by Jill Pakulski 31 Oct '07

31 Oct '07

Hello Sneeze! I am pleased to announce the release of my Jumping Jacks with Jill DVD, Fitness Videos for Kids. Copies are available at www.jumpingjill.com under store. The press release is below. I produced this video entirely myself and appreciate your support. Secondly, my band, Sunset West, is releasing a new album on Sunday, June 3rd at the Knitting Factory in New York. If you are in the area and want to rock, you can pick up a ticket for $10 and get a free copy of our CD at www.sunsetwest.net or www.knittingfactory.com. It is an all-ages afternoon show, so little punks are also welcome. The theme is Punk Rock Prom, so punk an old dress with safety pins and wear it with Converse tennis shoes. Check out our new tunes as www.myspace.com/sunsetwest. Sincerely, The Rockstar Nutritionist Jumping Jack with Jill New York, NY FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: Contact: Jill Jayne, RD Phone: 646-596-7454 E-mail: whataboutjill(a)gmail.com DATE: March 5, 2007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUMPING JACKS WITH JILL LAUNCHES IN MULTI-MEDIA NEW YORK- Move over Dora! Jumping Jacks with Jill, nutrition education through entertainment, is now available in multi-media. Four instructional videos get kids up and moving, while a fifth story features kids doing exercises with Jumping Jill. The DVD is ideal for ages 4-8, for educators and parents alike. The DVD is available on the new and improved Jumping Jill website, www.jumpingjill.com. A new promotional video highlighting what Jumping Jill can do for you is also available. Check out recent press, upcoming shows, editorials, and recommended resources there as well! Only one out of three kids meets basic fitness requirements. With heart disease remaining the number one killer of adults, and its primary causes such as high cholesterol and high blood pressure developing in childhood, nutrition and fitness education are crucial. Health professionals are reacting to childhood obesity, but Ronald McDonald continues to serve over 47 million per day. No matter how educationally correct, well structured nutrition education competes with an intensely pervasive and persuasive media environment. Jumping Jacks with Jill uses the tools of mass media proven to sell unhealthy foods with excitement, humor, bandwagoning, and role modeling. Previously, Jumping Jacks with Jill was only available as a live character. With the launch of the website and the DVDs for kids, Jumping Jill is now multi-media, taking her message of healthy habits and a positive body image to the masses. "It is very exciting to expand my reach. I can have more staying power with these many media, as kids interact with media more than ever before," says Jumping Jill. Rather than waging war on the media, Jumping Jill is part of it to become a competitive force in how kids learn about health. To request a multi-media press kit, call 646-596-7454 or email whataboutjill(a)gmail.com.

Subject: [nyc] NUTRITION & YOUR CHILD Vol 2 2007 NUTRITION & YOUR CHILD Volume 2, 2007 NUTRITION & YOUR CHILD is a research-based newsletter produced by the USDA/ARS Children's Nutrition Research Center (CNRC) at Baylor College of Medicine and electronically distributed in cooperation with USDA's Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES) to enhance the research base for educational programming. It is sent only to individuals who have subscribed to the newsletter. View this issue as a "newsletter formatted" Adobe Acrobat (pdf) file at www.kidsnutrition.org/images/pdfs_nyc/2007/vol2.pdf . INSIDE THIS ISSUE: * Increasing Children's Fruit and Vegetable Consumption * Get Out and Play * Sleep Patterns and Obesity * Influence of Child Care Providers on Children's Eating * Infant Feeding Trends Over 25 Years * Volunteer Opportunities Increasing Children's Fruit and Vegetable Consumption How can we get children to eat fruit and vegetables? If you are a parent, you know that this is not an easy question. If you are a health professional concerned about childhood obesity and health, you may wonder how you can encourage parents to buy fruits and vegetables and make them available so children will eat more of them. Dr. Tom Baranowski and his colleagues at the Children's Nutrition Research Center have shown that children will eat more fruits and vegetables if parents make them available. Now they are trying to understand why adult food shoppers do not buy more fruit and vegetables and how buying patterns could be influenced. They used outcome expectancies [the good or not so good things that one believes will happen as a result of a behavior ], item response theory and other statistical procedures to discover information about fruit and vegetable purchasing behaviors. (More information about the research and scientific methods used is available in the March 2007 issue of Public Health Nutrition .) Refer to www.nutritionsociety.org <http://www.nutritionsociety.org/> for additional information about this article. Parents responded to a number of statements including: I like to eat fruits/vegetables because * they are