Magic Garden Low Fat Soup

Posted by admin

Low fat vegetable soups are very nutritious, and give you energy without fat.

One of my favourite soups is the Magic Garden Soup.

You can cook it quickly and easily and, for of this, you can always plan b to have the ingredients available to prepare this soup when you feel you lack something tasty to eat without the fat.

This is a very nice and lite evening meal (or afternoon green evening meal?). And a great “emergency meal” when you come home and need something hot.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup sliced carrot

1/2 cup of diced onion

1 tsp minced garlic

3 cups of beef or veggie broth

1.5 cups of diced green cabbage

1/2 cup of green beans

1 Tbsp. tomato paste

1/2 tsp. dried basil

1/4 tsp. dried oregano

1/4 tsp. sharp

1/2 cup of diced zucchini

This is that which you do:

In large saucepan, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, saute the carrot, onion, and garlic over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the broth, plant of the genus, beans, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and salt, and bring to a boil.

Lower heat and simmer till the beans are tender.

Stir in zucchini and heat for about 4 minutes.

Serve hot and accompany with rice crackers.

Kids’ Obesity Linked to Ear Infections (HealthDay)

Posted by admin

THURSDAY, Aug. 14 (HealthDay News) — Damage caused by chronic ear infections in children may alter their sense of taste, making fatty and sweet foods more desirable and increasing the risk of obesity.

That's the upshot of four new studies presented Thursday at the American Psychological Association's annual meeting in Boston.

In the first study, Kathleen Daly, a professor of otolaryngology at the University of Minnesota, found that "middle ear nerve damage may play a role in affecting taste in children with recurrent ear infections or chronic ear disease who get [drainage] tubes. This harm may increase intake of fattening foods."

For the study, Daly's team followed children from birth to 2 years of age who had been treated with tubes for ear infections.

"There was a tendency, but not significant, for recurrent regard infection to lead to overweight," Daly said. "Other studies wish reported a similar relationship between ear infections and overweight. We did not find evidence for the vicissitude hypothesis: larger and heavier children were more prone to ear infections and tubes than smaller and lighter children."

In the second study, led by John Hayes of Brown University, researchers found that among 110 middle-aged women’s health with a sense of taste compatible with nerve damage, those who preferred sweet and high-fat foods tended to have larger waists.

"Surprisingly, we found that the single best predictor of body weight loss was not how much saturated fat they took in and not how often they ate high-fat foods, but-end was how much they liked high-fat and sweet foods," Hayes said.

Hayes noted that taste can vary genetically, but also through exposure to environmental changes. "Particularly with damage to the taste system and we think this happens from ear infections," he said.

Another study by Hayes' group found that preschoolers with a history of severe ear infections ate fewer vegetables, more sweets and tended to be heavier.

In the third part learn presented Thursday, led by Howard Hoffman, an epidemiologist at the U.S. National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, researchers mould that removing the tonsils had an effect on whether children would be overweight.

"Taste does have an impact on selection of food and premium diet patch," Hoffman said. "A tonsillectomy may damage one of the nerves that carry taste information. In addition, ear infections can also alter feel. Altering taste does have an weight attached the preferences for food," he said.

Hoffman's team reexamined data on 13,887 children who took part in the National Health Examination surveys during the 1960s. The researchers found that children who had had their tonsils removed were at greater risk of being overweight. Among children aged 6 to 11 who'd had a tonsillectomy, they were 40 percent more likely to be overweight at the time of the survey, compared with children who did not have a tonsillectomy.

What's more, teenage girls who'd had a tonsillectomy were 30 percent more likely to be overweight, the researchers found. Hoffman noted that tonsillectomies were a common treatment back in the 60s for chronic ear infections, which can alter the taste buds and move eating study habits.

"This data is not clinching, but it's suggestive," he said.

In the final think, Linda Bartoshuk, of the University of Florida College of Dentistry, and colleagues collected data on 6,584 people who attended a lecture series. These men and women, between 16 and 92 years old, were asked about their history of ear infections. The researchers found that those with a history of moderate to severe ear infections were 62 percent more likely to be obese.

Dr. David L. Katz, director of the Yale University School of Medicine Prevention Research Center, thinks that alteration in taste simply plays a small part in the overall obesity epidemic in the United States.

"It certainly makes sense that variations in taste, fit to many factors including a history of heed infections, could influence food preferences, total food intake and weight," he said.

However, despite variation in taste perception, variation in dietary preference, and variation in the history of ear infections, researchers have projections forecasting all if it were not that universal obesity among U.S .adults not more than several decades should current trends persist, Katz noted.

"So while the division between taste buds and vulnerability to obesity is exemplary of further exploration, the simple fact is that the entire population is vulnerable to corpulency," Katz said. "The major causes of the obesity epidemic reside in the 'obesigenic' environment, rather than on our tongues."

