Whereas in the previous species have been introduced with historical background and a discussion of the early, most important finds, and the individuals responsible for the species designation, this introduction will focus on some of the theory implicit in the discussion of the origin and spread of H. Others (such as Milford Wolpoff), take the view that our species extends as far as approximately 2. H. There are two polarizing camps on the issue of our species origin (though there is varying degrees of compromise between the two stances as well as various alternative positions): the multiregional (or continuity) camp, and the Out of Africa (replacement) camp. The perspective of multiregionalists is that extending to the origin of H. In this scenario, the Chinese and Indonesian material are the most direct ancestors of modern East Asians, the African material are the most direct ancestors of modern Africans, and that either the European populations are the most direct ancestors of modern Europeans, or that the European populations contributed significant genetic material to modern Europeans, with most of modern Europeans origins rooted in Africa or West Asia. Adherents to this model look at early material and try to trace continuity in morphology from those early populations to later populations in the same geographic area. In this model, there are paralleled changes in all penecontemporary populations, with enough genetic migration to maintain close species bonds, while still allowing the suite of racial features we see today. The perspective of the Out of Africa model (often called Out of Africa II, referring to a second migration from Africa of a hominid population) adherents is that when there was a migration of H. At approximately 2. Africa. This time it was fully modern H. Some see direct competition and extermination of the native populations, some see passive replacement due to better adaptive strategies, and some see genetic admixture with the preponderance of genetic material coming from the incoming human populations, eventually replacing and assimilating them into the greater collective. In this view there is a specific speciation event that occurred which led to the origin of H. Multiregionalists look for similarities between populations in the same geographic location that are separated spatially, while people who follow replacement look for differences. It is oft a difference of semantics between different interpretations rather than real differences of opinion, but often there is real disagreement on the validity of research, and theoretical interpretations. This has led to some fairly severe strife within the paleoanthropological community, with potshots often taken unfairly at rival theories and rival theoreticians. For example, multiregionalism is often portrayed as a racist theory that claims different “races” have evolved to different “levels” of intelligence. Out of Africa II has often been portrayed as a religiously motivated idea that tries to come to terms with the biblical story of Genesis, as reference to the “Eve” theory suggests. Beyond disagreement over fundamental issues like “What is a valid speciation event?” one fact stands out: neither theory has proved itself above the other in terms of parsimonious explanation of the fossil evidence. The general opinion among researchers seems to go in cycles, supporting Oo. A, then supporting MRE, then supporting Oo. A, etc. Currently, we seem to be at a cusp of support for replacement, and there seems top be a shifting in opinion more favorable to continuity. The highly publicized genetic studies that purportedly “proved” that Neanderthals did not contribute the modern human genome are so plagued with practical and theoretical problems to make their conclusions moot, especially since it does not in any way address the rest of the populations in the world, and their genetic fate. Diagnostic Features. Europe. No part of these descriptions will favor one camp over the other; this being said, multiregionists have a very valid criticism of the supposed lack of any evidence of continuity between earlier and later fossil groups in geographic regions. This certainly holds true for Europe, where the perceived differences between the earlier Neanderthal populations and later “modern” H. There are many sites which are attributed to what are called “early modern humans” are not always particularly older than “fully” modern humans, nor later than Neanderthal sites. As discoveries have continued over the last century Neanderthals are now clearly associated with Upper Paleolithic sites, and “modern” humans are no longer an Upper Paleolithic phenomenon. The history of the interpretation of the European fossil record is marred by the fact that early attempts to demonstrate continuity by researchers such as A. Hrdlicka and G. Schwalbe were troubled by misdated specimens and faulty reconstructions, while early attempts to demonstrate replacement were based on the Piltdown hoax and