I'm going to start a change by applying it myself and then enlightening my family about healthy diets as well as counselling my patients on healthy diet to improve their living conditions and reduce the occurrence of diseases especially NCDs.

When medical doctors follow these steps highlighted, they'll definitely become change makers because their diagnosis won't be only based on drugs but diet also which improves overall health.

Big THANKS to FutureLearn, EIT, our educators, tutors and everyone behind the success of this course. -
Doctors need basic nutritional knowledge. It'd also be interesting to see an ideal office where a GP, nutritionist/dietitian and a psychologist would have sections in. If this is available everywhere, everyone would know that the link between health and food/nutrition is normal/ideal and would make patients care more about not only their health but their diet...

I can encourage my patients by letting them know the importance of physical activity and how it benefits their health and mind together with healthy nutrition.
-
It can be achieved through education, public awareness and regulations from the government particularly, making strict taxes/policies on unhealthy foods.

1. Yes
2. Yes for example, if food is readily available and affordable, it'd improve human health and reduce the rate of underfed people.
3. To make food more affordable and nutritious. -

Aside climate change, general insecurity and terrorism/banditry coupled with bad roads are widening the gap towards food security in my nation. So, we still have a long way to go.

Olaoluwa Oluwapelumi made a comment
Yes but mainly local dishes.

Olaoluwa Oluwapelumi made a comment
The intervention to eat more fruits and vegetables per day was very effective mainly because of cultural reasons.
In Nigeria, each tribe has a number of vegs attributed to them e.g in southwest yoruba whose native food is pounded yam and veg/egunsi. Likewise, the Igbos also have different varieties of vegetables which are healthy and nutritious.

In simple words, trans-fat is very bad for our health.

I come from a family that hate all forms of waste and this has become a crucial part of my every action.
I'll increase my fruits and veg intake and also eat more of whole-grain foods. -

These are all correct and necessary informations.

In Nigeria, almost all mothers breastfeed their babies while only 29% follow exclusive breastfeeding.
Lack of support at home and at workplace play a major barrier. Most workplace require that the infants are kept at daycare/creche or with nannies immediately after mothers resume for duty which is usually not more than 3 months maximum-this is usually less in... -
My dietary habit has changed due to more exposure. I love research and so learn from others. Even social media has made it easy for me as I can easily follow cooking pages and learn from chefs all over the world, then try various healthy cooking recipes.

In Nigeria, our food guide relates with and suits the general eating habits of our culture.
The visual representation is quite okay as it's relatable and can be easily understood but I think more awareness and promotion should be made because most people doesn't even know there's a dietary guideline in the country.

A healthy and sustainable food system is one that contains a balanced diet containing the right proportion, encourages local production and cooking from scratch, avoids high amounts of sugar and sodium intakes and reduces food waste to the minimum.

I've learnt a lot so far. Am eager to learn more.

Well explained!

My perception has really changed and I'm happy being a part of this course.
I learnt more about motivational interview and drug-diet relationship as a healthcare practitioner. -
After hearing the patient's complain, I'll run some tests then ask about the patient's lifestyle, exercise, diet and if the patient experienced any form of stress before the symptom(severe headache) started.
With this, I'll know if it requires to administer drugs or just some change of lifestyle/physical activity/diet. -
Olaoluwa Oluwapelumi made a comment
Wonderful.
-
Olaoluwa Oluwapelumi made a comment
It'd be good to ask how the patient thinks he/she would look like in the next 3 months(for weight loss)
-
These are all useful tips.
-
Olaoluwa Oluwapelumi made a comment
This is actually more serious than I'd thought.
Balanced diet is key. -
The rate is still high in Nigeria with about 18.1-22.2.

Well, I'm here to learn!

Olaoluwa Oluwapelumi made a comment
Rate of people affected by obesity and type-2 diabetes is alarming.
-
Olaoluwa Oluwapelumi made a comment
I'll further look into most of these diets. I'm new to most. They'll be amazing to try out.
-
Naturally, I love cooking from scratch. I'm also not a big fan of sugary/carbonated foods and junks but I'll still work more on reducing salt(sodium) intakes and also eat more vegetables.
-
Olaoluwa Oluwapelumi made a comment
These are all wonderful informations.

Perfectly said!
I've once completed a course on FutureLearn where I learnt about BMI,energy requirements, and foods. -
Olaoluwa Oluwapelumi made a comment
1. It depends
2. When in moderation
3. It depends on the process -
1. Excess of hidden sugar is very harmful for our health.
2. Junks,carbonated drinks, alcohols, as well as processed foods.
3. Opting for natural foods, and foods prepared from scratch (e.g substituting fruit juices for natural fruits which we can also easily blend at home) can help as well as public enlightenment. -

The total length of the intestines varies per individual but it's about an average of 25~27ft. We have the small and large intestines.
The small intestine is about 20~22ft and consists of the duodenum, jejenum and the ileum.
The large intestine is about 5ft long (also broader than the small intestine) and consists of the appendix, cecum,... -

Anatomically, a stoma is any opening in the body that leads to the outside e.g the mouth, nose and anus(natural stomas). A need for one may occur if the digestive/excretory system can't function properly so an hollow organ can be manipulated to form one and be connected to these systems so that waste(urine or faeces) can leave the body.

From my research, it was explained that the stomach is about the size of a fist. Its tissues are stretchy and can stretch to hold up to 2-4 litres of food/fluid or even more depending on individual.

@RahimaNabizada. All the materials and other suggested articles can be found at the 'see also' section of each step of the course. You can find the video at the beginning of this step and you can play/download it.

Public awareness is key in promoting change towards a healthy diet. Letting people know the pros and cons of every step taken towards food and their link to nutrition, health and the environment can help in this change.

What we eat is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
