...Islands, Africa, and the Caribbean, where it is available fresh, canned, or bottled. Coconuts for drinking are served fresh, chilled or packaged in many places. They are often sold by street vendors who cut them open with machetes or similar implements in front of customers. Coconut water can also be found in ordinary cans, tetra paks, or plastic bottles (sometimes with coconut pulp or coconut jelly included). Bottled coconut water has a shelf life of 24 months.[citation needed] In recent years, coconut water has been marketed as a natural energy or sports drink due to its high potassium and mineral content. Marketers have also promoted coconut water for having low levels of fat, carbohydrates, and calories. However, marketing claims attributing tremendous health benefits to coconut water are largely unfounded.[2] Unless the coconut has been damaged, it is likely sterile. There is a single documented case where coconut water has been used as an intravenous hydration fluid when where medical saline was unavailable.[3] Although this is not generally recommended by most physicians today, it was a common practice during the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia from 1975 to 1979.[4][5] ------------------------------------------------- Composition[edit] Coconut water has a high potassium content and contains antioxidants.[6] It also contains cytokinins[7] which promote plant cell division and growth.

...Management of overweight and obesity in adults The proportion of Australians who are overweight or obese has increased markedly over the past 20 years. An estimated 2.5 million Australian adults (about 1 in 5 men and 1 in 6 women) are obese and a further 4.9 million are overweight but not obese, based on 2004–2005 data. A greater proportion of premature death and illness in Australia is now caused by excess body fat than by tobacco smoking or high blood pressure.1 Unhealthy weight gain occurs when energy intake from food is greater than energy expended through physical activity. Environmental, cultural, genetic and lifestyle factors all contribute to overweight and obesity. Physical inactivity and overeating are the major modifiable contributors to the problem of obesity. GPs, practice nurses, exercise physiologists, dietitians and other health professionals can help people correct the imbalance between energy intake and expenditure by giving reliable, individually tailored advice about physical activity, sedentary behaviours and long-term patterns of healthy eating. O besity is itself a disease state, and is also a risk factor for many chronic disease conditions.

...least 135,000 jobs in the UK as a whole, about 20,000 being directly provided by soft drink companies while about 115,000 from the wider supply chain. Carbonated drinks are getting increasing universal appeal among UK consumes, with a penetration rate of about 90 percent. This is especially due to their cheap price positioning that has resulted in consistent up growth in volume since the recession. The good performance of carbonated drinks is also as a result of intense product innovation by major industry players, making the UK soft drink market a highly competitive and dynamic competitive marketplace. However, the UK soft drink market is highly sensitive to market shock waves and increasing public health concerns over the role of soft drinking in such conditions as diabetes. The industry is also negatively impacted by poor weather during the UK summer months and decreased spending power among consumers. Nonetheless, soft drinks products have continued to experience rising average selling prices as a result of rising commodity costs and kept the value growth on the high.

The mean total point score on the survey was 17.48 + 1.71. The mean score on knowledge questions on the survey was 11.59 + 3.14 or 46.3%. Females had a slightly higher mean score (12.3+ 3.03 or 49.2%) than males (10.9 + 3.13 or 43.6%) on the knowledge questions. The mean score on attitude questions was 5.89+ 1.67 or 58.9%. Females had a slightly higher mean score (6.19 + 1.53 or 61.9%) than the males (5.60 + 1.76 or 56%) on the attitude questions. A multiple regression analysis for impact of sport, gender, class rank, previous nutrition course, and eating situation on total score on the survey gave an overall R2 of 0.174 (F= 3.75, p= 0.004). There was no significant unique effect of class rank (p = 0.084), sport (p= 0.079), and eating situation (p= 0.079) for this model. The unique effect of gender (p= 0.003) and taking a nutrition course (p= 0.036) were statistically significant. Even though the proposed model was statistically significant, it did not adequately predict performance on the survey. The model predicted that females were to score 2.5 points higher on the survey than males and that those who reported taking a nutrition course in the past were to score 1.7 points lower than those who had not taken a nutrition course. This most likely reflects the relatively small...

...Marketing Management Final 3-28-2012 Coca-Cola Executive Summary This paper is a comprehensive audit of Coca-Cola's marketing program and recommendations developed for future marketing plans. I provide recommendations for Coca-Cola's marketing efforts as well as product line enhancements, as Coca-Cola faces stiff competition and changing consumer tastes. These recommendations include: • Pursuing a multi-pronged marketing strategy, including growth into geographic regions like Russia, China, and Turkey. • Leverage the company assets by brand extension into water-based, slightly sweetened refreshment drinks to meet more health-conscious consumers. • Diversify offerings outside the non-alcoholic beverage market, leveraging the vast distribution network. Introduction Coca-Cola was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8, 1886 by Dr. John Stith Pemberton, a local pharmacist. Dr. Pemberton produced the syrup for Coca-Cola®, and carried a jug of the new product down the street to Jacobs' Pharmacy, where it was sampled, pronounced "excellent" and placed on sale for five cents a glass as a soda fountain drink. Carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup to produce a drink that was at once "Delicious and Refreshing," a theme that continues to echo today wherever Coca-Cola is enjoyed. During the first year, sales averaged a modest nine drinks per day. Today, over 6 trillion servings of Coca-Cola have been enjoyed worldwide and Coca-Cola has over 400 brands...
