In the study to to examine the
evidence for the benefits and harms of screening and
earlier treatment of overweight
in children and adolescents in clinical settings,
researchers found that BMI measurement to detect overweight in older
adolescents
could identify those at increased risk of developing
adult obesity, and its
consequent morbidities. Promising interventions to
address overweight adolescents in
clinical settings are beginning to be reported but are
not yet proven to have
clinically significant benefits; nor are they widely
available. Screening for the
purposes of overweight categorization in children under
age 12 to 13 who are not
clearly overweight may not provide reliable risk
categorization for adult obesity.
Theoretical harms may occur from overweight labeling or
from induced individual and
parental concern. Screening approaches are further
compromised by the fact that
there is little generalizable evidence for interventions
that can be conducted in
primary care or are widely available for primary care
referral. Despite this, the
fact that many trials report short- to medium-term
modest improvements
(approximately 10%–20% decrease in percent overweight or
a few units' change in BMI)
suggests that overweight improvements in children and
adolescents are possible. Experts have identified pragmatic clinical
recommendations for lifestyle changes that
could be applied to all children and adolescents
regardless of risk. While
monitoring growth and development in children and
adolescents through BMI
documentation at visits is prudent, care should be taken
not to unnecessarily label
children and adolescents as overweight or at risk for
overweight until more is known
about BMI as a risk factor, and effective interventions
are available(1).

Screening and Interventions for Overweight and Obesity in Adults
In the study to examine the evidence of the benefits and harms of
screening and earlier
treatment in reducing morbidity and mortality from overweight and
obesity, showed that Screening with BMI would detect a large percentage
of adults who are obese or
overweight. Limited evidence suggests that counseling interventions
may promote
modest weight loss in the overweight (BMI 25–29.9). Effective treatments for
people with BMI >30 include intensive counseling and behavioral
interventions for lifestyle change, and pharmacotherapy. Surgery is effective in
reducing weight for people with BMI of 35 or greater. Adverse effects include
increased blood pressure and gastrointestinal distress with drugs and a small
percentage of serious side effects with surgery(1).

Herbal Aloe Vera and Cancers
Aloe Vera is species of succulent plant in the genus Aloe, belonging to the Family Xanthorrhoeaceae, native to Sudan. It has become very popular for commercial cultivation due to its health benefits. Aloe vera has been used in herbal medicine in treating many kinds of disease, including wound, burn healing, minor skin infections, sebaceous cysts, diabetes, and elevated of cholesterol, etc. It is also one of many popular herb studied in scientific ways with some conflicted results.
Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells growing and multiplying disordered and uncontrollable way in our body, have become progressively worse and damaged other healthy tissues, sometimes spreads to other organs in the body via lymph or blood and results may be in death.
The Ingredients
The ten main areas of chemical constituents of Aloe vera include: amino acids, anthraquinones, enzymes, minerals, vitamins, lignins, monosaccharide, polysaccharides, salicylic acid, saponins, and sterols.
They all work together in a synergistic way to create healing and health giving benefits, according to Gertrude Baldwin in the article of THE BENEFITS OF THE USE OF ALOE VERA IN HERBAL PREPARATIONS.
The Benefits
Aloe-Emodi, a chemical compound found in Aloe vera, specifically suppress breast cancer cell proliferation by targeting ER α protein stability through distinct mechanisms and may be used as a possible application of anthraquinones in preventing or treating breast cancer in the future. Also in other study, Aloe-Emodi is considered as a potential value for the treatment of gastric cancer and cervical cancer because of its mechanisms are by means of cell cycle interruption and induce differentiation and suppressed the expression of PKCalpha and c-myc. Radiotherapy are most often used to treat head and neck cancer patients. Ina study of Aloe Vera, Dr. Ahmadi A. found that oral Aloe vera mouthwash may not only prevent radiation-induced mucositis, but also may reduce oral candidiasis of patients undergoing head and neck radiotherapy due to its antifungal and immunomodulatory properties
The Side effects
1. Hepatitis
Some researchers concerned that the over use of oral aloe vera may contribute to acute hepatitis, according to the study of "Oral aloe vera-induced hepatitis" by Bottenberg MM, Wall GC, Harvey RL, Habib S., posted in PubMed
2. Diarrhea, caused by the laxative effect of oral use of Aloe Vera
3. oral use of Aloe Vera may cause abdominal cramps and pain
4. It may cause of rheumatoid arthritis symptoms as a result of collagen in the plant, according to the study of "Oral type II collagen in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. A six-month double blind placebo-controlled study" by Cazzola M, Antivalle M, Sarzi-Puttini P, Dell'Acqua D, Panni B, Caruso I., posted in PubMed

