Are There Health Downsides To Vegetarian Diets?
It's becoming more popular to eat meat-free at least part of the time.
While about 4% of Americans are full-time vegetarians, with about half of those also vegan, a recent poll by the Vegetarian Resource Group found that 46% of respondents say they always or sometimes eat vegetarian meals when dining out. The top reason? Health.
Although vegetarian eating does have a stellar health reputation, recent news has focused on what could be bad about vegetarian diets and more stringent vegan plans, including reports of stroke risk, harms to brain health, hair loss, and depression.
So, are there downsides to these supposedly healthy eating patterns?
"For generally healthy people, I don't see any reason that eating a vegetarian diet is risky to health," says ...
A man had seizures after eating hot pot. Turns out he had tapeworms in his brain
(CNN)A 46-year-old construction worker in China suffering from seizures turned out to have tapeworms in his brain -- suspected to be the result of eating undercooked meat.
About a month ago, Zhu (a pseudonym for the patient), from Luzhou, in eastern Zhejiang province, bought pork and mutton to cook in a spicy hot pot broth, according to a report published last week by the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University.
A few days later, he began to feel dizzy, and suffered headaches during the day, the report said. During the night, while he was sleeping, Zhu would experience seizure-like symptoms, similar to epilepsy.
Zhu's coworkers found him during such a seizure, and quickly sent him to a nearby hospital, where a CT scan showed ...
Why we need fibre — and how we can get more of it
It’s estimated that most Canadians only consume about half the amount of recommended daily fibre
Fibre is known to be an important part of a nutritious diet, yet most of us are notoriously bad at getting enough of it. It’s estimated that most Canadians only consume about half the amount of recommended daily fibre. But why is it an important part of our diet?
WHAT IS FIBRE?
Fibre is a carbohydrate found exclusively in plant-based foods such as vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts and legumes. The nutrient exists in two different forms: soluble and insoluble, and most foods have a combination of both. The former dissolves in water to become a gel-like paste and is found in oats, peas, beans and citrus fruits, to name ...
Head and neck injuries due to cellphone use are rising, according to study
A recent study has found an increase in cellphone injuries, including facial cuts, bruises and fractures. The study, published early Dec 2019, found a spike in U.S. emergency room treatment for these mostly minor injuries.
The research was led by a facial plastic surgeon whose patients include a woman who broke her nose when she dropped her phone on her face. Dr. Boris Paskhover, of Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, said his experience treating patients with cellphone injuries prompted him to look into the problem.
Paskhover and others analyzed 20 years of emergency room data and found an increase in cellphone injuries starting after 2006, around the time when the first smartphones were introduced.
Some injuries were caused by phones themselves, including people getting hit ...

High-Protein Diet May Help Reduce Fatty Liver Risks - Experts Reveal
By Somdatta Saha
It is a well-known fact that protein lays the foundation stone for a healthy and fit body. One of the three important macro-nutrients (other two being carbs and fats), protein helps build and repair muscle strength and body mass. It also keeps one full for a longer period of time, aiding weight loss and metabolism. Hence, health experts often recommend protein-rich food as a part of one's healthy diet regime. Adding to the list of the benefits, a new study has found that it may help reduce the risks of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study was published in the journal Liver International.
Dubbed to be one of the most common chronic liver diseases ...
Fixyfood peanuts
Health Benefits
In addition to being every kid's (and many grownup kid's) favorite sandwich filling, peanuts pack a serious nutritional punch and offer a variety of health benefits.
Your Heart Will Go Nuts for Peanuts
Peanuts are rich in monounsaturated fats, the type of fat that is emphasized in the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet. Studies of diets with a special emphasis on peanuts have shown that this little legume is a big ally for a healthy heart. In one such randomized, double-blind, cross-over study involving 22 subjects, a high monounsaturated diet that emphasized peanuts and peanut butter decreased cardiovascular disease risk by an estimated 21% compared to the average American diet.
In addition to their monounsaturated fat content, peanuts feature an array of other ...
We must learn that brown fruit is not bad fruit
We tend to avoid choosing apples with brown spots, assuming that they taste bad. But if we are to end food waste, we'll need to upend that assumption. Researcher emphasizes that there's nothing wrong with oddly shaped or slightly bruised apples.
Which bananas end up in your shopping basket -- the uniformly yellow ones or those with brown spots?
If you are like most people, you skip the spotted ones and select those that are perfectly yellow. This is because emotions play an an oversized role in our shopping decisions, according to a new study by Danish and Swedish researchers.
"We choose food based upon an expectation of what it will taste like that is bound to our feelings. So, if we ...
Is Rice & Beans Good for You?
What you should know about the nutrition in this simple dish
Rice and beans, a classic comfort food combo in Latino and Caribbean communities and some parts of the American South, is one of the healthiest dishes you can eat. It's rich in plant protein—12 grams per cup—and it provides nutrients that most Americans don’t get enough of.
Top among them is fiber. One cup of white rice and beans has 10 grams of fiber, mostly supplied by the beans. Compare that with a cup of chicken and rice, which has less than 1 gram.
“A diet that’s high in fiber helps regulate blood sugar and prevent certain types of cancer,” says Michelle Schelske-Santos, Ph.D., a professor in the nutrition and dietetics program at ...
The Many Health Benefits of Beans
These nutrient-packed foods are key contributors to lasting weight loss and good health.
Though the term “superfood” is applied to many foods these days, beans really may be deserving of the title. In addition to being inexpensive (dried beans can cost just pennies per serving), they’re full of nutrients, including copper, folate, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc, as well as protein and fiber.
One study found that eating beans four times per week reduced heart disease risk by 22 percent. Another showed that bean eaters may be less likely to develop type 2 diabetes and may have better blood sugar control if they do have the disease.
“Beans promote good health and can be used many ways, including in soups, salads, dips, and ...
The health benefits of soya
High in protein and a popular plant-based meat and dairy alternative, soya is the world's most widely cultivated legume. Nutritionist Jo Lewin shares nutritional highlights, recent research and recipes.
An introduction to soya
Like other beans, the soya bean (Glycine max) grows in pods enclosing edible seeds. They are usually green but can be yellow, brown or black. The texture is so adaptable that soya beans are frequently processed into a variety of foods. Soya beans – also known as edamame beans when eaten fresh from the pod – are consumed as an alternative to meat. They are the basis of soya milk, tofu, miso, tempeh and soya protein.