Statins Help Obese People After Bypass Surgery (HealthDay)

Posted by admin

FRIDAY, Aug. 15 (HealthDay News) — Statins reduce the perils facing portly people after they have the bypass surgery that restores posterity flow to an endangered heart, a study finds.

The study was done to help settle a running controversy about the ill effects of obesity in such cases, said Dr. Christina C. Wee, every fraternize professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, co-director of research in the division of general medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital and lead author of a report in the Aug. 19 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

"We understand that obesity, per se, is a risk agent conducive to developing heart disease," Wee said. "But once you develop it, is obesity else detrimental than not being overweight? There have been different studies with results going both ways."

To settle the issue, Wee and her colleagues deliberate the outcome of bypass surgery for 1,314 people in a controlled trial, using their body-mass exponent (BMI) as a measure of obesity. They found that a higher BMI was associated with a higher likelihood that arteries would become blocked again.

One arm of the trial compared progression of the condition in people given either low or high doses of a statin.

"What we found was somewhat surprising," Wee said. "With low-dose statin therapy, fatness was detrimental, with more blockage. What was unforeseen was that with high doses of the statin, obesity did not have much of an effect at all."

While statins are prescribed to lower courage levels of LDL cholesterol, the effect seen in the study probably had a different cause, Wee said.

"We know that statins do more than lower cholesterol," she said. "They lower inflammation, and people who are obese have greater inflammation. There is a allot of evidence that inflammation in general is not good. Since a person who is obese has again of that going on, statins tend to protect."

The learn offers a good argument for giving statins after bypass surgery, Wee said. "What we have power to say is that if you have heart disease, particularly if you had bypass surgery, you should be on a good dose of a statin," she said. The dosage described as "high" in the study now is regarded as test, Wee added.

"If you are overweight or obese, you really should take your statin and be assailing about it," she said. "You get much more benefit than for someone who is thinner."

Another paper in the same issue of the journal aimed at settling a controversy about the best way to measure the danger of obesity. A prevailing school of thought holds that measuring body-mass fore-finger is good enough. Anyone with a BMI of 30 or greater is obese.

Another theory is that not only the amount of fat, but also its distribution matters, with changeable ways of measuring fat in the middle part area indicating more risk of cardiovascular malady and other major problems.

A team at Harvard Medical School tried both methods of obesity measurements used on the 16,332 men in the Physicians Health Study and the 32,700 women in the women’s health's Health Study, linking incidence of cardiovascular disease to the obesity described by the two methods.

The waist fat measurements "demonstrated the strongest association with cardiovascular disease and best model fit," the researchers reported. But they added that "cardiovascular disease risk increased linearly and significantly with higher levels of all indexes."

Armchair Olympics fuels obesity fears in China (Reuters)

Posted by admin

BEIJING (Reuters) - Armchair athletics may not be an Olympic sport but it's the most popular activity in China this month, fuelling concerns about rising obesity rates.

Chinese media has even given its army of TV Olympic spectators a memory — otaku — a Japanese word that means "venerable house" and usually refers to someone nerdy who is totally devoted to a hobby to the point of not leaving home.

Figures have shown about 840 the masses of China's 1.3 billion population tuned in to tend the August 8 opening ceremony of the Beijing Games and interest is expected to stay high to August 24.

Increased TV viewing, less physical jobs and a shift away from a traditional Chinese diet rich in vegetables and carbohydrates with little animal-sourced food to a more Western premium diet patch heavier in meat, eggs and dairy has piled on the pounds.

"Lots of mothers don't know what to feed their children anymore," said Zhao Hua, who was having lunch with her 6-year-old son Tanning at a weighty McDonald's in the Olympics site.

"In the past it was good to be a bit fat on this account that it was a signify of strength but now children are getting too fat."

Figures show about a quarter of Chinese adults are obese or overweight, that is lower than many other countries but has jumped from 13 percent in 1991 through forecasts it could ruse by 2028.

By comparison World Health Organization figures show 65 percent of adult Americans in 2005 were overweight or obese.

A University of North Carolina study, published in the July/August issue of the journal Health Affairs, showed of all developing countries, only Mexico's rate of obesity was growing faster than that of China.

The World Food Program says a 6-year-old boy in China is now 13 pounds (6 kgs) heavier and almost two-and-a-half inches (6.4 cms) taller than a 6-year-old was 30 years since.

"We need to find the right investments and regulations to encourage people to adopt a healthy lifestyle, or we risk facing higher rates of death, disease, and disability and the related costs," warned researcher Barry Popkin.