Food therapy - Strawberries and Neuroprotective effects
Strawberries
Strawberries
is a genius of Fragaria × ananassa belongs to the family Roseaceae.
They have been grown all over the world with suitable climate for
commercial profits and for health benefits.
Neuroprotective effects is defined as an event that protects the central
nervous system (CNS) by relatively preserving of neuronal structure
and/or function.

The major chemical compounds include anthocyanin and ellagitannins and p-Hydroxybenzoic acid, p-coumaric acid, ellagic acid, cyanidin-3-glucoside, pelargonidin-3-glucoside, kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin.
The benefits
Many studies has been oncarrying by scientists to explore the effective
agent of which has a potential to prevent or slow disease progression
and secondary injuries by halting or at least slowing the loss of
neurons. In spite of nitochondrial oxidative stress (MOS) as a major
factor in the underlying pathology of many neurodegenerative diseases,
chemical constituent anthocyanins suppress MOS-induced apoptosis by
preserving mitochondrial
GSH and inhibiting cardiolipin oxidation and mitochondrial
fragmentation. Also in the the study of Berry fruit supplementation,
polyphenolic compounds found in berry fruits, such as blueberries and strawberries, may exert their beneficial effects
either through their ability to lower oxidative stress and inflammation
or directly by altering the signaling involved in neuronal
communication, calcium buffering ability, neuroprotective
stress shock proteins, plasticity, aubMed)nd stress signaling pathways.
Dr. Richardson JS. indicated that pharmacological agents that protect
damaged neurons are not ready yet for widespread
clinical use, neuron damaging oxidative stress can be kept in check by
insuring adequate dietary sources of antioxidants with little or no
scientific evidence, but the consumption of high antioxidant
foods, such as blueberries and strawberries, is appealing to most people regardless of any neuroprotective potential.
The Side effects
1. Some people may be experience anaphylactoid reaction to the consumption of strawberries
2. Oxalation
Oxalates in high concentration can cause problem for people with kidney diseases.
3. Etc. Oxalates in high concentration can cause problem for people with kidney diseases.

Food therapy - Strawberries and Atherosclerosis
Strawberries
Strawberries
is a genius of Fragaria × ananassa belongs to the family Roseaceae.
They have been grown all over the world with suitable climate for
commercial profits and for health benefits.
Beside cancer, heart disease kills more than 2,000 Americans everyday. Approximately 60 million Americans have heart disease.
There are many causes of heart diseases. Most of heart diseases are caused by high blood pressure contributes to hardening of the arteries. High levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) build up in the arteries as a result of uncontrolled diet with high levels of saturated fat and trans fat. All these add to the formation of atherosclerosis lesions and eventually arterial blockage or anything that serves to damage the inner lining of blood vessels and impedes the transportation of oxygen and nutrition to the heart can be defined as a risk of heart disease.