good for your health. * I grew up eating them. * they are easy to prepare. * they are inexpensive. Although responses differed, when the data were analyzed it was clear that parents were convinced that eating fruit and vegetables was good for health. This suggests that the nutritional quality of fruit and vegetables is well known. Providing more information about health benefits of fruits and vegetables most likely would not lead to increased consumption. Many consumers did not agree with the statement that fruits and vegetables were inexpensive. This suggests that educational efforts should highlight the nutrient content of fruit and vegetables compared to cost. Analysis of the taste preferences showed that adults liked fruit better than vegetables and preferred fresh vegetables over cooked vegetables. This may suggest that tasty, simple, quick and easy-to-prepare recipes should be developed for vegetables and introduced to food shoppers. Dr. Baranowski concluded, "Behaviors such as purchasing fruit and vegetables are usually done for a reason. If we can understand the reasons or "motivating factors", we should have a better chance to influence purchasing behavior, leading to more successful interventions to increase fruit and vegetable consumption for our children. " Get Out and Play Most people are familiar with USDA's MyPyramid food guide and MyPyramid for Kids (www.MyPyramid.gov <http://www.mypyramid.gov/> ) which provide personal eating plans and activities. University of Missouri-Columbia Extension health educators expanded on the MyPyramid concept and developed the MyActivity Pyramid designed to show children ages 6 to 11 how to include physical activities into their daily lives. The design is similar to USDA's MyPyramid. Cartoon-like drawings and multiple activity levels in the MyActivity Pyramid show children kinds of activity needed and how much. Everyday activities - where children should accumulate most of the physical activity time - are at the bottom of the pyramid. These activities make-up the largest area of MyActivity Pyramid. The next level describes more vigorous activities that children need at least three to five times a week. Active aerobic and recreational activities include sports, jogging or running, rollerblading and vigorous playground games. Flexibility and strength activities fill the third level of MyActivity Pyramid. Two to three times a week, children should be involved in activities that promote muscle fitness and flexibility, such as stretching, push-ups, practicing martial arts or yoga. Many activities that young children enjoy can fit into more than one level. Ideally, kids should accumulate their 60 minutes, and up to several hours a day, from all three levels. The top of the MyActivity Pyramid represents inactivity. Watching TV or playing video and computer games should be limited to two hours or less each day. MyActivity Pyramid has an accompanying activity log to help children chart their own activity on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. Dr. Marilyn Swanson, CSREES National Program Leader for Maternal and Child Health, stationed at the USDA/ARS Children's Nutrition Research Center considers this an example of a state expanding upon Federal information to promote physical activity for young children. Additional information can be found at http://extension.missouri.edu/explorepdf/hesguide/foodnut/n00386.pdf or through a link on the CNRC website (www.kidsnutrition.org <http://www.kidsnutrition.org/> ). Sleep Patterns and Obesity Obesity is a major health concern today. A simple explanation for weight gain is excess calories and too little physical activity; however researchers are examining additional factors to help explain the dramatic increase in obesity throughout the world. Drs. Molly Bray and Martin Young at the USDA/ARS Children's Nutrition Research Center are exploring the role of the circadian clock in the development of obesity. Circadian clocks are defined as fundamental molecular mechanisms that help condition the organism to environmental changes that occur throughout the day. Biological rhythms, such as sleep/wake cycles, are a central part of all aspects of life. Recent reports suggest that disruptions in sleep patterns, often linked to today's 24-7 lifestyle, are associated with more body fat and altered metabolism. Abnormal sleep/wake patterns may change the intracellular circadian clocks that allow the cell/tissue/ organism to anticipate diurnal variations in its environment, such as circulating levels of nutrients (e.g. glucose, fatty acids and triglycerides) and various hormones (e.g. insulin). Their research of the potential role of the circadian clock in obesity was published in the March 2007 issue of Obesity Reviews and is available at www.kidsnutrition.org/faculty/bray2.htm <http://kidsnutrition.org/faculty/bray2.htm> . Although their research focused on mechanisms at the cellular level, they are optimistic that the circadian clock mechanism within fat cells may be a new field of study to help understand the increasing prevalence of obesity, as well as the timing of obesity