A Body is as a Body Does


Each and every year “weight loss” is one of the top New Years Resolutions.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting a thinner, more toned body I suppose…as long as you don’t get so caught up with an unrealistic expectation of having a “PERFECT body”. Because perfect doesn’t exist. Heck, even model’s photos have to be airbrushed to disguise their imperfections.

When we make weight loss our only goal, and then it doesn’t happen fast enough, we’re bound to just give up on eating healthy or moving more. Or if we do achieve the weight loss, how long are we able to sustain it?

PUT YOUR 3D GLASSES ON
Today I invite you to put on your 3D glasses as you consider your body as more than just the outside. I like to say, “A body is as a body does.” Because when you think of your body MORE in terms of its functions, it’s easier to stick to your health goals.

Your body isn’t just skin deep (how you look in the mirror). Just consider all the miraculous things it can do. And, when we do, we’re far more likely to eat healthy, exercise more, and prevent the excesses of life.

OH, THE PLACES THIS BODY GOES!
Just think about all the places your body has taken you over the years. Your body is coordinated to do so many things like eat with a fork, jump over a puddle, and type super-fast on your tiny keyboards. That’s impressive when you think about it.

Your body houses the brain which allows you to think, focus, creatively brainstorm, feel emotions. Your body not only keeps you alive…it keeps you healthy and strong and allows you to live and thrive for many years. So you can enjoy all the fun things you love doing. Wow! Pretty impressive body we all have, don’t you think?

Remember that your body is more than one-dimensional. It’s more than its outside appearance. While it’s nice to look nice, the body is important for so many other reasons than your appearance. And, here’s the good news…when you focus more on your body’s function, you’ll easily attain your goals. And, in the long-run, help with the outside of your body as a side effect.

FOCUS ON “ENERGY” FOR IMMEDIATE RESULTS
Instead of focusing on weight loss, why not focus on “ENERGY”. There are so many simple, easy things you can do that will immediately help expand your energy. And when you create more energy, you feel like moving instead of sitting. You won’t have to MAKE yourself go to the gym, with energy you simply WANT to run, bike, or take a karate class. With more energy, you think clearer so you’re more productive. You’re more patient and understanding so there appears to be less stress. Energy gives you willpower so eating healthy is easier. Energy is the key to keeping you healthy, sane, and productive….and will also give you the body you want. Stronger and more energized. A body with a smile on it’s face! (and let’s face it, we all look better with a smile on our face).

FAST ENERGY
How do you expand your energy in a short period of time? Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Stand up. Yes, just getting off you bum can reenergize you. Plus you’ll burn more calories 😊.
Stay hydrated. Being just 1-2% dehydrated will depress your energy and mood. Don’t like water? Just sip all day or find another (no calorie) liquid replacement such as squeezing some flavor into the water.
Take a break. With all that water, you’ll need a bathroom break. But, why not take the opportunity to walk the long way to the bathroom. Your head will come back clearer after some movement.
Power down. I’m not the only one who takes power naps. I hear from readers all the time that lay on the floor, put their head down, or retreat to the car for just a few minutes and feel as rejuvenated as when you restart your computer after a snag. It just works!
Escape. You don’t need to fall asleep to have a good (day) dream. Give yourself permission to escape for a moment when you need it. Read a short story, watch a funny video, or plan your next vacation.
Snack. If it’s been a while since you last ate, reach for a high protein snack such as a glass of milk (dairy or soy), jerky stick, cheese & apple, or a higher protein bar such as Zing, Rx, Pure Protein, or Think Thin. For energy, it’s better to eat smaller, more frequently than one or two big meals in a day.
Caffeinate. Most of us drink way more caffeine than we actually need, but we drink it all at once (or twice). Research shows (double blind studies) that we perform best when we drink just 50-100mg at one time. That’s a tiny cup of coffee. So, instead of gulping a big mug of coffee first thing in the morning, drink more water and then try smaller cups every four hours (but stop mid-afternoon).