the misdated Galley Hill material. These problematic foregrounds for further interpretation were also built upon by the faulty “type” approach of early paleoanthropologists, where La Chapelle was seen as a typical Neanderthal specimen and Cro- Magnon was seen as a typical early modern human. In fact, these two specimens are significantly atypical. Simple replacement and continuity models are beginning to fall apart, as the lines between earlier and later populations blurs in some respects and becomes more demarked in others. Two major lines of thinking exist regarding the origins of modern humans in Europe: Neanderthals contributed some amount of significant genetic material to later modern human populations, or they did not. There are three major lines of evidence arguing for continuity, including: The evolution of the pre- Neanderthal and Neanderthal populations over time is in the direction of modern European populations. These trends include: anterior dental reduction, reduced nasal size, increased central and decreased lateral browridge height, and more developed mental eminences. European Neanderthals show a number of unique or especially common features with later Europeans, with lower frequency of expression in modern European populations. No other penecontemporary population shares unique features with the later Europeans. While some may argue the third point, it is not clearly correct or incorrect, and the first two points are definite. In contrast, the evidence for lack of continuity is expressed in the following points: Early modern Europeans show limb proportions that are closely linked to warm- adapted African populations, and not with European Neanderthals. Genetic evidence in the form of mt. DNA studies purporting to show evidence of Neanderthal and modern human divergence at approximately 7. DNA variation in African populations, which is claimed evidence for African origin of modern humans. Behavioral differences between the Neanderthals and early modern humans in both absolute traits and complexity. The genetic evidence is very suspect, and the theoretical and practical problems with such undertakings will continue to place such evidence as circumstantial at best for at least the next five to ten years. The behavioral evidence is an old one, and is crumbling into dust as paleoanthropology enters the 2. There likely were some behavioral differences between Neanderthal and later modern human populations, but there are many traits and sites linking the behaviors as developing – at least in part – from the former to the later. The limb proportion evidence, however, seems unmistakable. There was an influx of either populations or genetics into Europe with an African origin, though whether as a replacing invasion or a migration, with or without assimilation it is up in the air. Very possibly occurringat this time was assimilation of the Neanderthal populations with incoming early modern humans, with differential representation in the resulting genome on the modern human side. It is difficult to believe that the Neanderthal traits would evolve into the modern form without significant contribution of genes for more gracile features. And the limb proportion argument cannot be resolved without a migration of Africans either bodily or genetically. A description of European H. Discoveries of material from the site began in 1. J. Tragically, the material was destroyed at the end of World War II by the Nazis, along with many other archaeological materials such as the Predmost. The fossil material is associated with an early Central European Aurignacian industry. The material dates from c. The material consists of over 1. Mladec 5,6, and 4. The male specimens are very robust, and there is significant sexual dimorphism in terms of morphological variability. The three male crania are characterized by: Low braincases. Thick cranial bones. Posterior cranial flattening forming a Neanderthal- like occipital bun. Marked spongy bone development. Thick projecting supraorbitals (shaped differently than in Neanderthals). Large cranial capacities (1. However, compared to more modern humans they are very robust, almost as robust as later Upper Paleolithic males. This population shows a reduction in the difference between male and female brain size relative to the Neanderthal condition. The females (Mladec 1 and Mladec 2) show cranial capacities of 1. This has been taken as evidence of lack of Neanderthal ancestry, as well as evidence that the Neanderthal populations were evolving into the modern form. The Mladec females show both similarities and differences from the earlier Neanderthal females, including: Larger cranial vault size. More midfacial prognathism. More anterior zygomatics. Lack a maxillary notch. A considerably narrower nose. Presence of a distinct canine fossa. As noted before, there are some marked differences between the Mladec males and females. The systematic sexual differences include: Larger cranial vaults in the males (1.

