Excess Glucose

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder in which the body is unable to make proper utilisation of glucose, resulting in the condition of hyperglycaemia. Excess glucose in the blood ultimately results in high levels of glucose being present in the urine (glycosuria). This increase the urine output, which leads to dehydration and increase thirst. India has the largest diabetic population in the world. Changes in eating habits, increasing weight and decreased physical activity are major factors leading to increased incidence of Diabetes. Lifestyle plays an important role in the development of Diabetes. Yoga offers natural and effective remedies without toxic side-effects, and with benefits that extend far beyond the physical. This system of Yoga is a simple, natural programme involving five main principles: proper exercise, proper breathing, proper relaxation, proper diet and positive thinking and meditation. It is a cost effective lifestyle intervention technique.

<p><em>Obesity is a state of abnormal or excessive fat accumulation in the adipose tissue of the body that could potentially cause the health problems. The prevalence of obesity increases every year in Indonesia. Based on the Basic Health Research (RisKesDas) 2018, Indonesian obesity incidences ranked 18, 8% in 2007, increased to 26, 6% in 2013 and topping 31, 0% in 2018. The increase of obesity prevalence is directly proportional to comorbid conditions. Insulin insensitivity is seen in obese patients, and may lead to insulin resistance. This correlates with a disrupted glucose absorption rate, which is induced by insulin. Glucose molecules could not enter the cell and could not be utilized by the cells, as a result there is an n increase in blood glucose levels. Conditions with abnormally high glucose levels is called hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia can lead into a variety chronic diseases, like diabetes mellitus. One of the straightforward, cost-effective and efficacious therapy strategies that can be executed to overcome obesity and increase the insulin sensitivity is through increased physical activity. Categories of physical activity are divided between sedentary, light, moderate, vigorous, and high, where each category has varying energy demands. Physical activity that is carried out consistently and routinely may further reduce body weight, as well as maintain proportional body weight in the long run and further increase insulin sensitivity, and reduce the risk chronic disease like diabetes mellitus.</em></p>

AbstractIn recent years have seen increasing percentage of the elderly in the overall population. This has driven the attention to the lifestyle factors that influence the health and quality of life of this social group, including their nutrition and physical activity. Universities of the Third Age (U3A) are a valuable platform for the dissemination and broadening of the knowledge related to these topics. The nutritional habits of 61 U3A students in Poznań were evaluated on the basis of a modified KomPAN questionnaire. Their nutritional status was determined using the body mass index (BMI) and waist to hip ratio (WHR) indices. Nearly half of the respondents were overweight and 16% had first degree obesity. The WHR index in women was on average 0.8, while in men it was 1.01. Only 13% of the students declared regular eating, with 60% consuming 4-5 meals a day. Women were found to eat snacks between meals more often than men. It was also found that the majority of the elderly do not add salt to ready meals or sweeten beverages with sugars. Taking into account the observed nutritional problems and the occurrence of improper eating habits of the elderly, it is recommended to continue the education on the prevention of common diet-related diseased.

ResumenLas experiencias que tienen jóvenes deportistas a lo largo de su trayectoria deportiva y educativa van dando sentido y significado al modo en cómo éstos, como futuros profesionales del campo de las ciencias de la actividad física y el deporte, van construyendo diferentes concepciones de la motricidad humana. Desde el enfoque de la investigación biográfica narrativa profundizamos en el relato de Glissade, alumna en formación inicial que ha desarrollado su trayectoria deportiva en el mundo de la Gimnasia Rítmica. El objetivo de este trabajo es indagar en algunas de las representaciones del modelo corporal y los aspectos emocionales-relacionales que constituyen la identidad deportiva de esta mujer y cómo ello está presente en su formación inicial. El relato de Glissade nos acerca a dos cuestiones: las tensiones entre su cuerpo de mujer y las exigencias del deporte que practica, ambos sujetos a cánones tradicionales sobre lo bello/estético y los aprendizajes emocionales que están presentes en su práctica deportiva. Este trabajo evidencia la importancia de visibilizar y conocer la experiencia de las personas desde su propia voz, ya que ello permite reflexionar sobre creencias, pensamientos y modelos que persisten en los procesos de formación inicial de futuros profesionales de la educación física y el deporte.AbstractThe experiences that young sportsmen and women have throughout their sporting and educational careers are giving meaning and significance to the way in how they, as future professionals in the field of physical activity and sports sciences, are building different conceptions of human motricity. From the focus of biographical narrative research, we delved into the story of Glissade, a student in initial training who has developed her sports career in the world of Rhythmic Gymnastics. The aim of this work is to investigate the representations of the body model and the emotional-relational aspects that constitute the sports identity of this woman and how this is present in her initial training. Glissade´s story brings us closer to two questions: the tensions between her body as a woman and the demands of a sport she plays, both are subject to traditional canons of beauty/aesthetics and the emotional learnings that are present in their sports practice. This work shows the importance of making visible and knowing the experience of people from their own voice, since this allows reflection on beliefs, thoughts and models that persist in the processes of initial training of future professionals in physical education and sport.