Finger Foods for Baby: Why You Should Encourage Self-Feeding


As parents of little ones, we all know that feeding babies can be fun, messy and maybe a little nerve wracking in the beginning… there are so many conflicting messages out there about what, when and how to start solids. No doubt you’ve heard “you should start early–at 4 months” or “you’ve got to wait until 6 months” or “you should start with purees and then gradually feed lumpier textures” or “finger foods only–purees aren’t good anymore”. Gah! It’s confusing!

Well, I will put your mind at ease right from the get-go–there’s no “right” way to start solids. There are guidelines and suggestions and certain nutrients. And I have no doubt that you’ve received unsolicited advice from your friends, family and random people who feel the need to impart their feeding wisdom… They mean well, but it can add to the confusion and create stress that is unnecessary. As a pediatric registered dietitian and mom of 3, I’ve got your back, and I’m here to give you the facts, based on the newest feeding guidelines and science.

Babies should be introduced to solids around 6 months of age, when they’re developmentally ready, and are eager to dive into the wonderful world of solid foods. This is also when babies’ iron stores that they built up in the womb are depleted, so iron-rich foods like meat, poultry, fish, eggs, beans and lentils, or iron-fortified infant cereal should be offered at least twice a day to meet their needs.

What a lot of parents don’t realize, is that right from 6 months of age, babies are ready to practice self-feeding with soft and safe finger foods! And self-feeding or practicing “baby-led feeding” has many benefits such as:

improved dexterity,
earlier oral-motor development
improved self-regulation of appetite
easy and inexpensive,
less stressful for the parents,
may reduce picky eating,

Finger foods that are safe and nutritious for babies are things like meat, poultry, fish, eggs, beans and lentils, soft cooked vegetables, soft fruit, whole grain foods, and cheese. If you’re comfortable with it, you can do “baby-led weaning” which essentially means that you skip purees and go straight to soft and safe finger foods (and baby self-feeding). But it’s also ok to do a combination of spoon feeding and self-feeding if you’re more comfortable with that. Again, there’s no one “right” way. Read more here, here, here and here about starting solids and baby-led weaning. But it is important to always let baby lead (in terms of how much and how fast they eat), and to choose real, unprocessed foods the majority of the time–we want them to develop a palate for, and become really familiar with the feel, taste, and texture of a nice variety of real whole foods like fruits, vegetables, meats, legumes, and whole grains.

But, life happens, and sometimes we need something really convenient and easy for when we’re on the go (or let’s be honest–when attempting to make dinner without losing your mind). Enter: baby snack food. Now, I’m not a huge fan of the baby snacking selections out there. Typically what you find down the baby aisle are packaged finger food snacks that are made primarily with rice and contain little to no nutrition. Trust me–most of these are super unimpressive nutrition-wise. And because our babies’ tummies are so small (nut nutrient needs high), we need to be picky when choosing these convenience foods.

This is why I’m so thrilled that Baby Gourmet has JUST come out with 100% high quality plant-based chickpea and lentil snacks (no rice or weird ingredients here) that are perfect for babies right from 6 months of age. I’ve partnered with this amazing company for a reason–they’re breaking ground when it comes to finger food snacks for babies and toddlers and I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of the innovation. Most of you know how much I love lentils, so you can imagine my excitement about the fact that these are made with only lentils and chickpeas. There’s both a carrot stick, and a tomato slice with basil that make for a great addition to a meal or a great snack while on the go. They’re perfect for babies who are learning to self-feed AND they offer nutrition like protein, fibre, iron and even probiotics!

Bottom line is this: babies need to be exposed to a variety of foods, tastes, and textures within the first few months of starting solids–including soft, safe finger foods. It’s safe to allow your healthy baby to self-feed right from six months (and there are many benefits to this!) and it’s important to include baby in family meals. No matter how you’re feeding your baby (or allowing them to self-feed), it’s important that ALL feeding is baby-led, meaning that you follow their cues, letting them lead and letting them be in charge of how much they eat, and at what pace they eat. Focus primarily on real, whole unprocessed foods, and when it comes to convenience baby foods, be really selective. Read ingredients lists and compare different products, looking for quality whole-food nutritious ingredients that you recognize.

Do you know Men who eat lots of fruits and vegetables have less memory loss?



Men who pursue a refreshing eating regimen could be ensuring their minds, as indicated by another investigation that followed a huge gathering of men for over 2 decades.

Researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, MA, analyzed data from a study that had followed 27,842 men for 26 years.

The men had all filled in detailed surveys about their food and drink intake at the start of the study in 1986 — when they were aged 51 years, on average — and then every 4 years until 2002.

The follow-up lasted until 2012, by which time their average age was in the mid- to late-70s.

During the last few years of the follow-up, they had also completed short tests to find out whether they had noticed any decline in their own ability to think and remember things.

The analysis showed that consuming higher amounts of certain foods and drinks was tied to lower risk of decline in memory and thinking skills.

The foods that most strongly showed this effect were leafy greens, red and dark orange vegetables, berry fruits, and orange juice.

The journal Neurology recently published a paper about the study and its findings.

"Our studies," says first author Dr. Changzheng Yuan, who works in the school's departments of nutrition and epidemiology, "provide further evidence [that] dietary choices can be important to maintain your brain health."

Subjective cognitive function test

The purpose of the subjective cognitive function (SCF) tests that the men completed was to discern changes in memory and thinking abilities that they had noticed themselves.

The SCF test contains six items, and the study authors note that its "validity was supported by strong associations" with a gene that is linked to Alzheimer's disease.

The subjective test can uncover decline in memory and thinking skills before they begin to show up in objective tests.

The men completed the SCF test twice: once in 2008 and again at the end of the follow-up in 2012. Typical questions included:


  • "Do you have more trouble than usual remembering a short list of items, such as a shopping list?"
  • "Do you have more trouble than usual following a group conversation or a plot in a TV program due to your memory?"

The authors note that they "categorized the average of the [two] scores as good, moderate, and poor SCF."

Early warning of mild cognitive impairment

Any memory decline revealed in the SCF results could herald the start of mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

MCI is a condition that often precedes Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia. However, not everyone with MCI will develop Alzheimer's.

In the United States, around 80 percent of those "who fit the definition of amnestic MCI" develop Alzheimer's disease within 7 years, according to the National Institute on Aging.

Amnestic MCI is the form of MCI that is most often tied to memory loss.

In the recent study, 55 percent of the men scored "good" on the SCF test, 38 percent scored "moderate," and 7 percent scored "poor."

Consumption of fruits and vegetables

The team split the men into five groups according to their fruit and vegetable intake. The results showed that the group that ate the most vegetables consumed about 6 servings per day, and that the group that ate the least consumed 2.

The daily consumption of fruit ranged from 3 servings for the group that ate the most to half a serving for the group that ate the least.

A comparison of the vegetable consumption against the SCF scores revealed that:


  • The men who ate the most vegetables were 34 percent less likely to report having experienced a reduction in memory function.
  • Of the men who ate the most vegetables, 6.6 percent scored poor on the SCF, compared with 7.9 percent of those who ate the least.

The results also showed a 47 percent less chance of having a poor SCF score among the men who drank orange juice every day compared with those who only drank it once per month. The link was most relevant for older men who drank orange juice every day.

In addition, men who ate the most fruit each day were the least likely to have a poor SCF score, but this link lost its strength after the team considered the effect of other foods.

The team also found that high levels of fruit and vegetable consumption near the start of the study period was linked to a lower chance of having a poor SCF score some 20 years later.

Whether or not the men kept eating lots of fruits and vegetables — up to 6 years before taking the SCF test — had no effect on the link.

The Link does not demonstrate circumstances and end results 

Because of its structure, the investigation can't presume that expending bunches of organic products, vegetables, and squeezed orange really diminishes the odds of creating memory misfortune.

The outcomes do, nonetheless — by uncovering the connections between the two, especially over a significant lot of time — bolster the possibility that eating heaps of leafy foods turns away memory decrease.

The creators contend that the way that the men did not experience trial of memory and thinking capacity toward the beginning of concentrate with the end goal to survey decay over the entire time frame isn't really a major shortcoming.

Every one of the men were or had been in callings that included long periods of preparing requiring an abnormal state of psychological fitness, for example, dentistry, optometry, and veterinary.

They likewise take note of that in light of the fact that the investigation was bound to men in these gatherings, the discoveries don't really apply to all men or ladies.
