  4. PSYCHOLOGY OF NUTRITION

  5. PSYCHOLOGY OF NUTRITION • Why do we eat and drink? • What controls how much (or little) we eat and drink? • Why do we consume certain foods and drinks? • What stops us from eating and drinking?

  6. Why do we eat and drink? Hunger Chemical signals from stomach, small intestine and blood dictate when we are hungry Thirst Concentration (water content of blood dictates thirst sensation) We lose water before we become thirsty

  7. Why do we eat and drink? Sociology Religion -eat and drink-communion Social occasions -we eat to be social and not offend

  8. What controls how much (or little) we eat ? Satiation -feeling of satisfaction (fullness) Satiety- -chemical signals from stomach small intestine and blood dictate when we are still full and not yet ready to eat

  9. What controls how much (or little) we eat ? Pregnancy-increased metabolic demands of baby combined with the increased weight that mother must carry around means mother must consume more food to keep up with those demands Mental Illness- e.g. depression including bipolar disorder-sometimes eat comfort food to console depression - eating disorders

  10. What controls how much (or little) we eat ? Physical Illness -people who are not feeling well will eat less -what are the implications for this ? Politics -ethnic cleansing in the Balkans-Milosevic -Russia/Poland case

  11. What controls how much (or little) we eat ? Anthropology -undernutrition-affects ability to work and hence obtain food -perception of value of food

  12. What controls how much (or little) we eat ? Sociology -rumours/gossip about best quantities of food to eat -society (or subsets e.g. ethnic groups) have certain foods they prefer or can have -culture of thinness as beauty at the moment (in the past) -culture is fueled by media advertising

  13. What controls how much (or little) we eat ? Desire for Health -weight control -avoiding heart disease, diabetes and cancer Economics -we eat what we think we can afford (not always accurate)

  14. What controls how much (or little) we eat ? Reading Food Labels -calories -nutrient content -what about illiteracy? Activity-specific (athletics) -carbohydrates are the limiting nutrient for athletes -proteins-necessary for building muscle -all other nutrients to meet requirements for particular activity

  15. What controls how much (or little) we eat ? Information available to the consumer -taste -health -smell -texture -visual

  16. Why do we consume certain foods and drinks ? Nutrient Deficiencies -pica-consumption of clay, ice chips when when people are iron deficient- -these foods contain no iron -clay inhibits iron absorption- -found particularly in poor women and children who are iron deficient

  17. Why do we consume certain foods and drinks ? Anthropology/Sociology Religion -Communion -bread and wine (body and blood of Christ) -Jewish –kosher -what is left over after the forbidden items

  18. Why do we consume certain foods and drinks ? Mental Illness -the belief that somebody may be trying to poison us with certain foods but not others Physical Illness -the desire to get well

  19. Why do we consume certain foods and drinks ? Politics -what is available Desire for Continued Health -fish -fruit and vegetables -fibres -supplements -food allergies and intolerances

  20. Why do we consume certain foods and drinks ? Economics- -what we think we can afford or can actually afford Reading food labels -calories -nutrient composition -avoiding food allergies and intolerances and food-drug interactions

  21. Why do we consume certain foods and drinks ? Activity-specific (athletics) -carbohydrate-most limiting nutrient for performance -protein-muscle building Information available to the consumer -taste(flavour), health, smell, texture

  22. Why do we avoid certain foods and drinks ? Anthropology/Sociology -religion -Middle East-pork -India-Hindus-beef -Jews-certain foods must be kosher -Mormons-no alcohol and no caffeine drinks (tea, coffee, colas) Mental Illness - a belief that someone is trying to poison us or hearing voices telling us not to eat certain foods

  23. Why do we avoid certain foods and drinks ? Physical Illness -unwell feeling- e.g. pain, nausea -coma Pregnancy- -e.g. alcohol - avoid fetal alcohol syndrome (facial deformities and learning disabilities)

  24. Why do we avoid certain foods and drinks ? Desire for Health -high fat foods in excess and low nutrient density foods to be avoided Economics -reality or perception that we cannot afford a particular food

  25. Why do we avoid certain foods and drinks ? Reading food labels -calories -nutrient composition -avoiding food allergies and intolerances and food-drug interactions Activity specific (athletics) -e.g. high fat foods –inhibit performance if taken just before a competition

  26. What stops us from eating (starving ourselves) Illness -physical -elderly-may not feel well or terminally ill who have the “ I just want to die” outlook -mental -eating disorders mainly -anorexia -bulimia

  27. What stops us from eating (starving ourselves) Politics e.g. Bobby Sands in 1981 in Northern Ireland to protest the British presence

  28. Eating Disorders Introduction Anorexia Nervosa Bulimia Nervosa Obesity Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder Mood Disorders Schizophrenia

  29. Introduction -define eating disorder -a situation where a person eats or overeats non-nutritious amounts of foods and/or deliberately vomits foods -vomiting may include ridding the body of non-nutritious or nutritious amounts of foods -leads to disease or disability -classified on basis of visible end result (extreme thinness or fatness) or on the basis of variation of eating patterns (fasting, binging, food restriction)

