New research suggests that uploading images of his latest culinary creation allows you to keep track of your intake.
Dietary assessment based on images (IBDA) allows those seeking to shed some pounds to record his recent use. Dietitians can monitor their patients effectively, pointing out where possible improvements canbe made. Experts say that this method also helps to reduce any errors that could arise from traditional methods of diet. Today, many patients keep records or fill out questionnaires to document what they have eaten recently. But depending on your ability to correctly recall portion sizes and specific ingredients, many things can go wrong.
With the prevalence of smartphones, photography emerges as a means of increasing food consumption data collection.
For example, a diabetes patient could take a picture of everything what they ate for three days, according to researchers at Oregon StateUniversity.A dietitian could then analyze those photos to make recommendations for dietary improvements. But before that can happen,dietitians to review photos need a consistent, formal training. Thosewho want to shed the pounds should learn to take good photographs, says Mary Cluskey.She adds the author of the study: 'We have to work with people in their ability to take photos.' shoot at an angle of 45 degrees to the food, preferably while you're standing and ensure you have enough light. We want to make it as easy as possible for people to provide information that is as accurate as possible. The researchers tested the ability of 114 students from nutrition to identify foodand portions. Correctly identified nine different foods almost 80 percent of the time. However, participants fought with the last test after looking at pictures of food on plates. Two in five of its estimates werewithin a range of 10 percent of how much really heavy foods. Food without a defined form, such as ice cream, were the most difficult of assess, showed the study published in the journal of nutrients. Intake information is important for individuals using nutrition therapy for conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
WRAPPING FOOD WASTE ON PLAIN PAPER
Fatty and sugary foods should be sold in plain paper wraps to avoidovereating, said a scientist leader yesterday.
Cigarettes can be sold in plain packaging without brand, under laws that come into force this year. But with obesity a problem of increasing health, foods such as chocolate and French fries should be given same treatment, he has been suggested. Professor Wolfram Schultz, Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge, called for the prohibition that agreed to the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for theresearch of the brain with two colleagues.
