calendar Diet: A Month by Month Guide to Losing Weight While Living Your Life, "Cooking isn't just about the food or even nutrition, it's the glue that holds families together. Cooking your own meals ingrains a greater connectedness to family and home, something that's so elusive in many of our hectic, fast-paced lives." But what about that fast-paced life that my Yemeni friend, and all the rest of us, deal with? Says Ansel, "Making your own meals doesn't have to mean hours slaving over a hot stove. With a little advance planning you can easily get a healthy, homemade meal on the table in 15 to 20 minutes."
It's the "advanced planning" part that's key. You need to have the right tools (knives and cutting boards, baking or roasting pan, skillet and saucepan), and a bit of Sunday afternoon to pre-cook. Plan to roast a chicken. Cut up a batch of vegetables (peppers, eggplant, sweet potatoes), toss them with a little olive oil and roast them in another pan alongside the chicken. Boil a batch of brown rice. Do all of this simultaneously and it takes no more than an hour. What do you have? The makings for Monday's burritos. For Tuesday's stew. For Wednesday's pasta sauce. Each working evening, you only need a quarter of an hour in the kitchen to put it together -- less than you might spend heating up a fat-, salt- and sugar-filled frozen pizza.
March is the month of no excuses. Start cooking!

Health
During the winter, an athlete needs to change what he or she eats and drinks, since nutritional needs change somewhat in the cold weather. An athlete that does not change his or her diet during the winter is likely to become dehydrated, lack energy, and possibly become hypothermic.
Here are three nutrition tips for an athlete that is participating in winter sports, which can help keep him or her healthy.
Drink Hot Liquids
An athlete should be drinking hot liquids if he or she is involved with winter sports, because hot liquids can help him or her increase body temperature. An athlete needs to stay hydrated during winter, since he or she is breathing in cold air, which increases his or her metabolism. An athlete that drinks cold water is likely to suffer from hypothermia, since the cold water can decrease body temperature significantly, even if he or she is running around sweating. A thermos filled with hot chocolate, tomato soup, hot tea, hot cider, or oatmeal is perfect for a winter weather athlete. If an athlete can fill the thermos with these types of hot liquids and foods, he or she is more likely to want to eat before, during, and after participating in sports or exercising, which can decrease his or her risk of hypothermia and dehydration.
Eat Snacks with Carbohydrates Often
An athlete should be consuming more complex carbohydrates during the winter, which can help keep him or her full of energy during sports. Since an athlete has a higher metabolism during winter sports, he or she is going to need more carbohydrates to replenish his or her body. An athlete might not always have a thermos to carry around hot liquids or soup, so he or she needs to plan on carrying a baggy with smaller items in it. Some great complex carbohydrates an athlete can eat during the winter include cheese crackers, peanut butter crackers, bagels, trail mix, bananas, and energy bars. An athlete should be choosing products that he or she can easily take with him or her, which will not freeze in the cold weather, and is easy to digest. An athlete should plan on consuming a small amount of these items at least every 60 minutes, which can help keep his or her energy levels regulated during the winter. Before playing sports or exercising, an athlete should eat chili, pasta with sauce, potatoes, and soups, which are all full of complex carbohydrates.
Never Drink Alcohol Before Engaging in Physical Activity
An athlete should also avoid drinking any alcohol before he or she engages in physical activity, because alcohol is very dangerous during the cold weather. Alcohol can dilate the blood vessels, which causes an athlete to lose heat faster, and this can lead to serious hypothermia. Drinking alcohol is more common during the winter months, due to the various holidays and family activities, but should never be consumed by an athlete before working out. An athlete might begin to sweat if he or she drinks one beverage, which could cause an athlete to think he or she is hot, and he or she is less likely to notice frost bite. If an athlete drinks alcohol during the winter, he or she is also going to be increasing his or her metabolism, which will decrease his or her energy levels, since the body will be trying to regulate the dropping body temperature.

Three Nutrition Tips for Athletes Participating in Winter Sports

Pfizer said that no decisions have been made on the animal-health and infant-nutrition businesses.

Pfizer Inc. (PFE) may select a buyer for its infant-nutrition unit as soon as next week after receiving bids from Nestle SA (NESN) and Danone SA (BN), according to people with knowledge of the matter.
Nestle and Danone each submitted final offers of about $10 billion for the business, said the people, who declined to be identified because the discussions are private. Other consumer companies and private-equity firms are also involved in the auction because they may alleviate the antitrust risk for the bidders, one person said yesterday.
Danone and Nestle have been working on ways to overcome antitrust hurdles, people familiar with the matter said in February. At that time, Nestle was considering buying all of Pfizers infant-nutrition assets and then conducting an auction to sell what it cant keep because of regulatory concerns it would become too dominant in some markets, one person said. Danone was weighing a joint bid with Mead Johnson Nutrition Co. (MJN), the people said then.
This deal makes huge strategic sense for Nestle, Andrew Wood, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, wrote today in a note to clients. It is in the right categories and the right markets and with a reasonable price we would expect a fairly positive reaction from investors.
The companies talks with Pfizer could still break down and a deal may not be reached.
Danone has told outsiders it is unlikely to win the auction and Nestle may be the final bidder, said a person familiar with the matter. Pfizer has continued to speak to Danone and is trying to keep them in the process as bids are evaluated, the person said. A third bidder that was in the running is no longer in the auction, the person said.
Pfizer, based in New York, also is planning an initial public offering for its animal-health unit and has hired JPMorgan Chase & Co., Bank of America Corp. and Morgan Stanley to handle that sale, one person said. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier yesterday on Pfizers plans.

