I cheered when The Pioppi Diet book landed on my desk this week. I'm not one for diets at all, but the chapter headings, such as: ‘Saturated fat does not clog the arteries’, ‘you can’t outrun a bad diet’, ‘stop counting calories and stop snacking’ and ‘movement is medicine’ seemed to offer answers to much-debated and hot dietary topics. As someone who has umpteen ‘healthy’ cookbooks, has dropped embarrassing sums on the latest superfoods and still doesn’t know conclusively what to eat, The Pioppi Diet appears to be a simple, science-backed guide to what we should be putting on our plates for a long and healthy life. The 21-day Lifestyle Plan also tackles the life we need to live around eating - relaxing, moving, not snacking and enjoying the odd glass of wine and square of chocolate. Authors, consultant cardiologist and health campaigner Dr Aseem Malhotra (who Jamie Oliver described as an ‘inspiration’) and filmmaker Donal O’Neill - the team behind last year’s documentary, The Big Fat Fix - take on decades of misguided public health advice, food myths and marketing campaigns which have meddled with our diets, while doing nothing to halt the march of type 2 diabetes, cancer, dementia and heart disease (low fat/high carb diets anyone?). According to the authors, the answer to the question of 'what is healthy eating?' has been right under our noses in the tiny southern Italian village of Pioppi (population 197), where people live long and healthy lives without the merest whiff of a superfood powder, a gym or even a supermarket. Pioppians live, on average, 10 years longer than anywhere else in the world and the hamlet has now been designated the home of the Mediterranean diet by UNESCO. In studies, the Mediterranean diet, consistently scores highly for longevity and significantly reduced risk of major killer diseases. A landmark 2013 PREDIMED trial funded by the Spanish government over many years found that those on the Mediterranean diet were 30 per cent less likely than those on a low-fat diet to develop heart disease and half as likely to develop type 2 diabetes. Olive oil is a key factor in the diet and women who incorporated more extra virgin olive oil into their daily diets reduced their breast cancer risk by were 68 per cent. Chilled cucumber and avocado soup The authors spent time with the inhabitants of Pioppi, working out what gave them their edge. The resulting book is a 21-Day Lifestyle Plan to "lose weight, feel great and reduce your risk of type-2 diabetes and heart disease". It advocates getting off your butt every 45 minutes. The local men of Pioppi outlive elite Tour De France cyclists by almost a decade without any scheduled exercise by walking and working (many fish for a living) going uphill and downhill and crucially varying the intensity of their activities. The plan gives daily functional movement exercises such as mountain climbers, squats, spinal rolls, warriors, lunges and lots of variations on crawling. It also addresses our stress levels, with easy breathing and relaxation exercises. When it becomes chronic, stress is known to shorten telomeres, the part of our cells that affect how we age. It also recommends intermittent fasting of 24 hours a week (as the Pioppians would have traditionally done due to food shortage) and not counting calories for weight loss on the basis that not all calories are equal - different sources of calories have different metabolic effects on the body. Socialising and sleep (minimum seven hours) are also key pillars. So what does the menu look like? You eat three meals until you are full and make sure to include a handful of nuts and two to four tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil a day. You pick your meals from the recipes provided; breakfasts (e.g. scrambled eggs, coconut pancakes, chocolate coconut porridge, Greek yogurt with berries nuts and seeds), lunches (tuna nicoise, cauliflower cheese and crispy shallots, monkfish skewers, dahl), dinners (cheese burgers, lamb stew, courgette pizza, veggie curry) and sides (salads, mixed veg, broad beans and parmesan). One day a week is a fast day where you omit breakfast and lunch. Sweet potato rosti with poached eggs and harissa creme fraiche What you won’t find are grains, breads, puddings and snacks - although I'm pretty sure the Italians eat pasta and pizza, no? Yes, but not every day, says Dr Malhotra. “Yes, the locals eat pasta – but only in small quantities, and they rarely touch sugar. They only eat dessert on a Sunday, pizza once or twice a month." You’re encouraged to go cold turkey on sugar for the 21 Day Lifestyle Plan and then have only the odd square of dark chocolate (minimum 85 per cent cocoa solids) when you've finshed the Plan. The authors give their sample week-long eating plans and it’s clear that ongoing, the Pioppi way of eating is not as restrictive as the 21 Day Plan. As well as dark chocolate, I spied Earl Grey tea, coffee and red wine. The plan comes with endorsements from some heavy hitters in the medical profession – as well as Andy Burnham, former Secretary of State for Health and now Mayor of Greater Manchester. It is full of staple ingredients that needn’t cost the earth. The challenge for many people, will be cutting right back on sugar as well as breads. I won't be ditching them completely and see the Pioppi way of eating as something to follow on the 80:20/everthing-in-moderation principle. But with the weight of evidence - both scientific and from the Pioppi inhabitants themselves - seemingly stacked firmly in its favour, if we’re serious about health, we need to go back to basics. The people of Pioppi have never left. Donal and Aseem's top ten foods 1. Extra virgin olive oil - 2 - 4tbsp daily 2. Nuts – handful daily 3. Fibrous vegetables (specifically broccoli, cauliflower, courgettes, aubergines, onions, sweet potatoes) 4. Fruits (tomatoes, avocados, apples, berries) 5. Herbs and spices (garlic, ginger, turmeric, basil, cinnamon) 6. Fatty fish 7. Dark chocolate and/or raw cacao powder 8. Coconut (oil, cream) 9. Eggs minimum 10 a week 10. Full-fat and fermented dairy	https://www.getthegloss.com/health/nutrition/is-this-the-only-diet-book-you-ll-ever-need-to-read	2022-07-05T02:41:18	en	0.951019

If it's your first vegan Christmas, or you are cooking for vegan friends and family, try this beautiful 'crown of crisps' (what's not to like?) by Jasmine Hemsley. Jasmine's speciality is bringing the flavours of the East and the Ayurvedic way of eating to our comfort-food loving Western palates (if you haven't discovered her book East by West, Simple Recipes for Ultimate Mind-Body Balance £17.50, we highly recommend you check it out). Her food philosophy, which set store by the way we prepare ingredients for optimum digestion, means that this is one plant-based recipe that's a surefire Christmas bloat avoider . It's made with traditional Indian ghee (clarified butter, better for the gut) but can be adapted for vegans by substituting with your favourite cooking oil. ' "Thinking about the flavours of Christmas, I came up with a pilaf/salad/stuffing idea of black rice and Puy lentils tossed together with some aromatics and chestnuts and cranberries of course, " says Jasmine. "Choosing Puy lentil — or beluga lentils if you can find them — means you end up with a well-cooked lentil that still has its shape, but without too much bite. Remember that what some people might look for in texture might not always be great for digestion! Black rice and wild rice too can retain that shape without being turned to mush even with a good simmer. "Soaking the rice and lentils the night before not only drastically cuts their cooking time,* but also makes them easier to digest. A dash more apple cider or red wine vinegar and some toasted pumpkin seeds to the stuffing to make a more complete meal for all Six Tastes. The Six Tastes as understood in Ayurveda are sweet, astringent (a sensation of dryness as in tea or an underripe banana), sour, salty, pungent and bitter." Serves 4 - 6 depending on sides INGREDIENTS For the rice and lentil salad stuffing: 3/4 cup beluga/puy lentils, soaked overnight, rinsed and drained 3/4 cup black rice or wild rice, soaked overnight, rinsed and drained 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1/2 tsp sea salt, to taste 1/2 tsp black pepper 2 tbsp vinegar (or use the juice from the pickled cabbage) 2 tbsp ghee or your favourite cooking oil to make vegan 1 leek, finely sliced 1 1/2 tbsp cumin powder 1 pack (200g) cooked chestnuts, sliced into thirds 1/4 cup dried cranberries, halved Handful of fresh parsley, chopped For the sweet potato wreath: 1 kg sweet potatoes (about 4 medium-large) 4 tbsp (50g) ghee, melted (or your favourite cooking oil for a vegan version) 3 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped (or 1 tbsp dried) 2 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp plus a pinch of sea salt Good grind of black pepper Fresh rosemary Small handful of dried cranberries to decorate METHOD For the rice and lentil salad stuffing: 1. Cook the soaked rice in 3/4 cup of water for 15-20 minutes until tender, tip into a colander (save any cooking liquid for soups), rinse, drain well and set aside. 2. Cook the soaked lentils in half a cup of water for 15 minutes until tender, tip into a colander (save any cooking liquid for soups), rinse, drain well and set aside. 3. Mix the cooked rice and lentils together with half a teaspoon of the salt, some black pepper and the olive oil, and set aside. 4. Melt the ghee in a large frying pan on medium heat. Add the leeks and celery and sauté for a few minutes. Add the cumin, chestnuts and cranberries to the pan and continue to sauté for a few minutes. 5. Season with a pinch of salt, then toss through the rice and lentil mixture with the fresh parsley. Set aside. For the sweet potato wreath: 1. Place a stainless steel bowl on a very low heat source. 2. Add the ghee to melt, then the smoked paprika, salt, black pepper and fresh oregano, and mix. Remove from the heat. 3. Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, then use a mandolin to finely slice them to 1-2 millimetres thick — watch your fingers! 4. Transfer in batches as you slice into the bowl of ghee and spices to stop them browning. Toss well with your hands — as the ghee starts to cool, pop the bowl on a low heat source again to melt it. 5. Take your biggest oven tray and line with baking parchment. Start to layout the potato slices in a circle, overlapping slightly as you go — I started by placing 4 evenly — in the north, south, east and west of my imaginary circle to map it out. Continue to build up the circle until all the slices are used up. Set aside.* Putting it all together: 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F/190°C fan. 2. Roast the sweet potato wreath for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges and the top are starting to brown and become more translucent, and the insides are cooked (use a skewer or knife to check). 3. Remove from the oven and fill the centre with the stuffing mix (there will probably be some leftover mix but save for extras later!), pop back into the turned-off oven for 5-10 minutes until you’re ready to serve. 4. To serve, pop some rosemary sprigs into the wreath and carefully place a few cranberries around it. Jasmine's tips If you didn’t manage to soak your lentils or rice for eight hours, don’t worry, just soak in warm water for as long as possible, then adjust cooking times and water to allow for a longer cook. *Fresh cooked is always best but it’s Christmas and you’re making more than one dish and quite possibly feeding a crowd. To make the tatty towers a day or so ahead, don’t add the salt until you’re ready to stack and pop them in the muffin tin, otherwise the salt starts to draw out their moisture. The stuffing mix works well made a day or two in advance too. Just be sure to bring to room temp or even toss in a warm pan before serving to bring to a nice ambient temperature — for your belly and the flavours!

Bidens 'shocked' by Chicago-area shooting as White House marks July Fourth President Joe Biden began Independence Day by sharing a message that looked to the country's future, but quickly had to respond to another mass shooting in the United States. "Jill and I are shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day," the president said in a statement Monday after at least six people were killed in a shooting in Highland Park, Illinois, during a July Fourth parade. Biden noted that he had "surged Federal law enforcement to assist in the urgent search for the shooter, who remains at large at this time," and pointed to the gun safety legislation he recently signed into law. "But there is much more work to do, and I'm not going to give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence," he added. Later on Monday, Biden declined to say whether stricter gun laws would have prevented the deadly shooting when pressed by CNN's MJ Lee. "We don't know the circumstances yet," he said. Vice President Kamala Harris, who's in California for the holiday, touted the recently signed legislation in her own statement, but added, "Today's shooting is an unmistakable reminder that more should be done to address gun violence in our country." In remarks commemorating July Fourth with military families at the White House later in the afternoon, Biden made reference to the new gun safety law and the Illinois shooting, saying, "You all heard what happened today. ... Each day we're reminded there's nothing guaranteed about our democracy, nothing guaranteed about our way of life." The president called on Americans to fight for democracy, while also broadly acknowledging national challenges. "Our economy is growing, but not without pain. Liberty is under assault -- assault both here and abroad," he said, alluding to the US Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade last month. "In recent days, there's been reason to think that this country is moving backwards. That freedom has been reduced. That rights we assumed are no longer -- a reminder that we remain in an ongoing battle for the soul of America, as we have for over 200 years." Video below: Police describe suspect in Illinois parade shooting The July Fourth holiday comes amid a challenging time for the nation marked by deepening division, inflation and a recent set of polling showing that the vast majority of Americans across party lines are unhappy with the state of the U.S. In an AP-NORC survey released last week, 85% of US adults say that things in the country are headed in the wrong direction, with just 14% believing things are going in the right direction. That's a more pessimistic reading than in May, when 78% said things were headed the wrong way and 21% that things were generally moving in the right direction. And currently, both 92% of Republicans and 78% of Democrats are dissatisfied with the direction of the country -- the highest number among Democrats since Biden took office last year. Video below: Hospital officials give update on shooting patients Still, Biden attempted to reassure Americans, saying, "I know it can be exhausting and unsettling, but tonight I want you to know we're going to get through all this." America, he emphasized, is and always will be a "work in progress." "It has so often been the case that after we've taken giant steps forward, we've taken a few steps backwards. And after doing the hard work of laying the foundation for a better future, the worst of our past has reached out and pulled us back on occasion. But I know this: From the deepest depths of our worst crises, we've always risen to our higher heights," Biden told the crowd on the South Lawn. "We've always come out better than we went in." Earlier in the day, Biden had released a forward-looking statement about how the "best days still lie ahead." "The Fourth of July is a sacred day in our country -- it's a time to celebrate the goodness of our nation, the only nation on Earth founded based on an idea: that all people are created equal," Biden said in a tweet. "Make no mistake, our best days still lie ahead."	https://www.wbaltv.com/article/bidens-shocked-chicago-area-shooting-white-house-marks-july-fourth/40504385	2022-07-05T02:41:50	en	0.978151

Heard seeks to throw out verdict in Depp defamation trial Amber Heard's lawyers have asked a judge to throw out the $10.35 million verdict against her in the defamation case filed by ex-husband Johnny Depp, arguing that the verdict was not supported by the evidence and that one of the jurors may not have been properly vetted by the court. In post-trial motions filed Friday, Heard's attorneys call the jury's June 1 award of $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages to Depp "excessive" and "indefensible." They ask the judge to set aside the verdict and dismiss Depp's lawsuit or order a new trial. Immediately after the verdict, the judge reduced the compensatory damages to $350,000 under a state cap. Depp sued Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse." Depp's lawyers alleged he was defamed by the article even though it never mentioned him by name. The six-week televised trial turned into a spectacle that offered a window into their dysfunctional marriage. Much of the testimony focused on Heard's claims that she had been physically and sexually abused by Depp. Heard described more than a dozen alleged assaults, including a fight in Australia — where Depp was shooting a "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequel — in which Depp lost the tip of his middle finger and Heard said she was sexually assaulted with a liquor bottle. Depp said he never hit Heard and that she was the abuser. Depp had to prove that he never assaulted Heard, that her op-ed piece defamed him and that she wrote the article with actual malice. In their post-trial motions, Heard's legal team argued that to find that Heard had actual malice, Depp would have had to show that at the time Heard's article was published, she did not believe she had been abused. "Instead, the evidence overwhelmingly supported Ms. Heard believed she was the victim of abuse at the hands of Mr. Depp," Heard's lawyers say in their motion. Heard's lawyers also ask the judge to investigate "potential improper juror service," alleging that one of the jurors who was chosen to serve on the jury was listed as being born in 1945 in documents given to the attorneys before the jury selection process, but is listed as being born in 1970 in publicly available information. "This discrepancy raises the question whether Juror 15 actually received a summons for jury duty and was properly vetted by the Court to serve on the jury," Heard's lawyers said in their motion. Depp's attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The jury also awarded Heard $2 million in her counterclaim against Depp, finding that that Heard was defamed by one of Depp's lawyers, who accused her of creating a detailed hoax that included roughing up the couple's apartment to look worse for police. In some ways, the trial was a replay of a lawsuit Depp filed in the United Kingdom against a British tabloid after he was described as a "wife beater." The judge in that case ruled in the newspaper's favor in 2020 after finding that Heard was telling the truth in her descriptions of abuse.	https://www.wbaltv.com/article/heard-seeks-throw-out-verdict-depp-defamation-trial/40504685	2022-07-05T02:42:00	en	0.990924
Joey Chestnut is chomp champ again in July 4 hot dog contest Frankfurter-munching phenom Joey "Jaws" Chestnut gobbled his way to a 15th win Monday at the Nathan's Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest, powering down 63 hot dogs and buns at the annual exhibition of excess. In a decisive chowdown comeback, women's record-holder Miki Sudo downed 40 wieners and buns to win the women's title after skipping last year's frank fest because she was pregnant. Monday also marked the contest's return to its traditional location outside Nathan's flagship shop in Brooklyn's Coney Island neighborhood. The event was relocated in 2020 and last year because of the coronavirus pandemic. "It's beautiful to be back here" in front of a throng of spectators, Chestnut told ESPN after his feat, which the 38-year-old managed while wearing a surgical boot because of a leg injury. "It hurts, but I was in the zone for a little bit. I was ignoring it," said Chestnut, but the pain eventually slowed his pace in the 10-minute competition. Last year, the Westfield, Indiana, resident topped his own record by consuming 76 franks and buns. Sudo, of Tampa, Florida, set the women's record at 48 1/2 weiners and buns in 2020, before taking last year off while expecting. She and Nick Wehry — a fellow competitive eater whom she met through the Nathan's contest in 2018 — welcomed son Max on July 8, 2021. From dad's arms, the baby watched his 36-year-old mother notch her eighth Nathan's win. She told ESPN afterward that she hoped he would someday take a message away from it. "I want to set an example," she said, "to do things that you love and push yourself to your absolute limits and, when things get difficult, to still give it a try. And, you know, you might actually just come out victorious." Sudo then took over parenting duties while Wehry tried for the men's title. In conjunction with the spectacle, Nathan's donates 100,000 franks to the Food Bank for New York City.	https://www.wbaltv.com/article/joey-chestnut-is-chomp-champ-again-july-4-hot-dog-contest/40502082	2022-07-05T02:42:10	en	0.979818
ST: What in your fridge at the moment? JZ: Chia Pods in the new dark cacao flavour for breakfast in a hurry (so good!), shelled hemp seeds for bumping up the protein and Omega-3 content of salad (they are best kept refrigerated to keep them from going rancid), a big head of red cabbage (which lasts for weeks and weeks so it's a great 'emergency veggie'), a tub of hummus, a block of tempeh, and these new edamame-mushroom burgers I found in Whole Foods the other day. Plus there's a ton of green veggies in my crisper. ST: What staples do you keep in the fridge at all times? JZ: Ton of liquids! Chi Coconut Water, Vivid Unsweetened Matcha Tea, Liquid Stevia (which I use to sweeten drinks with - it doesn't raise blood sugar levels at all so it's perfect for those watching sugar intake), and the new Plenish Almond M*lk - it's by FAR the best almond milk on the market because it contains nothing but almonds, water, and salt. Most commercial almond milks are filled with preservatives and junky ingredients like carageenan, which is a known carcinogen. ST: Which 3 veggies do you eat the most and why? JZ: I encourage my clients to only eat things they love the taste of, and I try to do the same. Like everyone I go through phases of things I love, so when I'm shopping the produce aisle I just grab whatever's really good at the time - sometimes I'm into the same veggie for two months straight! But I don't stress about it. I don't think you have to vary things as much as the nutrition industry would have you believe - it's variety over the course of the whole year that counts. Right now I'm craving cucumber, asparagus, and hearts of palm. ST: Are there any ingredients you keep in there for flavouring up your food? JZ: I am obsessed with fresh herbs and can't make a salad without throwing in a handful each of mint and coriander. Herbs are just as nutritious (if not more) than dark leafy greens, so I treat them like a serving of veggies rather than just a condiment. I love Coconut Aminos by Coconut Secret, which tastes kind of like soy sauce, but super clean and healthy. The same brand also does a Coconut Vinegar which has the same benefits as apple cider vinegar, and a teriyaki kind of sauce. I rotate between all 3 and they're all super yummy. ST: Is there any alcohol in there? JZ: I have a glass of red wine very occasionally (maybe a dozen times a year), but when I do I absolutely adore Jordan Estate's Chameleon Red - it's an organic, sulphate-free Cabernet/Merlot blend that is soooo smooth and light. Did you know that wine is the one food and drink category where organic is cheaper than conventional? It's a great reason to switch, especially since it's usually the heavy use of chemicals in wine that give us the next-day headaches. Wine is not regulated the same way that food is, so manufacturers can sneak a lot of nasty stuff in there. ST: What do you use instead of butter? JZ: Tahini! I can't get enough. I always have a tub in my fridge as a fallback source of fat, given that avocados in this country are hit and miss. ST: What do you always run out of or get to the bottom of and need more? JZ: French's Yellow Classic Mustard - it goes with everything (and surprisingly, doesn't contain junky fillers). Lemons and limes, as I put them on everything, oh and olive oil plus a good quality salt. ST: What unusual ingredients do you keep in there? JZ: There's nothing so unusual in my fridge, but my cabinets are full of medicinal superfood powders! I make a superfood hot chocolate every morning and I throw in all kinds of healthy powders like pearl powder, he shou wu, reishi mushroom, chaga, cordyceps, mucuna and ashwagandha. Again Amazon is a one-stop shop for all of these things. I mix a few of these in with some cacao powder, stevia and maca, then pour in a generous dose of frothy almond milk - it comes out like a latte!

