There is an emphasis on plant foods, olive oil, fish, poultry, beans, and grains The diet draws together the common food types and healthful habits from the traditions of several different regions, including Greece, Spain, southern France, Portugal, and Italy. Studies suggest that people who live in the Mediterranean area or follow the Mediterranean diet have a lower risk of various diseases, including obesity, diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. They are also more likely to enjoy a longer life than people in other regions. Key ingredients of the diet include fresh fruits and vegetables, unsaturated fats, oily fish, a moderate intake of dairy, and a low consumption of meat and added sugar. Studies have linked these factors with positive health outcomes. There is no single definition of the Mediterranean diet Definition of the Mediterranean Diet: A Literature Review: Nutrients 2015 7(11):9139-9153 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4663587 https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/149090.php#diet The main components of Mediterranean diet include: • Daily consumption of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats. • Weekly intake of fish, poultry, beans and eggs. • Moderate portions of dairy products. • Limited intake of red meat • Along with food, the mediterranean diet emphasizes the need to spend time eating with family and physical activity. Typical ingredients in Mediterranean diet: Vegetables: Tomatoes, peppers, onions, eggplant, zucchini, cucumber, leafy green vegetables, plus others. Fruits: Melon, apples, apricots, peaches, oranges, and lemons, and so on. Legumes: Beans, lentils, and chickpeas. Nuts and seeds: Almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and cashews. Unsaturated fat: Olive oil, sunflower oil, olives, and avocados. Dairy products: Cheese and yogurt are the main dairy foods. Cereals: These are mostly whole grain and include wheat and rice with bread accompanying many meals. Fish: Sardines and other oily fish, as well as oysters and other shellfish. Poultry: Chicken or turkey. Eggs: Chicken, quail, and duck eggs. Drinks: A person can drink red wine in moderation. 40 Lifestyle-oriented counselling in prevention Mediterranean diet Definition of the Mediterranean Diet: A Literature Review: Nutrients 2015 7(11):9139-9153 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4663587 It is not only food but an outlook on life that contributes to the success of the Mediterranean diet. As well as a focus on plant-based foods, a philosophy that emphasizes the following is essential:  Moderation and variety  Living in harmony with nature  Valuing relationships with others, including sharing meals and enjoying a chat around the table  Having an active lifestyle, but relaxing after a meal Vegetables: Include 3 to 9 servings a day. Fresh fruit: Up to 2 servings a day. Cereals: Mostly whole grain from 1 to 13 servings a day. Oil: Up to 8 servings of extra virgin (cold pressed) olive oil a day. Fat — mostly unsaturated — made up 37% of the total calories. Unsaturated fat comes from plant sources, such as olives and avocado. The Mediterranean diet also provided 33 grams (g) of fiber a day. 41 Lifestyle-oriented counselling in prevention Mediterranean diet Definition of the Mediterranean Diet: A Literature Review: Nutrients 2015 7(11):9139-9153 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4663587 42 Alcohol Lifestyle-oriented counselling in prevention 43 Impact of alcohol consumption on health ̶ He  u Department of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University Lifestyle-oriented counselling in prevention – Alcohol Lancet Psychiatry 2018; 5: 987–1012 DALYs (Disability-Adjusted Life-Years) attributable to alcohol use in 2016: Central Europe : Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Macedonia, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia Western Europe: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Stockholm, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom Eastern Europe: Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine Cardiovascular diseases Cirrhosis Pancreatitis Alcohol use disorders Cancer Injuries Age-standardised DALYs per 100 000 people attributable to alcohol: Mediterranean: Nordic: The main diseases caused by alcohol use: 1) Cardiovascular (CHD, Hypertension, Stroke, Arrytmias, Cardiomyopathy) 2) Cancer (Mouth, Pharynx and Larynx, Oesophagus, Stomach, Liver, Colorectum, Breast) 3) Cirrhosis 4) Alcohol use disorders 5) Pancreatitis 44 Health problems associated with alcohol use A) Alcohol dependence B) Health harm Because alcohol misuse can produce medical harm without the presence of dependence, ICD-10 introduced the term harmful use into the nomenclature. This category is concerned