“…This agrees with literature for the U.K. [ Cathcart and Murray , ] and the general pattern of increasing household and retail food waste losses as incomes grow [ SIK/FAO , ]. The country average per capita protein consumption was directly applied to urban inhabitants, which is in agreement with observed small differences between rural and urban protein consumption [ Liu et al ., ; Liu , ; Qiao et al ., ; Shehu et al ., ].…”

[1] This paper presents a global model-based country-scale quantification of urban N and P mass flows from humans, animals, and industries and their waste N and P discharges to surface water and urban waste recycling in agriculture. Agricultural recycling was practiced commonly in early twentieth century Europe, Asia, and North America. During the twentieth century, global urban discharge to surface water increased~3.5-fold to 7.7 Tg yr -1 for N and~4.5-fold to 1.0 Tg yr -1 for P; the major part of this increase occurred between 1950 and 2000. Between 1900 and~1940, industrial N and P flows dominated global surface water N and P loadings from urban areas; since~1940, human wastes are the major source of urban nutrient discharge to both surface water and agricultural recycling. During the period 1900-2000, total global recycling of urban nutrients in agriculture increased from 0.4 to 0.6 Tg N yr -1 and from 0.07 to 0.08 Tg P yr -1. A large number of factors (the major ones related to food consumption, urban population, sewer connection, and industrial emissions) contribute to the uncertainty of À18% to +42% for N and À21% to +45% for P around the calculated surface water loading estimate for 2000.

“…Lifestyles are patterns of behavioral choices made from the alternative that are available to people according to their socioeconomic circumstances and to the ease with which they are able to choose certain ones over others. Lifestyles are the "behavior of choice" which affect one's fitness and health status (Shehu, et al, 2010). The prevalence of obesity continues to increase in Nigeria particularly among civil servants.…”

Descriptive research design of survey method was adopted. The population for this study comprised all Civil servants in the area . Systematic sampling technique was used to select 10% of the population. A researcher designed structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from the respondent. A reliability coefficient of 0.65 was obtained through Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). Four null hypotheses were tested using inferential statistics of Chi-square at 0.05 alpha level. The result revealed that Cardiovascular health, Muscular endurance, Body composition, Flexibility as a result of exercise significantly influenced lifestyle among civil servants in Ilorin East Local Government positively. It was concluded that health benefits of exercise on lifestyle among Civil servants in Ilorin East. Local Government were significantly influenced by cardiovascular health, muscular endurance, body composition and flexibility as a result of exercise. Therefore, it was recommended that Civil servants should be encouraged to participate in exercise to improve their cardiovascular health.