  30. Introduction continued -what causes eating disorders -psychiatric/psychological or biochemical aberration

  31. Anorexia Nervosa -define -characterised by self-imposed weight loss, hormone function, and distorted psychopathological attitude towards eating and weight -epidemiology -typically occurs in females shortly after puberty or later in adolescence -but can be before puberty or later in life

  32. Anorexia Nervosa -causes-   -biological -unexplained physiological (possibly hormonal changes) with possible genetic predisposition -psychological -family dynamics causing intrapsychic conflicts -social -the belief that the person is too heavy -the view that heavy is ugly and thinness is beautiful -self-esteem may be low -ties in with onset of puberty

  33. Anorexia Nervosa -consequences -similar to other states of semi-starvation -adaptive responses by the body that allow the person to survive decreased dietary energy intake -such adaptive measures have their costs -such costs are limitations on mental and physical abilities of person -these limitations come about because sparing of utilisation of glucose and proteins and the shift to the utilisation of fat stores in the body

  34. Anorexia Nervosa Consequences -shift in fluid and electrolyte (mineral) balance in body -disturbances in hormones leading to lack of a period and infertility, cold intolerance, dry skin and hair, and constipation

  35. Anorexia nervosa Treatments     -done jointly with physician and dietitian -mild cases -counselling about adolescent growth and nutrition education and consequences of starvation -more severe cases -psychiatrist and dietitian who specialise in eating disorders and provide psychological and dietary counselling, and general support -very severe-hospitalisation including feeding by other than mouth combined with above

  36. Anorexia Nervosa outcomes -  must follow for at least 4 years - 50-60 % of patients are back to normal weight after 4 years - after 6 years have 50 % recovery from disease (previous point?) - 6- 12 years of illness 75 % recover - after 12 years of illness recovery unlikely - mortality rate- 0 –5 %

  37. Bulimia nervosa Defined -Characterised by frequent binge eating and purging associated with the loss of control over eating and the persistent overconcern about body shape and weight. Occurs predominately in young adult women -Milder forms of binging and purging (vomit and laxatives) are common in normal weight females.

  38. Bulimia Nervosa Multiple determinants -Depression -Impaired hormonal regulation suggesting really full when not -Reduced post-prandial satiety - if person once maintained a higher weight and if they are in the normal range due to binge and purge now it will be sub-optimal for them -therefore in a state of semi-starvation -Binge and purge can also occur in in normal weight persons who have never had anorexia nervosa-some may have been overweight or desire slimmer figure. Meal skipping and calorically restricted meals often starts the process.

  39. Bulimia nervosa Consequences -Clinically changes similar to anorexia nervosa occur -Diversity of eating patterns among bulimics makes it difficult to generalise regarding the physiological consequences Epidemiology -1-9% among young adult women; rare in males -mean age for diagnosis 23 years -among 15-24 yr females bulima nervosa is 2 x as common as anorexia nervosa

  40. Bulimia nervosa Treatment As per anorexia nervosa Outcomes Few studies that follow patients for more than one year after treatment In the short term there is 66 % recovery.

  41. Obesity -define -excessive accumulation of fat in the body -body mass index of greater than or equal to 30 -body mass index is kg/m2 -greater than or equal to 94 cm males and 80 cm females

  42. Obesity Prevalence Children in Canada 1978 In 1978/79, 23% of children aged 2-17 were overweight or obese. 2004 In 2004, 35% of children aged 2-17 were overweight or obese. 2017 30% of children aged, 5-17 are overweight or obese.

  43. Obesity Prevalence Adults in Canada • 1978 In 1978/79, 49% of adults over the age of 18 were overweight or obese. • 2004 In 2004, 59% of adults over the age of 18 were overweight or obese. • 2017 Today, 64% of adults over the age of 18 are overweight or obese.

  44. Obesity -causes -low income -higher percentage of low income population are obese -higher income -lower percentage of affluent population are obese why? - different ethnic groups have different percentage of their respective populations that are obese e.g. among U.S. males- Hispanics > whites > blacks

  45. Obesity causes -media impact- eat more -hormonal-rare -genetics- it has been suggested that obese parents produce obese children but this is not absolute

  46. Interesting observation in Belgium- first year university students with larger waist circumferences have a greater chance of failure-Deliens et al (2013) Nutrition Journal 12:162. -yet another reason for young people to be concerned about obesity (aside from type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, end stage renal disease, blindness, amputation, liver disease, depression, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, some types of cancer (e.g. breast, prostate, colon), lack of workplace productivity, job insecurity, poorer income, reduced benefits and pensions, and loss of publically funded healthcare)

  47. Contributing to Obesity are: Five food felons 1) saturated fats 2) trans fats 3) added sugars 4) syrups 5) any grains that aren’t 100% whole

  48. BOTTOM LINE Notall Canadians are walking the talk. They know what has to be done but cannot bring consistently themselves to do it. Canadians as a population just do not get it. Obesity continues to rise in Canada Perspective on Obamacare

  49. Obesity Treatments -caloric restriction and exercise- otherwise yo yo effect -appetite suppressing drugs -psychotherapy -behaviour modification- eg only eating in dining room -surgery-stomach stapling Outcomes of treatments -highly individual

  50. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder -define -developmentally inappropriate activity levels -low frustration tolerance -impulsivity -poor organisation of behaviour -inability to sustain attention and concentration
