Most of us have heard about UPFs (Ultra-Processed Foods) hey? Some of these Items are INGREDIENTS we would maybe be using to Make Our Own Foods. It really "gets a bit much!" doesn't it? Makes us feel like telling those Manufacturers "Would you Stop Messing with Our Foods!?" OR Boycotting Them like our Grandparents and Greats did. Hey, that's a Good Idea. Think I may encourage More of That!

Orange Juice
What could be complicated about orange juice? It is made from oranges, juiced — except when it’s not. That some juice makers feel compelled to regularly pump up their product with non-orange ingredients seems far-fetched, but they do it. And in fact, orange juice is one of the most popular items to have suspect ingredients sneaked into the mix. The FFD is chock full of faux orange juices, one of the most shocking reveals a mixture of beet sugar, corn sugar, monosodium glutamate, ascorbic acid, potassium sulfate, orange pulp wash, grapefruit solids, and a byproduct from a water distillation system.…

By Laurel Ives – The Telegraph

Our gut microbiome, the bustling community of trillions of microbes living deep within our intestines, does more than just help with digest food, it contributes to so many aspects of our health. In recent years, gut health and inflammation have become such popular buzzwords, yet many still don’t realise just how intricately they are linked:

Why is gut health important?
Inflammation and gut health
Spotting inflammation
Improving your diet for better gut health
Other factors that affect gut health

Our Microbiome Contributes To So Many Aspects Of Our Health

Why is gut health so important?

The gut microbiome is so important, in fact its often called “the second brain.”

Scientists are now realising that when the gut microbiome is out of balance – when the bad bacteria have begun to dominate and kill off the good – it can set off a toxic chain reaction throughout the body.…

Published on Leave a comment on How To Reduce Stress In Just 5 Minutes – According To Science – Give These A Try:)

HEY THESE ARE REALLY GOOD. YOU SHOULD GIVE SOME A TRY.
SOMETIMES WE ONLY NEED THE SIMPLE THINGS - NOT COMPLICATED.

By Ida-Marie Palm Varaek

You don’t need a weekend retreat or hours of meditation to calm down.

According to Science, just five minutes of small, intentional actions can help your body relax.

Take Five Deep Breaths

Your breath is directly connected to your Nervous System.

Deep, slow breathing can lower blood pressure, calm your heart rate, and reduce cortisol - the stress hormone linked to poor sleep and brain fog.

Try "coherent breathing": inhale for six seconds, exhale for six - steady and slow.

Hug Someone Or Hold A Hand

Touch releases oxytocin, the "love hormone" that helps to regulate stress.

A 20-second hug can lower your heart rate and blood pressure. Self-touch works too - place a hand on your heart, rub your arms, or gently touch your face.…

Published on Leave a comment on You’ve Been Conned: Your “Healthy” Cereal Might Be Ruining Your Health – Don’t Trust The Front Of The Box!

Breakfast cereal might look like a quick and easy way to start your day,
but new research shows many cereals - especially those aimed at kids - are less healthy than ever.

Here's what you need to know before pouring your next bowl.

Sugar levels are on the rise

Though the increase in sugar might seem modest, many cereals already start with a high sugar content.

Most exceed recommended daily sugar limits, especially when served to children, making them a poor everyday option.

Fat content has jumped over 30 %

From 2010 to 2023, fat levels in children’s cereals increased by a staggering 33.6%.

High fat content in the morning can contribute to poor cardiovascular health and unbalanced energy levels.

Sodium is creeping up too

Sodium content rose by 32.1% across new cereal launches, which can raise blood pressure - even in children - and increase long-term heart disease risks.

Fiber is steadily decreasing

Dietary fiber dropped significantly after 2021, falling from 3.82 grams to just 2.94 grams per serving.…

Published on Leave a comment on A Scientist Who Studies Ultra-Processed Foods Follows 3 Simple Rules To Help Him Stop Overeating

By Kim Schewitz - Nutrition Researcher

  • Ultra-processed foods tend to be energy-dense and soft, making them easy to overeat.
  • Sam Dicken, a nutrition researcher, tries to avoid UPFs because he naturally has a big appetite.
  • He shared how he avoids overeating without checking labels, such as by considering a food's texture.

Sam Dicken is a scientist who researches the potential harms of ultra-processed foods, like store-bought cookies and pizza. Despite what he knows, these kinds of food are often manufactured to be so easy to overeat that even he struggles to control himself around them.

"My appetite is huge," the researcher at the Centre for Obesity Research at UCL
in London told Business Insider. "I find it really easy to just keep on eating."

But Dicken has a few clever tricks to practice moderation when eating less nutritious foods, which go beyond simply trying to decipher from the label whether they're ultra-processed.…

Published on Leave a comment on Chronic Inflammation: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment Tips

By Namita S Kalla

Chronic Inflammation is a long-term condition that can last for months or even years. It's different from Acute Inflammation, which is short-term and usually a result of injury or infection. Chronic Inflammation can cause persistent health issues, making it a serious concern for many. Research from the National Institute of Health, the University of Kansas Medical Center, and the VA Medical Center, Mather, CA, shows that this Inflammation often leads to severe conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis.

Causes Of Chronic Inflammation:

Chronic Inflammation happens due to various factors that hamper the body's Natural Healing Process. Common causes include infections, irritants, autoimmune disorders, and unhealthy lifestyle habits. Infections caused by bacteria or viruses may resist the Body’s Defense Mechanisms, leading to Extended Inflammation.

Plus, exposure to irritants such as dust, smoke, and chemicals can also cause lasting Inflammation.

Autoimmune conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis occur when the Immune System mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, causing Inflammation.…

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE IMPROVED OR SAID GOODBYE TO THEIR PAIN ISSUES BY AVOIDING FAKE FOODS and PROCESSED FOODS and TOXIC LIKE YOU WILL SEE HERE IN THIS ARTICLE. GIVE IT SOME TIME AND YOU WILL BE SURPRIZED - OFTEN IT'S SOONER:)

From Nivedita on MSN

Diet tips: Inflammation is a natural response to injury, but chronic inflammation can lead to serious health issues. Avoid processed foods, trans fats, and sugary drinks to manage inflammation effectively.

Inflammation is your body's natural response to injury, infection, or irritation.
It's a complex biological process involving the immune system, blood vessels, and various signalling molecules. When tissue is damaged or threatened by pathogens, the body releases chemicals that cause blood vessels to dilate, allowing immune cells to reach the affected area. This results in increased blood flow, warmth, redness, and swelling, which are typical signs of inflammation.

The immune cells, such as white blood cells, work to remove harmful substances and repair damaged tissue, says Dr Vivek Madhav, Metro Hospital’s rheumatologist.…