I hadn’t actually wanted to change my diet, I’d fought against it pretty hard at first. But five years ago, I was headed for a hysterectomy at the age of 33, because of my Stage 4 endometriosis. I couldn’t get out of bed most mornings because my pain had become so severe. I underwent multiple surgeries; I tried conventional painkillers, fancy yoga and even therapy to help with the depression that comes with chronic pain. Nothing worked. When my doctors said they were out of solutions to and advised me to undergo a hysterectomy, I agreed because I thought it would end my pain. But an email from a friend changed my life. She sent me a link to a website that explained how eating a plant-based diet could help alleviate some of the pain and symptoms of endometriosis. I was pretty sceptical. I mean, if the right nutrition could help me, why hadn’t my doctors told me this? And then I read what I had to eat. No sweets? No cheese? No fun? I had zero faith that the diet would work, and whatever-is-less-than-zero faith that I could actually stick to whatever this plant-based thing was. But I’m also a people pleaser and I didn’t really actually want to have the surgery. So I told my friend I would give it a try. And it worked. I couldn’t believe it. It actually worked. Within weeks, my pain began to fade. After a month, my eyes seemed to open a little wider, and I had more energy. Within three months, I was a completely different person. After six months, my husband said I had “my sparkle back.” I conquered But I’m also a people pleaser and I didn’t really actually want to have the surgery. So I told my friend I would give it a try. And it worked. I couldn’t believe it. It actually worked. Within weeks, my pain began to fade. After a month, my eyes seemed to open a little wider, and I had more energy. Within three months, I was a completely different person. After six months, my husband said I had “my sparkle back”. I conquered the insomnia that had plagued me for a dozen years. I finally got a handle on my depression. I felt the best I’d ever felt - and I told my doctors I didn’t need that hysterectomy after all. Changing my diet truly changed my life and I want everyone - sick, healthy and in between- to have the opportunity to benefit from real food in the same way that I did. One Part Plant (OPP) is my eating philosophy; it means at least one meal a day is made up of real, whole, plant-based foods. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you pick. Once a day you’ll create, pick up, or order in (no shame in that) a plant-based meal. Doctors, nutritionists and dieticians have debated for years what the best diet is for overall health. One idea remains pretty consistent: inflammatory foods are not our friends I’m not here to tell you what you can and can’t eat, that said, it wouldn’t make a lot of sense if I didn’t explain why certain foods - for example, ones that start with ch and end with eese - are not considered to be part of a plant-based diet. That reason is inflammation. Doctors, nutritionists and dieticians have been debating for years what the best diet is for overall health. One idea remains pretty consistent in every camp: inflammatory foods are not our friends. Chronic inflammation has been linked to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression and Alzheimer’s. We also know that women with endometriosis can experience more severe symptoms when they consume inflammatory foods. And even if you are fortunate enough to never experience one of these major illnesses, there’s still a pretty good chance that inflammation will get in the way of you feeling your absolute best in some other way, such as persistent skin problems or digestive issues. The main culprits include processed and packaged foods, dairy products, red meat, sugar, fried foods, soda, refined carbohydrates (pastries, white bread) and alcohol. By becoming more aware of these foods, you can pay attention to how they’re making you feel when you eat them. Some people experience inflammation after eating grains, corn, soy, and nightshade vegetables (aubergine, peppers, tomatoes, and potatoes). Each of us has a unique body, and we all react uniquely to different foods, even those that are widely considered to be “healthy.” The important thing is not to swear off these foods completely, but to gain an awareness of how your body reacts when you eat them. MORE GLOSS: Lena Dunham on the healing power of One Part Plant "Wait a second," you may be thinking. "You forgot about gluten. Isn’t that THE biggest cause of inflammation?!" I know, I know. I was just getting to that. When it comes to gluten, everyone has an opinion. Some experts say it’s the worst thing you could possibly put in your body, and others that say it’s perfectly safe. Personally, I don’t include much gluten in my diet. For my body, it can cause pretty serious inflammation, which isn’t great for endometriosis. I eat it on occasion, maybe once a month. I usually stick to gluten-free grains, gluten-free flours and sprouted breads. If you do decide to go 100 percent gluten-free, a word of warning: a lot of brands remove the gluten from a food but then replace it with a whole slew of ingredients that might make you feel even worse (examples of these are processed starches, soy, and various sugars). I recommend eating foods that are naturally gluten-free instead of foods that are chemically altered to be that way. MORE GLOSS: Should you go gluten-free? I don’t want all this talk about gluten and inflammatory foods to scare you away. Remember, we’re starting with just one plant-based meal a day - it doesn’t have to be every meal. After changing my own diet, I know that subscribing to an all-or-nothing approach is a recipe for failure. Labelling the way we eat doesn’t help much either - and there’s a lot of labelling these days: paleo, raw, fruitarian, ketogenic, and lots more. When we label, it can slowly become not just a diet but our personal identity too. If we go off course and eat some grains or a piece of cheese, we feel that we’ve failed. I know I’m making this all sound so easy and breezy, the reality is, changing your eating habits can be a challenge. For me. It was emotional. I questioned whether it was worth it. I wondered if just getting the surgery would be easier than changing the food on my plate. So what kept me going? I was feeling the results of my efforts every day.

An anti-diet diet book is something of an oxymoron, but registered dietitian Jo Travers saw a gap in the market for a healthy eating guide for those that would normally buy the latest diet book, but in reality struggle with the restrictive nature of most regimes. Making basic nutritional principles relevant to everyday eating is the aim of Jo’s game, as is the dispelling of any notion that deprivation, food-shaming and “being on a diet” work (they don’t, either physically or mentally). From unpicking complex relationships with food and yo-yo dieting to reassessing concepts of what’s “good” and what’s “bad”, the ethos of Jo's book, The Low Fad Diet , is firmly on helping people to eat food and enjoy it while maintaining optimum health and not obsessing over the latest food fad. Got an appetite for grounded nutritional wisdom? So do we. We asked Jo what ‘low-fad’ really means, and how seeing food for what it really is could benefit everything from our waistline to our mental health. Get The Gloss: Could you sum up ‘the low-fad diet’ in a sentence? Jo Travers: A no-nonsense guide to what constitutes a healthy, balanced diet. GTG: What inspired you to write it? JT: There are a lot of diet books around and I hesitated to add to this already saturated market, but the need for this book becomes more and more apparent each February when I find myself inundated with clients who haven’t managed to succeed with their latest dieting attempt. Many of them had tried every diet going and still weigh more than they did when they embarked on their very first weight loss scheme. I first decided to put pen to paper and write The low-fad diet when it became clear to me that people will always buy diet books. I felt there needed to be a sensible one out there for people to choose. GTG: Who might your book help? JT: I first wanted to help the yo-yo dieters and the people who feel like they are doomed to be “on a diet” for the rest of their lives. And I wanted to help people who hate diets. The idea has, however, evolved since then. Its scope has expanded in that the low-fad diet is also for people who have a tricky relationship with food. For instance, people who comfort eat and hate that they do it, and people who dread big events because they can’t resist the non-stop nibbles. It is for everyone who wants to stop thinking about food all day. I’ve written it for those that want or need to lose weight and be healthy but don’t have the time or inclination to follow a complex diet dictated by a guru. At the end of the day most people want a few basic guidelines to help them to make better choices. GTG: What does healthy eating mean to you? JT: Healthy eating is getting a good balance of nutrients. That means including all of the food groups in your diet, in the right quantities for you. GTG: What bugs you most about the dieting industry? Any fads in particular that make your blood boil? JT: I really hate those adverts that you see everywhere online- “do this one thing and belly fat will be a thing of the past.” This is obviously an enormously attractive idea, but it’s complete nonsense unfortunately. I also get very fed up with people who are down on bread. A lot of clients come to me in clinic and say things like “I have toast for breakfast, which I know I shouldn’t”. There is nothing wrong with bread unless you have a wheat or gluten allergy. It upsets me that people are made to feel so guilty about the food that they eat. We need to eat all the time in order to survive so if we feel guilty about it it can lead to a very miserable life. GTG: How can the general public be more aware and informed regarding food fads vs. truth? JT: Be discerning about who you listen to. Does the person giving out information have relevant experience or a degree in the subject that they’re talking about? Or are they basing their advice on their own life, a celebrity anecdote, a commercial venture or on the basis that they’re getting paid a lot for advertising on their YouTube channel? Find out where people are coming from and if they’re being motivated by external factors before you absorb what they’ve got to say. GTG: The book has a chapter on 'food and mood'- what's the link between the two in your view? JT: Food and mood are closely related . Whether you feel irritable because you haven’t eaten or you feel like you need to eat comfort food because you’ve had a hard day, the two things are difficult to separate. We have a couple of things going on here. On the one hand there is the psychological prop of having something comforting, and on the other there is the biological need for nutrients. Both are important. Your brain tissue is essentially dictated by your diet; chemical messengers in the brain are regulated by the food you eat and the brain’s energy source comes back to what you’re consuming, so if you aren’t getting everything you need then this can have an impact on brain function. Brain health isn’t the only link regarding food and the mind. Food performs so many functions for humans. Sure, we need it for fuel, but it also has a role in bonding, creativity, celebration, religion and pleasure. On the flip side of that is food as the stressor: am I eating too much, has my child eaten enough vegetables, is my weight okay, is it healthy? There’s a lot of anxiety around being hungry or trying to resist food. GTG: Any food myths you'd like to bust? JT: Yes! Carbs are not bad . Our bodies have evolved to use carbohydrate as a primary source of fuel. If carbs were so bad for us, this wouldn’t be the case. Myth busting is quite a large element of my book actually. GTG: Where do you think that the food industry is headed? JT: I hope it’s headed to a good place, but I think it will need a bit of help along the way. For example, the industry has managed to do very well in terms of reducing salt and damaging fat in food, but it may not have done that without external pressure. Government policy was required, and the charity sector had to contribute resources to get the word out too. We are starting to see the same thing happening with sugar now, as advertising regulations are forcing manufacturers to reformulate products aimed at children. We do all have a collective responsibility, including consumers. If consumers demand healthier food, then hopefully manufacturers will deliver. A healthy, balanced diet: the dietitian’s take “What is this elusive “healthy balanced diet”? We are constantly bombarded with headlines claiming breakthrough research into the latest health trends. The all-hailed superfoods that promise to provide the elixir of health – if you include them in your diet you will lose weight and live longer. Some things I’ve been asked to comment about recently include the health “cheese” that contained no fat (and consequently a whole array of ingredients that are not quite food), the benefits of eating avocado stones, and a “cleanse” that involved eating nothing but potatoes. How do we know what to believe? By its very nature, science is always making new discoveries, and thank goodness – otherwise we’d all still be smoking in order to help our chesty cough. But you need to have a degree in nutrition in order to decode the headlines and that’s where a dietitian’s analysis really comes in useful!” “There are always some caveats. What is healthy depends an awful lot on your health perspective and priorities, and this is where you will often find contradictions in the advice. If you are trying to gain weight, full-fat dairy products are brilliant. If you are trying to lower your cholesterol, not so much. White bread is a better source of iron than wholemeal bread because the wholegrain part of the flour found in wholemeal bread interferes with iron absorption. So if you are anaemic, white bread is a better choice than wholemeal bread. If you are trying to lose weight and want to feel fuller for longer, wholemeal is a better choice. It’s so important to think about the context of food and nutrients rather than just blanket labelling them good or bad.” “Some foods are associated with a greater risk of ill health than others though, so what do you do about them? Red meat has been linked with an increased risk of colorectal, prostate and pancreatic cancer, but it’s also a great source of protein, iron, vitamin B12, zinc etc. You can definitely get by without red meat but there is no need to exclude it altogether, unless of course you’re a vegetarian or vegan. By the same reasoning it is perfectly acceptable to eat ice cream as part of a healthy balanced diet. Although ice cream is a source of sugar and saturated fat, it is also a source of energy, protein and calcium. If eaten in moderation these foods are very unlikely to do you harm. Even processed pork, one of the most denounced foods, was recently shown to increase the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%, but to be in the bracket for that increased risk you’d have to eat more than 50g (about four rashers of bacon or a hot dog) every day. The odd slice of ham in a sandwich is not going to increase your risk by much at all.” “Having said all this, the choices you make do have an effect on your health. The food that you eat has an impact on whether you lose weight, keep cholesterol down, keep blood pressure within safe limits, develop type 2 diabetes or contract other diet-related diseases.” “A healthy balanced diet consists of three elements: What you eat This refers to the different food groups, which provide all the nutrients necessary for health When you eat This is your meal pattern How much you eat Your portion sizes from each food group Without these three elements it’s pretty difficult to have a healthy balanced diet, so that’s where I start with all my clients.” Extracted from The Low-Fad Diet by Jo Travers, £6.99, buy online Follow Jo on Twitter @LDNnutritionist and Anna @AnnaMaryHunter	https://www.getthegloss.com/health/nutrition/jo-travers-i-get-very-fed-up-with-people-who-are-down-on-bread	2022-07-05T02:43:21	en	0.96978
This tabbouleh tastes fresh and healthy, and leaving it to sit means that all the flavours develop nicely.

Poor, partied out and a little plumper round the edges: our post-holiday comedown is starting to weigh us down. So what can we do to turn the tables and keep the January blues at bay? We asked a dream team of Get The Gloss Experts for their recommendations on how we can boost both body and mind to ensure we put our best foot forward in the New Year. From the best ways to reset our mindsets to grocery shop mood-boosters, advice on how to sleep better to nutrition and weight loss tips that don’t leave a sour taste in our mouths, these tips could prove to be the perfect way to kick start our 2015s and create a range of new healthy habits to carry on through January and beyond. 1. Get a health check “A health check or health MOT is a great way to start the New Year,” advises GP Dr Anita Sturnham . “Not only does it help to motivate you to start the year off on a good foot, but it is also a good opportunity to ensure that your body is healthy. Most health checks include assessments such as body composition measurements to assess your body fat, muscle and hydration levels, blood tests to check your immune system, liver, kidneys, thyroid gland and heart disease and diabetes and blood pressure and lung assessments to ensure that your vital organs are healthy. “It is also a good opportunity to review diet and lifestyle factors with a doctor and ensure that you have advice about how to keep yourself happy and healthy in the year ahead.” 2. Shun the drastic diet “Pack away the scales. Don't be tempted to go on a restrictive diet in January,” warns nutritional therapist Henrietta Norton . “Rather than focusing on reducing quantity during January, put your thoughts to improving the quality of your food. January is a month of restoration after the festivities of Christmas. Look to build in warming stews and broths that can be light on digestion and full of nourishment.” MORE GLOSS: 5 ways to overcome emotional eating for good 3. Conscious breathing “I always start my day with a short series of deep breathing exercises or 10 minutes of yoga,” says personal trainer and Bodyism Founder James Duigan. “This gets my body energised for the day ahead. Try setting a few minutes each day aside for breathing exercises. Not just any old breathing though. Make sure you take deep breathes – breathing from the lower abdominals right up to the top of your chest. If you are struggling to get the breathing right, imagine you have a balloon in your belly which you need to inflate and deflate. Finally, remember to just breathe from the stomach - the chest mustn't move.” 4. Sleep sense “If you have poor sleep, you may be tired in the daytime, have reduced concentration, become irritable, or just not function well. If the insomnia continues, it can increase the risk of developing conditions including diabetes, depression, high blood pressure and strokes,” cautions Dr Sturnham. “Boost your sleep by cutting out the caffeine - do not have any food, medicines or drinks that contain caffeine or other stimulants for six hours before bedtime. Some people have found that cutting out caffeine completely helps. “Banish the cigarettes: do not smoke within six hours before bedtime. Bin the booze: ideally try not to drink alcohol within six hours before bedtime. No late night feasts: do not have a heavy meal just before bedtime, (although a light snack may be helpful). Exercise helps but not late at night: do not do any strenuous exercise within four hours of bedtime. This may increase the amount of adrenaline your body produces, making it difficult to get to sleep.” Tempted to get a quick cat nap in? Try to resist the urge. “No matter how tired you are, do not sleep or nap during the day,” advises Dr Sturnham. It could throw your sleep schedule off-kilter. 5. Stick with a routine “Control your body’s sleep rhythm - try to get into a daily routine to establish a sleep pattern,” recommends Dr Sturnham. “Going to bed at the same time each night and getting up at the same time each morning, even at weekends can help. The body becomes used to rhythms or routines. If you keep to a pattern, you are more likely to sleep well.” 6. Give your gut a helping hand “Include plenty of prebiotic foods to help stimulate beneficial bacteria in the gut as a happy gut creates a more balanced and happier state of mind,” recommends nutritional therapist Eve Kalinik . “These include fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kefir, miso, onions, leeks, Jerusalem artichokes and garlic.” 7. Boost mind with magnesium “Deficiency in magnesium can reduce serotonin levels and recent research has shown that supplementing with magnesium can bring about improvements in treatment-resistant depression and anxiety,” says Henrietta Norton. “Build in magnesium-rich delights such as oats, millet, pumpkin seeds, almonds and chard. “As 70% of western women are estimated to be deficient in magnesium, supplementing your diet, preferably in a Food-State form such as Wild Nutrition’s Magnesium , £16.50 can be very supportive.” 8. The power of exercise “Embrace exercise as part of your life and who you are,” says James Duigan. “The way you think has such a profound effect on your body so be kind to yourself - really learn to love and accept yourself. Believe me, it is the fastest and most effective way of looking and feeling amazing - it really does empower you to make better choices for yourself.” MORE GLOSS: 12 ways to stay motivated to keep fit 9. Caffeine substitutes Give your trusty afternoon latte a New Year switch up with a healthier alternative to help curb your afternoon lull. “Swap your obvious stimulants such as caffeine and chocolate out for more natural alternatives such as raw cacao, green tea or cocoa nibs,” recommends Eve Kalinik. 10. Omega-3 your diet “Scientific studies have shown foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids to be beneficial for our hearts but it turns out that what's good for our hearts is also good for our brains too. Boost your mood and your concentration with omega-3 rich foods that will feed your brain cells and also help to keep your nerve fibres healthy,” recommends Dr Sturnham. “The foods highest in omega-3 fatty acids include seafood, especially tuna, salmon and mackerel as well as walnuts, canola oil, and flax seed. Because sugary foods flood the body with glucose and cause hyperactivity in the process, these moderate the release of glucose and provide a more balanced energy supply.” 11. Add colour to your meals “Colour can change our mood, whether it’s in our interiors, clothes or our food. Warming reds, oranges and yellows for example can help us to feel brighter and lifted. Use spices such as ginger and turmeric to add warmth and colour to your food,” recommends Henrietta Norton. MORE GLOSS: Amelia Freer shows us how to eat the rainbow 12. Boost your B and A vitamins “Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine is an essential nutrient for the central nervous system,” says Dr Sturnham. “Vitamin B6 is needed in the body for the production of certain neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine. Symptoms of vitamin B6 deficiency include irritability, short attention spans and short term memory loss. Vitamin B6 is naturally found in brown rice, legumes, whole grains and meats. “Vitamin B12 or cyanocobalamin is another brain-boosting nutrient. Supplementation with the vitamin helps improve focus and mood. Along with Vitamin B6 and B9, cyanocobalamin is needed in the body for synthesising and regulating neurotransmitters,” explains Dr Sturnham. “Vitamin B3 or niacin is important for general metabolism and to improve the absorption of essential minerals and vitamins from the gastrointestinal tract. Vitamin A is an important nutrient for healthy vision and nerve function. It binds to the rods and cones of the eyes where it is responsible for capturing light and triggering signals in the optic nerve.” Want to incorporate more of these vitamins into your diet? “Eat plenty of brightly coloured fruit and vegetables such as tomatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes and green leafy vegetables,” recommends Dr Sturnham. 13. Get your vitamin D fix “Vitamin D acts on the areas of your brain that are linked to depression and low levels of this fat-soluble vitamin have been linked with symptoms of seasonally affected depression,” warns Henrietta Norton. “Foods such as eggs, butter and mushrooms exposed to sunlight are a really good source. Sun exposure is low during the winter months and if like me, you're not jetting off to Caribbean shores, supplementing with a Vitamin D3 supplement between the months of October and April can be a great support. Look for Vitamin D supplements that provide the biologically active form (1,25 (OH) vitamin D) found in food and Food-State supplements rather than commonly used storage form (25 (OH) vitamin D).” 14. Amp up your tocopherols (vitamin E) “Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant which is essential for mopping up harmful free radicals in the body,” explains Dr Sturnham. “In this way, they are also protective and can prevent structural damages in the neurons of the central nervous system.” Boost your vitamin E artilleries with a few shop to shelf trolley essentials. “Sunflower seeds, avocados and spinach, kale, Collard greens and nuts – almonds and some other nut varieties contain vitamin E and more great nutrients. Fruits like papaya and kiwi are sources of vitamin E. Vitamin E is also important for eye health. Its deficiency can lead to retinopathy, an eye disease.” 15. Treat exercise like a meeting “Not only is exercise great for keeping our hearts strong and our weight healthy but we also know that when we exercise we produce increased levels of endorphins and serotonin (happy hormones) which improve our mood and energy levels,” explains Dr Sturnham. “Aim to do some form of exercise 3-4 times a week for at least 30 minutes at a time. This doesn't have to mean a work out in a gym either. A brisk walk, gardening, dancing, getting off the bus or tube stop early and walking the rest of the way all count as exercise.”	https://www.getthegloss.com/health/nutrition/kick-start-your-2015-15-ways-to-keep-the-january-blues-at-bay	2022-07-05T02:44:22	en	0.932735

The shooting occurred at a spot on the parade route where many residents had staked out prime viewing points early in the day for the annual celebration. Dozens of fired bullets sent hundreds of parade-goers — some visibly bloodied — fleeing. They left a trail of abandoned items that showed everyday life suddenly, violently disrupted: A half-eaten bag of potato chips; a box of chocolate cookies spilled onto the grass; a child’s Chicago Cubs cap. “There’s no safe place,” said Highland Park resident Barbara Harte, 73, who had stayed away from the parade fearing a mass shooting, but later ventured from her home. Highland Park Police Chief Lou Jogmen said a police officer pulled over Robert E. Crimo III about five miles north of the shooting scene, several hours after police released the man's photo and an image of his silver Honda Fit, and warned the public that he was likely armed and dangerous. Authorities initially said he was 22, but an FBI bulletin and Crimo's social media said he was 21. Police declined to immediately identify Crimo as a suspect but said identifying him as a person of interest, sharing his name and other information publicly was a serious step. Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said at a news conference “several of the deceased victims” died at the scene and one was taken to a hospital and died there. Police have not released details about the victims or wounded. Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek said the five people killed at the parade were adults, but didn’t have information on the sixth victim who was taken to a hospital and died there. One of those killed was a Mexican national, Roberto Velasco, Mexico’s director for North American affairs, said on Twitter Monday. He said two other Mexicans were wounded. NorthShore University Health Center received 26 patients after the attack. All but one had gunshot wounds, said Dr. Brigham Temple, medical director of emergency preparedness. Their ages ranged from 8 to 85, and Temple estimated that four or five patients were children. Temple said 19 of them were treated and discharged. Others were transferred to other hospitals, while two patients, in stable condition, remained at the Highland Park hospital. “It is devastating that a celebration of America was ripped apart by our uniquely American plague,” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker said at a news conference. “I’m furious because it does not have to be this way... while we celebrate the Fourth of July just once a year, mass shootings have become a weekly — yes, weekly — American tradition.” The shooter opened fire around 10:15 a.m., when the parade was about three-quarters through, authorities said. Highland Park Police Commander Chris O’Neill, the incident commander on scene, said the gunman apparently used a “high-powered rifle” to fire from a spot atop a commercial building where he was “very difficult to see.” He said the rifle was recovered at the scene. Police also found a ladder attached to the building. “Very random, very intentional and a very sad day,” Covelli said. President Joe Biden on Monday said he and first lady Jill Biden were “shocked by the senseless gun violence that has yet again brought grief to an American community on this Independence Day.” Biden signed the widest-ranging gun violence bill passed by Congress in decades, a compromise that showed at once both progress on a long-intractable issue and the deep-seated partisan divide that persists. As a word of an arrest spread, residents who had hunkered in homes began venturing outside, some walking toward where the shooting occurred. Several people stood and stared at the scene, with abandoned picnic blankets, hundreds of lawn chairs and backpacks still where they were when the shooting began. Police believe there was only one shooter but warned that he should still be considered armed and dangerous. Several nearby cities canceled events including parades and fireworks, some of them noting that the Highland Park shooter was still at large. The Chicago White Sox also announced on Twitter that a planned post-game fireworks show is canceled due to the shooting. More than 100 law enforcement officers were called to the parade scene or dispatched to find the suspected shooter. More than a dozen police officers on Monday surrounded a home listed as an address for Crimo in Highland Park. Some officers held rifles as they fixed their eyes on the home. Police blockaded roads leading to the home in a tree-lined neighborhood near a golf course, allowing only select law enforcement cars through a tight outer perimeter. Crimo, who goes by the name Bobby, was an aspiring rapper with the stage name Awake the Rapper, posting on social media dozens videos and songs, some ominous and violent. In one animated video since taken down by YouTube, Crimo raps about armies “walking in darkness” as a drawing appears of a man pointing a rifle, a body on the ground and another figure with hands up in the distance. A later frame shows a close-up of a chest with blood pouring out and another of police cars arriving as the shooter holds his hands up. In another video, in which Crimo appears in a classroom wearing a black bicycle helmet, he says he is “like a sleepwalker… I know what I have to do,” then adds, Everything has led up to this. Nothing can stop me, even myself.” Crimo’s father, Bob, a longtime deli owner, ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Highland Park in 2019, calling himself “a person for the people.” Highland Park is a close-knit community of about 30,000 people located on the shores of Lake Michigan just north of Chicago, with mansions and sprawling lakeside estates that have long drawn the rich and sometimes famous, including NBA legend Michael Jordan, who lived in the city for years when he played for the Chicago Bulls. John Hughes filmed parts of several movies in the city, including “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Sixteen Candles” and “Weird Science.” Ominous signs of a joyous event suddenly turned to horror filled both sides of Central Avenue where the shooting occurred. Dozens of baby strollers — some bearing American flags, abandoned children’s bikes and a helmet bedecked with images of Cinderella were left behind. Blankets, lawn chairs, coffees and water bottles were knocked over as people fled. Gina Troiani and her son were lined up with his daycare class ready to walk onto the parade route when she heard a loud sound that she believed was fireworks — until she heard people yell about a shooter. In a video that Troiani shot on her phone, some of the kids are visibly startled at the loud noise, and they scramble to the side of the road as a siren wails nearby. “We just start running in the opposite direction,” she told The Associated Press. Her 5-year-old son was riding his bike decorated with red and blue curled ribbons. He and other children in the group held small American flags. The city said on its website that the festivities were to include a children’s bike and pet parade. Troiani said she pushed her son’s bike, running through the neighborhood to get back to their car. "It was just sort of chaos,” she said. “There were people that got separated from their families, looking for them. Others just dropped their wagons, grabbed their kids and started running.” Debbie Glickman, a Highland Park resident, said she was on a parade float with coworkers and the group was preparing to turn onto the main route when she saw people running from the area. “People started saying: ‘There’s a shooter, there’s a shooter, there's a shooter,’” Glickman told the AP. “So we just ran. We just ran. It’s like mass chaos down there.” She didn’t hear any noises or see anyone who appeared to be injured. “I’m so freaked out,” she said. “It’s just so sad.” ___ Foody contributed from Chicago.

EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – On Monday, Austin High School’s Jayden Wilson revealed where he’d be taking his talents to at the next level. The two-way star announced his commitment to the University of New Mexico. The opportunity to play at the NCAA Division I College Football level is one that came from all of Wilson’s hard work. “My whole life, that is what I worked for,” said Wilson. “Just to know that I’ve pretty much accomplished that goal and have a spot secured playing DI [Division One] football, I don’t know how to put that feeling into words, it is amazing.” Wilson tells KTSM that the Lobos football program was the first school to give him the opportunity to play at the division one level. What the Lobos saw in Wilson is what made the six-foot-two, two-way star choose UNM. “UNM [University of New Mexico] was the first school to five me an opportunity. They watched my film and they saw talent,” said Wilson. “Other schools obviously are not seeing what UNM saw so I am just so grateful for the opportunity that they are giving me so I decided to commit to them.” Wilson tells KTSM that the Lobos are planning to use him as a linebacker once he arrives to the program. In his junior campaign, Wilson played both linebacker and running back, as he rushed for 1,414 yards, collected 14 rushing touchdowns, and had 116 tackles on the defensive side of the ball. With Wilson’s commitment, he is now the fifth El Paso high school player in the Class of 2023 to have committed to a division one football program. He now joins Canutillo running back L.J.

Okay, so a spiralizer is still in the equipment requirements list of A Year of Beautiful Eating , but Madeleine’s Shaw ’s latest recipe book is more a celebration of slow release starches, high quality meat and fresh produce than a tome on carb avoidance and general food group dodging, as some may assume given this year’s Clean Eating backlash . Here’s what to take from it: 1. There are potatoes And your average household spud too, not just its sweeter orange Instagram star of a sister. Alongside the humble tattie you’ll find legit rice pudding, beef kebabs and easy, balanced, throw together tray bakes that, while admittedly light on the gluten, are genuinely delicious and don’t involve sourcing expensive unicorn juice or hemorrhaging your wages in Wholefoods. Which brings us to… 2. Forget “beautiful”, it’s good for your budget While your skin may no doubt glow after tucking into beta carotene rich vegetables and the like, what is concretely unarguable is that if you do cook and shop as Shaw advises throughout the year, you’re likely to save money while keeping meals wholesome. Want to eat high quality meat? Buy it less often and choose cheaper cuts of higher welfare meat as Shaw advises. Ditto fish- buying less well known but equally nutritious varieties could save both your wallet, and the world if you’re feeling philosophical, as overfishing continues to damage our natural resources. Heavy but true. On a happier note, bulk batch cooking ensures you’ll always have something for lunch rather seeing your bank balance dwindle in the wake of Pret runs. Plus, the seasonal aspect is very often economically sound too, given that a surge of summer fruit is likely to result in lower prices when we shop. Speaking of dining according to Mother Nature’s calendar… 3. There’s heaps to eat Aside from the 100+ recipes in the book, Shaw includes a table of what’s in season when, in case you fear that mid Jan could prove a bit barren (get psyched for parsnip fries). Given that a poll of 2000 Brits by the BBC revealed that 86 per cent of us consider eating seasonally important, yet only 5% can identify when blackberries are at their best, a large list of fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, fish and shellfish that are rocking it at different times of the year could prove a wise companion to the weekly shop. You’ll be supporting British farmers all the more, likely getting a good deal on what’s in your basket and savouring stuff that simply tastes better. Think juicy peaches come summertime, warm-your-cockles celeriac mash during the winter months and tart rhubarb at springtime. When it’s right, it’s right.	https://www.getthegloss.com/health/nutrition/madeleine-shaw-this-book-isn-t-about-food-fads	2022-07-05T02:45:24	en	0.932271
From hot flashes to night sweats , hormone replacement therapy to alternative treatments, identifying and dealing with the consequences of menopause can prove to be a difficult, painful and often confusing task. While groundbreaking new research has shown the menopause may be reversible, the fact remains that it will affect 100 per cent of women - and yet it's still a topic of taboo. “Menopause is a natural stage of life that all women go through. It can be a frightening time for some women, who don’t understand why their body is changing in such a way,” comments GP and Get The Gloss Expert Dr Anita Sturnham . With its far-reaching consequences affecting our moods, minds, bodies and internal thermostats, finding ways to deal with its unpleasant side-effects can often turn out to be a fruitless journey of trial and error. So, what really works? We asked Dr Sturnham for the menopause symptoms to be on the lookout for and for her recommendations of the treatments and products that help provide some relief from its repercussions. With her advice in tow for tackling this tough life stage, you’ll hopefully be able to give your hormones the helping hand they need to get you back to feeling your best and back on track sooner than you think. 1. When does menopause start? The menopause is a time when a woman’s periods stop and her ovaries no longer release eggs. The average age that this happens is 52. 2. How long does menopause last? What most people don’t realise is that this is not something that happens overnight. There is a stage before the menopause called the perimenopause, which can start years before periods actually stop. The falling Oestrogen and Progesterone hormones (female sex hormones) in the body can make a woman feel different. The menopause is an inevitable event for every woman. The problem with the menopause is that it is different for every woman and there is often no way to predict its onset, duration or severity of menopausal symptoms. Every woman will find that their menopause will begin and end on its own schedule. Once the symptoms start, it is difficult to predict how long it will last. Every woman will have her own story about her journey through the menopause. There are so many factors influencing the timing and experience of menopause. These include things like one’s genetics, diet, lifestyle, stress levels and general health. The perimenopause or the 'transition' stage before the menopause usually begins several years before menopause. During this time the ovaries gradually begin to make less of the hormone Oestrogen. It usually starts in a woman's 40s, but can start in her 30s or even earlier. Perimenopause lasts up until menopause, the point when the ovaries stop releasing eggs. In the last 1 to 2 years of perimenopause, this drop in Oestrogen speeds up. At this stage, many women have menopause symptoms. The average length of perimenopause is 4 years, but for some women this stage may last only a few months or continue for 10 years. Perimenopause ends when a woman has gone 12 months without having her period. Some women may pass through it without noticing any change at all, other than the change and cessation of their periods. Some may get hot flushes and feel out of sorts for 6-12 months and some feel that their menopausal symptoms are lasting for years. 3. What are the signs of menopause? - Hot flushes - Night sweats - Mood changes - Poor concentration - Vaginal dryness - Insomnia The declining Oestrogen can also lead to thinning of the bones, hair thinning, incontinence, memory loss and much more. 4. Will menopause make me moody? Many women find that their mood changes and a recent report suggested that concentration levels and memory can drop up to 40% when they go through the menopause. MORE GLOSS: 5 ways to lead a happier life 5. What can help relieve hot flushes? Hot flushes are one of the most common symptoms a woman experiences during the menopause. It is a sudden feeling of heat in the upper body, which may spread between the face, neck, and/or chest. A woman may perspire to cool down her body, in some cases excessively. Some women also experience a rapid heart rate or chills. Hot flushes accompanied with sweating can also occur at night. As well as following the above guidelines, women should ensure that they sleep in a cool room, as well as reduce consumption of spicy foods and refraining from smoking. Women are best doing regular aerobic or low intensity workouts, as high intensity can make flushes worse. They can also use a number of cooling products: Chillow (cooling pillow), £27.50. PCM pillow cover (cooling pillow cover). Climsom cooling mattress topper (circulates cold water). Diet: I cannot stress the benefits of soya enough! Soya has an effect in the body similar to Oestrogen so can help with all symptoms but mainly hot flushes. Examples include soya milk, edamame beans and tofu. A study showed that 90mg of isoflavones a day, found in soy, reduced hot flushes. 6. What is hormone replacement therapy? Some women go through the menopause with barely any symptoms. Some get it severely and need treatment to help them. To combat severe symptoms, doctors may prescribe HRT, which replaces the Oestrogen and hormones that we are lacking in the menopause. This comes in the form of tablets, patches, creams and implants. It is not suitable for everyone. For example, a history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, heart disease, strokes and liver disease are reasons we wouldn’t use it. Many women are scared of HRT after stories in the press about HRT being linked to health problems like breast cancer. The good news is that more recent evidence suggests that in most cases the benefits outweigh the risks and even if you aren’t suitable, there are other medications that may be helpful. 7. What are the alternatives to HRT treatment? Non-HRT alternatives can include antidepressants, tibolone (a man-made hormone), clonidine (tablets used to prevent migraines and to treat menopausal flushing), and gabapentin. 8. What other menopause treatments work? Complementary therapies include the ladycare magnet (it is not known exactly how this works but medical studies show women feel relief of symptoms), black cohosh, ginseng, red clover, evening primrose oil and kava which can all ease menopausal symptoms. Furthermore, regular exercise and avoiding caffeine, smoking and alcohol can all help. For any woman who cannot or does not choose to take HRT, I recommend that women could try acupuncture and some holistic therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy. There is also new research looking into testosterone patches which can help with concentration and low moods. To combat lack of bone density, women can do weight bearing exercises and take calcium and vitamin D. 9. Can modifying my diet help with menopause relief? During the menopause, our metabolic rate drops, as does our cardiovascular rate, so women must be careful to watch their blood pressure. Increasing levels of magnesium and potassium is important, as is reducing sodium, (potassium lowers blood pressure whilst sodium heightens blood pressure). Foods such as oranges, bananas, new potatoes, sweet potatoes, white beans, dates, tomatoes and raisins all help here. Studies have found that the DASH low salt diet improved women’s moods in the menopause, whilst oily fish has been shown to reduce depressive symptoms in some. Generally healthy diets are linked to better cognition and concentration. It is also important to eat lots of B vitamins to keep energy up and stay positive mentality. Wholegrains, marmite and fortified cereals all contain vitamin B. We also loose bone density as we age and especially in the menopause, so we should up our levels of calcium. Cheese, yoghurts, milk, pak choi and dark leafy greens all contain a lot of calcium. The Mediterranean diet is recommended by dieticians as a healthy diet and it is thought that this can improve women’s moods.

Most women, including myself, are good at talking about most things but the menopause seems to be one thing that women aren’t so good at talking about! Women often feel out of sorts for months or even years before seeking help. The message today is talk to your partner and friends about the menopause and if you are worried about your symptoms, see your doctor.	https://www.getthegloss.com/health/nutrition/managing-the-signs-of-menopause-10-things-you-need-to-know	2022-07-05T02:45:54	en	0.947779
So I’ve got this thing I’ve started doing lately in effort to avoid the overly biased news outlets and their clearly slanted perspectives on current issues; I look to news stories about current events in the United States as reported on from other countries. It’s rather interesting to see how others view and interpret the goings on here, from the outside looking in, so to speak. I highly recommend it for those brave enough to break away from the one-sidedness of their usual news source channel for a moment, to consider a foreigner’s take on our domestic issues. Think of it like asking a friend’s opinion on your chosen outfit for an occasion. Sure, you can look in a mirror and see for yourself, but we all know others see us differently than we see ourselves. In fact, according to Portuguese author Fernando Pessoa in his autobiographic work, “The Book of Disquiet,” published 47 years after his death, “Man shouldn’t be able to see his own face — there’s nothing more sinister. Nature gave him the gift of not being able to see it, and of not being able to stare into his own eyes. Only in the water of rivers and ponds could he look at his face. And the very posture he had to assume was symbolic. He had to bend over, stoop down, to commit the ignominy of beholding himself. The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart.” People are also reading… In other words, our own perceptions about ourselves can sometimes prove toxic to our own humanity. And maybe our humility, as well. This, I think, we are able to recognize more clearly when we pay attention to how others see us. These days, there’s a great deal of energy and attention given to the promotion of not caring what others think. It’s not any one individual’s business what someone else might think of them. And I understand the value in such a position — living as authentically as one can without regard for, or inhibited by, what others might think. But it’s such a thin line, really, for such indifference smacks of disregard, dismissal and invalidation of others’ thoughts and feelings. Somewhere along the way, as empowered as we may seemingly have become, we’ve lost our sense of good manners, and moreover, our ability to disagree graciously. I’m left to wonder: Is the current political landscape, with all its divisive language and polarizing accusatory positioning an accurate reflection of the current American collective? Or are we becoming a reflection of the machinations of our body politic as represented to us by the media? (Remember the 1997 Barry Levinson movie, Wag the Dog?) In the wake of our celebration of the signing of our nation’s Declaration of Independence a mere 246 years ago—what it meant to us then, and what it means to us now — and as I consider the broken reflection we’re presently casting upon the watchful eyes of other nations, I’m wondering if we’re really all that and a bag of chips, like we’ve been brought up believing. So assured in our positions of privilege, purpose and power. Other nations see our government perhaps more clearly than we are able to while sitting under its enormous shadow. If more of us realized just this much, it would provide that first thread of commonality it takes to begin the process of stitching us back together again as one nation, indivisible.

Mount Pleasant actress Nicola 'Milly' Millbank is making a name for herself off-screen with her blog, Milly Cookbook , where she's bucking the trend of elimination diets and free-from foods, and instead creating fresh, healthy recipes that are full of flavour. Earlier this summer Nicola revealed her week in food for Get The Gloss ahead of the pre-order release for her new cookbook for a refreshing dose of foodie inspiration, and here she shares one of her delicious recipes for a tasty take on baked cod... Serves 2 Ingredients 2 skinless and boneless Cod fillets A bunch of fresh asparagus, roughly 6 tips per person 1 tin of cherry tomatoes 1 garlic glove, thinly sliced 2 anchovy fillets ½ a red onion, thinly sliced into half moons ¼ of a cup of pitted black olives 1 tbsp of capers 1 tsp of dried oregano 1 lemon A handful of rocket leaves A small handful of fresh basil 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil to dress 1 tsp of honey Salt and pepper Method Preheat the oven to 180'C. Place the cod fillets on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper and pop in the oven for 15-20 minutes whilst you prep the sauce. In a small frying pan, fry the red onion in a little olive oil on a medium heat until soft. Add the garlic, anchovy fillets and oregano and then turn up the heat. As the garlic starts to brown pour in the tinned cherry tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and add the honey. Give it a good stir and allow it to reduce and bubble away. Meanwhile, heat a griddle pan to a high heat. Brush the asparagus with a little olive oil and cut the lemon in half. Place the lemon halves flesh side down on the griddle and add the asparagus to the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Whilst that's cooking go back to the sauce and once it's thickened add in the olives and capers. Give it a good stir and tear in some fresh basil. Remove from the heat. Remove the lemons from the griddle pan and then carefully add a splash of water to the pan. This will help steam the asparagus in the final stages of cooking. Turn off the heat and leave the asparagus to continue cooking in the residual heat. Once the cod is done, remove from the oven. To serve, spoon your sauce onto a plate and lay the charred asparagus on top of it. Top with the cod, some rocket leaves, the griddled lemon to one side and some extra basil leaves.

In the 1950s Sandro Petti was the owner of a popular restaurant on Ischia called Rancho Fellone. This restaurant-come-nightclub quickly became frequented by the dolce vita who would enjoy summers on the island. One night, Sandro had some hungry customers arrive late begging him to rustle something up from the kitchen. Although he had run out of food he didn’t want to disappoint his guests so he pulled together what he could from his bare cupboards – olives, anchovies, olive oil, garlic and a few tomatoes. These ingredients were thrown together and served with spaghetti. The guests were blown away by this delicious meal, but Sandro shrugged it off as nothing special. Those guests went on to spread the word and came back to eat it every night. Later, this throw-together dish evolved to become known as spaghetti alla puttanesca, which many translate as ‘whore’s pasta’. Davide Conte, who lives on the island and knows Sandro well, told me this wonderful story. Sadly, on this trip, I missed the opportunity to meet Sandro but Davide tells me that Sandro is still surprised when he thinks back to that night when he was in a rush in his kitchen. He could never have imagined that what he was about to create would be a dish to go down in Italian history. Serves 2 INGREDIENTS 7 anchovy fillets in extra virgin olive oil, chopped, plus 4 tablespoons of the anchovy oil 4 garlic cloves, diced 1/2 red chilli, deseeded and chopped 8 cherry tomatoes, halved 80g black olives, half chopped 80g green olives, half chopped 2 tbsp capers 1/2 glass of dry white wine 400g tinned plum tomatoes Bunch of basil, roughly chopped Finely grated zest and juice of 1 unwaxed lemon 1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar 160g dried wholegrain spelt spaghetti Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper METHOD Heat the oil from the anchovies in a large pan over a medium heat. When hot, add the garlic and chilli and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the anchovies, cherry tomatoes, olives, capers and white wine, and cook for 5–6 minutes. Add the tinned tomatoes, bring to the boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes. Taste to check the seasoning, adding in more chilli, the balsamic vinegar and some salt and pepper, if needed. Cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions. When the pasta is cooked, scoop out a ladleful of the cooking water, then drain the pasta. Add the reserved pasta water to the sauce to loosen it a little, stir in the basil, lemon zest and juice. Combine with the pasta and sauce and divide everything between 2 plates or one platter and serve immediately.

This cake looks and tastes like a mocha coffee: a frothy cappuccino top with the added bonus of a gentle meringue crunch around the edges. Don’t panic if the edges start to crumble a little, that’s normal! Serves 10 INGREDIENTS For the base 350g pecans 390g unrefined caster sugar 8 free-range medium eggs, 6 separated 2 tbsp brown or white rice flour For the icing 2 free-range egg yolks 3 tbsp unrefined caster sugar 2-3 tbsp instant coffee granules, sieved 500g mascarpone 20g grated dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids) For the pecan topping 10g unsalted butter 50g pecans, toasted 2 tbsp honey METHOD Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F/Gas mark 3. Grease and line two 27cm cake tins with baking parchment. To make the base, blitz the pecans in a blender or food processor until you have very fine crumbs. Remove and set aside. In a bowl add the egg yolks, two whole eggs and mix in the ground pecans. Use a stand mixer or electric handheld mixer to whisk the whites until they form stiff peaks. With the mixer set at a fast speed, add the sugar a little at a time until incorporated. Fold in the pecan mixture along with a third of the whites – the mixture will seem a little dry, but keep folding until everything is combined. Fold in the remaining whites, a third at a time, taking care not to overmix the mixture. Carefully divide the batter between the prepared tins and bake on separate shelves for about 30 minutes until golden and a skewer inserted into the cake comes out fairly clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature on a cooling rack. Turn out of the tins only when cooled. Meanwhile, make the icing. In a stand mixer or using an electric handheld mixer, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until very pale and creamy, this should take about ten minutes. Add the coffee granules and mascarpone and whisk until just combined. Divide the icing between the two halves, spreading it with the back of a spoon to smooth and sprinkle with grated chocolate. Carefully sit one half over the other. For the finishing touch, melt the butter in a small frying pan over a medium heat. Once melted, add the pecans and honey. Stir well, then remove from the heat and leave to cool for 5 minutes. Drip the pecan and honey mixture over the cake to decorate it. It keeps well for two days in the fridge.

