World Journal of Nutrition and Health. 2017 5 (2). doi: 10.12691/jnh-5-2-1
Keywords: adolescence girls, behavior, hand-washing, nutrition education
Context: Personal hygiene including hand washing, food preparation, and food diversification consciousness can be grown through nutrition education. A randomized controlled trial study was conducted on five hundred adolescent girls. In baseline study participants were randomly assigned to a control and an intervention group where both groups had the same number of adolescent girls. The hand hygiene behavior of 250 adolescent girls was studied to determine how hand washing practice and hygienic materials using practice changed by nutritional education, focusing on hand hygiene. In end line, 241 adolescent girls from intervention group and 236 from control group were interviewed. Most of the adolescents (more than 60%) washed their hands 2 times after defecation and before eating both in the control and intervention group. In the intervention group, hand wash practice after defecation, before eating, and before food preparation increased in 16% of adolescents where baseline was 20.0% and the end line was 36.1%. In where the percentage was almost same in the control group at baseline (27.2%) and end line (27.5%). Almost everybody (97.5%) in the intervention group washed their hands with soap and water at the end line of the study which was slightly less by 5.6% percentage at the base line of the study. Nutrition education increased the hand washing practicing behavior of the adolescents and the tendency to use hygienic materials for hand washing.

American Journal of Food and Nutrition. 2019 7 (1). doi: 10.12691/ajfn-7-1-2
Keywords: Neolamarckia cadamba, antioxidants, membrane stabilization, nutritional value, minerals
Context: Neolamarckia cadamba, (Roxb.) is commonly grown in different regions of Bangladesh, India also in some other parts of the world. The present study was carried out to evaluate the anti-oxidative and erythrocyte membrane stabilizing effect of fruit extract along with the nutritional values of ripen fresh N. cadamba fruit. The antioxidant potential of the extract was assessed by its 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)-free radical scavenging activity, anti-hemolysis and anti-lipid peroxide assay. Membrane stabilizing effect of N. cadamba extract was assessed by using hypotonic solution- and heat-induced hemolysis of erythrocytes. Nutritional values such as total protein, lipid, carbohydrate, crude fiber, etc., along with minerals (Na, K, Mg and Fe) were analyzed by different established chemical methods. The water and ethanolic extracts of ripen fruit showed antioxidative and membrane stabilizing activity, and the extracts were found rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, β-carotene, lycopene and Vitamin-C. The fruits were also found rich in minerals. Thus, N. cadamba fruit could be used as a good source of food nutrients. Due to its antioxidative and membrane stabilizing property, this fruit could have a promising role to avert hemolysis-related anemia, as seen inevitable during famine-related malnutrition.