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING WITH alli ® Kudos to you! You’re on your way to a healthier weight and lifestyle. Here’s what you need to know to stay on track. If you’ve been struggling to budge the scale and you’re tempted to try it, here are the details you need to know. The diet, aimed at people wanting to lose a lot of weight, claims you’ll drop up to 1. The menu consists of three breakfasts, lunches, and “dinners” - - if you consider a cup of tuna fish or two hot dogs, plus fruit and vegetable sides, dinner. One web site that markets the diet claims it’s “chemically and enzyme balanced,” though this statement isn’t explained or supported. One thing is clear: You won’t be eating much. On Day 1, you get just 8. Days 2 and 3 aren’t much different. What You Can Eat and What You Can't. For three days, you’ll eat extremely basic meals made with foods you may already have in your kitchen. For example, breakfast on Day 1 is black coffee or water, half a grapefruit, and a slice of toast with a tablespoon of peanut butter. Lunch is half a cup of tuna, another slice of toast, and another cup of black coffee (or tea or water). If you’re looking for variety or foodie thrills, you won’t find them here. Lunch on Day 2, for instance, is nothing but a cup of cottage cheese and some saltine crackers. Sauces, dressings, and even spices are off the list. If you have a sweet tooth, though, you’ll be happy to find vanilla ice cream on the menu each day. Level of Effort: Low. ![]() ![]() The biggest effort you'll make on the diet may be stopping yourself from reaching for more food. Limitations: The menu is what it is, with no room for varied palates or eating preferences, though some web sites say you can swap tuna for cottage cheese and vice versa. Cooking and shopping: This diet is about as low- effort as it gets, short of having meals delivered to your door. Just about the only cooking involved is steaming the vegetables, unless you choose to eat them raw (either is an option). Packaged foods or meals? No. In- person meetings? No. Exercise: It's frowned on because, as one web site puts it, “you will not be feeling very energetic. It’s not low- salt, low- carb, or low- fat, either - - just low- calorie. Gluten- free: This diet includes toast and crackers, which traditionally include gluten in the wheat. You could buy gluten- free versions if you chose to, but going gluten- free is not a feature of this diet. What Else You Should Know. This diet was most likely not developed by nutrition experts. The 3 day tuna diet has been on the internet since the mid 90`s and has been known as the: 3 day 10lb diet, 3 day chemical breakdown diet, 3 days heart diet, 3 day. Does the 3 Day Diet plan work? Do the results last? Find out in this diet plan review from WebMD. Supposedly, this 3 day diet is used at the Birmingham, Alabama Hospital Cardiac Unit for patients who need to lose lots of weight in a hurry before having surgery. ![]() One web site that offers the diet includes this warning: “Neither the staff nor management of 3 Day Diets are experienced, licensed, or knowledgeable to judge or recommend the validity or safety of this diet. We do not necessarily endorse this diet and recommend that before trying this or any other diet to consult a physician or licensed medical practitioner. Use at your own risk.”When judging any diet, including this one, keep in mind two key pieces of advice from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: First, if a diet sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Second, if you can’t see yourself following the diet for the rest of your life, it’s not for you. Costs: None beyond your shopping. Support: None. This is a diet you do on your own. What Dr. Melinda Ratini Says: Does It Work? You will likely lose weight on any diet if you eat less than 9. But losing 1. 0 pounds in 3 days is both unlikely and unhealthy. To lose just 1 pound of body fat, you need to reduce your daily calories by about 5. That’s giving up 3,5. To lose 1. 0 pounds in 3 days would mean decreasing your calorie intake by 3. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends a slow and steady weight loss of no more than 1/2 to 1 pound a week. Otherwise you are losing muscle and water, as well as weakening your bones. You also are much more likely to gain it all back. Is It Good for Certain Conditions? The 3 Day Diet is low calorie, but it certainly is not low- fat, low- salt, or low cholesterol, so it is not a healthy option for most people with certain medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and high cholesterol. If you are overweight, weight loss is key to managing these conditions. But it should be a healthy and sustainable weight loss that includes healthy nutrition and exercise. The Final Word. The 3 Day Diet is a very low- calorie diet that uses simple foods that are low cost and easy to find and prepare. A short- term weight loss is likely. But that is where the good news ends. During the 3 days of the diet, balanced nutrition is lacking. Some of the foods that are recommended are high in salt and fat and would not be appropriate for people with certain medical problems like heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. You may not be getting enough vitamins, minerals, and fiber while you are on the diet. If you are taking medicine for your diabetes and want to try the 3- day diet, it's important to talk with your doctor first about how to adjust your medicine. Physical activity is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and helps prevent and treat heart disease and diabetes. But the 3 Day Diet does not address this at all. Nor does it teach you how to make changes in your diet that will allow for a lifetime of healthy eating. Finally, such a restrictive diet takes the enjoyment out of eating. During the 3 days a week that you are following the plan, eating out or with others could be very tough. Also, boring diets are very hard to maintain. The temptation to overeat on the other 4 days of the week when you are not dieting will likely be high. Remember, when it comes to weight loss, slow and steady really does win the race.

