The author was a professionally trained mathematician, physicist and engineer. His view of health and medicine is similar to his past experience on designing a physical object such as a building structure or a working machine, which he calls an “object”. The object’s strength or its expected lifespan is similar to the health conditions and longevity of a human being based on the following three key factors: (1) The original strength of the object’s material which is similar to the genetic factors of a human body. Generally speaking, the genetic (not “epigenetic”) portion only contributes 15% to 30%, approximately 20% or less, of having various chronic diseases. (2) The quality of engineering design and construction or manufacturing of this object are similar to the fundamental influential causes, including lifestyle details, life-long bad habits, and environmental damaging factors on human health. Among the external causes, one category that has the most impact on health is food, particularly with processed foods causing the most damage. Therefore, he tries to exclude all kinds of processed foods from his own food category. (3) The object suffers from different operational problems due to external forces or impacts which are similar to various diseases affecting humans. After the object suffers from external forces or impacts such as an earthquake or hurricane, we must use some structural reinforcements to fix the problems or replace the malfunctioned parts of the machine. These engineering after-actions are similar to the medical “treatments” post-injury/infection provided to patients by doctors. The medical treatments include medication interventions (either oral drugs or biochemical injections), necessary surgeries or organ transplants, which are similar to the engineering repair of the damaged object. Nevertheless, all type of medical treatments bring some degree of traumatic effects on the human body. In addition, up to now, there are no medications which can cure chronic diseases induced by metabolic disorders. The different medications given to patients only suppress the symptoms of different chronic diseases and do not deal with the root causes. Therefore, they are not able to reverse, repair, or cure chronic diseases.

Among those external causes, if the author has to pick up one category which has the most influence above of all that is the “food”. (3) The object endures different operational problems due to external forces or impacts which are similar to various diseases suffered by humans. After the object experiences external forces or impacts, we use some structural reinforcements to fix the building’s damaged cracks or replace the malfunctioned part of the machine. These engineering actions are similar to the “medical treatments” doctors provide patients. The medical treatments, including medication interventions (oral drugs or biochemical injections), necessary surgeries, or certain organ transplants are similar to the engineering repair of the damaged object. This article emphasizes the relationship between causes and results such as symptoms of diseases. It particularly addresses the inter-relationship of 5 selected diseases: cancers, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), chronic kidney diseases (CKD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and type 2 diabetes (T2D), where the most important cause for most diseases is “food”. This food category in his study contains 25 defined elements include input data of food are collected via the developed iPhone APP. There are 5 elements for “Food Quantity”: breakfast amount, lunch amount, dinner amount, amount of between-meals snacks and fruits, and the average daily food consumption amount. In addition, there are 20 selected elements for “Food Quality” (see Figure 1). The combined Food score is the average value of both food quantity score and food quality score.

Expected Longevity

The author was a mathematician and an engineer. His view of longevity is similar to his past experience on designing and building a structure or a machine which he calls an “object”. The expected lifespan of an object is similar to the longevity of a human being based on the following three factors: (1) The availability of good and strong building materials that are similar to the genetic factors of a human body health conditions. (2) The engineering design and site construction of this object are similar to the lifestyle, life-long habits, and environmental factors which are related to the health of the human body. (3) The building’s damaged cracks or the machine’s malfunctioned parts under external forces are similar to the medical conditions and symptoms of disease in the human body. If the object suffers from operational problems due to external forces that is similar to the human body being affected by various diseases, then we can repair the object such as adopting the reinforcement of the building structural part or replacing the operational part of the machine. They are similar to the medical treatments including medication interventions, different surgeries, or organ transplants. Once the author understood the analogy and similarity between an engineering object and a human body, he can then distinguish the differences among genetic reason, lifestyle maintenance, disease control, and medical treatments. It is extremely difficult, almost impossible at present time, to change our genes because we cannot select our biological parents; however, we can focus on our daily lifestyle management to either prevent from having diseases or controlling the progression of existing diseases.

Elastic Simulation

Skinning, which is used in skeletal simulations to express the human body, has been weighted between bones to enable muscle-like motions. Weighting is not a form of calculating the pressure and density of muscle fibers in the human body. Therefore, it is not possible to express physical changes when external forces are applied. To express a similar behavior, an animator arbitrarily customizes the weight values. In this study, we apply the kernel and pressure-dependent density variations used in particle-based fluid simulations to skinning simulations. As a result, surface tension and elasticity between particles are applied to muscles, indicating realistic human motion. We also propose a tension yield condition that reflects Tresca’s yield condition, which can be easily approximated using the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the principal stress to simulate the tension limit of the muscle fiber. The density received by particles in the kernel is assumed to be the principal stress. The difference is calculated by approximating the moment of greatest force to the maximum principal stress and the moment of least force to the minimum principal stress. When the density of a particle increases beyond the yield condition, the object is no longer subjected to force. As a result, one can express realistic muscles.

