Health News You Need To Know: August 27, 2018

August 22, 2018

1. Eat more greens to like more greens

A new study found that with repeated exposure to bitter foods, the tongue eventually found the taste to be palatable. One theory of why people typically dislike bitter foods is that it is a sign of toxicity – too much spinach might be harmful for some people. (NYT)

 

2. The more weight you lose, the healthier you will be

According to a new study published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, obese people who lost 5-10 percent of their body weight, reduced their risk for metabolic syndrome by 22 percent. Those that reduced their body weight by 22 percent, cut that risk to 50 percent. (NYT)

 

3. Sitting for too long may affect your brain health

We all know that sitting for prolonged periods of time is bad for your health, but more and more research is revealing why. A new study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology studied the flow of blood to the brain in 15 healthy adult male and female office workers during various periods of sitting and walking. What they found was reduced blood flow to the brain when participants sat for too long. (NYT)

 

4. Not too much or too little. The ideal amount of carbohydrates may be right in the middle. 

An observational study of more than 15,400 people found that those that ate a diet too high or too low in carbohydrates had a higher rate of mortality than those people who maintained moderate consumption of carbohydrates. (ScienceDaily)

 

5. Strawberries may help reduce symptoms of IBD

A new study found that just three quarters of a cup of strawberries a day could help to reduce symptoms of IBD including blood in stool and weight loss. (ScienceDaily)

 

6. Fasted workouts may not be the answer to losing more weight

A study for 12 healthy male individuals found that eating breakfast before exercising “increased the rate at which the body burned carbohydrates during exercise, as well as increasing the rate the body digested and metabolised food eaten after exercise too.” (ScienceDaily)