WEDNESDAY, Feb. 15 (HealthDay News) -- Good dietary advice and supplements can boost nutrition while improving quality of life in malnourished cancer patients, a new study finds.
However, the interventions do not appear to affect survival for these patients, according to the findings published in the Feb. 15 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
For the study, Christine Baldwin, a lecturer in the nutritional sciences division at King's College London, and colleagues analyzed data from 13 clinical trials that included a total of more than 1,400 cancer patients who were malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. Some of the patients received oral nutritional support (dietary advice and/or supplements) while others received routine care.
Oral nutritional support had a wide range of effects on both weight and energy intake, and led to improvements in aspects of quality of life, such as emotional functioning, shortness of breath and loss of appetite. However, this type of intervention had no effect on patient death rates, the study authors noted in a journal news release.
The level of benefit varied between patients, and the authors concluded that "it is likely that the factors such as site and stage of disease and, indeed, variations in the duration, nature and intensity of the nutritional intervention will account for difference in effects in patients."
International guidelines have suggested oral nutritional intervention for malnourished cancer patients or those who are at nutritional risk, but these suggestions are based largely on expert opinion as opposed to clinical trials, according to background information in the study.
Commenting in an editorial accompanying the study, Ann O'Mara and Diane St. Germain of the U.S. National Cancer Institute wrote that "until future research provides clearer answers regarding who will benefit from nutritional interventions, the use of a comprehensive assessment, published nutritional guidelines and early interventions are essential."

Watch How I Take My Post Workout Supplements - Post Workout Nutrition - Video
In a first for Framingham State University, this springs commencement will revolve around a central theme: food, hunger and nutrition.
It just seemed to come together and make sense, school spokesman Dan Magazu said of the commencement planning committees new approach to the May 20 graduate and undergraduate ceremonies. Its obviously a relevant topic a lot of food banks across the country are seeing more requests than ever.
Catherine DAmato, this years undergraduate commencement speaker, is president and CEO of one of them, the Greater Boston Food Bank. New Englands largest hunger relief organization, the food bank distributes more than 31 million pounds of food and grocery products every year.
Its really a pretty amazing organization, Magazu said.
DAmato has led the charitable business for the past 17 years. Prior to that, she headed up the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts.
Im certain our students will be inspired by her story and her long-term dedication on behalf of the hungry, Framingham State President Timothy Flanagan said.
While Framingham State students infrequently work directly with the Boston-based food bank, many volunteer at the United Way of Tri-Countys new Pearl Street Cupboard & Cafe pantry, which gets many of its food stock and supplies from the organization.
Paul Mina, president of the United Way of Tri-County, is to receive one of two Citizen Laureate Awards that Framingham State will award at the commencement. The other will be given to Katie Millett, executive director of the Office for Nutrition, Health and Safety Programs within the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
The school will also confer an honorary doctor of humane letters degree to Farm Aid, a Cambridge-based nonprofit that helps farmers stay on their land. The organizations executive director, Carolyn Mugar, will accept the degree at the ceremony.
Patricia Luoto, FSUs food and nutrition professor and director of the schools John C. Stalker Institute of Food and Nutrition, will serve as speaker at the graduate commencement.

Estimates have been rising for Mead Johnson Nutrition Company (MJN) after the company delivered its 6th consecutive positive earnings surprise. It is a Zacks #2 Rank (Buy) stock.
Based on consensus estimates, analysts project strong double-digit earnings growth over the next couple years as the company continues to grow in the emerging markets.
On top of this growth, it pays a dividend that yields a solid 1.5%.
Company Description
Mead Johnson manufactures and distributes pediatric nutrition products primarily under its 'Enfa' family of brands. The Enfa brand, including Enfamil infant formula, is a global brand franchise in pediatric nutrition.
The company was founded in 1905 and is headquartered in Glenview, Illinois. It was spun-off from Bristol-Meyers Squibb (BMY) in 2009.
First Quarter Results
Mead Johnson Nutrition delivered strong first quarter results on April 26. Adjusted earnings per share came in at 82 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 78 cents. It was an 8% increase over the same quarter last year.
Net sales rose 9% to $986.6 million, ahead of the consensus of $980.0 million. This was driven by a 5% increase in volume and a 4% increase in prices. Growth was particularly strong in the Asia/Latin America segment, which offset weakness in the North America/Europe segment.
The gross margin did decline 230 basis points year-over-year. But operating income was up 12% over the same period to $222.6 million.