Here at GTG we've all got that back to school feeling, with fresh starts in the air - and that includes getting back on track with heathy eating, leaving the baguette habit in Provence where we found it and the margaritas in Ibiza. But we're not getting all puritanical about it - that way disaster (not to mention grumpiness, unhealthiness and general lack of fun) lies. We've talked about taking a transition period to ease us back in , but what next? For most of us, we just need to be reminded of what's important. We enlisted nutritional therapist Eve Kalinik to take healthy eating back to basics with these ten utterly doable, stick-on-the fridge rules. (Did she say wine?) Eve says: "There is so much confusion around nutrition and often I hear my clients say that they are totally overwhelmed with advice on what is and is not 'good for you'. So rather than over-complicating things, sometimes it is best go back to basics, sitting down and eating food from a plate with no phone in eye shot for a start so you can start to resonate with the food in front of you is very simple but has more of a profound positive effect than you realise… that's before you even get into the foods themselves. "Simply eating an abundance of fresh and nourishing foods across the board (with the odd treat here and there) is really where I consider us to have a healthy approach to food. It’s easy to get caught up in the latest fads or expensive powders and potions, but the simple act of chewing your food properly, for example, can instantly improve the way your digestion works. Plus as my dear nan always said “a little bit of what you fancy does you good”. Striving for some kind of eating nirvana is never going to make you happy. She was living proof of that entirely. So with that in mind, you might find that some of these 10 tips can help you to kick start a more balanced and altogether healthier approach to eating that will serve you for the long term too.” Read on below for Eve's top 10 commandments for a better, healthier approach to nutrition. 1. CHEW, CHEW, CHEW Digestion starts in the mouth where enzymes in saliva begin the process of breaking down food. If you experience bloating then insufficient chewing may be why - you want food to be liquid before swallowing. Aim for 20 to 30 chews per bite (bite - not heaped fork full). Chewing encourages mindful eating - taking time over meals as opposed ‘inhaling’ food. Eating in a ‘rest and digest’ (rather than fight or flight) state will benefit your gut and your mind immeasurably. 2. THERE IS NO ‘BAD’ FOOD We really need to be more discerning where ‘vilified’ food groups are concerned and that's true for ALL foods, even the one that has been hailed as the ultimate ‘baddie' - sugar. Understanding the difference between foods in these groups will give you more knowledge but try not to overly fixate, stress or indeed label a food as categorically “good” or “bad” as you might miss out on a whole heap of nutrients and flavoursome dishes for no apparent reason. With dairy for example, there is a marked difference between processed cheese and traditionally made (ideally unpasteurised) full fat cheese for example - the latter bursting with probiotics and fat-soluble nutrients (plus most would agree it has a much better flavour). It’s the same with gluten - bacteria create the fermentation process in breads like sourdough and as such this produces a bread that is almost ‘pre-digested’ and generally more gut friendly even though it still contains some gluten. When you think bread requires very few ingredients and you see ‘free from’ gluten-less and often tasteless alternatives that contain a long list then you have to question if it is indeed better than your standard loaf. Carbs in some regards have also been demonised and for sure lots of the highly processed white refined carbs are not so great from a fibre point of view mostly, but high quality sources found in whole grains, pulses, legumes and vegetables should be part of a balanced diet. They provide primary fuel for the brain and crucially support the growth of certain beneficial gut bacteria, among many other things. So try to think more INCLUSIVELY with your food choices as much as possible. 3. UNDERSTAND YOUR SNACK ATTACK Everyone is different in terms of how ‘topped up’ they need to be throughout the day. But for most of us we do tend to over snack and really we shouldn’t need to snack if we have included some protein in each meal - a piece of organic grass fed meat/poultry, fish, organic eggs, a serving of quinoa/lentils/beans, or even a small handful of nuts. Snacking could be a sign that you are low on energy because you are not getting enough nutrition from main meals that alongside adequate protein intake includes plenty of B vitamins that you can find in wholegrain and green vegetables to name a few. Snacking can also happen when we mistake hunger for thirst - so drinking water and herbal teas throughout the day is essential. Aim for around two litres, however you may need more depending on your level of activity. But boredom is by far one of the most classic snack triggers, so if you find that you are constantly gravitating towards the fridge distract yourself with a cup of herbal tea or by going for a walk, even putting some music on and shaking it off (literally) can help. Of course, if you are training or have some other blood sugar issues then consult your healthcare practitioner. 4. DRINK WINE NOT WATER Thought this might get your attention! Staying hydrated is key (we are around 80 per cent water and almost all cellular processes are conducted in a watery environment - dehydration causes constipation and fatigue). Have water between meals rather than with food. Sipping water at mealtimes is OK, but chugging a huge glass can dilute gastric juices and impair the breakdown of food which can lead to bloating (a very common complaint). One small glass of red or white wine can act as a digestive - go for organic, natural and biodynamic varieties where you can. Check out Borough Wines or organicwineclub.co.uk . 5. BE FAT FRIENDLY It really isn’t the case that eating fat makes you fat (that’s normally due to excess sugar). We need to eat some fat (both saturated and unsaturated) in moderate amounts to support the absorption of fat soluble vitamins such as A, D and E as well as having a positive effect on metabolism, anti-inflammatory processes and even helping to support with hormone production. For anti-inflammatory benefits, ensure a good intake of Omega 3. Oily fish (wild where possible) provide the highest amount, but it is also found in grass-fed meats, organic free range eggs, spirulina as well as chia, flax and hemp seeds. Good sources of saturated fats are coconut oil, coconut milk, ghee and organic butter. Round this off with nuts and seeds, avocados and cold pressed oils - just don’t cook with those oils and instead drizzle over your food afterwards so that you can reap their nutritional benefits. Heat or roast with one of the saturated fats above as they generally have a higher smoke point. 6. NO RAW AFTER 4 Just like our minds, digestion can get weary towards the end of the day. While raw food is packed full of energy, it also needs a lot of energy to break it down and with a compromised digestive system it can be a bit more hard work. Eating raw earlier in the day can give time for the body to process it more efficiently. In the evenings, lightly steam veggies and have them cold if you prefer to eat them this way. Large meals in general late at night are not the best for our gut as digestion is less effective at night partly due to the fact you are lying down. If you eat a big meal and then jump into bed, you may experience unpleasant symptoms such as reflux or indigestion. If you know you will be eating late, aim to eat lighter. Soup or scrambled eggs with greens can be a quick, healthy and light evening meal. 7. TAKE TIME TO MAKE TIME This may sound counterintuitive, and probably a bit patronising, but bear with me! Spending a bit of time food prepping can return your investment tenfold. When cooking in the evening, make double portions to take to work the next day. Making food for yourself will likely produce something more nutritious and delicious and it's giving back some time to you too, even if it's just an hour on the weekend creating a bit of a domestic disco and enjoying the process. Boiling a half a dozen eggs for the week ahead or cooking a couple of fillets of salmon to have cold for lunch are really simple protein options. You also avoid waste - how many of us walk into a supermarket after a long day at work and buy a load of BOGOFs and ingredients that we end up throwing away? Planning means you spend less money too. 8. SPARK JOY INTO YOUR KITCHEN CUPBOARDS Get the spring clean feeling you have after a wardrobe clean out. Chuck out some of the out of date stuff and somewhat ‘saboteurs' that get us in moments of weakness - yes, that packet of biscuits, I’m talking to you! It sounds obvious but if they are not there you can’t eat them. Instead, pack your kitchen with nutritious and inspiring foods - dried herbs such as rosemary, thyme and sage are great added to a quick vegetable puree for a tasty soup. Spices including turmeric, cumin and chilli totally lift a meal ( Steenbergs have an amazing organic range) and just adding them to the most simple of dishes makes a good meal a GREAT one. I also have cold pressed oils such as olive, walnut, hazelnut and sesame to flavour vegetables and salads. Flours such as coconut, wholegrain, chestnut and buckwheat are fab for making easy pancakes - just add eggs or chia if you are vegan to bind plus some milk and voila! I have plenty of nuts and seeds that I turn into nut milks or add to salads and vegetables. Coconut oil and ghee are always in my cupboard. I’m also not short of some garlic and fresh lemons too as they are super versatile and again can transform a plate of food. 9. IGNORE THE HYPE Forget diets, detoxes and fads and instead concentrate on nourishing your body with fresh (ideally local & seasonal) great tasting food. Invest in good quality ingredients. Check out farmers’ markets where you can buy the freshest ingredients at a good price and spend time chatting to the producers. They can give you ideas of how to prep your purchases, which important as you become much more involved in the enjoyment and preparation of your food and gain a much deeper connection to your plate. I would also encourage you to do your own critical thinking in a world where we are inundated with so much information on nutrition. Think of how some of the ‘advice’ out there applies to YOU as it won’t be the case for everyone and its important to learn how to trust your own body and mind. You have to understand this yourself on many levels and go through your own personal journey. 10. DON’T BE A PERFECTIONIST A healthy approach to eating well involves giving ourselves permission to enjoy the things we love - in moderation. Being a nutrition perfectionist and striving for this eating nirvana I mentioned earlier is neither realistic nor fun and just makes us miserable. You can have your cake and eat it - just not every day. The most important thing about moderation is understanding your triggers. Could they be stress - or boredom? If so, try introducing relaxing activities into your day and using mealtimes as pockets of mindfulness and recovery rather than bolting your food down or checking your phone as you eat. If your triggers are specific cravings, seeing a practitioner such as a nutritional therapist to help you manage the physical side or someone like an acupuncturist for more energetic alignment can help. And if you think it is more of a deeper rooted issue then you should seek the advice of a registered psychotherapist. Find Eve at www.evekalinik.com and @evekalinik .

Declaring that you’re a veggie no longer conjures up ‘knit your own muesli’, Jesus sandal imagery; vegetarianism has moved on from nut roasts and bland, beige stodge to altogether cooler, more colourful associations. Whether you’re a full time vegetarian, a ‘flexitarian’ who has a ‘part-time’ attitude to eating meat or simply want to pack in more vibrant, health-giving vegetables, pulses and plant-based protein sources, passing on meat is no longer symbolic of deprivation or piousness. There’s even a day of the week dedicated to getting creative with greens, root vegetables, beans and more in favour of meat (#MeatFreeMonday, launched by Paul, Mary and Stella McCartney). The likes of Ottolenghi, Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall are advocates of cooking up a storm minus the meat on a regular basis, and even previously presumed meathead Arnold Schwarzenegger encouraged us to vary our diet and reduce our consumption of meat each week at the Paris UN Climate Conference in December, in order to tackle the environmental issues triggered by the meat industry. The message and appeal of ‘eating the rainbow’ plant wise certainly seems to be getting through; in 2014 Mintel reported that 12% of UK adults followed a vegetarian or vegan diet, and this stat shot up to 20% in the 16-24 age group. Given the popularity of veg-centric bloggers, chefs and nutritional experts of late, it’s likely that even more of us are thinking outside the traditional ‘meat and two veg’ box, making plants the main players, and ensuring that they taste as good, if not better, than the animal alternative in the process. Handy then, that we’ve just launched our flavour packed Modern Vegetarian Recipe Guide, created with nutritionist, healthy chef and yoga teacher Libby Limon . Taste, variety and creativity characterise Libby’s genius recipes, with insightful nutritional information and mouthwatering photography as standard throughout the guide. With dishes inspired by Asian, Caribbean, Italian, French, Mexican and American cuisine, to name just a few of Libby’s influences, each recipe is energising, satisfying and designed to offer you maximum health benefits. If you need reeling in a little more, there’s chocolate for breakfast, a very clever twist on nachos and filling pasta dishes that are big on protein but lighter on stodge than you might imagine. Personal preferences and an array of protein options are catered for (you don’t need to OD on eggs or lentils if you’re not a fan) and if you’ve never tried a pina kale-ada before, you’re in for a treat. With 34 recipes to choose from, from dinner party spreads to ‘throw it together’ suppers, you’ll be sure to be getting between 7-10 portions of fruit and veg in a day, and will rarely feel the need to resort to a vegetarian sausage out of desperation. Preheat the oven for one of the most gratifying meal manuals of the year (we know we’re only at the beginning of it, but oh what a good place to start). Nab it while it’s still at its special introductory price and veg out.	https://www.getthegloss.com/health/nutrition/pledged-to-eat-more-plants-presenting-our-modern-vegetarian-recipe-guide	2022-07-05T02:48:58	en	0.931317

When it comes to snacking, our choices can be very much driven by convenience, cravings and the extent of our hunger pangs. Come 11am, many of us can be found reaching for our trusty drawer of treats however, the demand for healthier alternatives to our bars of Kit Kat (anyone else getting hungry?) is on the rise with a bevy of protein balls springing up on our supermarket and health shop shelves to meet it. Protein snacks have proven to be a popular recommendation by the nutrition experts we’ve featured in the past due to the fact that they keep us fuller for longer and prevent blood sugar level spikes occurring in between meals. However, a handful of nuts or a boiled egg does little to excite the taste buds, so it’s no surprise that the cake-like deliciousness of a protein or energy ball has piqued the interest of our appetites. Bounce’s and Deliciously Ella’s ranges are among the most well known and are often seen as a quick and easy way to tide us over until dinner. “Both are high in protein snacks, so they can help keep energy dips away when eating them,” says nutritional therapist and Director of Nutrition at Bodhimaya , Daniel O'Shaughnessy, (Dip ION FdSc mBANT CNHC). “They contain quite honest ingredients - no hidden nasties such as processed oils, preservatives or binders and the Deliciously Ella ones actually show you how to make them if you want to do so at home.” However sugar-wise, the truth isn’t as sweet. “Both have quite high levels - averaging around 40g of sugar per 100g (8 teaspoons) or about about 2-3 tsps per ball,” he notes. “Even if they state that they contain no refined sugar, sugar is sugar no matter what form it's in.” If you do have a sweet tooth though, protein balls could provide a slightly less sugar-laden option than say, a Twix. ”Saying this, if you are coming from a very high sugar diet and often reach out for cookies and chocolate, then one of these energy balls is a better option,” says Daniel. Additional words of wisdom? “Be mindful of these bars promising miracles,” he says. “Often the special ingredients like maca and spirulina in them are in very low amounts.” Which ones are the healthiest of the bunch? We asked Daniel to share his thoughts. Daniel’s top shop-bought picks Deliciously Ella Cacao & Almond Energy Ball, £1.79 12.5g of protein per 100g, 5g per 40g 31.8g of sugar per 100g, 12.7g per 40g “These are probably the healthiest of Ella’s energy balls,” says Daniel. “They come with the recipe too so that you can make them at home. Plus, they’re dairy, gluten and refined sugar free,” in case you have any intolerances or specific food allergies. Buy online . Raw Health Organic Spirulina Orange Energy Balls, £2.55 for a 3 pack (60g) 8g of protein per 100g 38g of sugar per 100g In terms of the natural, organic and raw ingredients used, this scores highly from Daniel. Containing orange, cacao, dates, walnuts, almonds and spirulina powder, it makes for an especially appealing and crunchy choice. Buy online . Bounce V Life Cashew Peanut Vegan Protein Energy Ball, £2 23g of protein per 100g, 9g per 40g ball 17g of sugar per 100g, 6.8g per 40g ball For a high vegan protein option, this makes for a suitably moreish pick. New from Bounce, we can vouch for how tasty this particular flavour is (it’s like a pint-sized piece of cake). Buy online . Crussh Cacao & Hazelnut Energy Balls, £1.95 for a 3 pack 11.5g of protein per 100g, 6.4g per serving 22.3g of sugar per 100g, 12.4g per serving “These are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and also quite low in sugar compared to others,” says Daniel. “The cacao can naturally give you a lift and it’s magnesium rich too.” MORE GLOSS: Are you getting enough magnesium? Bounce Coconut & Macadamia Protein Bliss Ball, £2 22g of protein per 100g, 9g per 40g ball 25g of sugar per 100g, 10g per 40g ball “This is probably one of the lowest sugar ones (even though they are all so high!)” says Daniel. Taste-wise, it’s one of our favourites in the office. Buy online . And if you’re going to make them at home… Be sugar-aware. “Keep the sugar low, you obviously want it to taste good so a little sweetener is okay, but use dates or dried fruit sparingly,” advises Daniel. “A rule of thumb is not to add more than one ‘sweet’ item to the recipe.” The ideal snack for making from scratch to better control what goes in them, here’s Daniel's go-to protein balls recipe to provide some ample food for thought. Raw Brazil Nut, Coconut & Apricot Energy Balls recipe Prep time: 10 minutes Chill time: 30 minutes Ingredients (makes about 9 balls) 1½ cups raw, unsalted brazil nuts (“Brazil nuts are rich in nutrients, particularly selenium which is essential for healthy-looking skin. It promotes skin health by improving the elasticity of the skin. This is because it facilitates glutathione [an antioxidant] which combats free radicals that deteriorate the skin’s collagen”). 1 cup dried apricots (choose organic) 2 tbsp flaxseed (“Contains omega 3 fatty acids, but also helps with hormone balance in the body. Therefore it's great for female health related skin issues"). 1 tbsp coconut oil ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut and more for dusting Zest of 1 large lemon ½ tsp ground cinnamon (“Not only is it anti-inflammatory, but it also helps promote blood sugar balance in the body - key for naturally great skin”). Method 1. Place the flaxseed in the mill attachment of the food processor and grind. Set aside. 2. Place the brazil nuts in the main container with the S blade and pulse until they are finely chopped. 3. Add the apricots, coconut, lemon zest, ground flaxseed, coconut oil and cinnamon and pulse until the mixture forms a ball and sticks to itself. 3. Remove the mixture from the food processor and roll into golf ball sized balls. 4. Place some shredded coconut in a bowl and dust each ball making sure it's fully covered. 5. Place on parchment paper and on a plate and put into a fridge for 30 minutes.

The company has not revealed anything yet, but it is expected to do so during this month of July. After adding the current delivery to subscription services and carrying out big sales due to the end of the season and the Playoffs, it seems that 2K Sports are already focused on the NBA 2K23 adthe next numbered installment of the NBA 2K saga that has the official license of the basketball competition. Soon they will show gameplay and coversThe official account of Twitter of the franchise has left us a clue as to what to expect very shortly. “Get ready. NBA 2K23 is coming,” reads the message that invites us to be attentive soon when they reveal their cover stars (plural), show the first gameplay and tell us more, presumably this July The tweet is accompanied by a short six-second video in which we see the NBA 2K23 logo and what it could be one of the faded covers. Surely they opt for different players depending on the edition: they usually put a historical one in the most expensive, although from what little we see we could imagine that the current chosen one is Devin Booker, shooting guard for the Phoenix Suns. Even so, it is very difficult to find out who it is. The latest installment of the franchise that can be found in stores is NBA 2K22, published on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X\|S and Nintendo Switch. The game once again surprised us with its playability and its multiple options to simulate the best basketball competition in the world, but it suffers from well-known evils off the court.

the mexican pilot Sergio Czech Pérez once again demonstrated his skills behind the wheel of the single-seater Red Bull Racing: after falling to the last place of the British Grand Prix, managed to climb the positions until placing himself within the first places that fought for a place on the podium and finishing in second. Within the battle for second place he had to deal with the skills of Lewis Hamiltonfrom Mercedes, and Charles Leclerc, Ferrari driver, who tried to place themselves within the podium places and leave the Mexican out. The three riders experienced an intense start that he got the applause of the fans and that was captured by Formula 1. Recently the official f1 account published a video of how the contest of Czech Pérez, Hamilton and Leclerc for the second step of the podium from inside the drivers’ cars. The friction between the pilots began on lap 45; for this moment Carlos Sainz Jr.from Ferrari, was at the head of the competition with a considerable advantage, so the second place was the one that was vacant and it was the one they were fighting for CzechHamilton y Charles. Until that moment of the competition the second place was occupied by Leclerc, followed by Czech Pérez and then by Hamilton. The difference in seconds between the runners was minimal, so with each corner the distance was reduced; This scenario was taken advantage of by the man from Guadalajara to start the battle for the podium. In a series of curves, Pérez tried to overtake the Ferrari driver, but as soon as he noticed the Red Bull driver’s intentions, he made a series of maneuvers to reduce the space and prevent the Mexican from overtaking him. As they advanced, the car of the Monegasque and the man from Jalisco were on a par, only a few centimeters defined who was in second and third place. It was at that moment when Lewis Hamilton took advantage of a straight and he accelerated fully in order to overtake both cars. The fans chorused the correct action as they took advantage of the moment to momentarily place themselves in second place at the start of lap 46. Nevertheless, his position did not last long Sergio Pérez did not miss the step and approached him to pass him. Because the English driver was stalked by the Red Bull and Ferrari driver, he chose to block their way in the first corner of lap 46. But, despite their strategy to prevent them from passing, both pilots opened up at opposite poles to attack from both the left and the right. That act forced the Mercedes driver to open up to the left and block the path of Charles, who was ready to pass him. The consequence was that in the curve gave way to the driver from Guadalajara and thus managed to overtake both opponents. From that moment the Mexican took second place; Even though the 24-year-old runner was still stalking him, he used his defense skills to avoid it. The rest of the race was characterized by Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc overtaking each other, as they fought for third place in the British Grand Prix, as Czech He did not give in and the possibility of reaching Sainz was nil. Lewis saw the rear of the car Czech the rest of the race because from that moment he could not catch up and concentrated on maintaining his third position on the podium.

Simply fermented veggies, sauerkraut is a bit like a tart coleslaw and is such a great way to get raw vegetables into our diet. Not only is the fibre good for bowel health but the fermentation means that all those good bugs will help support the growth of more. All you need is one tablespoon a day as a topping or side dish. It adds a sharpness to salads and goes really well with a hot buttered potato – yum! 11 calories (per 25g) V, GF, DF Makes about ½ litre Prep: 20 minutes, plus fermenting time (3-16 days) Ingredients 1 white cabbage, or similar, about 650g, finely shredded 1 tbsp sea salt Equipment: a 1½-litre sterilised sealable jar Method Step 1 Put the cabbage in a large glass or ceramic bowl, add the salt and massage it all together with your hands. Step 2 Now pound the cabbage – a good thing to use for this is the pestle from a pestle and mortar or the round end of rolling pin. Squash and pound it for about 5 -10 minutes until plenty of water is released. Step 3 Spoon the cabbage, a little at a time, into the sterilised jar, squashing it down as you go, using the pestle or rolling pin and making sure it’s tightly packed. MORE GLOSS: Boost your gut health on a budget Step 4 Make sure the cabbage is fully immersed under the water – it needs this to ferment properly. Secure the lid and leave for 3 -16 days in the kitchen, or longer if you like a stronger flavour. The process will be slower if you prefer it to ferment in your fridge. To make Red Cabbage and Fennel Seed Sauerkraut (33 calories V, GF, DF) take 2kg red cabbage, finely shredded, 1 tbsp sea salt, 1 tsp fennel seeds or caraway seeds and make this the same as you would the white cabbage sauerkraut.

Laura and Alice are busy ladies, and as we all know, with a busy schedule comes the inevitable desire to snack. And what is their snack of choice? California Almonds . When we caught up with them recently Laura explained how she always has to carry a little bag of almonds in her handbag to keep her hunger at bay and to avoid the all too familiar 'hangry' feeling when the cravings kick in. Alice shared her snacking secret too, revealing that she likes to put a lime and chipotle mix onto her almonds for an on the go fix. Here they share their recipe for a nutty tray-bake which makes the perfect sweet treat, incorporating the natural goodness of almonds and a smooth dark chocolate topping. Creamy chocolate flakes and succulent dried cherries create a delightfully chewy texture too. CHERRY, ALMOND & COCONUT PARADISE CRUNCH Serves 8-10 INGREDIENTS 125g almonds (whole & chopped) 125g mixed seeds, such as linseed, poppy 100g dried cherries, chopped 60g coconut flakes 100g honey 50g coconut oil 50g dark chocolate Pinch of sea salt METHOD 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160ºC for fan). 2. Spread the almonds and seeds on a roasting tray, roast for 5-10 minutes until they turn slightly golden. 3. Remove from the oven and let them cool. 4. Line a 24 cm square tin with baking parchment (have some over-hang so you can easily remove the mixture later). 5. Pour the cooled almond and seed mix into a large bowl along with the coconut flakes and cherries – mix together. 6. Place the oil and honey in a pan, heat gently then bring up to the boil and allow the sweet liquid to bubble for a minute. 7. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, stir through the roasted almond mixture. 8. Transfer the mixture immediately to a square tin spreading in out into an even layer – pressing down as you go so the mixture is tightly compacted. 9. Place in the fridge until the mixture is cold. 10. Break the chocolate up into pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. Sit the bowl over simmering water and allow the chocolate to melt – stir occasionally. (Note – do not let the water touch the bottom of the bowl or it will burn the chocolate). 11. Once melted leave to cool slightly. 12. Remove the cooled almond mixture from the fridge, and drizzle the melted chocolate over the almond mixture. Add a sprinkle of sea salt to complement the sweetness of the chocolate and honey. 13. Once the chocolate is set, remove from the tin and break into snack size crunchy bites.