Fruits are rich in minerals, which are essential for a wide variety of metabolic and physiologic processes in the human body. The use of frozen fruits has greatly spread in the last years not only in the preparation of juices, but also as raw material for yogurts, candies, cookies, cakes, ice creams, and children's food. However, up to now there is no data about the mineral profile of frozen fruits. This is the first database to quantify the levels of minerals in 23 samples of frozen fruits, including the most used around the world and some native fruits from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Considering the Dietary Reference Intakes, 100g of frozen fruits can provide 0.2 to 2.8% of macro and 2.5 to 100% of microminerals for adults (31-50 years old). Although geographical differences should be considered, these data can help to plan diets and to develop population interventions aiming to prevent chronic diseases.

Adaptive potential is an indicator of the level of adaptability of the human body to various and changing environmental factors. The adaptive capabilities of the body are influenced not only by external factors, but also by internal - the state of the body as a whole, by the presence or absence of chronic diseases. Therefore, the adaptive potential was used as an integral indicator of a person's adaptability to production factors. The aim of the study was to assess the adaptive capabilities of the organism of workers in greenhouse farms in the Voronezh region. The study was carried out at the enterprises of the closed ground of the region by the method of questioning, the objects of the study were 125 women aged 27-45 years. In most cases, there are violations of the adaptive capabilities of the organism among the studied workers of greenhouse farms, and even a breakdown in adaptation was revealed in 0.8%. In less than half of the cases, the adaptive potential of the greenhouses was within the normal. The adaptive reserves of the greenhouses workers decrease with age.

Poor nutrition can be both a cause, and a consequence, of multimorbidity. Assessing nutrition status is therefore a vital component in the management of people with multimorbidity. Suboptimal diet is a direct contributor to risk of ischaemic heart disease, cerebral ischaemic events, many cancers, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and other chronic diseases. Eating a diet based on processed foods throughout life increases the risk of these diseases and multiple nutrient deficiencies, including, for example, iron, vitamin B12, folate and calcium.

Abstract Objectives Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition characterized by an adverse response to gluten ingestion. While only 1% of the population must follow a gluten-free diet (e.g., those with celiac disease), gluten-free products are becoming increasingly prevalent in Canada, particularly among packaged products, which are largely processed or ultra-processed. Yet, excess consumption of processed and ultra-processed foods has been associated with poor diet quality, a risk factor for obesity and other non-communicable diseases. Objectives To examine whether the presence of gluten-free claims (GFC) on packaged food and beverage products was associated with level of processing. Methods Cross-sectional analysis of the University of Toronto Food Label Information Program 2017. GFC were identified by systematically reviewing the photographs of food labels (n = 17,267). Products were classified into 22 main food categories as determined by the Health Canada's Table of Reference Amounts for Foods. Using the NOVA food processing classification system, products were also classified into two groups: 1) Unprocessed or minimally processed and processed culinary ingredients; and 2) processed or ultra-processed. Proportions of products displaying GFC were calculated overall, by food category and by level of processing. Binomial logistic regression models examined the association of GFC with level of processing. Results Fifteen % of products displayed GFC. Categories displaying the largest proportion of GFC were snacks (32%), meat and poultry products (28%), and nuts and seeds (26%). The presence of GFC claim was associated with foods being processed or ultra-processed (β = 1.63, P < 0.001). In 8 of the 22 food categories, 100% of products displaying GFC were processed or ultra-processed, while more than 80% of foods displaying GFC in 17 of 22 categories were considered processed or ultra-processed. Conclusions About 1/6 of prepackaged foods and beverages displayed gluten-free claims in the Canadian Food supply. Most of them were considered processed and ultra-processed foods.

ABSTRACT Background American Indian (AI) have the highest rates of diet-related chronic diseases in the country. Yet, the relation between dietary patterns and chronic diseases in this population has not been well explored. Objective We aimed to characterize common dietary patterns among adults from 6 AI communities (N = 580) and assess their relation with BMI, percentage body fat, waist-to-hip ratio, hypertension, and self-reported type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Methods We conducted a baseline assessment of an obesity prevention study (N = 580). Dietary intake data were collected using a modified Block FFQ. Exploratory factor analysis was used to characterize dietary patterns. We used multivariate linear and logistic regression analyses to assess associations between dietary patterns and health outcomes, controlling for age, sex, employment status, smoking status, geographic region, and energy intake. Results Five dietary patterns, explaining 81.8% of variance in reported food consumption, were identified: “meat and fried foods,” “processed foods,” “fruits and vegetables,” “sugary snacks,” and “meat alternatives and high-protein foods.” “Those with higher consumption of “meat and fried foods” were associated with higher mean waist-to-hip ratio (0.03; 95% CI: 0.01, 0.04), higher mean BMI (2.45 kg/m2; 95% CI: 0.83, 4.07), and increased odds of being overweight or obese (OR: 2.63; 95% CI: 1.10, 6.31) compared to those with lower consumption of “meat and fried foods.” Higher consumption of “processed foods” was associated with increased odds of self-reported type 2 diabetes (OR: 3.41; 95% CI: 1.31, 8.90). No protective effect of consumption of “fruits and vegetables” was observed, although average consumption was below national recommendation levels. Conclusions AI dietary patterns corroborate nutritional concerns previously reported among AI populations. Future interventions should discourage overconsumption of meat, fried foods, and processed foods, and promote consumption of fruits and vegetables to reduce chronic disease burden in this population.