With nutrition facts now available for Dining Services daily menus a health initiative thats new this semester its easier than ever for campus diners to choose which food items to stock up on and which to leave behind.
Before classes began, Kent State executive chefs compiled nutrition facts for the menus that change daily at Eastway Cafe and Kent Market, and the facts are listed at those locations, said Dining Services director Richard Roldan. Nutrition facts for more locations and items that are served every day are available on the Dining Services website.
We talk about nutrition and people wanting to understand what they eat, Roldan said. So for us it was important that everything was out there and the information was available.
On average, students gain three to 10 pounds during their first two years of college, and most students gain that weight during their first semester, said nutrition outreach coordinator Tanya Falcone.
There is a misconception that eating healthy on campus is impossible, she said, but with the facts, students have more choices than they might realize.
1. Keep meals at a maximum of 500 calories and 15 grams of fat. This is based on the 2,000 calorie diet that plans for three meals and two smaller snacks.
2. Split meals that have larger amounts of calories and grams of fat with a friend or eat half and save the rest for later.
3. Look for items that are grilled instead of fried.
4. Eat healthy foods during a craving. For example, instead of eating three pieces of pizza, have one piece and a salad.

Because of its unique nutritional offerings and broad appeal, ice cream like products are a natural fit for added nutrition lacking in the diets of many consumers today. This concept grew and was intentionally developed over the last several years to not only taste good, but also to provide a source of complete and balanced nutrition for those individuals needing a calorie dense food. Pharmacist developed, Thrive Frozen Nutrition has as much protein as an egg, as much calcium as a cup of milk, and as much potassium as a banana. Each cup is packed with 250 calories, 9g protein (18% dv), 3g fiber (12% dv), 520mg potassium (15% dv), 4 live strains of essential probiotics, and 24 vitamins & minerals. (www.thrive4nutrition.com)

Parents Failing To Make Informed Decision About Right Nutrition For Children
By Wan Shahara Ahmad Ghazali
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 4 (Bernama) -- A child needs proper nutrition for a healthy and adequate development as well as strong physical growth.
A child's normal development and physical growth are crucial, particularly during infancy and up to the time he or she is around seven years old.
Hence, healthy nutrition is vital for a growing child and parents should ensure that they play an instrumental role in this aspect.
A recent study indicates that in the bid to ensure that their child gets all the essential nutrients, young mothers resort to using formula milk or growing up milk (GUM) for meeting the nutritional needs of their infants.
STUDY INDICATORS
The Nutrition Society of Malaysia (NSM), in collaboration with Abbott Nutrition, carried out a recent study, which included 300 mothers who have children below three years of age.
The study shows that several factors influence a young mothers' choice of GUM.

Parents Failing To Make Informed Decision About Right Nutrition For Children
It takes money to make money. Most investors know that, but with business media so focused on the "how much," very few investors bother to ask, "How fast?"
When judging a company's prospects, how quickly it turns cash outflows into cash inflows can be just as important as how much profit it's booking in the accounting fantasy world we call "earnings." This is one of the first metrics I check when I'm hunting for the market's best stocks. Today, we'll see how it applies to Schiff Nutrition International (NYSE: SHF) .
Let's break this downIn this series, we measure how swiftly a company turns cash into goods or services and back into cash. We'll use a quick, relatively foolproof tool known as the cash conversion cycle, or CCC for short.
Why does the CCC matter? The less time it takes a firm to convert outgoing cash into incoming cash, the more powerful and flexible its profit engine is. The less money tied up in inventory and accounts receivable, the more available to grow the company, pay investors, or both.
To calculate the cash conversion cycle, add days inventory outstanding to days sales outstanding, then subtract days payable outstanding. Like golf, the lower your score here, the better. The CCC figure for Schiff Nutrition International for the trailing 12 months is 91.4.
For younger, fast-growth companies, the CCC can give you valuable insight into the sustainability of that growth. A company that's taking longer to make cash may need to tap financing to keep its momentum. For older, mature companies, the CCC can tell you how well the company is managed. Firms that begin to lose control of the CCC may be losing their clout with their suppliers (who might be demanding stricter payment terms) and customers (who might be demanding more generous terms). This can sometimes be an important signal of future distress -- one most investors are likely to miss.
In this series, I'm most interested in comparing a company's CCC to its prior performance. Here's where I believe all investors need to become trend-watchers. Sure, there may be legitimate reasons for an increase in the CCC, but all things being equal, I want to see this number stay steady or move downward over time.

Because of the seasonality in some businesses, the CCC for the TTM period may not be strictly comparable to the fiscal-year periods shown in the chart. Even the steadiest-looking businesses on an annual basis will experience some quarterly fluctuations in the CCC. To get an understanding of the usual ebb and flow at Schiff Nutrition International, consult the quarterly-period chart below.