Melt-in-the-mouth chunks of delicately spiced salmon started off as an addition to any dish on the menu at my pop-up cafe. It was so popular that it soon made a weekly appearance. This recipe is a delicious way to show off the subtle flavours of turmeric without making a curry (or Golden Milk!). I always team black pepper and turmeric where I can, to improve the bioavailability of turmeric’s nutrients. Here, the sharp pungency of the pepper cuts through the rich fatty sweetness of the salmon. This dish is a great one for feeding a crowd — the salmon looks impressive, yet all you need to do is dust it with some spices, pop it in the oven and serve over some sautéed seasonal veg. Yum. LEMON, TURMERIC AND BLACK-PEPPER SALMON WITH SPRING GREENS Serves 6 INGREDIENTS 850g side of salmon or 6 salmon fillets zest of 3 lemons 1 tbsp coarsely ground black pepper 2 tbsp ground turmeric 1 tsp sea salt FOR THE VEGETABLES 1 & 1/2 tbsp ghee 3 garlic cloves chopped 200g (2 cups) spring greens chopped 1/2 Savoy cabbage, finely sliced 3 bay leaves 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar 250g asparagus sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste METHOD 1. The day before you wish to serve, line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Place the salmon on it, skin-side down. Mix together the lemon zest, black pepper and turmeric. Spread it all over the fish and leave to marinate overnight in the fridge. 2. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C/gas mark 6). Season the marinated salmon with sea salt and then bake for 22 minutes. If you’re using fillets, reduce the cooking time slightly. 3. About 7 minutes before the end of the cooking time, melt the ghee in a medium saucepan and sauté the garlic for a few minutes. Add the spring greens, Savoy cabbage, bay leaves, vinegar and asparagus, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and steam for 4—5 minutes. 4. Remove the salmon from the oven, then flake or cut it into chunks. Divide the veggies between your plates and serve with the baked salmon arranged over the top. TIP: You can easily adapt this dish for the different seasons. In winter, simply substitute the spring greens with 3 medium turnips, cut into cubes, and 500g (5 cups) kale leaves, chopped.	https://www.getthegloss.com/health/nutrition/recipe-jasmine-hemsley-s-lemon-turmeric-and-black-pepper-salmon	2022-07-05T02:52:02	en	0.884593

HAVANA (AP) — There were some cheers for “The Star-Spangled Banner” before USA Basketball’s game in Cuba on Independence Day. And then the Americans celebrated the holiday with a big win. Xavier Munford scored 24 points and the U.S. defeated Cuba 87-64 on Monday night to close the first round of qualifying for next year’s Basketball World Cup — improving to 31-1 all-time against the island nation. “It’s emotional to play on the Fourth of July," said Jim Boylen, who coached the U.S. in all three of the two-game windows in the opening qualifying round. “It’s emotional to be here with this group of guys, with USA across our chests. It’s a big day. Our country is 246 years old today and we’re just thankful for this moment together.” Munford was 10 for 12 from the floor for the Americans, who got 13 points from Justin Jackson, 12 from John Jenkins — all from 3-point range — and 10 apiece from Will Davis and Langston Galloway. “It’s July 4th. No better feeling than to get a win tonight,” Munford said. Jordan Bell finished with eight rebounds and six assists for the Americans, whose spot in the second round of qualifying was previously secured. They’ll take a 5-1 record into the second round, well on their way to clinching a spot in the World Cup and moving a big step closer toward getting USA Basketball qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Yoel Cubilla led Cuba (0-6) with 15 points. The Americans will start the second round of World Cup qualifying on Aug. 25, with the expectation that the first matchup will be against Uruguay in Las Vegas. The U.S. will also play on Aug. 29, probably on the road and likely against Colombia, though FIBA has yet to confirm that as the matchup. The two road wins on this trip — the Americans beat Puerto Rico on Friday — puts the U.S. in a prime position to qualify for the World Cup. The roster was primarily composed of G League players, as is always the case for the Americans in World Cup qualifying, and Boylen said this group came together quickly. “We came together 11 days ago and our team was focused, our guys were great, we worked on the basics, we got better every day and I thought we played the right way,” Boylen said. “The ball moved, we grew together, and we cared for each other.” The U.S. will be grouped with Brazil, Uruguay, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Colombia in the second round. Also grouped from the Americas region will be Venezuela, Argentina, Panama, Canada, the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas. Both of those groups will send three teams to the World Cup; the best fourth-place team from either of those groups will also go, with the Americas region sending seven teams to the tournament that will be played in the summer of 2023 in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia. Cuba led 16-14 after the first quarter Monday night. That is, until the Americans scored 14 points in the first 2:19 of the second quarter. “We lost the first quarter, but I thought the second quarter, we responded,” Boylen said. A 3-pointer by Jackson opened the second quarter, put the U.S. ahead for good, and the Americans were off and running. The lead was 49-32 early in the third — ending what was a 35-16 run by the U.S. — and the Americans remained ahead the rest of the way. “The Cuba team was great," Munford said. “They came out with a great effort. They made us work for it. They had strong guys. We played well tonight. We executed, took care of the ball, ran our offense and played USA style of basketball." ___ More AP sports: https://apnews.com/hub/apf-sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.theheraldreview.com/sports/article/A-win-on-the-4th-USA-Basketball-pulls-away-tops-17284143.php	2022-07-05T02:52:14	en	0.972345
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate PHOENIX (AP) — Madison Bumgarner posted a win against his former team and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat San Francisco 8-3 Monday, handing the Giants their fifth straight loss. “I was excited to pitch on the Fourth of July, it's a special day for me,” Bumgarner said. As for motivation against his old team, “There's not that many of them in the lineup.” Only Austin Slater and Evan Longoria were ex-teammates who started Monday. Buddy Kennedy drove in a pair of runs and Cooper Hummel scored twice for Arizona. The Giants have lost 11 of 14. Last season, the Giants went 17-2 against Arizona in winning the NL West title. But in the first of their 19 meetings this year, Bumgarner (4-8) and the D-backs prevailed. Bumgarner, now in his third season with Arizona after helping the Giants win three World Series championships, allowed three runs in five innings. The 32-year-old lefty struck out four and walked three. “He was making pitches, I thought he just got nicked up for a couple of well placed hits,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. Bumgarner gave up a two-run single to LaMonte Wade Jr. in the first, then settled in. He was pulled after 100 pitches, and is now 2-1 lifetime against the Giants. Carlos Rodón (7-5) gave up four runs in five innings, striking out seven. Kennedy hit a tying, two-run single in the first. A series of Giants misplays in the second helped Arizona score two more — Rodón was late covering first on an infield single, San Francisco then botched a bunt and catcher Curt Casali made a throwing error on a steal. “We have a lot of work to do,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. “This is one game, but we certainly have to recognize that we aren't playing our best baseball and we have to come back tomorrow and be ready to go.” Arizona led 4-3 when Kennedy greeted reliever Tyler Rogers in the sixth with an infield single. Josh Rojas hit an RBI double and scored on Daulton Varsho’s single. David Villar made his major league debut for the Giants, batting seventh and playing second base. On the first pitch he saw, he lined a double off the fence in right-center field. He later had an RBI single. Villar, the Giants’ 11th-round draft pick in 2018 from South Florida, was batting .284 with 21 homers and 62 RBIs in 66 games at Triple-A Sacramento. He led the Pacific Coast League in home runs. TRAINER’S ROOM Giants: SS Brandon Crawford (left knee inflammation) is eligible to come off the injured list on Tuesday. Kapler said “all systems are go” for Crawford's return. “I think he makes everybody around him better,” Kapler said. ... Casali left the game in the seventh with what Kapler said after the game appeared to be an oblique injury, and will be getting an MRI. Backup catcher Austin Wynns batted for Casali with a full count and singled. Diamondbacks: RHP Ian Kennedy (right calf) was placed on the 15-day injured list just before the game. Arizona recalled RHP Keynan Middleton from Triple-A Reno to replace him. Kennedy, 37, has a 3.58 ERA this season in a setup role. He left Sunday’s game at Colorado after retiring one batter in the eighth inning. UP NEXT LHP Alex Wood (5-7, 5.03) will start for the Giants on Tuesday. Lovullo said after the game that LHP Tyler Gilbert will be called up to start for Arizona. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.theheraldreview.com/sports/article/Bumgarner-Diamondbacks-send-Giants-to-5th-17284181.php	2022-07-05T02:52:20	en	0.971172

Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Alex Morgan scored a pair of first-half goals and the U.S. women's national team defeated Haiti 3-0 on Monday night in the opening match of the CONCACAF W Championship. The tournament determines the region's four direct berths in the 2023 Women's World Cup, co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand. Midge Purce also scored for the United States, which has won the past two World Cups. Morgan opened scoring for the U.S. in the 16th minute with a heel flick off a pass from Mallory Pugh that got past Haiti goalkeeper Lara Larco. Morgan's second goal came on a header in the 23rd minute. Haiti was awarded a penalty in the 42nd but Roselord Borgella's attempt hit the post and caromed away. Borgella was handed a red card in the 45th, but video review rescinded the call and she was given a yellow. The United States appeared to score on an own goal in the 78th, but Megan Rapinoe was ruled offside. Purce scored her fourth international goal in the 84th. U.S. coach Vlatko Andonovski praised Morgan and said he was pleased with the result, although there's things to work on before the Americans face Jamaica on Thursday. “On the other side, we gave up a lot of opportunities, gave up a penalty kick. That’s something we’re going to have to do better and tie up a few things for the next game,” Andonovski said. Eight teams are split into two groups for the W Championship. The top two finishers in each group earn World Cup berths. The third place finishers in each group advance to a 10-team intercontinental playoff, to be held in New Zealand in February. The winner of the W Championship also earns a spot in the 2024 Olympics. Haiti has never qualified for a World Cup or an Olympics. In addition to the United States and Haiti, the group includes Jamaica and Mexico. Canada, Costa Rica, Panama and Trinidad & Tobago are in the other group. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.theheraldreview.com/sports/article/Morgan-scores-twice-and-US-women-down-Haiti-3-0-17284140.php	2022-07-05T02:52:26	en	0.972651
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate CINCINNATI (AP) — Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor homered, helping the New York Mets beat the lowly Cincinnati Reds 7-4 on Monday night. Taijuan Walker (7-2) struck out nine in six innings as NL East-leading New York earned its second straight win after a stretch of four losses in five games. The Mets improved to 50-30, and ace right-hander Max Scherzer returns Tuesday night after being sidelined by a strained left oblique muscle. Nick Senzel and Brandon Drury homered for last-place Cincinnati, which lost for the fifth time in six games. The Mets got some good swings against hard-throwing rookie Hunter Greene. Nimmo hit a towering three-run drive in the second. The Mets are 39-9 this season when scoring first. In the third, Drury drove an 0-1 pitch from Walker deep to right for a tying three-run shot. The opposite-field homer was Drury's career-best 17th. He was with the Mets last season, but only had 84 at-bats. Lindor put the Mets ahead with his 14th homer, a solo drive on a 99-mph pitch from Greene in the fifth. It was the major league-leading 22nd homer allowed by Greene (3-10) this season. Dominic Smith's two-run double off Reiver Sanmartin in the sixth handed the Mets a three-run cushion. Walker was charged with three runs and four hits. Seth Lugo pitched the ninth for his third save. It was win No. 1,601 for Mets manager Buck Showalter. He is one victory shy of Fred Clarke for 21st on the career list. TRAINERS ROOM Mets: RHP Jacob deGrom (stress reaction in right scapula) is slated to make his second minor league rehab start on Friday. He is not expected to return to the Mets' rotation until after the All-Star break. ... LHP David Peterson is expected to come off the paternity list to start Wednesday's series finale in Cincinnati. Reds: RHP Art Warren was placed on the IL with a right flexor pronator strain. C Mark Kolozsvary was recalled. ... C Tyler Stephenson began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville and caught five innings while going 1 for 2 at the plate. Stephenson broke his right thumb June 9 on a foul tip. UP NEXT Scherzer (5-1, 2.54 ERA) makes his first start for the Mets since leaving his outing on May 18 against St. Louis with a right oblique strain. Scherzer's 1.84 ERA against the Reds is tied for the ninth-lowest mark among all pitchers with at least 50 innings pitched against an opponent. Reds rookie LHP Nick Lodolo (1-2, 5.52 ERA) starts for the first time since suffering a lower back strain in April.	https://www.theheraldreview.com/sports/article/Nimmo-Lindor-homer-as-first-place-Mets-beat-Reds-17284201.php	2022-07-05T02:52:32	en	0.964556

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate SAN DIEGO (AP) — Prized rookie Julio Rodriguez hit a monster two-run homer, Cal Raleigh drove in four runs and Chris Flexen pitched the Seattle Mariners past the San Diego Padres 8-2 on Monday. The Mariners won their third straight and for the sixth time in seven games. The Padres gave their home fans little to cheer about on the holiday afternoon as they lost for the eighth time in 11 games. Flexen (5-8) and three relievers combined to shut down the Padres, who have scored only 10 runs in their last five games. They needed a ninth-inning rally to beat the NL West rival Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 Sunday and avoid a four-game sweep. San Diego didn't score Monday until Trent Grisham hit a two-run homer with one out in the ninth. The Mariners and Padres share a spring training complex in Peoria, Arizona, and have been deemed natural rivals by MLB for scheduling purposes. Rodriguez drove a 2-0 pitch from left-hander Sean Manaea (3-4) onto the balcony of the fourth floor of the Western Metal Supply Co. brick warehouse in the left-field corner at Petco Park with one out in the fourth to give the Mariners a 4-0 lead. It was his 15th homer this season and 12th in his last 40 games. Dylan Moore was aboard on a leadoff single. Rodriguez became the first player in big league history with 15-plus home runs and 20-plus stolen bases in his first 81 games. Manaea followed Rodriguez's homer by loading the bases and was replaced by Tayler Scott, who proceeded to retire five straight Mariners batters, including striking out the side in the fifth, before running into trouble in the sixth. Rodriguez opened the sixth by reaching on third baseman Manny Machado's throwing error. J.P. Crawford singled and Carlos Santana walked for the third time to load the bases. Raleigh then doubled to the gap in right-center to clear the bases and make it 7-0. Flexen didn't allow a baserunner until he walked Machado with one out in the fourth. He was pulled after walking Kim Ha-seong with two outs in the seventh to put runners on first and third. Erik Swanson came on and walked Trent Grisham to load the bases before getting Jurickson Profar to fly out. Flexen held San Diego to four hits in 6 2/3 innings, struck out eight and walked three. The Mariners jumped on Manaea for two runs on three hits and a walk in the first. Raleigh drove in the first run with a grounder and Abraham Toro hit an RBI double. Manaea allowed four runs and eight hits in 3 1/3 innings. He walked four and struck out three.

"A delicious, light fresh salad that doubles up as a cracking dinner with some grilled fish," says Stacie Stewart of this dish taken from her recent book release, How to Lose Weight Well: The Complete Diet Plans. "Leafy greens are a great super-low-calorie, high-volume addition to your diet and offer countless health benefits. They are full of vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting phytochemicals. Marinating the kale takes just minutes but it is essential for breaking down the tough leaves, so don’t be tempted to skip this step. You can marinate the kale in advance; I do it in bulk, marinating whole bags at a time in the same dressing for different salads. It keeps for a few days in the fridge, no problem. If you have the fat macros, some goat’s cheese crumbled over this is heaven." Serves 2 Per serving: Fat: 24.7g \| Protein: 8.1g \| Carbs: 10.7g \| Fibre: 7.8g \| Calories: 313kcal Ingredients 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 orange, zest finely grated and then segmented salt and pepper 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 2 handfuls of kale, stalks removed and leaves chopped 100g green beans, trimmed 4 handfuls of rocket or leaves of choice ½ fennel bulb, thinly sliced (mandolin or attachment on a food processor is ideal) 40g hazelnuts, lightly toasted then roughly chopped Method 1. First, marinate the kale – then this is a throw-together spectacular! Combine the olive oil, orange zest, some salt and pepper, and the vinegar in a large bowl, throw in the kale and scrunch with your hands as if you are massaging it. Do this for a couple of minutes. Set aside. 2. Steam the beans for 3 minutes, or to your liking, then drain and plunge into a bowl of cold water to retain the green colour. 3. Throw the rocket in with the kale, followed by the drained green beans, the orange (and any juice that’s escaped), and the fennel. 4. Lightly toss together with your hands and if the salad needs a little more salt and pepper, go ahead. 5. Finish with the hazelnuts.	https://www.getthegloss.com/health/nutrition/recipe-stacie-stewart-s-fennel-bean-kale-orange-salad-with-hazelnuts	2022-07-05T02:53:04	en	0.90753

Families went bananas for Minions this weekend at the movie theater. “ Minions: The Rise of Gru ” brought in an estimated $108.5 million in ticket sales from 4,391 screens in North America, Universal Pictures said Sunday. By the end of the Monday’s July Fourth holiday, it will likely have earned over $127.9 million. The film is on track to become one of the biggest openings ever for a July Fourth holiday weekend, a record previously held by “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” which made $115.9 million in its first four days in 2011. Including international showings, where “Minions: The Rise of Gru” is playing in 61 markets, its worldwide gross is sitting at $202.2 million through Sunday. “It’s a tremendous debut,” said Jim Orr, Universal’s president of domestic distribution. “It’s playing very broadly across North America. Every single market doing extraordinarily well.” This is just the latest in a string of successes for Universal’s family releases, including “Sing 2,” which has grossed over $406 million since opening in December, and “The Bad Guys,” which has made over $243 million. “Minions: The Rise of Gru” serves as further proof that family audiences are willing to go back to the movie theater. “Families feel very comfortable bringing all their kids to the theatre,” Orr said. “These results speak for themselves.” “Minions 2” attracted all ages to the theater, even the very young. According to PostTrak surveys, 12% were under the age of 10. “For many months there was this idea that family audiences were not going to come back to the theater. We can put that to rest,” said Paul Dergarabedian, the senior media analyst for Comscore. The spinoff of the popular “Despicable Me” series was delayed two years because of the pandemic. The sequel to the 2015 film “Minions” was originally slated for a July 2020 release. While many other animated family films opted for streaming or hybrid releases, “Minions,” much like “Top Gun: Maverick,” stayed the course and waited for an ideal time to launch in theaters only. And as with “Top Gun” the wait, it seems, was worth it. “This became an event. It was a holiday weekend, the release date was perfect, the marketing was spot on,” Dergarabedian said. “And everyone knew this was going to be in theaters only.” The voice cast features Steve Carell, reprising his role as Gru, Alan Arkin, Michelle Yeoh and Julie Andrews as Gru’s mother. Critics were mixed to positive (it currently has a 72% on Rotten Tomatoes) but audiences were more enthusiastic, giving the Gru origin story an A CinemaScore. READ MORE: Review: In ‘Rise of Gru,’ Minion mayhem reigns and will make fans happy Universal and Illumination have had enormous success with the five “Despicable Me” movies and spinoffs, which date back to 2010 and have earned over $3.7 billion at the global box office. In second place was “Top Gun: Maverick,” which continues to deliver six weeks in, adding another $25.5 million to its total, which has already surpassed $1 billion. The Paramount Pictures film is still playing in 3,843 locations. Warner Bros.’ “Elvis” took third place, down only 39% in its second weekend in theaters. The Baz Luhrmann film grossed an estimated $19 million through Sunday, bringing its domestic total to $67.3 million. Fourth and fifth place went to Universal titles as well with “Jurassic World: Dominion” picking up another $15.7 million and the horror movie “The Black Phone” adding $12.3 million through Sunday. Disney’s “Lightyear,” meanwhile, tumbled further in its third weekend with an estimated $6.5 million. By Monday, that total should raise to $8.1 million bringing its cumulative earnings to $106.9 million. Bleecker Street released “ Mr. Malcolm’s List ” this weekend on 1,384 screens in the U.S. and Canada. The Regency-era comedy of manners stars Freida Pinto and Zawe Ashton as friends looking to get back at a picky bachelor. The studio estimates that the film will have $851,853 by end of Sunday and over $1 million by end of Monday. Audiences are also still catching up with A24’s “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” which added an estimated $552,000 from 607 screens, in spite of the fact that it’s also available to rent on demand. The studio’s newer title, “Marcel the Shell With Shoes On,” expanded to 22 screens this weekend and is expected to earn about $308,000 by the end of Monday. According to Comscore, the weekend as a whole will go down as one of the biggest of the pandemic era. And the momentum is expected to continue with the release of Marvel’s “Thor: Love and Thunder” next week. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Tuesday. 1. “Minions: The Rise of Gru,” $108.5 million. 2. “Top Gun: Maverick,” $25.5 million. 3. “Elvis,” $19 million. 4. “Jurassic World: Dominion,” $15.7 million. 5. “The Black Phone,” $12.3 million. 6. “Lightyear,” $6.6 million. 7. “Mr. Malcolm’s List, $851,853. 8. “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” $551,974. 9. “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” $390,000. 10. “JugJugg Jeeyo,” $318,000.

Frankfurter-munching phenom Joey “Jaws” Chestnut put a protester in a chokehold while gobbling his way to a 15th win Monday at the Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July hot dog eating contest, powering down 63 hot dogs and buns at the annual exhibition of excess. In a decisive chowdown comeback, women’s record-holder Miki Sudo downed 40 wieners and buns to win the women’s title after skipping last year’s frank fest because she was pregnant. A spectator wearing a Darth Vader mask rushed the stage, momentarily disrupting the competition. Chestnut put the protester in a brief chokehold before contest officials hurried over and escorted the intruder away. Another protester in a white stormtrooper mask had also snuck behind the competitors and hoisted a sign saying, “Expose Smithfield’s Deathstar.” Smithfield manufactures Nathan’s famous hotdogs. After the altercation, Chestnut went back to the task at hand: Devouring more hot dogs. Monday marked the contest’s return to its traditional location outside Nathan’s flagship shop in Brooklyn’s Coney Island neighborhood. The event was relocated in 2020 and last year because of the coronavirus pandemic. “It’s beautiful to be back here” in front of a throng of spectators, Chestnut told ESPN after his feat, which the 38-year-old managed while wearing a surgical boot because of a leg injury. “It hurts, but I was in the zone for a little bit. I was ignoring it,” said Chestnut, but the pain eventually slowed his pace in the 10-minute competition. READ MORE:Hot dogs in packs of 10, buns in packs of eight: Kraft Heinz asks ‘why?’ Last year, the Westfield, Ind., resident topped his own record by consuming 76 franks and buns. Sudo, of Tampa, Fla., set the women’s record at 48 1/2 weiners and buns in 2020, before taking last year off while expecting. She and Nick Wehry — a fellow competitive eater whom she met through the Nathan’s contest in 2018 — welcomed son Max on July 8, 2021. From dad’s arms, the baby watched his 36-year-old mother notch her eighth Nathan’s win. She told ESPN afterward that she hoped he would someday take a message away from it. “I want to set an example,” she said, “to do things that you love and push yourself to your absolute limits and, when things get difficult, to still give it a try. And, you know, you might actually just come out victorious.” Sudo then took over parenting duties while Wehry tried for the men’s title. In conjunction with the spectacle, Nathan’s donates 100,000 franks to the Food Bank for New York City.

Each of the two brothers killed in a shootout with police in a Greater Victoria suburb last week outside a BMO branch connected with the Canadian Armed Forces, although neither ever served. In an email to Black Press Media, a CAF spokesperson confirmed Mathew Auchterlonie applied to join the armed forces but did not successfully pass the Canadian Forces aptitude test. No date was provided as to when he applied. The spokesperson also confirmed that Isaac Auchterlonie participated in 2018 in the CAF’s Soldier for a Day program, which gives interested parties age 15-over a feel for the training CAF members go through and what their work entails. It does not engage participants in any firing or manipulation of live guns or other weapons. The program is designed as a type of open house, often run as a field trip for high school students. Neither Isaac nor Mathew Auchterlonie have ever been part of the Canadian Armed Forces in any way, the spokesperson stated.

