Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs)

Avoiding UPFs may help you lose weight quicker. In a recent study of 55 adults, participants took turns eating either a diet of minimally processed foods (MPFs) or a diet of UPFs. Think homemade roasted chicken and vegetables versus frozen chicken nuggets and french fries. The diets were nutritionally similar. Meals were delivered, and they were told to eat as much or as little as they wanted. MPFs require more chewing and are usually less calorie-dense. The slower eating rate can lead to quicker satiety and overall lower calorie intake. Participants lost twice as much weight and body fat on the MPF diet compared to the UPF one.

Mindfulness May Reduce Anxiety

New research suggests that practicing mindfulness may help treat anxiety and may have results in symptom relief similar to medications, with fewer side effects. This study involved 276 adults who had either agoraphobia, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder or social anxiety disorder. The participants were separated into two groups. One group took a medication for anxiety, and the other group practiced mindfulness meditation. After 2 months, the 2 groups had similar reductions in symptoms with the medication group having slightly better results. However, 79% of the medication group had at least one side effect, such as sleep problems, nausea, headache or fatigue.

Are Breakfast Cereals Healthy?

Children's breakfast cereals may not be the healthiest choice to start the day. A new study of 1,200 breakfast cereals found increasing amounts of sugar, sodium and fat in the cereals. Researchers analyzed children's cereals introduced between 2010 and 2023 and found the amount of total sugar increased by 11%, sodium was up by 32% and fat rose 34%. Added sugars often exceeded the American Heart Association's recommended limit for kids. Also, healthier ingredients such as fiber and protein decreased by a significant amount in 2023. These results suggest food manufacturers may be prioritizing taste over nutrition.

BE FAST To Identify Stroke

A stroke or TIA (transient ischemic attack) may come on very suddenly. The acronym BE FAST may help you identify one quickly. B stands for balance; sudden loss of balance or coordination. E stands for eyes; sudden blurred or double vision or loss of vision. F is for face; face drooping or numbness. A is for arm; sudden weakness in arm or leg on one side of the body. S is for speech; sudden slurred speech, inability to speak or difficulty to understand. And finally, T stands for time; time is the key factor. Call 911 immediately if you think someone is having a stroke or TIA. A quick response can mean the difference between life and death.
