  Proper nutrition is essential at every stage of life. The Nutrition Facts label on packaged foods and beverages is a valuable tool to help people make more informed decisions about the nutritional content of the foods they plan to purchase and eat.  The Nutrition Facts label clearly identifies: Servings Per Container Serving Size Number of Calories Per Serving The percentage of the Daily Value for each nutrient in a serving of the food Nutrient content All of this information is useful in choosing healthier foods and reducing the risk of diet-related chronic disease. Most people exceed the recommended limits for saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars, so the Nutrition Facts label can help you reduce consumption.

by ASHLEY ABRAMSON   published   APR 2, 2021   How to Get Lemon Juice Without Cutting a Lemon, According to TikTok As with most of my kitchen hacks, this one began on TikTok. It gained popularity early on in the pandemic, and when it recently resurfaced on my feed, I took it as a sign that it was time to give it a shot. Here’s how it works. Roll out your lemon . You have to  really  roll out your lemon — it should be pretty soft when you’re done. This helps break down the membrane, making it easier to juice. Pierce the non-stem side of the lemon with a wooden skewer . According to the above TikTok video, it looks like the skewer should go in about two inches. Take the skewer out and squeeze. That’s it! No seeds, no mess, no sad half-squeezed lemon that is destined to wither away. Here’s What Happened When I Tried This Trick at Home I started by rolling my lemon for about 30 seconds on my countertop, pressing firmly with my palm as I went. Then, the fun part: I stuck the wood skewer (po

  Date: March 21, 2021 Source: University of Leeds Summary: Eating processed meat has been linked with an increased risk of developing dementia, say researchers exploring a potential link between consumption of meat and development of dementia. Scientists from the University's Nutritional Epidemiology Group used data from 500,000 people, discovering that consuming a 25g serving of processed meat a day, the equivalent to one rasher of bacon, is associated with a 44% increased risk of developing the disease. But their findings also show eating some unprocessed red meat, such as beef, pork or veal, could be protective, as people who consumed 50g a day were 19% less likely to develop dementia.  The researchers were exploring whether there is a link between consumption of meat and development of dementia, a health condition which affects 5%-8% of over 60s worldwide. Their results, titled Meat consumption and risk of incident dementia: cohort study of 493,888 UK Biobank participants, are

  Alex Smolokoff  | Mar 15, 2021 According to the organization  Food Allergy Research & Education  (FARE), more than 8% of U.S. children are affected by food allergies—a total that continues to rise after jumping more than 50% over the last two decades. Now,  new research  from the University of East Anglia highlights just how much these childhood allergies may be affecting the mental health of parents trying to help their children cope. 1 The study, published in the Journal of Pediatric Psychology, indicated more than 80% of parents with children who suffer from food allergies reported experiencing “significant worry” about their child’s allergy (2021;1–10). More troubling, a whopping 42% of parents met the clinical cut-off for post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), and nearly 40% reported “moderate to extremely severe” anxiety. Parents of children who need to carry around an Epipen or similar adrenaline auto-injector were seven times more likely to experience PTSS. The study, bas
