With regard to the employment of men and women in outdoors and easy access to fast foods, the use of healthy food has changed. The aim of this study was to investigate the nutritional health of Iranian families and its changes. Methods: In this study, 120 persons in Tehran, aged from 30 to 60 were selected using available sampling method. They were still using fast food, despite being aware of the losses of using it. Cronbach's alpha of questionnaire was 0.5. Data were analyzed using SPSS 16 in two stages using quasi-experimental method. Findings: The status of prepared meals in the food program of different groups showed that employed men (58.33%) more than twice as many employed women (28%), employed single persons more than married ones, employed married women more than housewives consumed fast foods. Since the organization of a family nutrition in our culture is the responsibility of women, comparison of percentages showed that although married housewives less than any other group used fast food, in general, nearly half of the participants used ready meals despite being familiar with the losses of using fast foods. Conclusion: The present study has indicated that women are less likely than men to change food habits. The nutritional health of Iranian families is threatened and subjected to McDonaldization so that the malicious propaganda also has an impact on persuading people to eat fast foods that need to be fought. Therefore, this study explains the need for healthy policies in this regard. Family Women Health Fast food (ready meal) 2016 6 01 29 37 http://iahj.ir/article-1-117-en.pdf

Islam And Health Journal IHJ 9 10 7 2016 3 1 Mohammad Hosein Zivari Azhar hoseinzivari72@gmail.com Introduction: Emotional intelligence (EI) is one of the important topics on which today's human beings have focused, but Islam has seen human life in different dimensions many centuries ago. Islam by providing precise solutions such as self-awareness, self-improvement and self-purification invites believers to control behaviors to attain worldly and heavenly bliss. This control of internal and external behaviors is the management of EI. The aim of this study was to investigate the EI status in religious teachings with a scientific and religious approach. Methods: The present study attempted to investigate the concept and components of EI in religious and psychological teachings by relying on authentic religious texts such as the Quran as well as authentic narrative and psychology books. Findings: The interpretation of psychology and Islam is not completely identical in explaining the EI. Psychologists have used concepts for explaining which are applied as certain terms in religious teachings. Another point is that in Islam, besides worldly works and improvement of life resulting from the EI reinforcement and behavior management, there is also a special emphasis on the Hereafter works, which itself is a reason for being comprehensive view of religion. Conclusion: A careful examination of EI in psychology and Islamic teachings has revealed that Islam manages the emotions by presenting precise solutions and considers the Hereafter works in addition to worldly works.
