Since the start of the Pandemic a huge percentage of people are eating more UPF (ultra-processed foods ). The rest are starting to take notice and are acting on makisn better food choices for vitality and longevity.
I have to admit it is not at all easy even when we increase the number of fresh fruits, vegetables, berries and whole grains, we have to each much more to make a difference. Why? according to a growing body of research, rising carbon dioxide levels are making our food less nutritious, robbing key crops of vitamins essential to human development. Nitrogen in particular is difficult to manage in the soil, and when farmers apply too much it causes plants to take up more water, resulting in high yields but giving us foods that have lower nutrient density.
I have rabbited on about the power of fruits and veg for many years, then 18 years ago I had to admit I needed a wholefood supplement to bring what I was managing to eat each day up to what I wanted to be eating each day.
I found just one that fits my criteria and now combine it with an overnight, fasting, a 6 step low GI/GL supported nutrition plan with includes all meals and recipes needed and empowered breathing and mindfulness in our life-changing program. “Walk The Weight Off Mind & Body” https://bit.ly/2UlO95p

The BBC program with Dr Chris Van Tulleken was a real eye-opener. I have always advised people to use as little ultra processed food as possible, especially when it comes to their children. What I didn’t know was just how little studies there are on how they actually effect our body and MIND!. Yes they are not just making us fat it is making us into junk food addicts!!!

UPF (Ultra Processed Food) is now recognised by Cancer research and WHO and the program tells one in 5 of us the have a diet consisting of 80% UPF.

In 2021 as a country adults are eating 57% UPF and the shocking thing is our children are eating 64% and adolescents 68%. OMG. This is why our obesity rate is still rocketing and our NHS is collapsing.

Do you know the difference between Processed & Ultra Processed? I aim to start a campaign to get government action on how UPF are labeled, displayed and advertised. We as cuonsumers need more clarity and ALL ingrediats listed on labels. (Healhty foods have less ingrediants) I am running a workshop on this next week. More information on that in next few days.

BUSTING S MYTH - Is coffee is a good antioxidant

Coffee, when consumed in moderation (1 mug or 2 small cups cups daily), is a safe part of a healthy diet and contributes antioxidant phytochemicals. In fact, research suggests coffee may help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, gallstones, Parkinson's disease, even some cancers. However there are two things to look out for:
1. just like anything you put in your body its is the quality of the coffee that matters. The antioxidants are at their best just after it is ground because they start to oxidise. So lots. of pre ground and instant coffee have very little left after you opened that jar!.
2. Lots of strong coffee can give you a caffeine rush which higher the cortisol level and too this is not good for stress, and anxiety levels on a daily basis.
So keep the amount you drink and coffee calories in check, by steering clear of trimmings like cream, sugar, and flavoured syrups.

BUSTING THE MYTH - Eat less fat for good health?
Your body needs three nutrients to thrive: protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Yes, fats! Good-for-you fats found in foods like nuts, seeds, fish, avocado, olives, and low-fat dairy give you energy, help rebuild cells, and produce needed hormones. The fats to limit or avoid are saturated and trans fats, found in foods like butter, high-fat dairy, red meat, and any brand fats or fats from vegetable oils high in omega 6 many of which are found in UPF ultra processed foods. Omega 6 itself along with omega-3 plays a crucial role in brain function, and normal growth and development. As a type of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), omega-6s help stimulate skin and hair growth, maintain bone health, regulate metabolism, and maintain the reproductive system. When added in excess in UPF it becomes bad for us as it upsets the ration of omega 3 and 6 and changes form helping to prevent many diseases to elevating the risk of those diseases. So yes we should limit saturated fat, and definitely cut our all trans-fats and definitely eat lots of the good fats which are an essential part of any plan for health excess fat.

BUSTING THE MYTH - drinking more water makes you skinny

Does drinking lots of water will make you loose fat?. There’s no doubt water is vital for your body but and all your body’s systems. ? But water alone with no other changes to your eating habits will not make you skinny. Researchers followed almost 16,000 adults in Spain for an average of 8.5 years. None were obese at the start of the study. During that study, almost 900 participants became obese.

The study found that drinking a glass of water instead of a beer every day reduced the risk of obesity by 20 percent. Switching one sugar or s sweetened soft drink for water every day was associated with a 15 percent lower risk of developing obesity.If drinking water keeps you away from high-calorie drinks, it can certainly help you lose weight. But adding more water to your diet, without changing anything else, makes no difference in lowering the numbers on your scale. However if you are dehydrated it will inhibit fat burning because our body need water to process the fat we are storing as fuel.For lots more useful information on all aspects of health and to access Medics, practitioners, clinicians, and health experts Join our free community library here - https://bit.ly/3tYdr73

BUSTING THE MYTH - athletes need tons of protein

Everyone knows an athlete needs tons of protein to build strength and muscle, right? Well, not exactly. Most western diets provide plenty of protein even for athletes. The real secret to boosting athletic strength and muscle is to get enough calories, focus on intense training, and get a carbohydrate and protein-containing snack soon after an intense muscle workout. The Top athletes now train for repair not performance because if you body can repair and recover quickly then you can train sooner, longer and right up to competition. They need good quality protein combined with tons of greens and multicoloured vegetables and fruit. All those plant nutrients are brilliant for repair and recovery. If we all eat like top athletes, but less food overall we would be full of energy and have no excess fat!