Breast milk or formula. Continue offering your baby breast milk or formula until she is at least one year of age. If you want to encourage her to eat more table foods, only offer her a bottle or cup after she has eaten her meal or snack. Aim for feeding your baby at roughly the same times everyday to build consistency and good eating habits, but do not worry if she is eating a few minutes before or after the times you chose to serve meals. It is perfectly normal for babies to eat quite a bit one day and hardly anything the next day, but rest assured that if you offer her plenty of food, she will get what she needs. Baby Led Weaning Meal Ideas: 8 Months Old. For more detailed information on Baby Led Weaning, please check out my book and for more general baby/toddler and children’s food topics, click here for Munchkin Meals! We started baby led weaning with Kaitlyn at 6 months old. She started with big pieces of food that were easy to grasp, like baked sweet potato sticks and steamed broccoli. At 7 months old she was getting more proficient and I started giving her smaller pieces of food to play with. Her pincer grip developed quickly with all the practice and now at 8 months, she prefers mostly smaller pieces. I find she gets more down the hatch this was too. At 8 months old, Kaitlyn eats at least two meals a day, sometimes three. Her meal times are all over the place, but generally she eats about an hour after nursing. For this Munchkin Meals, I wanted to give you a look into what typical meals look like for Kaitlyn! Scrambled egg, avocado and homemade bread with a thin schmear of cream cheese. Frozen blueberries, shredded chicken and avocado. Lentils, avocado and red pepper strips? I put forth a solid effort to include fat at each of Kaitlyn’s meals. It’s great for brain development and packing in as many nutrient- dense calories as possible. I use avocado a lot, but also olives, butter, olive oil, full fat yogurt, meat, egg yolks and cheese. Shredded chicken, pear slices and sliced black olives. French toast and banana ! She can pick out all the other food pieces around it and leave the banana untouched. Baked sweet potato pieces (this recipe is a favorite!), black beans and steamed broccoli. Lentils, diced grape tomatoes and zucchini sauteed in olive oil. Crockpot pulled pork and frozen peas. Ground beef, cooked and dipped in guacamole with steamed broccoli. And when all else fails, serve spaghetti! Now share away? Want to share what your kids are eating?

What Are Some Accessories And/Or Pieces Of Workout Equipment That Are Often Overlooked When Setting Up A Home Gym? One of the most versatile pieces of equipment that is often overlooked when making a home gym would be a nice upright abs rack. It seems odd that you can ask any guy what body part they would most like to have completely ripped and muscular and they will say abs, but when you look at their home gym all they have is a barbell set. Now sure they can get an excellent set of legs, pecs, arms and back with that, but what they really want is ABS! That being said .. Depending on your budget, it can be expanded from there to approach the variability that a traditional gym has (including dumbbells, a smith machine, rowing machine, etc.) An upright abs rack will set you back 2.