with medical or related types of harm, since the purpose of ICD is to classify diseases, injuries, and causes of death. Harmful use is defined as a pattern of drinking that is already causing damage to health. The damage may be either physical (e.g., liver damage from chronic drinking) or mental (e.g., depressive episodes secondary to drinking). Alcohol dependence syndrome is a cluster of cognitive, behavioural, and physiological symptoms. A diagnosis of dependence should only be made if three or more of the following have been experienced or exhibited at some time in the previous twelve months:  A strong desire or sense of compulsion to drink;  Difficulties in controlling drinking in terms of onset, termination, or levels of use;  A physiological withdrawal state when alcohol use has ceased or been reduced, or use of alcohol to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms;  Evidence of tolerance, such that increased doses of alcohol are required to achieve effects originally produced by lower doses;  Progressive neglect of alternative pleasures or interests because of alcohol use;  Continued use despite clear evidence of harmful consequences. ICD-10: F10 – Alcohol related disorders F10.2 - Alcohol dependence F10.1 - Harmful alcohol use (alcohol abuse) Note: In fact, somatic damage is much more common (and caused by lower doses) than the damage reported as dg. F10.1 - due to the attributable contribution to diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, etc.! Department of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University Lifestyle-oriented counselling in prevention – Alcohol 45 What is hazardous - harmful drinking According to WHO: Hazardous (heavy) drinking: Alcohol consumption that is likely cause adverse health effects if these habits continue (*20-40 g/day for women, 40-60 g/ day for men – but currently the limits getting stricter!) Harmful drinking: Alcohol consumption that results in physical or psychological harm. (*regularly >40 g per day for women,>60 g for men – but currently the limits getting stricter!) Heavy episodic (binge) drinkig :>60 g on one occasion Risky patterns of drinking  Heavy single occasion drinking  Episodic heavy drinking (binge drinking)  Regular (daily) heavy drinking (exceeding weeklyy thresholds) Setting criteria for riskiness:  For single dose size (= on one occasion)  For total weekly consumption  For drinking pattern ̶ Riskiness threshold for 1 dose:  Generally defined as a dose that raises blood concentration (BAC) to a level of intoxication  This also corresponds to the definition of "binge drinking"  0.08 BAC (0.8 ‰) is considered the limit of intoxication  This corresponds to drinking about 4-5 units of alcohol.  Example:  For 80kg men 5 units (á10g = 50g) leads to BAC 0.87 ‰  For 70 kg women 4 units (á10g = 40g) leads to 0.98 ‰)  In fact, the BAC depends on a number of factors (body weight, gender, body water content, etc.)  In grams, the most commonly reported value is 60 g (this is also taken as a criterion for binge drinking)  In the UK 6-8 units (but have 1 unit = 8g), in the US 3 and 4 units ̶ Risk of regular long-term consumption:  WHO:  Hazardous drinking: 20-40 g / day for women, 40-60 g/day for men  Harmful drinking:> 40 g per day for women,> 60 g for men  Cancer risk: limit of 30 g/day for men and 20 g/day for women - but in fact a threshold-free risk!  Most frequently cited weekly limits:  Previously: men 21 units/week, women 14 units/week  Currently: men 14 units/week, women 7 units/week  NIAA (The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism):  No more than 4 drinks per day and no more than 14 drinks per week - men age 65 and younger  Not more than 3 drinks / day and not more than 7 drinks/week - women and men +65  Germany: 12g/day women and 24g/day men, at least 2 days a week without alcohol Lifestyle-oriented counselling in prevention – alcohol Department of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University *Most authorities and recommendations currently set stricter limits, see below 46 Alcohol consumption screening ̶ SF, QF  Simple Frequency, Quantified Frequency ̶ BSQF  Beverage Specific Quantified Frequency ̶ GF  Graduated Frequency ̶ WR  Weekly Recall A) Identification of alcohol-related problems (problem drinking, addiction, alcohol-related disorders) B) Quantification of consumption (of any, even moderate) ̶ CAGE  Cut down, Angry, Guilty, Eye opener  (Short test using 4 questions) ̶ AUDIT  Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test  (Test to identify alcohol-related disorders) ̶ SASQ  Single Alcohol Screening Question Department of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University Lifestyle-oriented counselling in prevention – Examination methods – Alcohol Output for A: • Scoring showing the