Globally millions of people are affected by cardiac diseases. Myocardial ischemia is one of the serious cardiac related disorders. Myocardial Infarction (MI) accounts for majority of cardiac deaths and disabilities. 2 In spite of the availability of the drugs for the treatment of cardiac diseases, they have posed a big challenge for their treatment. The use of complementary and alternative medicines is burgeoning globally for MI 3 . Isoproterenol (ISP), a synthetic catecholamine and a-adrenergic agonist that causes severe stress in myocardium and infarct-like necrosis of the heart muscles. ISP induced myocardial injury involves membrane permeability alterations, which brings about the loss of functions and integrity of myocardial membranes. ISP induced myocardial necrosis is a well known standard model to study the beneficial effect of many drugs on cardiac dysfunction. The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the cardioprotective activity of protein powder supplemented with grape seed extract and co enzyme Q10 in isoprenaline-induced cardiac damage in rats and to understand the molecular mechanism of its therapeutic effect with reference to cardiac markers and lipid profiles.

Advancing adult age is associated with profound changes in body composition, the principal component of which is decrease in skeletal muscle mass. This age related loss in skeletal muscle mass has been referred to as Sarcopenia. Cross sectional studies on muscle strength indicated that isometric and concentric strength levels peak between 2 nd and 3 rd decade of life, remain unchanged until the 4 th and 5 th decade and start to decline from about 5 th decade at a rate of 12 to15 per cent per decade. However, concentric strength levels in women tend to peak sooner, start to decline earlier and decrease at a slightly slower rate than men. Age and inactivity induced sarcopenia explain losses in strength with age. Sarcopenia is not the result of a disease and it is seen in all aged adults. Sarcopenia markedly increases the risk of disability and loss of functional capacity in the elderly. As populations in developed countries continue to age, diagnosing, treating, and preventing sarcopenia will be progressively more important to the health and well-being of modern societies.References

This study collected data on food workers' self-reported food safety practices and beliefs about factors that impacted their ability to prepare food safely. The workers (Manager, Head-cook, Assistantcook, Waiters, dishwashers, Sweepers and people on counter) of 12 sweet shops were interviewed regarding cleaning and hygiene practices followed by them. Only in one sweet shop, one food handler had received formal training in food hygiene. All the workers washed their hands prior to handling the materials. In 17 per cent of sweet shops, plain water was used, 67 per cent of shops used soap and water and 17 per cent used polythene or plastic bags as hand gloves. Plain water, soap or detergent was used by all the workers for washing the cooking and serving utensils. Almost all the shop keepers used a disinfectant for cleaning purposes. For washing the floors, plain water and mop was used in 50 per cent of shops, surf and wet cloth was used in 50 per cent shops. Floor was cleaned once in 67 per cent of shops while twice and thrice a day in 17 per cent and 17 per cent of shops, respectively. Fly trappers were used in 42 per cent of shops. Wiping cloths were reused next day in all the shops after washing with soap and water in 83 per cent of shops and 17 per cent of shops used detergent. For the floor, disinfectants were used by all the workers once in 2-3 days. 83 per cent shops had deep freezers and 17 per cent did not have. 67 per cent of workers had knowledge regarding the freezer temperature for storage of sweets. Results suggest that food safety programs need to address the full range of factors that impact food preparation behaviours.Keywords

Protein in the diet is a strong determinant of satiety. The study was conducted on 61 adult women to determine the role of high protein diet in imparting satiety in a weight reducing regimen of three months period. The high protein (HP) diets were more satiety providing as compared to normal protein (NP) diets with average score ranged between 5-7. A significantly (p = 0.05) higher compliance was observed in high protein and exercise (HP+E). The study concluded that group when compared to HP group for breakfast, mid morning and evening tea while compliance for early morning and dinner was significantly (p = 0.05) higher in HP group. NP group had significantly (p = 0.05) lower compliance for four meals i.e. early morning, breakfast, mid morning and post dinner as compared to HP and HP+E group. The study concluded that the satiety scores and compliance of designed high protein diets were higher than the normal protein diet for most of the meals. Therefore, high protein hypocaloric diet is a better approach in weight loss regimen as it imparts more satiety and has better compliance.Keywords

The combination of a healthy weight, prudent diet and daily physical activity clearly plays a role in primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of chronic diseases. Occupational level greatly influences the physical activity which in turn has significant effect on body composition. The present scenario of high prevalence of life style diseases is a serious threat to health and wellbeing of Punjabi community, the males being more prone due to their genetic pre-disposition. The study was conducted to determine the food and nutrient intake of adult males engaged in varied occupations. Thirty adult male subjects in the age group of 40 to 50 years from each category i.e. field workers, laboratory workers and office workers were selected from Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. The consumption of pulses, green leafy vegetables and other vegetables and fruits were inadequate while cereals, milk and milk products and fats and oils and sugars were adequate in all the three groups. Diets were inadequate for energy, protein but adequate for fat in all the three categories. The contribution of fats to total energy was higher i.e. more than 20 per cent in case of lab workers and office workers which was undesirable as it may lead to obesity and other degenerative disorders. Thiamine was found to be adequate while rest of the five vitamins namely niacin, folic acid, vitamin B12 and vitamin C were inadequate in all the three groups. Iron intake was adequate in field workers but marginally inadequate in lab and office workers while calcium was inadequate in field workers. Excess consumption of food especially in the form of cereals, pulses, sugar, fats and oils resulted in gaining total body weight which may result in increased risk of degenerative diseases. Hence, it is recommended that people must be educated to consume adequate diet so as to achieve desirable body weights.Keywords

