25.01.2022 THE EFFECT OF PROCESSING AND PREPARATION ON THE NUTRITIONAL CONTENT OF FOODS Even if you eat a "perfect diet," are you sure youre getting everything you think you are from your food? Its a good question, and one you probably havent asked recentlyor maybe at all. How does freezing, cooking, drying, and reheating affect the nutritional content of food? What about grilling? Should you cook your vegetables, or eat them raw?... Many of the nutrients in foods you eat are affected in different ways by the method of storage, processing, preparation, and cooking. Did you know that you lose as much as 80 percent of the vitamin C content of a fruit when it is dried? There are exceptions, too. Cooking improves the bioavailability of carotenoids from foods. Cooked carrots, spinach, mushrooms, asparagus, cabbage, peppers, and many other vegetables supply more nutrients than when theyre raw. That means you get more carotenoids and ferulic acid. However, it is also true that cooking destroys much of the vitamin C and polyphenol content. Another important carotenoid, lycopene, is also more bioavailable when the food source is cooked and processed. Tomato paste contains much more usable lycopene than raw tomatoes. Broccoli provides more of certain healthy nutrients when cooked, and more of other healthy compounds when raw. There isnt a single best way to prepare, store, process, or cook your food. As always, it comes down to variety and moderation. The best way to ensure you harvest maximum benefits from your diet is to eat a variety of the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables no matter how theyre prepared. And the more ways you make them delicious and enticing to you, the more likely you are to eat fruits and vegetables. Here is a very informative page on the nutritional effects of food processing. http://nutritiondata.self.com/topics/processing #Gylcc

22.01.2022 Myth: Synthetic minerals are just rocks, and the body cant absorb them Essential dietary minerals are naturally inorganic elements, so there is really no such ...thing as a synthetic mineral. In general, an organic compound is defined as any compound containing carbon, although there are rare exceptions. Most minerals are very reactive in isolation, so they are attached to salts or organic compounds (ie. citrate, gluconate, aspartate) for stability. Once digested they are the same mineral whether from a plant, a piece of meat, or sea salt or water. The minerals in sea salt and water (ie. sodium, calcium, magnesium) are all inorganic, and of course are usable by the body. The claim that minerals must be organic or from plants to be usable by the body makes little sense. Nearly all published research on supplemental minerals over the past 50 years has utilized standard inorganic mineral forms. If they werent bioavailable, where did all the information on mineral nutrition come from? Of course, you dont eat rocks to get your dietary mineral intake. Plants get their minerals from rocks (soil, ash, natural fertilizer, etc), which we then consume. But just because we mechanically crush, mine and purify the minerals from rocks to use in food and supplements doesnt make the mineral any different than what you are getting when you eat the plant. The mineral itself is exactly the same. Another example to illustrate the point is iron. People that have a difficult time getting enough iron in their diet can cook spaghetti sauce or another acidic food in a cast iron pot or skillet to increase their dietary iron intake. The same iron that makes up the cast iron cookware is the same iron the body uses for red blood cell health. The quality of the food or supplement, and overall nutrient intake in healthful amounts, is far more important than the original source of the mineral.

09.01.2022 The Connection Between Sleep and Appetite Sleeping and eating are intricately related. Short-term lack of sleep has often been considered harmless, with no long...-term consequences. But according to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, thats not totally true. Even short-term sleep deprivation was shown to impact appetite-regulating hormones leptin and ghrelin. And it can lead to weight gain.

08.01.2022 Fiber Isn’t Just for Grown-Ups Most adults don’t get enough fiber in their diet. But if kids aren’t eating right, it can be a real challenge for them, too. Fibe...r keeps the digestive tract healthy and strong. Foods that are good sources of fiber are usually rich in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. A diet rich in nutrients and fiber reduces the risk of obesity and can give a child a health advantage throughout life. Here are a couple of easy ways to check your child’s fiber intake: Five A Day. The simplest way to ensure your child is getting plenty of fiber is making sure they eat five servings of fruits and vegetables each day. If they consistently get foods that are good sources of fiber, it isn’t really necessary to keep track of fiber intake. Add Five. If it is more helpful to keep track of numbers, just add five to your child’s age for a minimum fiber target. For example, an 8-year-old would need about 13 grams of fiber each day. Add five for a minimum and 10 for a healthy target range. A 5-year-old should get between 10 and 15 grams per day. Fiber rich foods include: Vegetablesspinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, green beans, and sweet potatoes Fruitraspberries, blackberries, apples, pears, oranges, bananas, guava, and kiwi Beans/Peaslentils, pinto beans, lima beans, chickpeas, and green peas Nuts/Seedsalmonds, pistachios, sunflower seeds, pecans, and pumpkin seeds Whole-grain breads and cereals Check for fiber content on the label of your food. Dietary fiber is a nutrient listed under Total Carbohydrates on a Nutrition Facts panel. A good source of fiber will contain at least three grams of fiber per serving. If you don’t have a Nutrition Facts label, you can look up the fiber content of your food here: https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/nutrients/index America Academy of Pediatrics https://healthychildren.org/

02.01.2022 Diet Tips for Menopause There are dozens of recognized symptoms associated with the transition to menopause and actual menopause! Fortunately, most women will n...ever experience every symptom. And since no two women are exactly alike, some women may experience few, if any, symptoms. Menopause is not a disease and doesnt typically require any medical intervention. But, its important to be aware of a few health risks associated with menopause. The risk of heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis all increase after the onset of menopause. Along with a healthy lifestyle and regular medical check-ups, a wholesome diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fatty fish, and lean meats can make a big difference to your physical well-being. In addition, here are a few diet tips that can help support your health during menopause: Look for Omega-3-Rich Foods Research has linked adequate omega-3s in the diet with healthy mental function and mood. The brain particularly loves DHA. This key omega-3 fat comprises 50 percent, by weight, of some brain cells. Get Your Legumes Beans and lentils are super healthy foods that offer several benefits to women going through perimenopause or menopause. The combination of high fiber and protein help keep blood sugar stable longer after meals and snacks. This provides a nice buffer against the mood swings that many peri-menopausal women describe. They are also great sources of B vitamins, which are needed for proper hormone balance. Think About Adding Some Soy Some evidence suggests that soy might help thanks to the phytoestrogens that soybeans contain. Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring plant compounds that can mimic the bodys estrogen by binding to certain estrogen receptors. This potentially helps your body ease through the loss of your own source of estrogen. Calcium and Vitamin D Get two to four servings of calcium-rich foods a day. Good sources are: low-fat dairy products, fish with bones (such as sardines and canned salmon), broccoli, leafy greens, and legumes. Aim for 1,200 mg of calcium and at least 800 IU (20 mcg) of vitamin D per day. You cant totally avoid menopause. But practicing a healthy lifestyle and eating a healthy diet can support better long-term health. And possibly make the transition to menopause less challenging. https://askthescientists.com/aging/

02.01.2022 How would you grade your childs diet? Do your children consistently eat all the foods and nutrients that are recommended? Do they even meet minimum recommended dietary standards during the most important time for growth and development in their lifetime? If they do, they are definitely the exception according to this government review. This review of dietary intake data has identified a number of foods and nutrients for which a notable proportion of children had intake leve...ls inconsistent with reference intake levels. Across the entire age range, the prevalence of inadequacy was very high for vitamin E, but no health consequences have been associated with these reported intakes of vitamin E. Mean intakes of potassium and fiber also were low. For both males and females ages 9 years and older, the prevalence of inadequate intakes of magnesium and vitamin A was high. Adolescent females tended to have low reported intakes of nearly all the nutrients investigated by the committee.