The largest ever study into the health and longevity benefits of coffee carried out across 10 European countries suggests that coffee drinkers could live longer. It found men who drank at least three cups of coffee a day were 18 per cent less likely to die from any cause than non-coffee drinkers and that the reduction for women was eight per cent. The research was carried out by Imperial College London and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Coffee is very rich in polyphenols, antioxidant-rich plant compounds that, according to the BBC's Trust Me I'm a Doctor, "decrease blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart attack or stroke, and increase blood supply to the brain, possibly giving some protection against dementia". A note of caution though, the cause and effect relationship between coffee and health wasn't established in the study - merely that moderate coffee drinkers lived longer. Heavy coffee drinkers had a higher rate of all-cause mortality because they tended to smoke and drink more, noted Prof Sir David Spiegelhalter, Winton Professor for the Public Understanding of Risk at the University of Cambridge, speaking on the BBC's Today programme. He said that the effect was nevertheless impressive. He calculated that it could mean that drinking an extra cup a day over a lifetime "would put about three months on a man's life and one month on a woman's' equating to about nine minutes a day for a man and three for a woman." While he didn't think we should all be drinking more of the Java for our health (stopping smoking, drinking and exercising more would have far greater benefits, he said) he did point out that the study suggested that coffee could certainly be part of a healthy lifestyle. With that in mind, we're slightly obsessed by this fresh take on the daily latte from Plenish . It comes with all the health benefits of walnuts - vitamin E, and omega 3, which is linked to improved brain functioning. INGREDIENTS 1½ cups walnuts, soaked in water for 4 hours and drained 1 shot of coffee, cooled 2 ½ cups water 2 dates Blend all the ingredients until smooth (around 2 minutes). Leave to settle for a couple of minutes, then strain through a muslin cloth or fine strainer. Wetting the muslin cloth will help it stick to the sides of the jar or cup and avoid spillage. Depending on the speed of your blender you might need to do this process twice to end up with a smooth milk. MORE GLOSS: Cow's milk alternatives, which one is right for you? Chill before drinking and add more water if you like a thinner consistency. NB: In our GTG test, we found making the milk first (blending walnuts, dates and water before straining) worked well, so that we could dilute the milk to the consistency we liked before stirring in the coffee. Our version made 1 litre of milk, which we used over a couple of days with a new shot of coffee.

If you’re finding that your good intentions at the beginning of the year have fallen by the wayside, we’re here to offer you a helping hand in seeing your goals through to fruition. Whether your aim was to quit smoking, lose weight, eat more healthily, manage your money better or to leave work on time, we’ve asked a panel of pros for their words of wisdom to ensure your resolutions last throughout the year and beyond. So if you’ve slipped up, don’t be so hard on yourself - January is a hard month to get through! Here’s how to get back on the wagon should you have fallen off for five of the most common New Year’s resolutions. 1. To eat more healthily Health, beauty and nutrition consultant Karen Cummings-Palmer says: It's easy to fall off the healthy living wagon when the days are cold and short. I say, forget about the wagon, it's an unreliable vehicle - instead take small tangible steps to change the habits of a lifetime for a lifetime. You don't need to achieve the perfect body this month, you need to achieve your perfect body and maintain it this year. Stop thinking of food as friend or foe, instead think of it as delicious nutrition - it will help you make choices that support you. Notice how your body feels when you drink enough water, eat plenty of green living foods and avoid refined carbohydrates and processed foods. Re-define comfort - feeling vital and energised, having a clear glowing complexion and sleeping well is so much sweeter than sugar! 2. To leave work on time Executive and Career Coach Anna Percy-Davis says: If you are finding this resolution starting to slip, you need to step back and really look at why you have such a resolution. A few things to consider: - Be more specific - what are you leaving work on time to do? If it is a vague sense that you want a better work/life balance, then that can easily slip away. But if you are leaving work to go to the gym/do homework with your children/spend time with friends you never get round to seeing, then you are creating a stronger reason to leave. - Keep looking for perspective. Sometimes we stay in the office because what we are doing feels incredibly important. I am sure you work is important, but is it a life or death situation? Work out at the beginning of the day what is important and really zone in on that - if you can, focus on great work, avoid bad work and don't let good work gobble all your time. - Finally believe in yourself enough to feel you have done enough. Often we fall into the trap of staying in the office because we don't believe we have done enough or contributed enough. If you want to leave the office on time and have a healthy work/life balance, you have to believe you are good enough and your work is good enough.

To lose weight and get fit Personal trainer Christina Howells says: If you’re not passionate about the goals you set, then it’s little wonder if you drop off. If it’s weight loss, revisit the reasons for doing this - it’s important to be true to your authentic self, your values and what is important to you. Make a list of the positive benefits you want to see and feel by achieving each of your goals. Now, look at the possible barriers to achieving them. This is not just about the physical things that can get in the way such as work, but also about your belief system, your reactions to stress and how you feel about yourself. Once you have identified your barriers, make a plan to adjust your life to create your new reality. Address the internal obstacles, life will always get in the way where goals are concerned and we can adjust for that but if we don’t believe we can achieve our goal then we are likely to drop out fast. One way to help is to actually visualise yourself already achieving your goal and writing them down in the present tense, i.e. I have lost 5 kilos in five months. I did this by eating healthy, quitting sugar and walking to work every morning. All you’re doing is setting your mindset in the positive rather than the negative. Write your story, take your positive list of goals as if you already have them and write how your life will be different in 6 months’ time having these goals. Put your story somewhere safe and maybe on display. You can come back to it at any time and make small adjustments, but remember to stay in the positive as this is your reality. Did you break your goal down into manageable chunks and plan your journey? If your goal is to lose 10 kilos in four months, then break this down into 2-3 kilos a month and reward yourself. If you don’t make your target then simply re-evaluate and make a new monthly target. Revisit your goals. Be specific with what you want but also make sure they are realistic to your lifestyle and your wants rather than what you feel pressured to do. Often we make goals because we think we should be skinnier, or exercising more and start some radical diet plan or join every exercise class going only to feel disheartened when we are no longer enjoying ourselves. When you get knocked off track rather than get disheartened, ask yourself what set you off track and how you can change this. Explore the reasons and consider how you can plan for these obstacles or negative beliefs and reset yourself on track – don’t be beaten because you think you can’t when you can, you just need to take charge and turn the negatives into positives. On the first day of every month, do a quick check-in. Ask yourself where you are at in relation to your goals. How did you do in the previous month? Then make adjustments to set yourself up for better success. MORE GLOSS: 12 ways to stay motivated to keep fit 4. To be more in control of my finances Author and finance expert Heather McGregor says: ‘Start small. Open a word document or buy a notebook and spend an hour writing down everything you spend money on. Don’t worry about the take-out coffees right now, just list the big things – mortgage, electricity/gas, mobile, broadband, car insurance and so on. Then challenge yourself to review these things one per week, and see if you can get them cheaper.’ If you’re finding that your food shop is taking a toll on your bank balance, follow Heather’s sage advice in the below extract from her book, Mrs Moneypenny’s Financial Advice for Independent Women , £16.99 (one of our favourite self-help books for monitoring our money). Saving money takes time. To feed your household for less, do a two-week menu plan, draw up a shopping list to support it and then stick to the list. Online supermarket shopping is good for this, because it is not as easy to be tempted with random purchases when you are on the internet. You focus on buying what you need, rather than what you fancy, and are less likely to be sucked in by two-for-one offers - or, worse, three-for-two offers - on items you won’t get through. You waste less food and therefore less money. Oh, and never go food shopping when you’re hungry. Challenge yourself to set a target and stick to it. This will make the whole thing more fun. And it will be more satisfying when you achieve it! Can you make soups, sauces and stews which can be used for several meals? Can you take packed lunches to work? Can you buy cheap punnets towards the end of the day on market stalls? Alternatively, you may be inspired by one couple’s commitment to buy food only from local, small shops and markets (at www.ayearwithoutsupermarkets.com ). This has - possibly counter-intuitively - saved them money, because they have only bought what they want and haven’t been sucked into buying endless offers.

To quit smoking The Modern Day Wizard, Andrew Wallas says: Whenever we attempt to change any behaviour, whether stopping smoking or drinking or reducing negative thinking, the pattern we develop is inevitably an initial period of strong resolution with immediate results followed by a return to the default setting. When we slip back, the most important aspect is to not judge ourselves harshly. We all too often speak to ourselves with statements like “You have failed again,” “You never last at anything” and similar negative judgements. Whereas, the truth is that if we have managed 25 days or so with the new behaviour and 4 or 5 days with the old behaviour, this represents a massive improvement on the past history. So, instead of beating up on ourselves, we need to recognise that we have made significant progress and renew our enthusiasm to start the cycle of new behaviour again. Even if this pattern repeats itself time and time again, the cumulative number of days of new behaviour far outweighs the days of slipping back to the old behaviour. Even if over 60 days we have managed 30 days of not smoking and 30 days of smoking, this is a major improvement. Frequently, when we initiate a move to a healthier behaviour, there is a backlash as if there is an internal little demon that says “Oh no you don’t.” Once again, count every day of non-smoking or changed behaviour as progress. A useful tool is to know that we can start our day as many times over as we want. So for example, if we get to 11:00 am having been grumpy and obnoxious, we can simply agree with ourselves that we start our day again from scratch and create a different better day. We can do this many times over until we create the desired change. In exactly the same way, we can start over with our new resolution time and time again until the new intention remains strong. The key to this is “intention.” Intention is unrecognised and underestimated. Nothing is created without intention. We cannot build a house, fly to America, lose weight or have a baby without intention. Sometimes our intention is strong and at other times our intention is weak. It cannot forever remain strong so simply accept that this will be the case and maximise the times of strong intention and minimise the times of weak intention. Judging ourselves harshly never supports any change. Understanding and compassion supports changed behaviour. There is always a part of us that wants to change, e.g. giving up smoking and a part of us that does not want to change, e.g. carry on smoking. Accept this and allow the former to grow and expand and the latter to diminish. How are your resolutions going?

New year, new you – the mantra that the majority of us will be abiding to come January 1st. With a new lease on life and a new sense of perspective after the holidays, we often look to continue that stress-free attitude throughout the year, promising ourselves to promote a better work/life balance and to not sweat the small stuff so easily. Sounds simple enough. That is until you switch on your computer on January 3rd of course, and bask in the chaotic mess that is your inbox. If you’re always making the New Year’s Resolution ‘To be less stressed', but always find that it falls by the wayside even before the first week of the year’s up, getting into good habits now could improve your chances of success. Understanding what the key stress symptoms are, incorporating some valuable relaxation techniques into your daily routine and recognising when you’re exhibiting the signs of stress all work together to provide a valuable set of resources from which to delve into when times get tough. We asked psychologist, life coach and Get The Gloss Expert Elaine Slater for her top tips for how best to deal with stress and how putting in the groundwork now can end up making a world of difference to your physical and mental health. “Stress is undeniably damaging and disrupts nearly every system in your body. Long-term exposure to stress can lead to significant health problems. It is important to recognise the symptoms of stress and find ways to manage them and look after yourself,” says Elaine. Here’s how... What is stress? “Stress is the feeling of being under too much mental or emotional pressure,” explains Elaine. “Pressure turns into stress when you feel unable to cope; this triggers psychological and physiological responses. Stress can affect how you feel, think and behave as well as how your body works.” An emotion of which the side-effects can either help or hinder us, its damage can be widespread. “Our physiological stress response known as fight or flight is triggered by the hypothalamus and gets the body ready for action,” says Elaine. “Stress hormones are released into the bloodstream including; cortisol, adrenaline and an influx of androgens. Stress sits at the top of a cascade of events that lead to undesirable hormonal changes in the body, causing emotional and cognitive distress, weight gain, skin problems, as well as many debilitating physical symptoms.” Due to the demands of work and life nowadays, it’s no surprise that many people’s ‘default’ setting is constantly set on high alert making relaxation nearly impossible. “For many people stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. When you are constantly operating in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price,” warns Elaine. MORE GLOSS: How to overcome anxiety What are the symptoms of stress? Elaine recommends looking out for the following signs of stress in order to identify whether you need to slow down and take the necessary steps to address its source: Emotional symptoms Feeling overwhelmed, irritability, feelings of loneliness and isolation and/or an inability to relax. Cognitive symptoms Memory problems, inability to concentrate, constant worrying, negativity and/or a racing mind. Behavioural symptoms Disordered eating, nervous habits, isolating yourself and/or using alcohol to relax. Physical symptoms Fatigue, palpitations, tension headaches, insomnia, dizziness, stomach upset and/or IBS. MORE GLOSS: How to defeat low self-esteem What are the best ways to combat stress? By making some small but effective changes to your weekly routine, you’ll be better prepared for when stress hits its peak. “It is crucial to make time for: mindful rest and relaxation, exercise, plenty of quality sleep and a healthy diet during periods of high intensity,” recommends Elaine. Start small and don’t put too much pressure on yourself – these recommendations aren’t designed to set you up for failure. The last thing you want to end up doing is being stressed about being stressed … Tip 1: Slow breathing This isn’t as airy fairy as it sounds. Taking a moment to concentrate on your breathing has a deeper physiological impact than people realise when it comes to the inner workings of their bodies. “Slow and deep diaphragmatic breathing activates the vagus nerve which helps counteract the numerous stress responses triggered in the body by physical and emotional stress,” recommends Elaine. Tip 2: Meditation Set a certain time of day aside (whether that’s first thing in the morning or last thing at night), to block out outside distractions, put your phone on silent, quiet your thoughts and focus on your direct surroundings. “A quiet mindful meditation will stimulate the release of endorphins. This helps to counteract the impact of the stress hormone cortisol; encouraging a sense of deep wellbeing and inner calm,” advises Elaine. Find out how to meditate here. Tip 3: Exercise “Even a short burst of exercise can increase concentrations of norepinephrine, a chemical that can moderate the brain’s response to stress,” explains Elaine. “These chemicals calm down anxiety, reduce stress and aid relaxation.” That’s reason enough for us to reach for our trainers. Your chosen exercise doesn’t necessarily have to be HIIT though – yoga acts as a great way to balance both body and mind. “Maintaining a regular practice of restorative yoga, stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system; responsible for recovery and repair,” suggests Elaine. Tip 4: Good sleep hygiene The quality of your night’s sleep will only be as good as your surroundings. “Be mindful of sleep hygiene; make sure your bedroom is quiet, comfortable, ventilated and dark,” recommends Elaine. “A darkened room stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system and supports melatonin production.” Tip 5: Employ a digital detox Put the iPhone down. It’s 11pm, no one’s in the office and whatever tasks lay in store for tomorrow can really wait until the morning. Honestly. Swap your handset for a book instead and the improvement in your sleep patterns will truly astound you. “We live in a hyper-connected world; this can be stressful and negatively affect our relaxation and sleep. Enjoy a time out from your gadgets at least one hour before bedtime,” recommends Elaine. “Electromagnetic radiation from smart phones, laptops and iPads disrupts and overstimulates our central nervous system and significantly reduces melatonin; the hormone which regulates sleep. Enjoy a digital detox a few hours before bedtime to encourage quality, deep sleep.” That goes for the TV too… Tip 6: Healthy eating “Be conscious of eating a balanced healthy diet and drinking plenty of water. Avoid foods high in refined sugar, caffeine, additives or stimulants,” recommends Elaine. That mug of hot chocolate seemed like such a good idea at the time… Tip 7: Develop a support network “Manage stress by reaching out to your support network of friends, family, colleagues or your counsellor,” suggests Elaine. Stress affects everyone in different ways – some more than others. Have a friend that possesses the outlook that you would like to have too? Ask them to describe how they dealt with a particularly stressful situation – both mentally and from a workload perspective. Talking it out will help provide a valuable insight into their psyche and most importantly, show you that you’re not alone.

Are you suffering from a case of party season overload? With countless late nights, looming work deadlines and Christmas stress at its most high, our health can easily start taking a back seat to our diary full of meetings and social engagements. So to help keep us healthy and happy during the holidays, we asked GP Dr Anita Sturnham The Modern Day Wizard Andrew Wallas and health, beauty and nutrition consultant Karen Cummings-Palmer for their recommendations for helping us hit the reset button when we’re feeling particularly run-down. With their help, we’ll all be back to feeling our best in no time. Acknowledge and accept “The first and most critical element to bouncing back after burnout is to acknowledge the burnout and allow yourself to give in to it, i.e. don't try to override it,” advises Andrew. “Too many women (and men) are unaccustomed to listening to the tell-tale signs and they consistently override their exhaustion with the result that the adrenals are shot to pieces, physical symptoms start to appear and they go deeper into emotional overwhelm. The irony is that by giving yourself permission to collapse, you will recharge much quicker.” Food for thought “If you are feeling run-down physically or emotionally, it is important to eat well,” says Dr Sturnham. “Feed your body with immune system boosting vitamin A, C and E antioxidants by eating plenty of fruit and vegetables. Boost your omega 3 fatty acids which are essential for your mood and immune system. Good food sources include oily fish and nuts, especially almonds and avocados.” MORE GLOSS: The top 10 foods to boost your complexion No means no “Improve your boundaries, i.e. learn to say ‘no,’” cautions Andrew. “In any and every relationship, unless and until we are able to say no, we are never authentically saying yes to anything. Practise saying no and explain why; friends who are worth having will completely understand. If we don't learn to have healthy boundaries, we go into sacrifice and that is a huge contributing factor to burnout. This is particularly true with our children, where we have to learn to say no.” Ditch the detox “So many of us suffer from burnout at this time of year and despite our best intentions, we are doing too much on too little sleep fuelled by bad quality food,” says Karen. “Most people focus on detoxing after Christmas, but for those of us that don't live in sunny California or similar climes we would be much better off focusing on replenishing rather than any dramatic cleansing. “If you are suffering from burnout, it is a good idea to eliminate the foods that are taxing your adrenal system and adding to your exhaustion like refined sugar, highly processed foods and alcohol whilst ensuring your diet is made up of high quality, nutrient dense food, liquid and supplements.” Recognise the signs of stress “Sometimes when we are stressed and close to burnout, our bodies try to warn us that it is exhausted by sending out warning signals such as feeling fatigued, having poor concentration, erratic mood, difficulty enjoying actives one would normally enjoy, disturbed sleep, loss of appetite or excessive appetite and even anxiety and depression,” warns Dr Sturnham. “It may also present itself with physical symptoms such palpitations, dizzy spells and weakness. Listen to your body and slow down.” MORE GLOSS: How to beat work-related stress Body knows best “Get still and take a moment to truly listen to what your body needs and heed it,” advises Andrew. “Many of us have become disconnected from the messages of our body. The body always knows what it needs. For example, it may actually be more beneficial for you to lie on the sofa for an hour than exhaust yourself further in the gym.” Breakfast wake-up-call “Begin each day with lemon water which is both alkalising and energising and eat some good quality protein for breakfast,” recommends Karen. “This is the time to up your intake of leafy green vegetables and make sure that you stay hydrated. “As rest is such a vital part of recovery it is essential to create the best possible conditions for a good night’s sleep - try and incorporate a few minutes of meditation (which can be as simple as focusing on your breath) and switch off all technology at least one hour before bedtime!” MORE GLOSS: 15 ways to get a better night’s sleep Be kind to yourself “Practise self-love. Any time that we end up in burnout, we have stopped caring for ourselves many months beforehand,” says Andrew. “Learn to self-soothe and fully appreciate that you can only love others to the extent that you can love yourself.” Get support “A problem shared is a problem halved. If you are close to burnout let someone close to you know,” recommends Dr Sturnham. “You may need help with childcare, finances or in the workplace. Sometimes that additional support can be all you need to pull you through a low spell. If you are worried about burnout and don't feel that you can get support, you can go and speak to your GP. They are used to dealing with stress and burnout and can give you expert advice and access to support services.”	https://www.getthegloss.com/health/nutrition/run-down-rehab-how-to-bounce-back-after-burnout	2022-07-05T02:55:38	en	0.962377
Can you have your (fish) cake and eat it too? According to flexitarianism you can. A less extreme option for those who are thinking of becoming a vegetarian but who don't want to go meat-free for good, the flexitarian, or the flexible vegetarian, mainly consumes a diet which is largely plant-based with the occasional inclusion of meat - the amount varying from person to person depending on how they would like it to fit in with their lifestyle, tastes and health concerns. Its appeal and growing popularity lie largely in the versatility it affords to those with more carnivorous inclinations who would prefer not to fully commit to a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, but want to reap some of the rewards from health, ethical, environmental or economic perspectives. It also provides an alternative for those used to a certain way of eating and are fearful of losing out on the nutritional benefits of particular meat and fish dishes - while also providing a compromise for those who the words, ‘roast lamb for dinner’ is their very definition of paradise on a plate puts hand up sheepishly. Tempted to flex your meat-free muscle? We asked nutritionist and Get The Gloss Expert Libby Limon for her top 10 reasons to consider becoming a flexitarian to provide some interesting food for thought to see if it’s right for you. 1. It makes reaching your green goals more achievable Struggling to get enough of the green stuff every day? Going flexitarian could help make those goals more manageable. “For optimal health, we know that 8 - 10 portions of vegetables and fruits is ideal. Switching to a more plant-based diet which has these foods as its cornerstones makes this much easier to achieve,” says Libby. MORE GLOSS: Breaking bad - how to break a bad food binge eating cycle 2. It’s good for your gut “A healthy body starts with a healthy digestive system. Plant foods are packed full of fibres,” explains Libby. “These not only bulk your stools and help transit time, they also are the food, (known as prebiotics), for beneficial gut flora.” 3. It could be less inflammatory “Replacing some of your animal proteins for plant proteins can help balance inflammation in the body,” says Libby. “Cured and smoked meats in particular have been found to be inflammatory and are therefore indicated as risk factors for cancers and heart disease.” 4. It’s cheaper Swapping that double pack of minced meat for cheaper veg during your weekly shop could prove to be good news for your bank balance as well as your veggie goals too. “Plant foods are generally a lot cheaper than animal products because they don't cost as much to produce. So you can save money while also looking after your body,” says Libby. 5. It keeps you fuller for longer “Plant foods will keep you fuller for longer as well as hydrated,” says Libby. “Nutrient dense, with low calories but high water and fibre content, they will leave you feeling satiated without over-consuming.” 6. It encourages a more varied diet Being stuck in a rut of the same meals every day is a tale we know only too well. By adopting a new regime though which allows you to step out of your comfort zone from time to time (while not forcing you to jump out permanently) affords a greater opportunity to mix up your diet and incorporate a new roster of nutrients into your meals. “Variety is the spice of life and as a general rule, the more variety, the more nutrients and the better your wellbeing,” explains Libby. “Becoming more flexitarian opens up the possibilities of new and exciting foods in your diet.” 7. It helps support the liver “Fruits and vegetables are our natural abundant source of antioxidants which support our liver detoxification,” says Libby. “Optimal liver detoxification means vitality and glowing skin.” MORE GLOSS: How to get glowing skin - the 10 best radiance-boosting beauty tips 8. It expands your recipe repertoire Think vegetarian meals are all tofu, Quorn and bland nothingness not dissimilar to a sheet of cardboard? Think again. Fortunately, vegetarian food has come leaps and bounds from what it once was. “Vegetarian food has moved on a lot since stodgy staples of nut loaf and bean stew. It is influenced by global food trends, light fresh flavours, use of spices, herbs and superfoods,” reassures Libby. “In terms of taste and culinary experience, plant-based diets are an exciting way to eat.” MORE GLOSS: 10 vegetarian dinner ideas from the nutritional experts 9.