Legumes have long been a part of traditional diets in Asia, Africa and South America, which includes most of the world's developing countries. Like other legumes, cowpea is a good source of energy, protein, vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre. Harvested dry grains are commonly consumed. The tender pods of cowpea are valued as vegetable as such or as an ingredient in many food preparations.- Assessment of Nutritional Status of 1-5 Year Old Children Belonging to Farm Families of Punjab

Early childhood malnutrition can have lasting effects on growth and functional status. The inadequate energy and protein intake leads to malnutrition in the form of wasting, stunting and underweight. The prevalence of Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) in Asia is highest in the world. The surveillance of large population of the region imply that more than half of all malnourished children in the world are found in this region.- Food and Nutrient Intake in Relation to Cardiovascular Diseases among Rural Males of Punjab, India

World Health Organization (WHO) predicts that Indians will have 100 million or 60 per cent of the world's heart patients by 2010. Punjab is one of the prosperous states in India with a high per capita inconne and lifestyles similar to that of industrialized western population. A significant section ie 3.4 per cent of the total rural population of Punjab has been reported to be suffering from cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Punjab is undergoing an epidemiological transition. It is on the threshold of an epidemic of cardiovascular disease. The high prevalence of CVD causes an immense loss in terms of productivity, morbidity and mortality.- Regional Disparity Analysis for Dietary Diversity and Food and Nutrient Adequacy of School-Going Children from Punjab, India

Objectives: To assess food and nutrient intake and dietary diversity among school children (11-17y) from three regions of Punjab, India.
Methods: A survey was conducted to assess food and nutrient intake and dietary diversity among one thousand and fifty school children (11-17y) selected from urban and rural government schools of three regions of Punjab, namely, Majha (n=210), Doaba (n=210) and Malwa (n=630) using thirty-cluster multistage sampling technique. For multiple comparisons between regions, analysis of variance followed by Tukey's post-hoc test was applied.
Findings: The diets of the selected school-going children were predominantly composed of ischolar_mains and tubers followed by Pulses, Cereal and Millets and Sugar; moderate amount of Fats and Oils and Vegetables and highly inadequate quantity of Green leafy Vegetables, Milk and Milk products, Fruits, Meat and Poultry. Further, the diets of children were inadequate in energy, Protein, Fat, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B12, Folic acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron and Zinc. The overall mean household dietary diversity and food variety scores of the children from Punjab were 5.8 out of 12 and 19.3 out of 44, respectively, which indicated that their diets had poor diversity. Mean food variety scores of the children from Malwa region were significantly (p ≤ 0.01) higher in comparison to that of Majha and Doaba region; whereas, no regional disparity was seen in the mean household dietary diversity scores. Irrespective of region, it was inferred that all the subjects had poor nutrient adequacy with moderate dietary diversity.
Applications: The study highlights the points to ponder for policy makers in framing and strengthening health programs for better nutritional status of school going children from different regions of the state.

A cross-sectional study was conducted to study the relationship of food consumption frequency on eating behaviours (cognitive dietary restraint, uncontrolled eating and emotional eating) among women. Food consumption frequency score and eating behaviours were determined among one hundred professional women engaged in teaching (30-59 years old) across five colleges of Jalandhar city of Punjab. The older age groups i.e. 40 to 49 and 50 to 59 years reported significantly (p≤0.05) high scores of disinhibition whereas, young age group (30-39 years) reported high scores for cognitive dietary restraint. Uncontrolled eating had a positive and significant (p≤0.05, 0.01) correlation with consumption frequency of traditional snacks, western snacks, egg, meat and fish and eating out among the 30-39 years age group. While in the subjects aged 40-49 years, uncontrolled eating was significantly correlated (p≤0.10, 0.05) with higher consumption frequency of snacks while emotional eating was significantly (p≤0.10, 0.05) correlated with the higher consumption frequency of snacks, egg, meat and fish as well as frequency of eating out. Cognitive restraint was significantly (p≤0.10) correlated with lesser consumption frequency of snacks. In 50-59 years group, higher consumption frequency of snacks was significantly (p≤0.10) correlated with uncontrolled eating and emotional eating while higher frequency of eating out was significantly (p≤0.05) related to emotional eating. The study concluded that eating behaviours majorly influenced the food choices of adult professional women thus, may predispose them to subsequent weight gain and development of obesity.Keywords

Wheatgrass at young green stage is a powerhouse of nutrients and phytochemicals. Its various formulations are available in the form of extracts or powders used as health supplements. However, there is a huge potential of utilization for wheatgrass in the development of health foods for general good health as well as cure of disorders like metabolic syndrome, cancer, thalassemia, aneamia etc. With an aim to develop wheatgrass enriched health foods, the wheatgrass powder could be incorporated up to 10% in chapati and biscuits and up to 5% in bread without compromising the overall acceptability of the products. The free radical scavenging activity of chapati, biscuits and bread were increased significantly (p<0.05) at the optimized levels of enrichment of wheatgrass powder in these products. Food sprinkler enriched with 50% wheatgrass powder enhanced the free radical scavenging activity of the spices by 26% without affecting the sensory attributes of the product. Hence, these wheatgrass powder enriched health foods may possess health promoting properties owing to their high antioxidant activity.
