How to Get and Protect Your Genetic Data
By Meredith Salisbury
Maybe it was the Jolie effect. Or you want to find out if you're carrying a silent genetic mutation that could be passed on to a child. Or perhaps you're just really hoping you can blame your DNA for how awful cilantro tastes. Whatever the reason, you're interested in finding out something about your genome. Now what?
Though consumer genetic testing and personal genome sequencing are still nascent fields, every indication suggests that the public will have a virtually insatiable appetite for genetic data. And as scientists get better at establishing links between DNA and diseases or specific traits,...

The 272-Calorie Chinese Take-Out Favorite You Can Make At Home (VIDEO)
When many of us have a craving for Chinese food, we reach for the takeout or delivery menu and try to choose among our favorite dishes. It certainly makes for a cozy night in, but, according to registered dietician and author Sharon Palmer, there's something you may be overlooking when it comes to ordering Chinese food.
"Many Asian restaurants can pack in the calories through the oils and all these salty sauces we add," Palmer tells #OWNSHOW in the above video. "In fact, some vegetarian meals that you might think might be healthy could have over 1,000 calories -- and that's not even including the rice, which can add anoth...

The Real Healthy Juice
Since I wrote to you about my daily ortho-nutritional smoothie, many people have written to me asking me about juicing and fruit juice.
They still wonder if they can get healthy juice from a carton.
After all, the giant food manufacturers are constantly coming up with new “tropical,” “vegetable blend” and “fruit” juices. And they all claim to be “healthy” for you.
You can drink health-enhancing juice, but you can’t get it from a carton.
And it’s not fruit juice.
The problem with fruit juice is it’s too high on the glycemic index, those juices tend to be pasteurized, which takes away all the nutrients,...

Eat The Enemy: As Jellyfish Bloom, So Do Appetites Overseas
This story is part of "Eat The Enemy," a HuffPost series on edible invasive species, non-native plants and animals you can help contain from the comfort of your dinner table. Not all invasive species are edible, and some included in this series can be dangerous, including lionfish and wild boar. Please take caution when foraging or hunting for your own food.
It's no secret that climate change is a problem for ocean dwellers. Coral reefs are suffering, mollusks are losing their skeletons and fish really don't like it hot. The seas are changing. Yet for one gelatinous creature, the deader the oceans get, the better.

You're Eating Fish All Wrong
By Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD
Eating fish has been tied with lower rates of heart disease, stroke, depression and Alzheimer's disease. But how you eat it may be the real key to reaping its benefits. Recent research from University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine concluded that study volunteers who regularly ate fish had larger brain volumes in regions associated with memory and cognition, but only if the fish baked or broiled, not fried.
Baking and broiling are also better for your waistline. For example, a dozen fried shrimp can pack 280 calories, versus a mere 85 calories for 12 shrimp that have been steamed or broiled. To...

More crop per drop: Reducing water footprint of cultivated herbs
New research is aiming to reduce the water footprint and increase shelf life of potted and cut herb production in the UK. Focusing on a range of potted and cut herbs, including flat-leaved parsley, basil and coriander, the aim is to reduce the use of irrigation water during crop production, while improving the flavor and quality of the herbs. It has already been shown in other growing systems that substantial water savings can be made without detrimental impacts on crop quality. (Source: ScienceDaily Headlines)

Melatonin helps control weight gain as it stimulates the appearance of 'beige fat'
Melatonin is a natural hormone segregated by the body and melatonin levels generally increase in the dark at night. It is also found in fruit and vegetables like mustard, Goji berries, almonds, sunflower seeds, cardamom, fennel, coriander and cherries. Spanish scientists have discovered that melatonin consumption helps control weight gain because it stimulates the appearance of 'beige fat', a type of fat cell that burns calories in vivo instead of storing them...