risk or degree of dependence or alcohol-related problems (to detect „alcoholics“, or potential alcoholics] Output for B: • Amount of alcohol consumed, in units or grams/week; • Frequency of exceeding 5/4 units / day 47 CAGE Questionnaire Developed by Dr. John Ewing, founding Director of the Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies, University of North Carolina at Cahpel Hill, CAGE is an internationally used assessment instrument for identifying alcoholics. It is particularly popular with primary care givers. CAGE has been translated into several languages. The CAGE questions can be used in the clinical setting using informal phrasing. It has been demonstrated that they are most effective when used as part of a general health history and should NOT be preceded by questions about how much or how frequently the patient drinks (see “Alcoholism: The Keys to the CAGE” by DL Steinweg and H Worth; American Journal of Medicine 94: 520-523, May 1993. The exact wording that can be used in research studies can be found in: JA Ewing “Detecting Alcoholism: The CAGE Questionaire” JAMA 252: 1905-1907, 1984. Researchers and clinicians who are publishing studies using the CAGE Questionaire should cite the above reference.

They also apply to individuals in this age range with chronic noncommunicable conditions not related to mobility such as hypertension or diabetes. These recommendations can be applied to adults with disabilities. 18-64 years old Recommendations: 1. At least 150 min of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week or At least 75 min of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week or An equivalent combination of moderate - and vigorous-intensity activity. 2. Aerobic activity should be performed in bouts of at least 10 min duration. 3. For additional health benefits, adults should increase moderate intensity aerobic physical activity to 300 minutes per week, or engage in 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week, or an equivalent combination of moderate - and vigorous-intensity activity 4. Muscle-strengthening activities should be done involving major muscle groups on 2 or more days a week.

It reflects the extensive amount of new knowledge gained since the publication of the first Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, released in 2008. This edition of the Guidelines discusses the proven benefits of physical activity and outlines the amounts and types of physical activity recommended for different ages and populations. For example, new aspects include discussions of:  Additional health benefits related to brain health, additional cancer sites, and fall-related injuries;  Immediate and longer term benefits for how people feel, function, and sleep;  Further benefits among older adults and people with additional chronic conditions;  Risks of sedentary behavior and their relationship with physical activity;  Guidance for preschool children (ages 3 through 5 years);  Elimination of the requirement for physical activity of adults to occur in bouts of at least 10 minutes;  Tested strategies that can be used to get the population more active. https://health.gov/paguidelines/second-edition/pdf/Physical_Activity_Guidelines_2nd_edition.pdf U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2018, 118 pp. What‘s new in th second edition 2018 vs 1st ed 2008: Department of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University Lifestyle-oriented counselling in prevention – Guidelines, recommendations 61 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans - 2nd edition https://health.gov/paguidelines/second-edition/pdf/Physical_Activity_Guidelines_2nd_edition.pdf U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2018, 118 pp. Key guidelines for adults:  Adults should move more and sit less throughout the day. Some physical activity is better than none. Adults who sit less and do any amount of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity gain some health benefits.  For substantial health benefits, adults should do at least: ‒150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) to 300 minutes (5 hours) a week of moderate-intensity, or ‒75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes) to 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity, or ‒an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity. Preferably, aerobic activity should be spread throughout the week.  Additional health benefits are gained by engaging in physical activity beyond the equivalent of 300 minutes (5 hours) of moderate-intensity physical activity a week.  Adults should also do muscle-strengthening activities of moderate or greater intensity and that involve all major muscle groups on 2 or more days a week, as these activities provide additional health benefits.