The Chinese aliment has changed, with hundreds of McDonald's and KFC outlets in China, but experts also reprehend a drop off in physical smartness, with more cars and less bikes on the roads.

Chinese newspaper the People's Daily aforesaid China has fewer than seven training fields for every 10,000 Chinese, compared with 200 sports fields for each 10,000 people in United States, and Japan.

"Now all the teenagers just like to play video games and watch television and our children like McDonald's. It is not healthy," said Yu Yanbing who was tucking into some fries at McDonald's with his 3-year-old son Zixi.

Poor Coordination in Childhood Tied to Adult Obesity (HealthDay)

Posted by admin

WEDNESDAY, Aug. 13 (HealthDay News) — A lack of physical control and coordination in pupilage may be tied to an increased risk of obesity in later the breath of one’s nostrils, a new study says.

The scrutiny, published online at BMJ.com Wednesday, adds to previous studies that found poorer cognitive function in childhood may be linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes in adults.

The findings, based on 11,041 individuals in the ongoing National Child unfolding Study in Great Britain, showed that children who showed poor hand control, out at the elbows coordination, and clumsiness at age 7 in testing were more likely to be obese adults. Those with poorer functioning motor skills at age 11 also tended to be stout at age 33.

Adjusting because of factors that may ascendency the results, similar as childhood body mass and family social class, did not change the results. However, the study did not delve into specified biological processes that may explain poorer physical control and coordination in childhood with adult obesity.

"Some seasonable life exposures (such against the reason that maternal stop smoking patch during pregnancy) or personal characteristics may impair the development of physical control and coordination, as well taken in the character of increasing the risk of obesity in later life," the authors, from Imperial College London and Orebro University Hospital & Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, wrote.

"Rather than being explained by a single factor, an accumulation throughout life of many associated cultural, personal, and economic exposures is likely to lie under the risks for obesity and some elements of associated neurological function," they concluded.

Heart disease risk soars with obesity, diabetes (Reuters)

Posted by admin

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who are both obese and have diabetes are highly likable to develop purpose disease during their lifetime, a new study shows.

Researchers found that of more than 3,400 adults in a long-running U.S. heart study, women who were obese and diabetic had a nearly 80 percent chance of developing heart disease at some point. For their male enhancement counterparts, that figure was nearly 90 percent.

Lifetime risk was based on the likelihood that a 50-year-old would develop heart disease in the next 30 years.

Obesity and diabetes commonly go hand-in-hand. The new findings, published in the journal Diabetes Care, show that diabetes on its own significantly raises the lifetime risk of heart disease, and that fleshiness worsens the situation.

Dr. Caroline S. Fox of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, and her colleagues the lifetime heart disease risk of normal-weight loss women who did not have diabetes was 34 percent. The danger for normal-weight women with diabetes was 55 percent.

Among obese women’s health, those who did not have diabetes had a 47 percent fortune of developing heart disease, while the risk according to those with diabetes was 79 percent.

The pattern was homogeneous for men, with a lifetime heart disease risk of 49 percent among normal-weight, non-anti-diabetic men, and a 77 percent risk for normal-weight men with diabetes. Obese men without diabetes had a 67 percent lifetime heart disease risk, under which circumstances the risk for portly diabetic men was 87 percent.

The number of Americans with diabetes is expected to rise to 48.3 million by 2050, the researchers note, and heart disease due to diabetes appears to already be on the rise.

"This trend may continue to worsen if current trajectories achieve not change," they warn.

How Many Calories Does Michael Phelps Eat?

Posted by admin

by J. Foster

According to the NY Post, the Olympic swimming feeling eats… 12,000 calories per day.

Here’s what a days food intake looks like:

…three fried-egg sandwiches loaded by cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.

He follows that up with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes.

At luncheon, Phelps gobbles up a pound of enriched pasta and two large ham and cheese sandwiches slathered with mayo on white bread - capping off the meal by means of chugging about 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks.

For dinner, Phelps really loads up on the carbs - that which he needs to give him plenty of energy for his five-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week regimen - with a pound of pasta and an entire pizza.

Apparently he “washes all that down with another 1,000 calories worth of energy drinks”.

The BBC reports that China has instituted a ban on serving dog meat at its 112 official Olympic restaurants. The put in motion is human being of several steps China has taken not offend foreign visitors; smiling and not spitting on the streets are others.

“If a customer orders dog meat, restaurant staff should patiently remind of another entree,” Xiong Yumei, deputy director of the Beijing Tourism Bureau, told the state-run Xinhua news agency.

Dog meat is commonly eaten in many Asian countries–just Google “dog meat” and you’ll see what I mean–but it’s largely a taboo in Westernized nations, except for the hotdog of course!

Now, I don’t eat somewhat meat, but I wonder if erosive dog AND cat gives you an upset stomach.
