It ’s Time To Reopen Primary Schools in India
Schools in India are not just a source of education but also provide access to health, hygiene, immunisation, and nutritional safety nets. | Picture courtesy: FlickrBy External SourceJul 22 2021 (IPS) “The government should open schools, even if it’s for an hour, to facilitate some student-teacher interaction. Most teachers feel that students should be encouraged to come to school.
Neither parents, students, nor teachers are worried about transmission as little has changed in the community habits such as social gatherings, shared resources, intermingling of children, and drinking, among others.

The effects of a nutrition education curriculum on improving young children's fruit and vegetable preferences and nutrition and health knowledge.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that a short, 6-week intervention that aligns with educational standards has the ability to significantly enhance children's outcomes and thus may be a more feasible option for teachers to incorporate into their classrooms than what is currently available.

Food and Nutrition Education, Policy and Training in the UK.
Authors: Ballam R
Abstract
In the context of child health in the UK, the focus is centered on childhood obesity, with one in 10 children aged 4-5 years being overweight or obese, rising to one in 3 children by the age of 11-15 years. There is also a concern with micronutrient deficiency, as well as low levels of fruit and vegetable consumption. Many children are also not reaching the recommended 1 h of physical activity per day. The UK government has introduced a number of measures through the Childhood obesity - a plan of action, including a sugar reformulation program, updating marketing restrictions to children,...

School Lunch Programmes for Progress
School feeding programme in Togo. Credit: WFP/João CavalcanteBy Jomo Kwame Sundaram and Wan Manan MudaKUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Jan 21 2020 (IPS) If well planned, coordinated and implemented, a government funded school feeding programme for all primary school children can be progressively transformative. Such a programme, involving government departments and agencies working together, can benefit schoolchildren, their families, farmers and public health, now and in the future.

P105 Nutrition Education Certificate Online for Teachers of School-aged Children: Scaling Up of HomeStyles Through Expert Review
Twenty percent of school-aged children had obesity in the United States. Many lifestyle behaviors, including diet and exercise are contributors to childhood obesity. The HomeStyles intervention research team developed eight lifestyle guides to address many lifestyle behaviors for school-age children including sleep, fruit and vegetable intake, family eating, physical activity, portion sizes, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, and quality of life.

Dr. Yum's Preschool Food Adventure
is a hands-on curriculum designed to increase food acceptance in young children. A multidisciplinary team of professionals (pediatrician, feeding specialist, registered dietitian/nutritionist, and early childhood educator) developed the 24-month curriculum for delivery in child care settings and included a family component to reinforce concepts. Early education teachers deliver 1 lesson per month, and each month focuses on a unique fruit or vegetable. The lessons include a visual on how each food grows and encourage children to use their senses to touch, smell, listen to, and observe the whole fruit or vegetable.

Plant-Derived Alkaloids: The Promising Disease-Modifying Agents for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Conclusion
This paper summarizes the current findings regarding the anti-colitis activity of plant-derived alkaloids and shows how these alkaloids exhibit significant and beneficial effects in alleviating colonic inflammation. These natural alkaloids are not only promising agents for IBD treatment but are also components for developing new wonder drugs. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms or toxicological evaluation of most plant-derived alkaloids still require much scientific research, and their actual efficacies for IBD patients have not been verified well in field research. Thus, further clinical trials to elu...

Long-term Fine Particulate Matter Exposure and Nonaccidental and Cause-specific Mortality in a Large National Cohort of Chinese Men
Conclusions:
Long-term exposure to PM2.5 was associated with nonaccidental, CVD, lung cancer, and COPD mortality in China. The IER estimator may underestimate the excess relative risk of cause-specific mortality due to long-term exposure to PM2.5 over the exposure range experienced in China and other low- and middle-income countries. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1673

A Typology of Secondary Stressors Among Refugees of Conflict in the Middle East: The Case of Syrian Refugees in Jordan
Conclusions
As shown in the introduction, the relief literature does recognise the importance of stressors arising from exile, but it lacks an organised conceptual framework to classify these stressors or to measure them. The only effort that we are aware of is a typology of secondary stressors in disasters18, which was not designed with armed conflicts in mind. We recommend using the term secondary stressors instead of daily stressors, as it includes stressors that are not daily in nature, in addition to traumatic stressors that arise from exile. Our data showed that refugees did occasionally report primary stressors caus...

Should Someone With Asthma Get a COVID-19 Vaccine Before Someone With Cancer? The Next Big Challenge in the Vaccine Rollout
In an ideal world, there would be enough vaccines to inoculate everyone who wanted to get immunized against COVID-19. People would get their shots on a first come, first serve basis, we’d achieve herd immunity in a matter of months and COVID-19 would become a soon-distant memory.
But with some 240 million people over age 16 who need a COVID-19 vaccine (and two doses at that), and just over 42 million administered by early February, supply is far below demand, and will likely remain that way for months to come, despite vaccine makers pushing production lines as hard as they can.
As the U.S. works through the vaccine ...

Strategies for enhancing the implementation of school-based policies or practices targeting risk factors for chronic disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Given the very low quality of the available evidence, it is uncertain whether the strategies tested improve implementation of the targeted school-based policies or practices, student health behaviours, or the knowledge or attitudes of school staff. It is also uncertain if strategies to improve implementation are cost-effective or if they result in unintended adverse consequences. Further research is required to guide efforts to facilitate the translation of evidence into practice in this setting.
