A Nutritionist's Guide to Stocking a Healthy Kitchen
It's no secret that preparing our own meals makes it easier to stick to a healthy-eating plan. You know the ingredients going into your food, and there's no sneaky extra sodium, sugar or calorie bombs hiding in home-cooked meals. That being said, it can also be time consuming to make everything at home, not to mention the time it takes to go to the grocery store if all the elements aren't already in your kitchen. One way to make it a little easier is to ensure that your kitchen is always stocked with what you need -- ingredients that are satisfying to your taste buds and easy to prepare, whether you are enjoying a relaxing...

The Mountain's Daily Diet Is More Shocking Than Anything On 'Game Of Thrones'
You want a "mountain" body? You better eat b**ch.
At least that's what "Game of Thrones" actor Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson (he goes by Thor for short) does to achieve his massive frame. Björnsson, who is currently in competition to be the World’s Strongest Man, plays Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane, a now Frankenstein-like monster with a penchant for violence and the ability to "take the head off a horse with a single swing of his sword."
Horse decapitations aren't for the weak-bodied apparently, because Björnsson has to consume an insane amount of food to ke...

'Healthy' Foods Dietitians Refuse to Eat
By: Liz Newman Credit: meaofoto/Shutterstock Everyone has a unique definition of "healthy." For some, it means a kale-infused green juice every morning and no carbs after 2pm; for others, it means limiting burger runs to just once a day. But what about those foods that trick you into thinking you're eating healthy, but in reality you would have been no worse for wear if you'd eaten that burger? Those foods are total dicks. To find out which ones are masquerading as "good for you," a trio of registered dietitians shared the supposedly healthy foods they don't eat.

Science Could Help Us Feed The World, If Only We Let It
At a university lab in the Netherlands, professor Mark Post is working tirelessly to perfect the world’s first lab-grown beef burger. If he is successful, beef lovers the world over will be able to eat a burger that is possibly more environmentally friendly and healthier than the real thing. Whether consumers — already suspicious of so-called frankenfood — will ultimately accept an in-vitro burger is an open question. And the same goes for 3D-printed food. And nutrient-enhanced, genetically modified sweet potatoes, even though they could help solve malnutrition in developing countries. All over the w...

Antibiotics Side Effects on the Mitochondria
Science is just beginning to understand how important your mitochondria are to warding off the diseases of aging. And, as usual, mainstream medicine is lagging way behind.
Along with your telomeres, the cellular time keepers at the ends of your chromosomes, your mitochondria are another key component of the anti-aging equation.
You see, these tiny organelles in your cells are the power plants that turn fuel into energy for your body. Healthy mitochondria keep you young and energetic.
Research shows that damaged mitochondria can lead to:
Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder;
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’...

Turns Out Eating Too Many Carrots Really Can Turn Your Skin Orange
Carrots are some of the most versatile veggies in the produce aisle. Whether they're shredded in a salad, roasted in the oven, juiced for a smoothie or baked in a cake, carrots are an appropriate ingredient for every meal of the day. But as nutritious and delicious as they are, carrots also prove that too much of a good thing can sometimes be bad. And by bad, we mean Oompa Loompa bad. Fact: Eating too many carrots can actually turn your skin orange. It's a medical condition known as carotenemia and, aside from the shock you'll get from seeing your skin turn a cartoonish color, the condition is generally h...

10 Simple Tips to Savor the Flavor of Eating Right
National nutrition month (NNM) is a nutrition education campaign sponsored yearly by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND). This year's NNM theme is Savor the Flavor of Eating Right. Here are smart tips to help you eat healthier this month. 1. Mind your portions and eat slowly. One of the best ways to "savor the flavor" is to chew our food well instead of shoveling it in. This will not only help us eat less, but we will be able to actually taste and enjoy what we are eating. 2. Include fruits and vegetables at each meal. Sprinkle in berries to your yogurt, add a colorful green salad to your lunch, and include ...

A potato-rich diet before pregnancy could up diabetes risk
ConclusionAlthough we cannot say from this study whether eating potatoes could cause gestational diabetes, it does seem worth taking seriously. This study has a number of strengths. It's big enough to give statistically significant results and the researchers were able to adjust their results to check for many factors which could have had an effect on women's chances of getting gestational diabetes. They carried out sensitivity analyses to check that no one factor was skewing the results. Also, as the researchers say, there is a possible plausible scientific reason for thinking that potatoes might increase the risk of dia...

I've Stuck to My Plant-Based Diet for Seven Years By Doing These Seven Things
For seven years I've eaten primarily plants. Now, sticking to ANY healthy habit for seven years is a major accomplishment (heck, sticking to any healthy habit for seven days, or even seven HOURS can be a major accomplishment!), but sticking to a healthy habit that's centered around food is not always a piece of dairy-free, gluten-free cake. Because of temptations! And inconveniences! And dang ice cream cravings. But it's true, I've eaten almost exclusively fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds without meat or dairy for over half a half-decade and I haven't become a "health nut hermit," a total social outcast, a pain-in-the-butt ...

In The Marshall Islands, Traditional Agriculture And Healthy Eating Are A Climate Change Strategy
LAURA VILLAGE, Marshall Islands -- Holding in his hand a bunch of what he called mountain apples, Steve Lepton grinned like a kid with a new toy.
“Oh, it’s good,” he said. “Yesterday I didn’t find any fruit on this one. Wow, this is great. They’re getting red.”
The delicate little fruit is crunchy like an apple and sweet. It’s a popular snack in the Marshall Islands, Lepton told The WorldPost, but kids pickle it with salt and Kool-Aid, which defeats the purpose of eating fruit in the first place.
As the Global Climate and Health Alliance made clear with an announcement ...