The benefits
Phytochemicals anthocyanin and ellagitannins as the antioxidants have
played role played on fruit absorption, metabolism,
and the possible beneficial biological activity on human health,
including heart diseases. In subjects with type 2 diabetes: a randomized
double-blind controlled trial, freeze-dried strawberry (FDS) improved
glycemic control and antioxidant status, and reduced lipid
peroxidation and inflammatory response in patients with T2D.
Supplementation with freeze-dried berry products, as natural sources of
antioxidants with low glycemic index, could be considered as an
adjunctive therapy in ameliorating metabolic complications and
short-term freeze-dried strawberry supplementation improved selected
atherosclerotic risk factors, including dyslipidemia and circulating
adhesion molecules in subjects with metabolic syndrome. Other study also
indicated of supporting therapeutic roles of strawberries in
metabolic syndrome, a prediabetic state characterized by several
cardiovascular risk factors as it is found of lowering total and
LDL-cholesterol, but not triglycerides, and decreasing surrogate
biomarkers of atherosclerosis (malondialdehyde and adhesion molecules).
The Side effects
1. Some people may be experience anaphylactoid reaction to the consumption of strawberries
2. Oxalation
Oxalates in high concentration can cause problem for people with kidney diseases.

Food therapy - Black beans (Phaseolus) and Prostatic hyperplasia
Black bean is a Small roughly ovoid legumes with glossy black shells, genus Phaseolus, belongs to the family Fabaceae and can bought in most grocery stores all around the year in dried and canned forms. It is believed that black bean was first domesticated growth in South America.
Prostatic hyperplasia is a condition of enlarged prostate. Starting at age 40, the levels of the by-product prolactin of testosterone of men increases, stimulating the production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase that causes the conversion of testosterone to gihydro-testosterones DHT triggering prostate enlargement and other problems. Therefore in order to prevent the symptoms of enlarged prostate is to naturally impend the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Unfortunately, aging is not the only cause of enlarged prostate. In this article, we will discuss other causes of prostate enlargement.
Nutrients and Chemicals constituents a. Nutrients
1. Carbohydrate
2. Dietary fiber
3. Protein
4. Fat
5. Vitamin A
6. Vitamin B
7. Folate
8. Vitamin C
9. Calcium
10. Magnesium
11. Manganese
12. Phosphorus
13. Molybdenum
14. Iron
10. Etc.
b. Chemicals constituents
The major chemical compounds of black bean include anthocyanin, (-)-epicatechin, delphinidin, petunidin, flavonols and malvidin.
The benefits
As a result of prosperity in the emerging world, Prostatic hyperplasia has become a medical condition of which requires urgent attention. Anthocyanin, a major chemical compound found in pigment in black bean may be a potential food used to treatment for enlarged prostate, as anthocyanin decrease the volume and suppressing the proliferation of the prostate. But further studies are needed to better understand the mechanisms and actions of anthocyanin, and these studies may lead to the clinical application of anthocyanin in treating BPH. Other study in the investigation the effects of anthocyanin extracted from black soybeans on a rat model of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Prostate hyperplasia was induced by the administration of testosterone propionate for 4 weeks of that led to prostatic hyperplasia, anthocyanin administration helped to prevent this change. Apoptotic body counts were significantly higher in groups receiving anthocyanin than in the BPH-induced group (p < 0.05).
The Side effect
1. Purines
Black beans contain purines, excessive intake of these substances can cause the accumulation of uric acid, leading to"gout" and kidney stones.

Dieting status and its relationship to eating and physical activity behaviors
In the study to determine whether adolescents engaging in extreme weight loss
methods (i.e., vomiting and diet pills) and those using more moderate
methods differ from each other in dietary intake (fruits, vegetables,
and higher-fat foods) and physical activity, and to compare these
variables in dieting and nondieting adolescents, showed that the
importance of distinguishing between different types of dieting
behaviors in clinical settings and research studies. Adolescents
engaging in extreme weight
control behaviors may be at particular risk for inadequate nutritional
intake. In contrast, adolescents using more moderate methods may be
consuming a more healthful diet than are nondieters. For all
adolescents, nutrition guidance on healthful and safe weight control strategies is needed(1).