MORE GLOSS: How to stop hormones wrecking your life (and waistline) 10. It could be better for the environment “The environmental resources to produce energy in the form of plants are much smaller than those needed to produce animal-based foods,” explains Libby. “Our increasingly resource-stretched planet needs us to eat less meat to remain sustainable.” Follow us @getthegloss and Ayesha @Ayesha_Muttu .

With the weather getting colder, a steaming bowl of soup is the perfect winter warmer. It's easy to make, great for lunch al desko and is so popular on Pinterest that they've predicted souping as a trend for 2018 . But did you know your humble bowl of soup's lesser well known benefits could give your glass of green juice a run for its money in the healthy eating stakes? According to dietitian, nutritionist and member of the British Dietetic Association, Dr Sarah Schenker , “There’s more variety. With soup, there are a number of ways to incorporate different types of vegetables - you can put in pretty much anything that is going off in the fridge - whereas with juicing, there are often certain vegetables which aren’t suitable." She adds, “You can also include more of the whole vegetable in a soup, so you’re getting more of their full goodness; plus the added fibre makes them a lot more filling (for fewer calories) compared to juices.” Counting fans such as Gwyneth Paltrow and yoga expert Tara Stiles for both its health-boosting properties and nutritional content, it seems there’s more to soup than meets the eye. An unsung hero of the health food world, soup could give the juice craze some serious competition and prove better for taste buds, balanced diets and bank balances too. We find out why soup deserves a spotlight... Why are soups better than juices? Ultimately it’s their ability to include a more extensive range of nutrients to provide a meal that is better balanced. “I think soups are better than juices (even the Nutribullet types) because with a soup, you have the chance to add chunks of protein (meat, fish etc.) and wholegrains or pulses such as quinoa and chickpeas. This adds texture and will be more filling," says Sarah. "They will stay in the stomach longer too while they are broken down, whereas if you add ingredients to a Nutribullet, they are already broken down and will empty from the stomach quickly, so you lose that long-term satisfaction.” She adds, “In terms of nutritional benefits, soup is generally low in calories and the high volume of fluid means you feel fuller more quickly. Research has shown that veggie soup remains in the stomach longer than the equivalent amount of vegetables eaten with just a glass of water, so you also feel fuller for longer.” MORE GLOSS: 8 easy (but healthy) dinner ideas for when you’re too tired to cook Is homemade always best? Ultimately, yes, however that doesn’t mean extra expense or additional wastage. “It’s actually cheaper,” says Dr Schenker. “You can use up what you haven’t used in the fridge. “Secondly, you can control the portion size,” she adds. “When from a carton, you can’t always be sure how much to use. Making it yourself leaves you in control. Plus, you can decide which flavourings to use too. If you’re not too keen on too much salt, you can use alternatives such as paprika, herbs, lemon, lime juice etc. Also sometimes, some of salt added in manufactured soups are there as a preservative; whereas if you’re making your own, there’s no need for it.” Furthermore, they offer the perfect opportunity to let you creative culinary juices run wild. “They provide a great chance to try things that you normally don’t like. Try adding kidney beans, nuts etc. or something you already have but aren’t sure what to do with. The fact that so much can go into a soup, means it’s a chance to use healthy ingredients that you normally wouldn’t think about having.” MORE GLOSS: Breaking bad - how to break a bad food binge eating cycle What if you don’t have time to make your own soup? If time is short, there are still some healthy alternatives that you can pick up from the supermarket during your lunch break. The order of preference runs like this: 1) homemade, 2) carton and 3) tin. “If you can afford it, go for the freshly made ones in cartons as they’re the closest to the ones you can make at home,” advises Dr Schenker. “If not, a tin of vegetable soup isn’t a bad second choice as they contain chunks of real vegetables. You’ll probably lose some of the nutritional benefit but certain components, such as fibre and minerals, are not affected by the canning process. You may lose some vitamin C though as it’s one of most sensitive vitamins around, lost during the cooking process when heat is used.” Not all supermarket soups carry the same healthy eating seal of approval though, with powdered varieties offering next to no nutritional value whatsoever. “They’re more like making a hot drink than a nutritious meal,” cautions Dr Schenker. Similarly, not all carton or tinned alternatives are created equal. “If you’re eating a fresh soup from a carton, it’s worth checking what the ingredients are. If you’re concerned about the fat content, look to see that they’ve not wacked in full fat cream for example. Quite ‘posh’ fresh soups also contain ingredients like chorizo which, although are nice to have, are quite high in salt and fat. However now, a lot of manufacturers are a lot more careful about the salt content in their soups due to many being criticised in the past.” One of our favourites at GTG HQ is Soupologie - a superfood soup brand lauded for its range of innovative nutrient-packed flavour combinations (think ‘Spirulina Greens,’ ‘Beetroot and Pomegranate’ and ‘Spinach & Kale with Garlic’ ). Tasty, extremely filling (one pot equates to around two meals), dairy-free and gluten-free and thankfully, cheap (with prices starting from £2.99), they make for the ideal healthy work lunch to suit both budgets and busy work schedules alike.

Much in the same way that juices can be chosen for their targeted health and beauty boosting benefits, so can soups. Here are Dr Schenker’s top recommendations: The energiser: “I’d recommend a bean soup such as a ‘Five-bean Soup,’ as beans are a good source of slow release carbohydrates and protein, so you get quite a balanced meal out of it.” The metabolism firestarter: “A spicy Pho soup. There’s a small rise in metabolic rate when eating spicy food.” The complexion pick-me-up: “A Laksa [a spicy noodle soup], due to the vitamin E from the coconut.” The immunity booster: “Butternut squash soup, as it’s a good source of vitamin A which is important for the immune system.” The antioxidant medley: “Watercress soup is a really good one due to watercress's very high antioxidant content.” Could you have soups for every meal? Is it possible to have too much of a good thing? Most definitely. “You could have soup at every meal but I wouldn't recommend it as it would get boring!” says Dr Schenker. “Better to look forward to a soup and enjoy it. Think of it as a lunch option instead of a sandwich a couple of times a week."

From high GI fears to generalised carbophobia, your regular, run of the mill potato has been much maligned over time in favour of quinoa, brown rice and poor potato’s hip, more vibrant cousin, the sweet potato. With recent studies linking regular consumption of potatoes to both high blood pressure and an increased risk of diabetes during pregnancy , it could be perceived that our esteem for the spud is at an all time low, yet is potato dodging really justified? Given that crisps apparently had no adverse health effects in the aforementioned high blood pressure study, and neither studies state exactly how potatoes were served, concrete proof regarding potato’s damaging credentials is lacking. In fact, nutrition experts are all the more keen to sing spud’s praises in the face of pessimistic potato publicity. Here are some pros afforded by the potato according to those in the know… It’s not necessarily the sugar bomb you’ve been led to believe it is… Nutritional therapist Libby Limon debunks the health fears: “Potatoes are classed mainly as a starchy carbohydrate, with a high glycemic index of 85, therefore discounted as a simple carbohydrate such as white rice and pasta. However this is actually quite misleading because the glycemic load is low at 28, and it’s also quite low in calories (115 cal for a medium potato), with a moderate protein level of 2.5g for a carbohydrate food. Often they are cooked in unhealthy way such as deep-fried as chips or crisps, thus giving them a bad reputation as a unhealthy food.” Which leads us to our next potato pointer… It’s unprocessed Nutritional therapist Jenna Zoe feels strongly about this one… “It’s important to be aware of the facts outside of the current context of what’s trendy in health and fitness. Right now we’re living in a post-Atkins carbophobia. But potatoes shouldn’t be lumped in with white rice and white pasta because they are totally unprocessed. They come locked and loaded with awesome vitamin profile. If you live in the Western world and you’re eating a baked potato, that’s about as local and indigenous as it gets. Potatoes have been a major source of nutrition for people in this part of the world for thousands of years, long before obesity became a thing.” “As a side note, I see so many people avoiding simply cooked potatoes like the plague but then gorging on protein bars that are filled with things like grape juice concentrate - ingredients that will spike your blood sugar way more than eating a simple, natural carb.” Which links to Jenna’s next assurance… It needn’t lead to weight gain “A medium jacket potato gives you bang for your buck in the sense that they are only around 100 calories but very filling.” “Beware of avoiding natural carbs so much that your body then wants to overcompensate with say, too much fat or too much protein. For example, I see people overeating peanut butter because they’re training hard but won’t allow themselves some natural carbs like fruit or potatoes.” “Common sense around food always prevails. Some baked potato wedges with tahini and a side salad, or a jacket potato stuffed with beans or some tuna salad will not make you fat.” Libby also dispels the fat fear: “It’s great to eat both normal and sweet potatoes two to three times a week, as part of a healthy and varied diet of course, and as long as you’re not intolerant to nightshade vegetables. They’re not ‘bad’! Potatoes can form a vital part of a nutritious meal, although to keep it balanced you should always aim to combine them with lean, quality protein, healthy fats and other vegetables. It’s also important not to cook potatoes in vegetable oils that create harmful trans fats when heated to high temperatures, as is often the case with chips and crisps.” It’s a nutrient powerhouse The potato is an especially potent source of vitamin C, as Jenna highlights: “They’re a super-rich source of vitamin C, giving you half of your RDA in one jacket potato. Vitamin C is naturally present in nature’s carbohydrates (like all fruit and vegetables), because it slows down the absorption of natural sugars into your system. So if you eat anything ‘carby’ from Mother Nature without doing much to it, it will give you a steady level of energy rather than the sugar spike you might get from say, even healthy sweeteners. Plus, vitamin C is in no small part responsible for beautiful, plump skin.” Libby concurs: “A potato is nutrient dense, providing a good source of vitamin C, B vitamins, potassium and fibre. Baking them with the skin on is preferable, as that way they hold on to more of their nutritional goodness. Also do consider buying organic potatoes if you can, as these are generally more robust and healthy, producing more polyphenols, which means more health benefits for us when we eat them.” It can take on the sweet potato We may be bowing down to the sweet potato on social media, but boring old pale potato isn’t that far behind in terms of ‘wellness’ credentials, as Jenna emphasises: “We’re currently being told that sweet potatoes are better for us because they are slightly lower GI, but everything else is good marketing. From a nutritional profile standpoint, they both boast a huge array of body-loving vitamins and minerals and come in at the same number of calories.” Libby, however, can see to a degree where the sweet potato clan are coming from: “The colour of the sweet potato does give it an edge, making it an excellent source of beta-carotene, and phytoestrogens, which studies have shown to be helpful in supporting female hormone balance.” There’s not a lot in it though. It’s personal At least, how your body gets on with it is. We’ll let Jenna explain this one: “The only rule I have with any food is that you have to put all of the currently accepted knowledge aside and test it out on yourself to see whether it makes you feel good. So if you’ve been writing off the white potato for a while, consider this your carte blanche to eat some again and wait for your body to decide.” Let your body be the judge, and if you’re in need of any more endorsement peruse nutritional therapist to the stars Amelia Freer’s Instagram feed .

The European Commision has warned recently that at least 15 European countries have received eggs contaminated with the insecticide fipronil, the UK being one of them. While the Food Standards Agency has issued a statement to reassure us that the risk to public health is low, processed eggs in sandwiches, salads and other shop-bought products are the most likely to be affected. Despite the scare, eggs bought off the shelf are very, very unlikely to be contaminated, and from Sunday brunch to meat-free Monday, eggs have gained avocado-like levels of kudos across social media channels of late. Whether you’re tucking into eggs and soldiers, an omelette or some other eggy concoction, here’s the hen-cyclopedia (sorry, but it’s only just beginning) of what eggs bring to the table. The health profile The humble egg has a LOT going on. Freelance dietitian and BDA spokesperson Linia Patel breaks it down: “Eggs are composed of four main parts: the yolk, the white (albumen), the shell membrane and the shell. Although small, eggs are a nutrition powerhouse. They contain high quality protein, fat (a greater percentage of the healthy fats), a range of vitamins and minerals as well as connective tissue building blocks (glycosaminoglycans). Nutrient-wise, they’re eggscellent (apologies). Let’s zoom in on why…” Yolk: Excellent source of B vitamins such as B2 (riboflavin) and vitamin B12 (folate). A good source of the fat-soluble vitamins A and D and E. Contains many of the minerals the body requires for good health such as iodine, selenium, phosphorus and zinc. A good source of lutein and zeaxanthin which are known to protect the eye. Although high in fat, the majority of fat contained is from healthy fats that we need in our diet. White (albumen): An inexpensive source of high quality protein. Eggshell membrane: Rich source of proteins and connective tissue building blocks (glycosaminoglycans) such as glucosamine sulphate, chondroitin sulphate, hyaluronan, collagen type 1 and calcium. These are the elements needed to repair and rebuild cartilage and ligaments. Can be used in supplements. The cholesterol conundrum Eggs have suffered their fair share of bad PR in the past, particularly where heart health and cholestero l is concerned. Linia speaks up for eggs everywhere: “Although the yolk contains cholesterol, science has shown that this has much less effect on our blood cholesterol than the cholesterol we make in our body ourselves in response to a high saturated fat diet. Although no official recommendation exists for egg intake, research suggests that heart disease risk does not increase in healthy adults consuming up to six or seven eggs per week as part of a healthy diet.” If you have issues with cholesterol, chat the egg issue through with your GP, but it’s safe to say that eggs are not the prime suspect where high blood cholesterol levels are concerned. Pr-eggnancy advice If you’re egg-specting, don’t swerve an eggy breakfast, but do bear in mind that safe scramble and the like is all in the cooking, as Linia explains: “Eggs are rich in lots of essential nutrients that promote a healthy heart and help in brain development, such as choline. During pregnancy or breastfeeding women should ensure that the egg is well cooked, i.e, that both the egg white and yolk are solid, to avoid the risk of salmonella food poisoning.” In short, you can’t go wrong with hard boiled, and be alert for raw egg hiding in unsuspecting places, such as mousses, mayonnaise, ice cream and sauces such as hollandaise and béarnaise. If these products are shop bought, they’ll most likely be made with pasteurised egg, so you needn’t worry, but always ask or check the label. How to serve them You don’t need us to tell you- this can be as simple as boiling an egg or as tricky as nailing a soufflé. For particularly dietitian approved meals, combine eggs with wholegrain toast in boiled, poached, scrambled or omelette form, alongside vegetables, or add egg to salads to boost protein content. Linia likes boiled eggs as snacks too. Perhaps don’t whip them out on the tube. For further egg based meal or snack ideas, go on an egg hunt in our recipe section . What to buy It can be tricky to weigh up your options when stood in a supermarket confronted with illustrations of happy looking hens and Hovis-like countryside scenes. Here’s what to put on your shopping list, starting with a basic pointer to avoid both disappointment and a health scare from Linia: “Always pick eggs that are perfectly intact, not cracked or broken. Get into the habit of inspecting your eggs before buying them.” Organic The golden egg from both an animal welfare and health point of view. According to Linia, picking organic or free-range has health kudos: “Good husbandry will have a positive impact on the nutritional quality of the eggs.” When buying organic, you’ll pay a premium, but you’re shelling out for top notch standards in terms of giving chickens a good life. Look out for eggs laid at an organic farm certified by the Soil Association, which offers the highest levels of animal husbandry, with flocks generally no larger than 2000 and 10m² of outdoor space per hen. Unsurprisingly, beak trimming is also banned by the Soil Association. Beak-trimming is a common practice in the UK and worldwide whereby laying hens have around a third of their beaks removed by infrared, with no anaesthetic, to reduce incidences of ‘feather pecking’, where chickens peck each other, often aggressively. Although the RSPCA supports a ban on beak-trimming (which the government rejected last year), the harm caused by feather-pecking often doesn’t leave non-organic farmers with many options where beak-trimming is concerned, as highlighted in an RSPCA statement on the subject: “We’re disappointed that the serious problems that can occur from injurious pecking and cannibalism, cannot yet be fully and confidently avoided without beak trimming.” If you’re investing in organic eggs, farmers have resources to give birds more space and higher quality feed (often organic), and each stage of egg production will be regularly and thoroughly audited. You may find that egg size varies in the box too, as eggs laid by pullets (young hens) tend to be smaller, while eggs laid by older hens are paler in colour and larger. Less constrictions regarding uniformity means higher welfare for chickens, as some chickens farmed by other methods are forced to produce up to 500 eggs a year due to overfeeding and constant exposure to artificial light, when in the wild they may only lay up to 20. Despite the overwhelming benefits of buying organic, only 2% of the 12.2bn eggs sold in the UK in 2015 were organic. In the same vein as buying better quality meat, less frequently, it might be worth re-assessing your weekly egg budget if you have the means. That way you know that the romantic illustration on your egg box is far closer to reality. Look for ‘0’ on the box when you’re buying, and as when buying all eggs, the British Lion quality mark indicates that the eggs were laid in the UK, with hens immunised against salmonella. Free-range Free-range eggs make up 50% of all eggs sold in the UK, and you can identify them via ‘1’ printed on the box. As far as welfare goes, a free-range bird will have access to outdoor space with greenery all day, with at least 4m² allocated per hen. At nighttime, hens are kept indoors in barns, with a maximum of nine birds per m² and beds and perches must be provided. Beak trimming is relatively routine in the free-range system, but look out for British Blacktail eggs in supermarkets, which are laid by hens that haven’t undergone beak trimming. It’s worth noting that at the current time, due to biosecurity measures against the spread of avian flu, approximately 20% of formerly free-range farms are keeping hens indoors in high risk areas, and as a result these eggs will be relabelled as barn eggs. Barn eggs Coming in at a fifth cheaper than free-range, barn eggs, as the name suggests, are laid by hens that are kept in barns, with up to nine hens permitted per m². Hens have scratches, beds and perches, plus boxes in which to lay eggs (one box per five hens). Beak trimming is usually practiced. If boxes are stamped with the British Lion symbol (also look for the number ‘2’), flocks will be no larger than 6000 birds. Caged eggs The lowest of the low where hen welfare is concerned, although battery cages were banned in the EU in 2012. If you’re going to buy caged (the box will be stamped with a ‘3’), always buy British, as this at least guarantees that hens are housed in “enriched” cages, with small areas to nest, scratch and run, and slightly higher and wider cages (13-14 hens per m²). Hens almost always undergo beak trimming. If you’re looking to avoid caged eggs, shop at Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Co-Op and Marks & Spencer, all of which no longer sell caged eggs. Omega 3 enriched eggs More and more ranges come complete with added “good fats”. Here’s Linia’s verdict: “Omega-3 enriched eggs will have a little more omega-3 than regular eggs, but this amount is very small, so can be used to top up your intake of omega-3, however isn’t going to deliver your intake of omega-3 for the day. If you buy these eggs, eat them as early as possible to keep these oils fresh!” Duck eggs Think your average egg, gone XL. Linia puts it simply: “Duck eggs are larger and have more protein, fat and cholesterol than chicken eggs” Quail eggs In the case of quail eggs, Linia underlines that the opposite criteria applies: “Quail eggs have a similar nutritional composition and flavour to chicken eggs but they are much smaller so you need to eat about five quail eggs to equal one large chicken egg.” A note on yolks A bright, Berocca shade of yolk may be the most desirable, and in many cases a vibrant yolk is indicative that a hen has had a varied diet with plenty of fresh greens and often corn, but it’s worth mentioning that, especially during the winter months when vegetation is scarce, feed is sometimes supplemented with a natural colouring called citranaxanthin, which is found in the peel of citrus fruits. Other colourings, such as canthaxanthin which is occasionally used abroad, are banned by the British Lion code of practice. Don’t whisk it The NHS recommends eating eggs no later than 28 days after they’ve been laid, but to test whether your egg is a goner, gently ease it into a glass of water. If it’s fresh it will sink, and if it’s rotten, it’ll float. It’s also recommended to store eggs in the fridge, and once cooked eat them within two days (you can stretch it to three if they’re hard boiled). Want to get cracking immediately?

