"Dressing—Want a Bit of Ben & Jerry’s With Your Salad?

Usually the biggest culprit in transforming your salad from healthful to harmful is your Salad Dressing.

Most salad dressings are made up of oil. And oil can literally ruin all the benefits of your delicious, nutrition-packed bowl of greens.

Did you know…?

Oil is the most calorie-dense food there is, so even small amounts can have a big impact on your diet.

Most oils contain 100 calories or more per tablespoon. That extra virgin olive oil you thought was so healthy weighs in at 120 empty calories per tablespoon and 14 grams of fat...

Registered Dietitian Jeff Novick calls olive oil a nutrient-deficient “junk food.“ He notes that most people wouldn’t dream of topping off their salad with Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, yet 2 tablespoons of olive oil have more calories than a 1/2 cup of most regular ice creams!

If you eat salads 5 days a week, with just 2 tablespoons of an olive oil-based dressing, that adds up to more than 1,000 extra calories and 50 grams of fat!"

A study was conducted to assess the nutritional status of CKD patients visiting Dr. B. R. A. Memorial hospital & Pt. J. N. M. medical College Raipur (c.g.) .A total of 50 subject from both sexes having means age 49.61+_15.28 years undergoing hem dialysis were enrolled for the study. Information regarding disease history and associates co morbidities were collected from patients files. nutritional status was assessed by anthropometric measurements using body mass index (BMI).the biochemical results including kidney profile , serum electrolytes and hemoglobin were recorded from the patient's file. Dietary data was obtained by using 24- hour dietary recall and food frequency questionnaire. the results indicated that age, familial predisposition, hypertension, diabetes and heart disease increased the risk for renal failure. Protein-energy wasting (PEW) is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). PEW is one of the strongest predictors of mortality in patients with CKD. The International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism (ISRNM) expert panel has defined PEW as a, 'œstate of decreased body stores of protein and energy fuels (body protein and fat masses)'. The ISRNM panel has also proposed diagnostic criteria of PEW with four categories. Cachexia is a severe form of PEW. The proposed causes of PEW are multi-factorial and include nutritional and non-nutritional mechanisms. The literature indicates that PEW can be mitigated or corrected with an appropriate diet and enteral nutritional support that targets dietary protein intake. Dietary requirements and enteral nutritional support must also be considered in patients with CKD and diabetes mellitus and in children with CKD, in addition to dialysis patients. Features of ideal dietary supplement have also been discussed. Dietary interventions such as enteral feeding with high-protein meals or supplements might improve the nutritional status and outcomes in dialysis patients.