therapies. Dr Bray adds, "The consistent sleep schedule recommended for young children may not only influence attention and fatigue but may also be optimal for maintaining coordinated circadian rhythms within fat cells." Influence of Child Care Providers on Children's Eating Eating behaviors of young children are influenced by their eating environment. Today many young children spend considerable time in child care settings. A major responsibility for feeding, (which is part of the eating environment) has shifted from family members to child care providers. Most research on the impact of feeding practices of young children has focused on parents in controlled laboratory settings. Drs. Sheryl Hughes and Theresa Nicklas and others at the USDA/ARS Children's Nutrition Research Center in Houston are investigating the impact of the feeding styles of caregivers and young children's eating patterns in Head Start centers. Child care providers, much like parents, influence what and how much children eat by: * serving as an example (modeling), * providing instruction through directives, and/or * providing little or no instruction, leaving children to their own devices. In their research, published in the April 2007 Journal of Development and Behavioral Pediatrics , child care providers were observed at three mealtime occasions. Self-reported feeding styles were assessed using the Caregivers Feeding Styles Questionnaire (CFSQ), available on the CNRC website at www.kidsnutrition.org/faculty/hughes.htm . The researchers examined the association between observed feeding styles of child care providers and what and how much children ate. An observational checklist was used to associate observed behaviors with child intake. The caregiver's feeding style was categorized as authoritarian, authoritative, indulgent or uninvolved. Overall, indulgent feeding styles led to young children eating more food. Examples of indulgent feeding behaviors include: * Gives seconds, * Offers seconds verbally, and * Gives multiple servings. Although characteristics of indulgent feeding behaviors might be encouraged when the food being served is nutritious and healthful, efforts should be made to minimize indulgent feeding behaviors of caregivers when the food is less healthful. Infant Feeding Trends Over 25 Years A symposium, "Advances in Meeting the Nutritional Needs of Infants Worldwide" organized by Dr. William Heird from the USDA/ARS Children's Nutrition Research Center and sponsored by the International Formula Council was presented at the 2006 annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition. Dr. Heird started the symposium by summarizing the progress made over the past 25 years in promoting breastfeeding, combating malnutrition, and improving the composition of infant formula. Symposium papers were published in the February 2007 supplement of The Journal of Nutrition and are available at jn.nutrition.org/content/vol137/issue2 . According to Dr. Heird more than 90% of women in developing countries and 50% to 90% of women in industrialized countries now start breastfeeding, a marked improvement over the past 25 years. Although the duration of breastfeeding also has increased, fewer than 35% of infants worldwide are exclusively breastfed at 4 months of age despite the recommendation that exclusive breastfeeding should continue for at least 6 months. Parallel to the greater prevalence of breastfeeding, progress has been made in combating malnutrition. Stunting (low length/height for age) in children younger than 5 years in developing countries has decreased from 49% in 1980 to 23% in 2005. Along with more widespread breastfeeding, there have also been other positive trends in infant feeding practices over the past 25 years, including: * Delayed introduction of cow's milk; * Increased use of iron-fortified formulas which has been credited with reducing the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in infants who receive formula; and * Modification of formulas by the addition of taurine, carnitine, nucleotides, and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. The use of whey-predominant rather than casein-predominant formulas also has increased over the past 25 years. Although the protein in whey-predominant formulas is more similar to human milk protein, there is no clear evidence that whey-predominant formulas provide a major benefit for infants.

Based on the exponential growth of farmers' markets, as well as farm to school, retail and other foodservice initiatives to add more locally grown products, the report estimates that locally grown foods could turn into a $7 billion business by 2011. According to the report, consumers, equating freshness with higher quality, are increasingly looking toward the perimeter departments of their local supermarkets for fresh foods, which not only include locally grown and organic fruits and vegetables, but fresh meats, seafood, dairy, and baked goods as well. According to the report, retail sales of fresh foods totaled $230 billion in 2005 and in 2006 fresh produce surpassed fresh meat as the top-selling department in perishables.
