You can eat sweets and still lose weight!…some dieters will be happy to hear such a news!

Let’s be honest: it does sound great!

After all, most diets keep you away from any sweet treats if you want to have the best results and most of us want the best results without giving up sweets!

A little bit of a contradiction there is, don’t you think so?

However, when it is scientifically proved it is hard to have doubts.

One of the latest studies signed by researchers from Tel Aviv University sustains that eating something sweet at breakfast will help you fight (more…)

Though it may be somewhat surprising, the answer to this question is actually YES.

Many of us are already aware of the negative effects that high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) can have on our health.

Many studies have connected the consumption of fructose with weight gain, liver function, diabetes risk and even the growth of cancer cells.

However, not many studies revealed the manner in which fructose impacts the brain function. But UCLA researchers decided to change that and started to analyze the behaviour of brain cells in the presence of this (more…)

It’s not important if you want to lose weight for health or fashion reasons.

The important fact is that losing weight is a long term process and you ca expect it to happen in a few months or even years, depending on your current weight.

What happens after a few lost pounds when you feel there’s no motivation left? When you see that pie or ice cream for desert in the cafeteria you could be easily tempted to forget about your diet.

That’s when IBM comes into place. The idea for this program is to offer an incentive for every health choice you make. The program recently (more…)

All my life I’ve been told that sitting up straight should be the only position to sit in, because it helps prevent back pain, spinal stenosis, lumbar pain, herniated discs and of course improves our posture.

However according to a research led by Scottish and Canadian scientists and presented at the annual meeting of Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), show that the best position to relieve the spinal strain is leaning back at about 135 degrees.

The researchers used a new form of MRI, to determine which are the best, and which are the worst positions for our spine. Twenty two volunteer (more…)

The risk of early death is raised for the people who consume a red meat moderately, a recent study points out.

The study was conducted on more than 120,000 American men and women and the findings have astonished researchers.

Apparently, the daily consumption of unprocessed red meat increases mortality risk with 13 percent. When it comes to processed meat, the death risk is even greater.

People who consume a hot dog or two strips of bacon every day face a 20 percent risk of death. According to Dr. Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health, the study’s results (more…)

In the fight with weight loss some people do their best to drop the number of pounds and shape their body the way they dream.

They follow their diet plan strictly, count calories and work out.

And yet, they are not dropping pounds.

If you have been through such an experience, then you are probably eager to understand what happens. In most cases, weight loss is hampered by a series of little habits which seem harmless at first. These habits are those that might sabotage your efforts to get a toned, fit body.

Do you „overthink” your healthy meals?

A recent report released by Yale University shows that a strange thing happens when people focus too much on making diet decisions. If you (more…)

We usually know that regular alcohol consumption elevates the risk of breat cancer but recent studies point out that red wine is an exception to this rule.

According to a research conducted by the specialists from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and published in the Journal of Women’s Health, red wine reduces breast cancer risk.

This thing is possible because of the chemicals contained in the seeds and skins of red grapes. These chemicals contribute to the diminution of estrogen levels. Also, they have the role to raise testosterone among (more…)

I was aware that a diet rich in fibres is essential for the regulation of bowel function, but, according to a new study, fibres are the most effective method to combat bowel cancer.

Published by the British Medical Journal, the study, whose main aim was to investigate the association between intake of dietary fibre and whole grains and risk of colorectal cancer, points out that for every 10 gram increase in total dietary fibre, the risk of bowel cancer lowers by 10 per cent.

The discovery does not come as a surprise for members of the medical world since, for many years, nutritionists claimed that a high intake (more…)

In my recent search for news about nutrition I came about a very interesting title that attracted my attention – „why cooking counts”.

I started immediately to read the whole article, which is in fact the summary of a study conducted by the Harvard research institute.

The research shows that cooked meat makes us more energetic than raw meat.

Through such a discovery, the study questions the validity of the current food labeling system  and suggests that humans are adapted to make cooking beneficial for them.

Further on, the study has also compared the energetic effects of (more…)
