Chrono-nutrition - an emerging, modifiable risk factor for chronic disease?
Studies on the impact of when we eat on metabolic health, also called chrono-nutrition, are on the rise in the past few years. Chrono-nutrition is very relevant as our temporal dietary patterns are changing. Changes in temporal eating patterns could be due to a rise in people working in shifts, people consuming more meals outside the home and overall eating patterns having become more irregular, including more breakfast skipping and night-time eating. Temporal eating patterns are a possible modifiable risk factor for cardio-metabolic diseases.Many of the metabolic processes in our body follow a 24hour pattern, also called ...

Information and information challenges
In collaboration with International Food Information Service (IFIS).In today ’s information landscape, finding information can feel, superficially, extremely easy. Billions of research articles are published electronically. Multiple tools are available to search for them. But finding high-quality information can be surprisingly hard.Being adept at finding quality, relevant, scientific literature is therefore a fundamentally important skill in nutritional science. Scientific literature is a main vehicle for researchers to disseminate, to share with the global community of nutritionists and nutrition students, thei...

Personalised Nutrition: What's the latest?
Each of us differs from others in obvious physical attributes such as gender, age and body size but also in respect of our individual responses to foods and nutrients. Until recently, those setting dietary requirements have addressed this problem of inter-individual variability by taking a probabilistic approach and e.g. estimating the amounts of energy and nutrients that will meet the needs of 97.5% of the population (Reference Nutrient Intakes).With today ’s focus on personalised, or precision, nutrition the ambition is to harness understanding of the factors that contribute to inter-individual variation in responses t...

Methodological considerations for studies in sport and exercise nutrition with women as participants
Data on eumenorrheic females is scarce and is often low to moderate quality, which is due to a number of reasons: (i) there is a shortage of specialist knowledge on female physiology, in particular endocrinology, in the sport and nutrition science community; (ii) until recently, there has been a reluctance to include female participants in research studies, due to the numerous adaptations, to experimental design, needed to incorporate female specific considerations, such as the menstrual cycle; (iii) there is no consensus on the terminology and methodological approaches needed to produce high-quality studies. These issue...

Menopause and dietary implications
Menopause, defined as the complete cessation of menstrual periods, marks the end of the female reproductive life. With ageing of the population, it is estimated that 1.2 billion women around the world will be menopausal by the year 2030. Menopausal transition could be an opportunity to encourage dietary changes. Diet of premenopausal women differs to that of postmenopausal women, reflecting improved adherence to dietary guidelines in the latter. However, a healthy diet during the premenopausal years is also recommended, as diet may potentially influence the timing of menopause as well as the presence of menopausal symptoms...

The latest on low carbohydrate diets for sports performance
Join Professor Louise Burke as she discusses the effects of a ketogenic low carb high fat (LCHF) diet on the performance of endurance sports in elite and high performance athletes. The webinar will cover various aspects of physiology and the impact of LCHF, including:The interplay between high aerobic capacity and good economy (a low oxygen cost to produce a given power output or speed) in high performance athletes.Muscle capacity for fat oxidation across a range of exercise intensities, and adaptation capabilities.Metabolic cost of a switch to greater fat metabolism by the muscles and the impact on exercise economy.Speed ...

Insulin resistance and dysregulation in the horse: potential role of diet and exercise
Equine obesity is increasingly being recognised as a globally important welfare issue due to a variety of associated adverse consequences including orthopaedic disease, hyperlipaemia, hyperthermia, infertility and poor performance but perhaps most importantly laminitis. It was only in the 1980s that the potential link between obesity and insulin resistance was recognised and suggested as an alternative explanation for why certain individuals appeared more susceptible to laminitis, rather than excessive adiposity alone. What will I gain from watching this webinar?This webinar will discuss how definitions and terminology h...
