What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

18.4K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy

319
Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

Dimensions of Health and Illness

7.1K
The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

13.4K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

24.2K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Regulation of Food Intake01:30

Regulation of Food Intake

193
Short-term regulation of food intake primarily involves neural signals from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, blood nutrient levels, and GI tract hormones. Communication between the gut and brain via vagal nerve fibers plays a significant role in evaluating the contents of the gut. Clinical studies have shown that protein ingestion produces a more prolonged response in these nerve fibers compared to an equivalent amount of glucose. Additionally, the activation of stretch receptors caused by GI...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Public Health Nutrition
  • Health Systems Research

Background:

  • Food is Medicine (FiM) integrates nutrition interventions into healthcare to improve population health and manage diet-related diseases.
  • FiM's connection to climate change drivers (healthcare delivery, food systems) is underexplored.
  • Addressing climate change requires examining the intersection of food systems and healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of FiM to mitigate climate change.
  • To identify key areas where FiM can reduce environmental impact.
  • To advocate for integrated analytical approaches for measuring FiM's ecological footprint.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of FiM's role in health and environmental sustainability.
  • Identification of four key intervention areas for FiM.
  • Discussion on the need for novel analytical frameworks.

Main Results:

  • FiM can advance lifestyle medicine and population health goals.
  • Four key areas for FiM to mitigate climate change: increasing plant-based diets, reducing food waste, decreasing healthcare utilization, and lowering food-related transportation emissions.
  • Current healthcare analytical methods are insufficient for measuring FiM's ecological impact.

Conclusions:

  • FiM offers a pathway to address both health and environmental challenges.
  • Strategic focus on plant-based diets, waste reduction, and efficient healthcare can yield significant climate benefits.
  • Data-driven, cross-sectoral interventions are essential for sustainable FiM and planetary health.
