Skipping Breakfast Hardens Your Arteries

According to a recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, those who skip breakfast are more likely to experience atherosclerosis, aka hardening of the arteries, than those who ate a daily, healthy meal in the morning. 1 The connection, it appears, is that those who are breakfast skippers tend to have more unhealthy diets and lifestyles than those who don't. They found in the study that overall, those who opt to skip breakfast had poorer diets, were more likely to have high blood pressure or be overweight, and were more likely to smoke or consume alcohol in excess. All of these factors lead to an increased risk for atherosclerosis. Lack of breakfast is not the cause, per se, but an indicator of other health habits. Now, when I read the study synopsis I was suddenly reminded of another study I recently perused. It linked low potassium intake with hardening of the arteries.2 I got to thinking. Does lack of a morning meal also mean less nutrient intake overall, and therefore decreased intake of critical nutrients for heart health? Think about it. If you are skipping an entire meal, one that for most provides roughly one quarter to one third of a person's daily calories and nutrients, wouldn't this eventually have an impact on nutrient status (particularly potassium) and therefore one's heart? z3VBSO6c

Health Tips for Kids

With winters come flue, cough, fever, and all those nasty diseases. All the winter fun is ruined when your kids are sick. There are multiple reasons why children are more vulnerable to get ill quicker than adults and one of those is their weak immune system. Children, especially toddlers and pre-school aged are sensitive and need additional care. Here, in this post, I am going to tell you five ways to protect your kids in winters. 1. Give them Enough Sleep When winters come, kids get excited and become hyperactive. They just want to go out and play in the snow or with school playground equipment. Just like other seasons, your little ones need the right amount of sleep in winters as well in order to stay healthy. What is more, our bodies inevitably need more sleep when days become shorter and nights get longer. However, children need it more than adults, so make them sleep enough during winters. 2. Keep them Hydrated Kids usually don't feel thirsty during winters, but their bodie...

Need to Know About A Herniated Disc

The herniated disc affection is a disorder that happens when a part of the intervertebral disc breaks and the nerve roots are being either fragmented or compressed. The spinal cord in its vicinity can also be affected inside the spinal canal. To understand better the concept of a herniated disc, you need to learn more about how the entire spine is built. The vertebral column, also called the backbone, is composed of several vertebrae which include the intervertebral discs. The role of these discs is to give the column the required elasticity and, ultimately, to move the body in all the ways needed (flexion, straightening, bending laterally etc.). These intervertebral discs have a nucleus that is formed by gelatinous proteins that give them the aforementioned elasticity. The nucleus is surrounded by a fibrous ring that is capable of fixing the nucleus in place and gives stability to the intervertebral disc itself. One very important thing that anyone should know is that the interverteb...

Mealtime and Your Underweight Child

If you're like me then you're searching for ways to get good nutritious food in your kids' belly but also finding ways to give them enough calories. Remember that as parents you are responsible for what is offered and where and when it is presented. You are also responsible for providing a safe and enjoyable environment during meal times. Children on the other hand are responsible for deciding how much food they will eat and whether they will eat at all. Make sure you: 1. Offer variety of nutritious foods. 2. Offer foods that are safe. 3. Offer serving sizes that are appropriate. 4. Eat meals at the table. 5. Eat at regular times. 6. Serve as good role models when choosing foods to eat. 7. Don't pressure or bribe the child to eat. 8. Avoid arguing or negative behaviors during meals. Children should be eating at least three meals a day with two snacks. I've had parents think their child was "always eating" but when you broke it down they weren't eati...