The best home gym workout is one that is able to incorporate the equipment you have, however limited, in a way that allows you to get a workout comparable to those who train in gyms. It's basically a matter of making the most of what you have. Now, we will take each muscle group one by one and lay out a variety of exercises you can do at home which will allow for the best home gym workouts without the worry of requiring equipment that could only be found in large gyms. Legs: Squats are probably the best exercise you can do for the quads, but if you're working out at home then you will find it difficult to do this exercise. As I mentioned above, it is not advisable to hoist a bar over your head and start squatting. This is an easy way to incur a serious injury. Lunges provide the best alternative to squats as they can safely and effectively stimulate the quads as well as the hamstrings secondarily. When working out at home, they should always be done with dumbbells and not a barbell. There are two options for performing lunges, both of which are greatly effective. In the space where you have your home gym set up you can simply perform stationary lunges, either working one leg at a time or alternating legs between each lunge. The second option will require that you have some extra space such as a driveway or a backyard with level ground. Here you can do the walking lunge, alternating each leg and moving forward down the driveway or through the backyard. This lunging method is particularly effective, and if done properly, will leave your legs burning as much as heavy squatting. When it comes to the hamstrings, you have at your disposal a effective exercise that requires the minimum amount of equipment: the stiff- legged deadlift (SLDL). All that is required is a pair of dumbbells and just a small area to work with. Don't use too much weight with this exercise. If it is done improperly it can result in injury to the lower back. Choose a weight that you can complete for at least 1. In order to put more focus on the hamstring and reduce lower back involvement, do not lock your knees. Despite the name, there should be a slight bend in the knees. As you lower the weight slowly down below your knees, keep your glutes tense. Lift the weight up slowly and do not lock out at the top of the movement. Calves: Without the equipment you find in gyms, working the calves can be slightly more difficult than most other muscle groups. The calves can often be worked with a heavy load because they are used so frequently in daily activities such as walking. Since you likely don't have a machine and hundreds of pounds of weight you will need to improvise in order to get an effective calf workout. The best way to do this is to perform one- legged calf raises with heavy dumbbells. You may need to lean against a wall to keep from losing your balance. Standing on one leg and lifting up on your toes with heavy dumbbells can be tricky. The support of a wall can help you keep your balance while handling an intense work load. Chest: If you do not have a spotter on hand, I recommend you forego barbell bench presses and use heavy dumbbells for presses. This way if the weight becomes too heavy you can drop the dumbbells to the side. If a barbell becomes too heavy, it is a much greater problem. With dumbbells and a bench you can perform heavy presses as well as flyes, which serve as a great finishing movement for the chest. Another chest exercise that many people have unfortunately disregarded is the basic push- up. As simple as it is, this is a great exercise to follow up with after presses. Do one set to failure after presses in order to make sure you have fully stimulated the chest. Hard. Knock. NES's Home Gym. Biceps: This muscle group can be easily be worked with very little equipment. There are so many exercises that can be used, you are virtually unlimited. Barbell curls, alternating dumbbell curls, hammer curls, concentration curls, and reverse curls are a few basic bicep exercises that can be done with nothing more than a dumbbell and a barbell. Triceps: Although there may not be as many exercises available to the home trainer as biceps, there is still a sufficient number of tricep exercises to keep this muscle group stimulated. Lying tricep extensions, also known as skull crushers, can be done with a barbell and a bench. However, whenever you are lying on a bench with a barbell, you should make sure you use a weight that is completely controllable. Don't try to go too heavy on these or you risk the chance of reaching failure and being unable to get the barbell under control. A great alternative is to use two dumbbells instead of a barbell. In addition to lying triceps extensions, you can perform triceps kickbacks and overhead triceps extensions with dumbbells. If you work triceps with chest then close- grip pushups are a great alternative to close- grip bench presses which are not recommended for anyone training at home without a spotter. Shoulders: Shoulders are another exercise that can be worked with minimal equipment. Like biceps, practically everything you need can be found in your home gym. Arnold presses, barbell military presses (with a controllable weight), and side lateral raises are some of the most effective shoulder exercises which can all be done at home. Equipment. Do You Think One Would Achieve Better Results From Using Equipment At Home Or At The Gym? In terms of equipment, there is no doubt that what you find in a gym will be vastly superior to what you likely have at home. Most people who workout at home are on a budget in terms of what types of equipment they can purchase. In addition, they probably have a limited amount of space to keep that equipment. That said, there are numerous