If you live in a hot climate or get outdoors to exercise or work, pay close attention, as staying hydrated is important for more than just muscle and kidney function according to authors of a recent study.

The researchers found a rather strong and surprising link between hydration status and stress hormone or cortisol levels. They found that those people who drank less than 1.5 litres of water daily, released 50% more cortisol, in response to stress, than those that had adequate water intake. The researchers noted that this contributed to feelings of anxiety for the participants.

It's not just about stress, as long term dehydration is correlated with poor health including a increased risk of developing kidney stones (ouch!).

So, if you want to look and feel your best, make sure to consume plenty of fresh, pure water. Your body and mind will thank you for it!

Not drinking enough water could intensify stress responses. Researchers found that under-hydrated individuals had cortisol levels more than 50% higher during stressful situations. Poor hydration didn’t make participants feel thirstier, but it did trigger biological signs of strain. Keeping a water...

If you have been led to believe that nuts are not a healthy food, think again!

Nuts are among the most nutrient-dense foods available. A 30-gram handful of cashews, for example, can provide the entire adult daily requirement for magnesium - in conjunction with a plethora of other nutrients. Magnesium is vital for optimal heart health, muscle and cognitive function.

Many of us avoid eating nuts, for fear that they are 'fattening'. The science tells us otherwise, of course, when consuming them in moderation. And they are very satisfying to the appetite.

If you've been avoiding them, maybe time to reconsider adding a handful of raw nuts daily!

Don't limit yourself to cashews. Hazelnuts, Brazils, Pecans, Walnuts, Almonds and Macadamia nuts are all good😃

Irritable bowel syndrome affects between 4% to 11% of all people. It can be debilitating and leads to a loss of quality of life.

A recent study from the University of Michigan provides evidence that supports the adoption of the Mediterranean Diet for IBS sufferers. In the randomised controlled trial, the Low FODMAP diet and Mediterranean diet were directly compared to see what offered the most symptom relief for suffers of IBS.

This study looked at the degree to which the diets reduced IBS induced abdominal pain intensity symptoms by 30%. This is an FDA standard endpoint.

They found that 81% of those on the FODMAP diet met this endpoint and 73% of those on the Mediterranean diet me this endpoint. Both diets worked very well, in this regard.

Whilst the FODMAP diet was more effective, it is restrictive and typically, quite hard to follow.

It is reassuring to know that the Mediterranean diet has a documented benefit to those with IBS, in addition to all of it's other well-documented benefits. So, eat like a Mediterranean and enjoy the flavours, conviviality and the better health that follows 😀

In a comparative pilot study, the Mediterranean diet and the low FODMAP diet both provided relief for patients with IBS.

Advice from health professionals to reduce intake of saturated fats has been much maligned in recent times especially by those in favour of a high meat or carnivore diet.

However, recent research into the effects of a high saturated fat diet has shed new light on some of the immediate effects saturated fats on gut function and inflammation levels.

The pre-clinical study, conducted in Melbourne, Australia) found even a few meals high in saturated fats can cause inflammation in the body and deplete levels of protective immune system chemicals that help the body manage the microbiome.

The main author, Le Xiong, said "It took only two days of consuming high-fat foods for the mice to have an impaired gut function."

The team observed unsaturated fats, such as those found in nuts, seeds and avocados, had the opposite effect.

It seems that a balanced diet, composed of lean meats, seafood, nuts, seeds and of course plenty of plant foods is still proving to be the best way of helping to ensure a healthy gut and healthy body.

A study has become the first in the world to unravel the immediate effects of a high-fat diet on our gut health.

The way we spend our money on the food we eat has far reaching effects on our health and the economy.

Whilst we know that vegetable and fruit consumption benefits our health in many ways, how many people think about how this affects the Framers that grow this food?

A story recently published by the ABC looked at the potential effect of low vegetable consumption on Australian Farm viability. As with any business, turnover matters, Many Australian farmers, it seems, are considering leaving the industry due to financial pressures.

We can do something that benefits ourselves and the framing community. Eat more fruit and veg!

A Mediterranean diet composed of vegetables, fruits, legumes and lean meat can be very affordable. Have a look at what $100 buys at your Local Green Grocer and then what this buys at the supermarket. You may be surprised.

Therefore, the question to us all is, do we want more Super Factories churning out ultra-processed food or do we want viable farms that grow nourishing food that we can all access.

Support your Local Green Grocer for your health and the health of our Farming Community.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2024-10-09/dropping-vegetable-consumption-hurting-farmers-and-health/104429338

ABS figures show only 6.5 per cent of the population meets the daily requirement of five servings of vegetables and the effects are being felt across the economy.

Evidence that healthy diet reduces Prostate Cancer progression. Researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine have unearthed a very important facet of how nutrition influences prostate disease outcome. The research team found strong evidence that a healthy diet reduces the risk of prostate cancer progressing to a higher grade. Specifically they found that those who ate a healthy diet at diagnosis and when active surveillance commences were less likely to have cancer that progresses to a higher level.

So, whilst adopting a lifelong approach to health and wellness does not guarantee against developing cancer, it appears that it does give us a fighting chance. This is simply another reason to eat well and share this enthusiasm with friends.

New research provides scientific evidence that a healthy diet may reduce the chance of low risk prostate cancer progressing to a more aggressive state in men undergoing active surveillance -- a clinical option in which men with lower risk cancer are carefully monitored for progression in lieu of tre...
