Abstract. Healthy eating practices, especially those based on food pyramid, should be vividly followed in our daily diet. The food pyramid guide contains four main groups of food which are arranged accordingly to the quantity of nutrition recommended by the health expertise of the balanced, healthy and correct nutritional features. One of the most vital part of the food pyramid is green vegetables and fruits. They are a the second level of the aforementioned food group that is rich in vitamins, minerals and fibre. Implicitly, this healthy eating image was also transmitted into the creation of proverbs for example in Tamil proverbs. Healthy food images have been detected in the Tamil data collection  collected through deep interviews with four Indian informants. A total of five Tamil proverbs have been screened using sampling mode, which is aimed to have the images of green vegetables and fruits such as “eggplant”, “cassava”, “water pumpkin” and more. They were detected in a total of 25 Tamil proverbs obtained from the informants. Further to that, this study will examine the implicit meaning of these proverbs using an incredibly inquisitive approach by Nor Hashimah Jalaluddin (2014) by associating the data, theory, cognitive and intellect of the speakers. With such information, researchers are able to look at the language, society and thoughts of the speaker.Keywords: Tamil proverbs, healthy eating habit, vegetables and fruits, linguistics, inquisitive semantics, the minds of the speaker Abstrak. Amalan pemakanan sihat khususnya yang berpandukan piramid makanan seharusnya diikuti dalam aktiviti pemakanan seharian kita. Melalui panduan piramid makanan ini mengandungi empat jenis atau kumpulan makanan yang disusun mengikut tingkat atau aras berdasarkan jumlah dan kuantiti pemakanan yang disyorkan oleh pihak kesihatan seluruh dunia bagi memenuhi ciri - ciri pemakanan yang seimbang, sihat dan betul. Salah-satunya ialah sayur-sayuran hijau dan buah-buahan yang berada pada aras dua sebagai kumpulan makanan yang kaya dengan zat vitamin, mineral dan serat.

AbstractBackgroundPakistan dietary guidelines for better nutrition were developed to cater the local need and prevent nutritional deficiency by providing information to public about healthy eating practices.AimsTo assess the level of adherence to Pakistan Dietary Guidelines for Better Nutrition (PDGN)MethodsIt was a community based study conducted in five cities with two stage stratified sampling approach. Total of 448 participants were interviewed using Food frequency questionnaire adapted to local context. Five food groups (proteins, cereals, dairy, vegetables and fruits) were taken as per country guidelines. A score point of 1 was given to each food group making a total of 5 scores. Data were analyzed using SPSS.ResultsOverall adherence to PDGN was poor as none of the participants had 05 score while only 1% achieved score 04. However, adherence was more in females (B = 0.45, 95%CI = 0.24; 0.66), graduates (B = 0.45, 95% CI = 0.25; 0.64), unmarried (B = 0.30, 95% CI = 0.18; 0.43), unemployed (B = 0.22, 95% CI = 0.01-0.43) and aged >50 years (B = 0.34, 95% CI = 0.08; 0.60) as compared to others. Among food groups, mean intake of cereals (carbohydrates) was high (3.38±1.39) followed by other items with fruits was least (0.76±0.91). Overall, at least one serving of discretionary food was taken by participants which was more female gender (p= 0.001), graduates (p= 0.003), high socio-economic group (p=0.001) and employed persons (p= 0.04).ConclusionThe adherence to PDGN was poor and there is a need to bring behavior change by information education and communication to the society.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the social representations of healthy eating and to analyze the relationships established with health. Method: an exploratory and descriptive study, with qualitative approach that applied the Social Representations Theory. A semistructured interview was conducted with 31 adolescent students, aged 10 to 13 years, from a municipal school in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) from September to November 2013. The Alceste software was used to analyze the two classes of greater statistical significance. Results: adolescents choose foods with higher fat content, with faster preparation time and more sugar. They care about health, but they prioritize pleasure and taste. They establish a relationship between diet, body weight and health, understanding that fat people are more prone to diseases. Conclusion: healthy eating is conceptualized by what adolescents consider good or bad for their health, but this evaluation is not directly related to their eating practices. The contradictions between knowledge and practice are evidenced in order to guide propositional interventions with this population group.