benefits from home training that may make it more effective in the gym. There are few if any distractions in your own home gym. No one is hogging the equipment you want to use and forcing you to wait or pass up on an exercise you need to finish your workout. There are no members of the opposite sex who might lead you to show off and do more than you should be doing. You can train without a shirt on .. The CKD Non- Dialysis Diet - Da. Vita. What is a CKD non- dialysis diet? A CKD non- dialysis diet is for people diagnosed with an early stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD). There are 5 stages of CKD—stages 1 through 4 are before dialysis is needed, and stage 5 is when dialysis or a kidney transplant is required. ![]() Over time, CKD damages the kidneys’ ability to filter waste and excess fluid from the body. Your kidneys will become less effective at doing their jobs, and you will become ill. The CKD non- dialysis diet is designed to help the kidneys keep as much of their remaining function for as long as possible. This diet also helps reduce the buildup of excess fluid and waste products. What can I eat? On the CKD non- dialysis diet, your renal dietitian will make sure you’re on an eating plan that’s best suited for your size, symptoms, stage of CKD, age, activity level and other health conditions. Stage 3 Kidney Diet PlanThis plan will feature a prescribed amount of high- quality protein, carbohydrates and fats. What can’t I eat? Your dietitian will adjust the amount of carbohydrates, protein and fat you can eat in a day. Ask for our free educational brochures on diet and kidney disease. Nutrition and Chronic Kidney Disease (stages 1-4) Dialysis. Transplantation. A Diet Plan for CKD Stage 3 2013-10-25 15:42. Reasonable diet plan is important for patients at CKD stage 3 to slow down the progression to the next stage. For people with diabetes who have kidney disease, it is essential to follow a diet that takes your individual health needs into account. Depending on those. On the CKD non- dialysis diet, eating less protein is recommended. Eating more nutritious carbohydrates, such as those found in grains, fruits and vegetables, is encouraged. Healthy fats such as canola and olive oil may be increased for added calories. At stages 3 and 4 CKD your protein intake may be limited. The amount depends on your body size and kidney function. Although you may be instructed to eat more carbohydrates and fats to meet your calorie needs, those with little nutritive value (e. If you have other health conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol or high blood pressure, you may be advised to eat less sugar, saturated fat and salt. Why do I have to eat this way? The goal of the CKD non- dialysis diet is to preserve existing kidney function to delay the later stages of CKD, particularly stage 5. How does this diet help? Lowering your protein intake will allow your kidneys to work with less waste buildup. When you eat protein, your body creates protein waste products, which are eliminated from the body through urine. Damaged kidneys have a difficult time getting rid of protein waste products. Stage 3 Kidney Disease Diet![]() Cutting back on protein means kidneys process less protein waste and are able to work without additional stress. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can worsen kidney disease and cancel out the benefits of a restricted protein diet. Choosing foods low in sodium can help manage this condition and help keep kidneys healthy. Taking blood pressure medicines prescribed by your doctor will also help. If you have diabetes, blood glucose control is important to help preserve kidney function. Studies have shown that keeping glucose levels normal helps delay the development and slow progression of kidney disease. What about fluid intake? In the early stages of CKD, you can drink your normal amount of fluid. If you notice swelling, this may be a sign of fluid retention from eating high- sodium foods or decreased kidney function. Your doctor and renal dietitian will adjust your diet and medications as needed. How long do I have to follow the CKD non- dialysis diet? You will need to follow the CKD non- dialysis diet as long as your doctor and dietitian recommend. Instead of ingesting small amounts of carbohydrates around your workouts, the cyclical ketogenic diet devotes one to two FULL days of high carbohydrate consumption in. Kidney function is severely decreased to only 15-29% of normal function in Stage 4 CKD and Diabetes. Diet is an essential part of treatment. You need to have a kidney-friendly meal plan when you have chronic kidney disease. Learn about healthy diet basics and get kidney-healthy recipes. How do I know if the CKD non- dialysis diet is working? If you have early stage kidney disease, you may not notice any changes to the way you feel on the CKD non- dialysis diet. This is because the earliest stages lack obvious physical symptoms. You may not have even felt ill when you were first diagnosed. If you had symptoms like swelling, you will notice the diet helps improve your symptoms. The best indicator that the diet is working will come from your lab results. If I follow the CKD non- dialysis diet will my kidneys keep working? The CKD non- dialysis diet can help slow the progression of kidney disease. The diet, however, is not a cure for kidney disease, nor can it reverse the damage already done. There may come a point in the disease when your kidneys will stop working. Following the CKD non- dialysis diet and your doctor’s advice may help delay that from happening. By not following the CKD non- dialysis diet, however, your kidneys may lose function more quickly and advance to the later stages of kidney disease. ![]() ![]() |