BUSTING THE MYTH. - Contraception pills make you fat

It’s rare, but some women do gain a little bit of weigh when they start taking birth control pills. It’s often a temporary side effect that’s due to fluid retention, not extra fat.

A review of 44 studies showed no evidence that birth control pills caused weight gain in most women. And, as with other possible side effects of the pill, any weight gain is generally minimal and goes away within 2 to 3 months.
If you happen to be one of those few women who put on pounds, talk to your doctor. They may suggest a different type of birth control pill. Why? Because all pills are not the same and all bodies are not the same.

When birth control pills were first sold in the early 1960s, they had very high levels of oestrogen and progestin. Oestrogen in high doses can cause weight gain due to increased appetite and fluid retention. So, 50 years ago they may indeed have caused weight gain in some women. Todays pills are different.

Current birth control pills have much lower amounts of hormones. So weight gain is not likely to be a problem.

There are two types:
Combination pills, which contain oestrogen and progestin

Progestin-only pills.

Most birth control pills use the same type of oestrogen in various doses, but each brand of pill may offer a slightly different type of the hormone progestin, at different doses. The result? Potentially different side effects. Whichever one you try, give it at least 3 months for any side effects to pass. If the side effects don’t pass there are many other things that can make a difference things like lifestyle, diet and exercise so talk to your health care professional or join our FREE Community Library to access one of our Health Care Professionals advisors for a free chat. https://bit.ly/3CvNPSd Tracey Smolinski Dr Leshmi Rajan Dr Rosie Oretti Dr. Sears Wellness Institute Dr. Madlena Kantscheff Your Wellbeing Expert Robyn O'Connor

BUSTING SOME MYTH- honey is better for us than table sugar.
Table sugar, agave, honey, and high-fructose corn syrup contribute calories (between 48 and 64 a tablespoon). So far, research shows that our bodies absorb added sugars like high-fructose corn syrup and table sugar in a similar way. Instead of avoiding one particular kind of sugar, try to limit added sugars of any kind, like those in soda, candy, and other sweets.

Table sugar, agave, honey, and high-fructose corn syrup contribute calories (between 48 and 64 a tablespoon). It's not just calories, any sugar not inside fruits, vegetables and whole grains are not good for us. Any sugar from starchy foods and all added sugar for taste is best left out or greatly minimised. So far, research shows that our bodies absorb added sugars like high-fructose corn syrup and table sugar in a similar way. So adding hone to your cereal may have a few more nutrients but remember you are still adding sugar. So try to limit added sugars of any kind, and be particularly aware of those hidden sugars especially in soda, colas, and other drinks. Sugar outside fruits and vegetables woiht lots of fiber added is bad for many aspects. of our health. If it enters our blood stream very fast it affects how oour body hadles insolin. Type 2 diabetyes is all aobut insolin resistance not just sugar. So we should eat foods like those pictured below which all, either contain no sugar or they release the sugar they contain slowly into our blood stream.

BURN OUT HURTS YOUR HEART!

A new study found a link between extreme burnout and a type of irregular heart rhythm. Atrial fibrillation, also known as AFib or AF, is the most common type of irregular heartbeat, affecting at least 2.7 million Americans.
New research found a link between severe burnout, also known as vital exhaustion, and the risk of developing atrial fibrillation.

Feeling exhausted, irritable, and dejected all the time, aka burnout,is not good for your mental well-being. And when it occurs at work, it’s not good for your career either.
A new study suggests that burnout may also cause damage to the heart that can lead to a potentially deadly irregular heart rhythm.

Atrial fibrillation, is the most common type of irregular heartbeat, affecting at least 2.7 Million Americans. In addition to an irregular heartbeat, AFib can cause symptoms such as chest pain, heart palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, and fatigue. AFib can also increase your risk of stroke, even when symptoms aren’t present.

In the new study , which was published Jan. 13 in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, researchers found a link between severe burnout also known as vital exhaustion and the risk of developing atrial fibrillation.

TRANS- FATS - STORY AT A GLANCE
On June 16, 2015, the FDA announced partially hydrogenated oils (a primary source of trans fat) will no longer be allowed in food unless authorized by the agency, due to their health risks
The new regulation will take effect in 2018. According to the FDA, this change may help prevent around 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 heart disease deaths each year
The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) applauds the ban, despite being instrumental in getting the food industry to swap healthy saturated fats for trans fats in the 1980’s. Big Thank you Dr Mecola for this brilliant information.
In spite of this I am still seeing hydrogenated fats in products in some supermarkets. There is no need at all to add these toxic substance to our food. Here are some of the worst culprits for adding in trans-fats. If you do eat these foods at least read the food labels and ensure you are not feeding this horrible ingredient it to your families. for more information to help you. and your family stay healthy join our free library here https://bit.ly/3AZVEzI