Visual culture affects the way people understand the world and themselves, contributing to the creation of certain roles and stereotypes, some of which are related to body image. This study focused on interrogating future physical education teachers’ beliefs about the body and physical activity to understand the construction of bodily subjectivities and their perceptions of how these are influenced by visual (physical) culture. Data were collected through the use of visual methods consisting of photo-elicitation and individual interviews with 23 students from a Primary Education Degree with a specialization in physical education at a Spanish university. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis. The results of the study show that these future physical education teachers are aware of both the great influence of gender stereotypes and the values of consumerism in the field of physical activity stemming largely from the media, which inevitably will shape their future professional practice. However, the results also highlight how these future physical education teachers consider and position the subject of physical education as an important space where they could help students problematize and challenge these beliefs. We suggest that a focus on visual (physical) literacy is needed for future physical education teachers (and their students) to understand the world from a socially critical perspective and transform it in the interest of equity and social justice.

There is an urgent need to improve life after stroke across the world—especially in low-income countries—through methods that are effective, equitable and sustainable. This paper highlights physical activity (PA) as a prime candidate for implementation. PA reduces modifiable risk factors for first and recurrent stroke and improves function and activity during rehabilitation and following discharge. Preliminary evidence also indicates PA is cost-effective. This compelling evidence urgently needs to be translated into seamless pathways to enable stroke survivors across the world to engage in a more active lifestyle. Although more quality research is needed—particularly on how to optimize uptake and maintenance of PA—this should not delay implementation of high-quality evidence already available. This paper shares examples of best practice service models from low-, middle-, and high-income countries around the world. The authors call for a concerted effort to implement high-quality PA services to improve life after stroke for all.

ABSTRACT Diabetes mellitus is a serious and growing health care problem, globally. The ‘westernization’ of diets around the world has led to an increase in obesity. Other contributing factors such as smoking, lack of physical activity and aging has led to epidemiological concerns regarding the link between diabetes and cancer. Research evidence suggests that patients with diabetes may be at greater risk for the development of some forms of cancer. The patient being discussed in this case report presented to New York University College of Dentistry (NYUCD), with a history that included type 2 diabetes mellitus, seeking comprehensive dental care. During the interim between his initial exam and following appointment, a lesion had developed on the palate, which was subsequently diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. This prompted the review of current literature, regarding the link between diabetes and the development of various cancers. How to cite this article Markey SM, Congiusta MA.

Physical activity is one of the most important element of a healthy lifestyle and determinant of the physical and mental health. According to the WHO, limited physical activity is the fourth most common premature deaths risk factor in the world. Regular sport and active recreation is very important for our health. Physical exercise is the most effective method used by physiotherapists to prevent and slow down the aging process of the body, and consequently, diseases of elderly, such as: osteoporosis, injuries caused by falls, diabetes or hypertension. Physical activity has a positive effect on the quality of life and cognitive functions of elderly. People over 65 years constitute about 40-50% of people who require specialist medical care in the world. Therefore, health and medical professionals dealing with preventive healthcare and treatment of elderly people should have basic knowledge in geriatric rehabilitation, as well as to be able to plan suitable physiotherapy program adequate to the needs of older people. To assess the functional status of the patient, as well as the effectiveness of the training, various types of functional tests are used, specially designed for the elderly. These tests are based on the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (COG) considering the state of health, physical and mental fitness as well as socio-environmental conditions. The physiotherapeutic program should be based on functional training involving the entire human body, i.e. nervous, muscular, skeletal, sensory and balance systems.

Diagnostic Criterion

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is rising at an epidemic scale throughout the world. Up to a certain moment, DM2 develops as a latent pathology which accounts for its late diagnosis and onset of therapy. Hence, the high frequency of vascular complications, early disablement and mortality. Therefore, the improvement of screening studies is of primary importance for the detection of metabolic disorders. At present, HbA1c determination is the most informative and cost-effective tool for the purpose. The choice of the method for measuring HbA1c is a paramount consideration. It must be standardized against a reference technique (high performance liquid chromatography) in conformity with the results of DCCT and UKPDS studies

The Relationship

According to the World Health Organization in 2010, overweight and obesity are the fifth risk factors of the cause of death in the world. Obesity is influenced by the level of physical activity and it could cause a disturbance in dynamic balance and induce sleep disorder known as sleep apnea. Meanwhile, the lack of physical activity also affects the dynamic balance that can increase the risk of fall injury during the dynamic physical activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among body mass index, physical activity, the dynamic balance, and sleep patterns. The subjects of this study were 72 young adults aged 20 years in average, consisted of 47 males and 25 females. The body mass index was undertaken by dividing the body weight (kg) and height in meter square (m2). The level of physical activity was performed by using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Meanwhile, the dynamic balance was measured by using the modified Bass test; while sleep patterns was measured by using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. This study found that there was a significant association between BMI and dynamic balance with p value = 0.006 (p 0.05); whereas physical activity was not significantly associated to the dynamic balance (p0.05). Meanwhile, body mass index and physical activity were not significantly associated to sleep patterns (p 0.05). This study concludes that body mass index has a significant association to dynamic balance. Meanwhile, dynamic balance is highly needed in carrying out dynamic physical activity to avoid fall injury.
