Quantum food and nutrition: Subatomic approaches to nourishment for health and well-being.

Nutrition science has been represented as biomedical, environmental, societal and economic field, but quantum biology is sidestepped, thereby obscuring cognate problems and solutions. We are generally nourished for health, optimal well-being, longevity and personal security through sustainable livelihoods. Our nourish-ments include not only food and energy but also light from the sun, the firmament and the earth itself, along with information transmitted in subatomic particles and electromagnetic wave forms.

Dietary and other lifestyle factors and their influence on non-communicable diseases in the Western Pacific region.

The Western Pacific region is a diverse region experiencing fast economic growth and nutrition transition.

The combination of physical activity with fruit and vegetable intake associated with life satisfaction among middle-aged and older adults: a 16-year population-based cohort study.

Background: Life satisfaction (LS) is part of a positive psychological feeling that protects individuals from a physical decline in old age. A healthy lifestyle, including physical activity (PA) and a healthy diet, such as the intake of fruits and vegetables (F&V), can lead to a better experience of LS in older adults. However, the association between PA and F&V intake habits when occurring together in older adults is still unclear for LS.

Physicians' self-perceived preparedness for clinical supervision of medical students at university and non-university hospitals -results from a Swedish survey.

Background: The need for clinical placements outside traditional teaching hospitals for medical students is growing, both due to a decrease in hospital beds and the expansion of medical students. In this survey, distributed to supervisors at university and non-university hospitals, we investigated supervisors' self-perceived preparedness for the training assignment and searched for factors associated with self-perceived pedagogical knowledge and familiarity with the students' learning objectives.

Methods: A pilot survey was developed using results from qualitative studies regarding clinical supervision of medical students and included questions on the supervisors' education and preparation, if they were familiar with the students' learning objectives, self-perceived pedagogical knowledge, and characteristics of the learning environment.