You've Googled 'how do I stop anxiety', had a warm bath, made a calming ritual of your skincare, perfected your sleep hygiene with fresh sheets and a cool room, and taken yourself off social media. But sometimes all the self-care acts in the world aren't enough to soothe a fretful mind. While medication is a life-saving route for some (read our columnist Nicola Bonn's moving account of her journey with anxiety meds ), there's also a huge interest in natural or herbal remedies for anxiety. Can specific supplements and herbs really help make us feel less anxious? Alone, no, but they could help strengthen our defences physically to ensure we’re more mentally prepared to tackle its effects. “Anxiety can present itself in many different ways, from feeling sick in the stomach to a full-blown panic attack,” says nutritional therapist and GTG Expert Zoe Stirling . “It’s becoming increasingly common. Anxiety and anxiety disorders can manifest for so many different reasons and therefore treating them will differ from one person to the next. The root of anxiety may be due to stress, poor sleep or a lifestyle high in stimulants. It’s important to note that managing anxiety is best done through a combination of dietary and lifestyle changes with a targeted supplement plan, best designed by a nutritional therapist.” While there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach, there are some nutrients, vitamins and minerals that could make a difference depending on the cause of your anxiety. Word of warning, some natural remedies don't have a lot of research or regulation behind them. Take CBD oil; a relative newcomer to the supplements scene. It has been lauded for being able to ease everything from anxiety to pain and sleep issues. Is it as good as it sounds? Nothing's ever that simple, says Charlotte Faure Green , who, as a BANT (British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy) registered nutritionist, is unable to recommend CBD oils to clients. "CBD extracts have novel food status under the Food Standards Agency," she explains, "which means that as they weren't widely consumed in the UK before May 1997 there is no 'history of consumption' and each manufacturer needs to go through rigorous testing to prove safety. My understanding is that Brexit has also caused issues around CBD getting thoroughly regulated. But it's in process, so watch this space." However, it's not all bad news on the CBD front. Many people swear by it anecdotally and research is emerging. Dr Sarah Brewer, Medical Director of Healthspan and author of CBD: The Essential Guide to Health & Wellness , says: "CBD is emerging as an effective alternative to anti-anxiety medication. User surveys show that anxiety is one of the most common reasons for taking CBD, second only to pain overall. "A 2012 review of all the evidence concluded that CBD has clear anti-anxiety effects that are similar to those of prescribed anti-anxiety drugs. So, for dealing with day-to-day anxiety associated with the pressures of modern life, it is likely that CBD will help you feel more calm, relaxed and able to cope even at relatively low doses," she says. Then, of course, there's St John's Wort, which came to prominence as a herbal remedy for depression in the 1990s. It's one of the most heavily researched for efficacy: a 2008 review of 29 international studies suggested that it may be as effective as standard prescription antidepressants for depression of mild to moderate severity. However, it's still not known why it is an effective antidepressant and anxiolytic (i.e. anti-anxiety med). "Some experts believe it acts much like an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) giving an increase of the happy neurotransmitter, serotonin, in the brain," Faure Green says. But it's fallen out of favour in recent years because it can have side effects. "It can cause stomach upsets, headaches, fatigue, dizziness and dry mouth," Faure Green says."It also interacts with a whole host of medications and can make oral contraceptives less effective. Furthermore, it can take up to six weeks to take effect when most people are looking for immediate relief. While it can be effective for many, frankly, there are safer options readily available these days." Which are the best natural remedies for anxiety? We asked Stirling, Faure Green, Brewer and Shabir Daya, pharmacist and co-founder of Victoria Health to give us their top picks. 1. Ashwagandha to ease anxiety If you're feeling anxious, it might be wise to step away from your regular morning coffee, which can give you the jitters. "Your cup of coffee may be doing far more damage than you might think, especially if you’re susceptible to anxiety," says Stirling. Ashwagandha is a herb that feeds the body and mind and is known to calm the body, as well as give you natural energy - not that wired feeling you get after stimulants." Drink an ashwagandha-spiked drink in the morning instead of coffee and see how your anxiety levels fare. Ancient + Brave's hot chocolate style Cacao and Collagen , £26.99 for approx 25 servings, blends a dose of collagen and ashwagandha into a warming drink that nourishes from within. It has a slightly bitter, cinnamon taste so is ideal if hot chocolate is too sweet for you. It has 200mg of ashwagandha per 10g serving. If you prefer a capsule try Artah Enhanced Nootropics , £36 a mood blend of which the top ingredient is ashwagandha extract KSM66, derived from the root and considered to be the highest quality form of the herb. Formulated by nutritional therapist and GTG expert Rhian Stephenson , a two-capsule dose gives 1000mg of ashwagandha extract. 2. Magnolia rhodiola to reduce stress and help concentration If anxiety is leaving you feeling foggy and unable to concentrate, magnolia rhodiola may be for you. Trinny Woodall hailed this blend as one of her all-time favourite supplements. " Magnolia Rhodiola Complex is a herbal supplement in the form of capsules to alleviate stress, anxiety and low mood by lowering cortisol levels within the body. It contains stress-lowering herbs which help you to feel relaxed without drowsiness, elevate your mood and improve emotional well-being," says Daya. "Magnolia extracts have also been shown to reduce cortisol - the inflammatory stress hormone - as well as physically relax muscles and nerves. Rhodiola may enhance the uptake of mood-elevating serotonin, whilst theanine, derived from green tea, enhances the brain's alpha wave production which relaxes the mind. And, conversely, helps concentration!" 3. Siberian ginseng to restore mood balance “Siberian ginseng is an adaptogenic herb, a natural supplement that helps the body adapt to stress. The effects of long-term stress can be a common causative factor of anxiety and therefore reducing stress levels is often key in managing it," says Stirling. "Siberian ginseng should not be confused with ginseng, American or Chinese/Korean ginseng as they’re used for very different purposes. Siberian ginseng is uplifting while also being calming; it creates equilibrium, especially for the nervous system, making it ideal for anxiety." Add Herbs Hands Healing EnergiRevive Powder , £20 to smoothies, porridge or your yoghurt. 4. L-Theanine to boost happy hormones “L-Theanine is an amino acid commonly found in green tea and matcha. It has been shown to help increase low levels of serotonin and dopamine, both neurotransmitters that are essential for calming the brain and creating a sense of happiness," explains Stirling. "Try swapping coffee for a matcha latte or green tea to help increase l-theanine levels. Make a matcha latte using almond milk or simply add matcha to hot water to make a cup of tea.” If you find matcha a bit strong tasting go for a smoother ceremonial grade such as Clearspring Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder £15.67. For a capsule option, we love Calm by Earth's Secret , £35 a blend that ticks so many of our experts' boxes with 100mg of L-theanine, 300mg KSM-66 ashwagandha root as well as the stress adaptogens rhodiola rosea extract and holy basil leaf extract. MORE GLOSS: Am I just down or am I depressed? 5. Probiotics for mental health A good quality probiotic might benefit those with anxiety, says Daya. "Scientists have discovered that our gut microbiome has a direct influence on mood and stress, so having healthy levels of beneficial bacteria in the gut may help our stress response - aka the body’s ability to cope with stress. Probiotics aren't just to aid digestion - they're involved in numerous processes carried out within the body including calming, elevating mood, preventing urinary tract infections and even helping with oral hygiene. "I advise looking for a multi-strain probiotic which contains, at the very least, L.acidiophilus strains and Bifidobacterium species. Generally speaking, probiotics should be taken before meals so that the stomach acid does not attack these bacteria," Daya continues. "However Mega Probiotic ND capsules are coated to protect against stomach acids. And when taken with food, the beneficial bacteria thrive and colonise the gut rapidly. It provides eight strains of acid-resistant bacteria, including the two species mentioned above, which perform various roles including helping to support the immune system. It is also is free from dairy, gluten, wheat, soya, sugar and numerous other known allergens." 6. Flower essences to calm all the family " Rescue Remedy contains five Bach natural, original flower essences that may help calm the nervous system and alleviate the symptoms of anxiety, fear and emotional disturbances," says Daya. "It can be used to help you cope with immediate everyday situations. It is gentle, safe and can be given to children, teens and adults. Though, for infants, dilute with water. And the brand does note that you should consult a doctor if your child is under 12." Put four drops on your tongue or in a drink of your choice. 7. Magnesium to help your muscles relax When you feel anxious, sounds can sometimes seem too loud or lights too bright. Magnesium could be your helper here, says Daya. "Magnesium works with calcium for the optimal function of the nervous system, so without adequate magnesium, the nerve cells cannot give or receive nerve impulses. This results in sensitivity to all types of stimuli: lights may appear too bright, noises too loud and emotional reactions exaggerated." What's more, a lack of magnesium can make you feel out of sorts. "Magnesium is required for the manufacture of adrenal stress hormones and for its relaxing effects on nerve and muscle function," explains Daya. "So if you have a deficiency it can lead to an increase in anxiety and irritability," she says. "I swear by Better You Magnesium Oil Original Flakes, £9.95 - just put a handful in the bath. They're suitable for all ages and during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Children over 12 can also have a magnesium liquid such as Floradix Magnesium Liquid Formula, £10.69 ." 8. Vitamin B and C to up your stress defences "At times of stress, the adrenal glands create huge demands on B and C vitamins, leading to possible deficiencies," says Daya. "As these nutrients are necessary for the manufacture of anti-stress enzymes and hormones and for the optimal function of the adrenals themselves, consider the use of Terranova Vitamin B Complex with Vitamin C , £15.80. It provides these nutrients in a food base to help absorption and utilisation by the body. Children can take an age-appropriate multivitamin which should provide these vitamins." 9. Medicinal mushrooms to boost mood "Medicinal mushrooms are not new, but they're having a moment again," says Faure Green. "I use reishi a lot in my clinic with anxious clients. My favourites are Hifas da Terra Mico-Rei, £61.18 or for a cheaper option Myconutri Reishi , £21.95. Reishi contains polypeptides which are the building blocks of our neurotransmitters including serotonin and dopamine plus endorphins, all of which keep our mood stable and good. It can also calm an overactive mind and can be effective for those seeking calm quite quickly. "It has the added bonus of providing long-term support by building our immune system, which in turn strengthens our adrenal response to stressors. When stressed our immune function reduces leaving us more susceptible to infections - reishi supports so many body systems that it is a bit of a wonder supplement! "Take it alongside vitamin C containing foods, or your vitamin C supplement, to enhance absorbency." 10. CBD oil for anxiety disorders and sound sleep Many people take CBD at bedtime and for good reason. "Anxiety is a common cause of sleep difficulties, and a study presented at the 16th Annual Conference of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, in June 2019, showed that taking just 15mg CBD for six weeks produced significant improvements in sleep and quality of life." "Anxiety disorders are increasingly thought to involve an endocannabinoid deficiency, says Dr Sarah Brewer. "The endocannabinoid system helps to regulate the way we respond to stress and damps down excessive anxiety. When this regulation goes wrong, however, anxiety can result." She adds that CBD can also help you feel more relaxed ahead of a big event. "Cannabidiol, aka CBD oil, helps to reduce muscle tension, restlessness and fatigue and in one study involving people with social anxiety, taking CBD supplements before a public speaking engagement reduced anxiety, muddled thoughts, social discomfort and anticipatory anxiety significantly more than a placebo. Her pick is Healthspan Opti-CBD Capsules , £29.95 "as this form of CBD is absorbed more quickly and acts 16 times faster than normal CBD," she explains. Drops too are faster-acting than conventional capsules as they go straight into the bloodstream. Dr Brewer suggests holding Healthspan CBD Oil Drops , £28.95 under your tongue so the active ingredient is absorbed quickly. (We've tried these and they have virtually no aftertaste). "If you are on any prescribed medication, always check before taking any supplements as interactions can occur," she cautions. Disclaimer: Certain supplements are used for different reasons and a one-size-fits-all approach shouldn’t be adopted. In addition, pregnant women and anyone on medication should always consult a doctor before embarking on a supplements programme.	https://www.getthegloss.com/health/nutrition/the-best-supplements-and-natural-remedies-for-anxiety	2022-07-05T02:58:12	en	0.947621

Want to lose that bloated feeling? We asked one of London’s best nutritional therapists, Henrietta Norton Co-founder of food-grown supplements Wild Nutrition , for her top nutrition tips for eating your way to a flatter tummy and more energy from breakfast to bedtime. From the foods that cause bloating to her recommended bloating remedies, the dreaded day-end bloat will soon become a thing of the past with her nutrition know-how to hand. 1. Start the day with grated fresh ginger, turmeric and the juice of half a lemon or apple cider vinegar “This can help with the digestive juices needed for breaking down protein (undigested proteins can become a feeding ground for pathogenic microbes). Turmeric provides anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe distention.” MORE GLOSS: Gold is the new green - 8 ways to introduce turmeric into your diet 2. Soak your grains the night before “Phytic acid found in most grains can be irritating on the mucosal lining of your digestive tract. Soaking grains overnight and rinsing them before eating can reduce the phytic acid in them and reduce that ‘scratchy’ cramping feeling.” 3. Don't overload on too much fruit “This applies to whole fruit and fruit used in smoothies or juices. Large vats of juice or smoothies can mean a very gassy start to the day. Apply an ‘everything in moderation’ mantra, even if it looks or sounds healthy.” 4. Soothe digestion with avocado “Avocados are rich in soothing fats, amino acids and vitamin E to support an irritated tummy.” 5. Drink fennel or cardamom tea “Simply add a teaspoon of fennel seeds and 1 cardamon pod into a teapot of hot water, leave to steep for 5 minutes and drink. This can be enjoyed as a refreshing cold drink on a hot day too. Once steeped, pour into a jug and keep in the fridge.” 6. Don't snack on your emotions “It’s easy to graze on food at your desk or to cull emotions such as boredom, but eating ‘mindlessly’ in front of a computer doing work or on the phone, means that you are not able to give full attention to eating. This can lead to less nourishing food choices as well as affecting how efficiently your body produces enzymes and digestive juices to break down the food, increasing the risk of poor digestion and more bloating.” MORE GLOSS: 5 ways to overcome emotional eating for good 7. Chew well “The process of digestion begins in the mouth where enzymes are secreted in saliva to break down food. If we do not properly chew and make our food morsels smaller, we may be subject to indigestion and other digestive problems. The act of eating allows us to be mindful, and in the moment of our exchange of energy with foods.” 8. Move around and get some fresh air “Sitting for too long can contribute to sluggish digestion. Move around as often as you can. Even if you bring lunch into work, go out and walk around the block. Fresh air supports the metabolism and within that, peristaltic movement (the wave like motion of the gut wall).” 9. Drink in-between meals “Gulping liquid during meals can dilute the digestive enzymes needed to breakdown the food and can lead to digestive problems.” 10. Keep it light and simple “According to traditional Chinese medicine, digestion is slower later on in the day so eating less in the evening is a good practice 3-4 nights a week.” MORE GLOSS: Soup-erfood - is souping the new juicing? 11. Drink a glass of flaxseed juice “Bloating can be the result of sluggish bowel movements, so if things have been a bit slow (i.e. less than once a day), soak 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds in half a tumbler of water and leave to soak for 30 minutes, then drink the juice and seeds. This usually results in a more enthusiastic trip to the loo the following morning.” 12. Eat according to the climate “I advise clients to follow traditional practices and eat cold foods during hot weather and warm foods in the colder weather to improve digestion and reduce bloating.” 13. Take a probiotic that doesn’t contain FOS “Low levels of good gut bacteria can contribute to digestive issues such as bloating, but choose your probiotic supplement carefully. FOS, also known as a prebiotic, feeds bacteria and is often added in beneficial bacteria supplements but this can often leave you feeling more bloated and distended. “Choose a product without FOS and slowly build in more FOS-rich foods into your diet instead - artichokes, sauerkraut and chicory are good choices. Always look for quality over price and a product that contains multiple strains of bacteria (I use the Wild Nutrition Multi Strain Biotic , £35 in-clinic). Powders can be added into juices and yoghurts which can make them really practical for children too.” 14. Increase your magnesium supply “Magnesium is a mineral used by the muscles to contract and relax. A large muscle in the body is the digestive tract and if magnesium stores are low (from stress, medication use or low intake from food) this can affect how well the muscle works and can mean that food ‘lingers’ longer in the gut than it should. “This creates the perfect feeding ground for unwanted bacteria, causing it to become gassier. Get plenty of magnesium from your food in the shape of green leafy vegetables and seeds. You may also want to consider supplementing with a highly bioavailable Magnesium supplement , £16.50.” Follow us @getthegloss , Henrietta @henriettanorton and Ayesha @Ayesha_Muttu .	https://www.getthegloss.com/health/nutrition/the-bloat-busters-14-ways-to-feel-less-bloated-by-the-end-of-the-day	2022-07-05T02:58:42	en	0.946602

FOREX-Aussie ascendant before RBA; yen pressured by rising U.S. yields There was no trading in Treasuries on Monday, with U.S. markets closed for the Fourth of July holiday, which also resulted in thin currency-market trading. Economists polled by Reuters expect the Reserve Bank of Australia on Tuesday will deliver another half-percentage-point rise in interest rates as it fights to tame inflation at two-decade highs, matching the increase it delivered last month in a hawkish surprise. The Australian dollar ticked higher on Tuesday ahead of an expected half-point increase in the Reserve Bank's policy rate, while the yen slid against the greenback amid a rise in U.S. Treasury yields. The Aussie and New Zealand dollars were also supported by signs that the United States might soon ease tariffs on key trading partner China. Australia's currency climbed 0.29% to $0.6888, while New Zealand's kiwi rose 0.21% to $0.6222. At the same time, the U.S. dollar was up 0.35% at 136.165 yen, gaining support from a strong rebound in the 10-year Treasury yield, which jumped to 2.9780% in Tokyo on Tuesday from the lowest since May at 2.7910% on Friday. There was no trading in Treasuries on Monday, with U.S. markets closed for the Fourth of July holiday, which also resulted in thin currency-market trading. Economists polled by Reuters expect the Reserve Bank of Australia on Tuesday will deliver another half-percentage-point rise in interest rates as it fights to tame inflation at two-decade highs, matching the increase it delivered last month in a hawkish surprise. The Aussie was also supported by a Wall Street Journal report that the White House would announce an easing of some Chinese tariffs later this week in an attempt to dampen elevated inflation, analysts said. The dollar index, which measures the buck against six major peers, including the yen, was about flat at 105.13 after finishing Monday largely unchanged. On Friday, it rose as high as 105.64, threatening the two-decade peak of 105.79 reached in mid-June. The euro, which is the most heavily weighted in the index, rose 0.13% to $1.0435 after ending Monday about flat. Over the past two months, it has been bumping against a floor around $1.035, levels not seen since the beginning of 2017. The euro got support overnight from a bump in regional yields after Bundesbank chief Joachim Nagel said the very accommodative stance of the European Central Bank (ECB) would "swiftly be abandoned" and a restrictive policy stance might be needed to achieve the inflation target. The ECB is gearing up to raise interest rates for the first time in a decade later this month. The policy outlook may not sustain the euro longer term though, National Australia Bank markets economist Tapas Strickland wrote in a note to clients. "Europe remains stuck in the middle between the Russia-Ukraine crisis and a weakening global economy," he said. "Given Europe's dire predicament, it is hard to see an enduring euro rally, which may keep USD strength going for longer."

Looking for a way to boost your day that’s not just a short-term fix? Modifying your diet, workout regime and lifestyle to boost your endorphins could be the key. We asked a bevy of wellness and Get The Gloss Experts for their top nutrition, fitness and health tips for relieving stress and boosting your body's natural feel-good hormones - all in the name of feeling happier and healthier. And it's easier than you think... 1. Keep on moving “Not only is exercise great for keeping our hearts strong and our weight healthy, but studies have shown that when we exercise we produce increased levels of endorphins and serotonin (happy hormones) which improve our moods and energy levels,” says GP Dr Anita Sturnham . “ Exercising daily could have as much as an effect on your happiness as it does on your waistline. “Aim to do some form of exercise 3-4 times a week for at least 30 minutes at a time. This doesn't have to mean a workout in a gym either. A brisk walk, gardening, dancing, getting off the bus or tube stop early and walking the rest of the way all count as exercise. 2. Meditation “The fundamental meditation principles of quiet thought, contemplation and reflection offer an antidote to stressful and hectic 21st century living,” says psychologist and Buddhist Elaine Slater . “The process of meditation stimulates the release of endorphins, thus turning off stress hormones and lowering cortisol levels associated with the fight or flight stress response. “Meditation triggers the hypothalamus; stimulating the pituitary gland to release endorphins, promoting relaxation, self-healing and overall wellbeing.” MORE GLOSS: How to meditate – my mindfulness masterclass 3. Get nutty “Brazil nuts are high in selenium and also include amino acid tyrosine that both help to boost dopamine and serotonin levels,” explains nutritional therapist Eve Kalinik . “Just three brazil nuts per day will give your RDA of selenium.” 4. Get outdoors “Lack of daylight can reduce our vitamin D levels and a deficiency in vitamin D is thought to have an impact on our mood,” explains Dr Sturnham. “Known as the sunshine vitamin, vitamin D is produced by the body in response to skin being exposed to sunlight. It also occurs naturally in a few foods - including some fish, fish liver oils, and egg yolks - and in fortified dairy and grain products. “Vitamin D is needed for the production of brain chemicals such as dopamine and norepinephrine and acetylcholine. These brain chemicals are known to improve and increase attention span, and its concentration in the brain is directly correlated with the ability to focus for sustained periods of time.” 5. B vitamin boosters “ Vitamin B6 or pyridoxine is an essential nutrient for the central nervous system,” says Dr Sturnham. “Vitamin B6 is needed in the body for the production of certain neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine. “Symptoms of vitamin B6 deficiency include irritability, short attention spans and short term memory loss. Vitamin B6 is naturally found in brown rice, legumes, wholegrains and meats. Vitamin B12 or cyanocobalamin is another brain-boosting nutrient. “Supplementation with the vitamin helps improve focus and mood. Along with vitamins B6 and B9, cyanocobalamin is needed in the body for synthesising and regulating neurotransmitters,” she explains. 6. Have a yolk “Eggs even look happy and that’s because they also contain tyrosine as well as tryptophan, plenty of B vitamins and vitamin D that all contribute to producing positive thinking too,” says Eve. 7. Interval training “ Interval training can help to dramatically increase the intensity of your workouts and speed the release of mood-boosting endorphins!” says Albert Mordue, Performance and Swim Specialist at Bodyism . “Our favourite piece of equipment at Bodyism for interval training is the Versa Climber. Try using a 2:1 ratio of work: rest e.g. 40 seconds work, 20 seconds rest.” MORE GLOSS: Is your workout sabotaging your weight loss goals? 8. Affirmations “Our thoughts drive our moods and colour our perception of experiences. If you believe the phrase, ‘You are what you think,’ then life truly stems from your thoughts,” says Elaine Slater. “Research shows that up to 80 per cent of the thoughts we produce in a day are negative, and you can’t live a positive life with a negative mind. Affirmations are proven methods of self-improvement because of their ability to re-wire our brains by increasing the level of endorphins released into the body. “Affirmations make you consciously aware of your thoughts. They are positive statements of a desired outcome or goal. They are usually short, believable and focused. By repeating them, you change neural pathways and synapses in your brain to open up a new state of positive thinking.” 9. Have-acado “Avocados contain choline that also boosts serotonin and dopamine. They are also an excellent source of N-Acetyl-Cysteine and B5 that both help keep energy and concentration on a natural high too,” recommends Eve. 10. Cacao know-how “Cacao is the original and most natural form of chocolate that has a similar positive effect but rather than a sugar rush, it contains theobromine which is a mild and non-addictive stimulant and is released more gradually rather than a high and crash effect,” suggests Eve.

Green-spiration “Eat leafy greens in all their varieties ( kale , spinach, broccoli, rocket) since they contain plenty of B vitamins that tend to be depleted in stress. High levels of the stress hormone cortisol actually reduce levels of serotonin,” says Eve. “In particular, B6 supports the production and functioning of both serotonin and dopamine . And since these are generally considered to be a good source of antioxidants, this helps prevent damage of neurons (brain cells) for better cognitive functioning overall.” 12. Cardio works “If you’re feeling tired or lethargic, begin your workout with some steady state cardio. As part of the body's physiological adaptations to exercise, endorphins are realised in the brain which combats fatigue and gives you a ‘natural high,’” explains Albert Mordue. “Personally, my favourite piece of cardio equipment for this would be the Concept 2 Rowing Machine. Try warming up with 2000m on level 4 intensity, (for approximately 8-10 minutes).” 13. Monkey business “Bananas - also contain l-trypotophan, the precursor to serotonin as well as B6 that further supports this conversion,” advises Eve Kalinik. 14. Omega swatch “Omega 3s - that includes oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines and plant based sources such as flax and chia seeds are important to keep cell membranes fluid and flexible so that they can communicate effectively to one another and in turn, help support neurotransmitter functioning,” adds Eve. 15. Beetroot’s best “ Beetroot contains betaine which stimulates the production of S-adenosyl methionine or SAM-e and is essential in the production of dopamine,” says Eve. 16. Spice up your life “The chemical found in most spicy foods called capsaicin, is effective in boosting endorphins,” says Dr Sturnham. 17. The power of touch “Physical touch increases endorphins. Certain acupuncture and massage techniques are effective in boosting endorphins,” says Dr Sturnham. 18. Acupuncture acumen “Acupuncture is the best way I know to activate endorphins,” says fertility specialist Emma Cannon . “These are released when needles are inserted into the body resulting in the euphoric feeling patients report post-acupuncture. This is really important for health because when we release endorphins and feel relaxed and calm, our body is more able to fight and prevent disease. “For many of my patients, stress is a big issue and any technique that helps to release endorphins will help their health. Feeling safe and calm is part of the way the body heals. If we are constantly under stress we do not digest properly, we do not sleep well and we age more quickly. Additionally, we produce too much cortisol which negatively affects our health.” 19. Conscious deep breathing “Regular, daily practice of controlled deep breathing, such as conscious diaphragmatic breathing instantly turns on the branch of the autonomic nervous system responsible for restorative rest, repair and recovery,” says Elaine Slater. “It is a proven way of interrupting the body’s stress response and re-balancing the nervous system by releasing neurotransmitters such as endorphins into the body.” 20. Let’s talk about sex “Enjoying a good sex life with your partner is an ideal way to release endorphins. When an individual achieves orgasm, there is a rush of hormones that result in a feeling of wellbeing,” says Dr Sturnham. There’s been no better reason to book yourself in for a physical… Follow us @getthegloss and Ayesha @ayesha_muttu .	https://www.getthegloss.com/health/nutrition/the-feel-good-factor-20-ways-to-boost-your-endorphins	2022-07-05T02:59:12	en	0.934684