The article deals with the modelling of demand for the food group of milk and milk products and the food group of meat, meat products, eggs and fish using the Marshallian demand functions for the individual income quartils of Slovak households. The criterium for the foodstuff groups selection is their position in the Healthy Eating Pyramid which is one of the recommended optimal food basket forms. We suppose that the significant income differentiation of households will manifest as different consumer behaviour in the food market. The analysis confirms this hypothesis.

Hmong are one of the immigrant Asian subgroups with increasing rates of obesity, type 2 diabetes and CVD. Despite their population growth in the USA and declining health status, no research has investigated the appropriateness of dietary assessment measures, including FFQ and 24 h dietary recalls among Hmong. The present study compared the nutrient information obtained through a 24 h dietary recall method with that collected using the Block Kid's Food Frequency Questionnaire (Block FFQ) among Hmong-American children (n 335) of 9–18 years of age. For this purpose, two 24 h dietary recalls were collected during non-consecutive days and averaged for comparison. The Block FFQ was administered on the day of the second 24 h recall and the two methodologies were also compared using t tests. Among all children, Block FFQ nutrient estimates for vitamin A, vitamin C and food group servings for vegetables and fruits were significantly higher than those assessed through the 24 h dietary recalls (P< 0·001). Nutrient estimates for protein and food group servings for grains and meat and beans were significantly higher among all participants when assessed through the 24 h dietary recalls than through the Block FFQ (P< 0·05). The results suggest that the Block FFQ does not appear to be a good measure of protein, grain, and meat and bean intake among Hmong children of 9–18 years of age, and the 24 h dietary recall offers a better account of the Hmong diet and is inclusive of ethnic food options otherwise missed in the Block FFQ. We recommend the modification of the current Block FFQ to appropriately reflect cultural food/beverage items of the population in interest.

AbstractObjective:The study aimed to assess the impact of a game-based nutritional intervention on food consumption, nutritional knowledge and self-efficacy in the adoption of healthy eating practices.Design:This cluster randomised controlled trial included both male and female high school students from private schools in the Federal District, Brazil. Four schools were randomly selected for each group. Investigated variables were age, sex, monthly family income, maternal education level, dietary perceptions and practices, nutritional knowledge and self-efficacy in the adoption of healthy eating practices.Setting:Intervention group participants were instructed to play Rango Cards, a digital game developed for the study, on their own, for a period of 7–17 d, while the control group was not provided with any game or material during the study.Participants:The study included 319 adolescents (mean age = 15·8 (sd 0·7) years).Results:Significant reductions were observed in the intervention group compared with the control group for the following variables: habit of eating while watching TV or studying and having meals at fast food restaurants. The intervention group showed increased knowledge of the effects of fruit and vegetable consumption as well as improved self-efficacy in the adoption of healthy eating practices such as reducing Na intake and preparing healthy meals.Conclusions:The design of Rango Cards is potentially capable of effecting positive changes. Therefore, the digital game promotes autonomy and self-care among adolescents with regard to healthy eating.

The Impact

Based on two mixed-methods studies conducted with first and second generation Latinas in New York City (NYC), this article questions simplistic notions of acculturation by stressing the impact of structural conditions (at the individual, social and physical levels) in determining Latinas’ food practices in the United States (U.S.). The term “nostalgic inequality” is used here to argue that Latinas’ retention of, and adaptation to, their traditional staples (i.e., nostalgic foods) tends to favor affordable and fat-saturated items (e.g., fried and processed foods) that through time contribute to higher rates of obesity and cardiovascular disease, among other deleterious health conditions. In the end, this review is aimed at raising awareness about the barriers to healthy eating experienced by disadvantaged minority groups in the U.S. urban milieu.
