 Everywhere, USA, December 2012 — It’s the question we ask ourselves almost every day: What’s for dinner?
Entwined in this daily dialogue is wondering whether we’ll need to dash to the grocery store on the way home from work. The next time we make a supermarket pit stop, Dr. Eudene Harry, author of “Live Younger in 8 Simple Steps,” would like us to veer in a new direction.
“When people shop on the go, they tend to gravitate toward old standbys and foods they can multipurpose with – which are usually not the most nutritious choices possible. But by substituting a few items on your list, you can not only look and feel more youthful, you’ll boost your resistance to certain cancers and other illnesses.”
Some of the most nutrition-packed foods not only taste great, they’re readily available at the grocery store and easy to prepare, Harry says. |

 Everywhere USA, December 2012 — What’s the holiday season without a party, right? And that means facing the inevitable buffet table laden with enough food to feed the neighborhood. Navigating this jungle is no easy task, but some helpful strategies have been supplied here that will hopefully allow you to enjoy the party without derailing your healthy eating habits.
We’ve all heard the advice about not going to a party totally famished, but what exactly should you eat before setting out to the soiree? Short answer: protein. Why? Protein is filling and provides actual nourishment—a smart move before you’re faced with the dessert table. For the record, fat is also satiating, but no one would advise you to eat more fat. If you’re going to a party, you’ll likely have that covered. (Most protein foods have some fat mixed in with them anyway.)

 Minneapolis, Minnesota, December 2012 — The International Olive Council’s (IOC) most recent research paper, “The Emerging Health Attributes of the Mediterranean Diet and Olive Oil,” is telling us something important.
It explains how the monounsaturated or “good” fat found in the Mediterranean Diet along with other lifestyle factors can help protect human health. The latest in a series of reports from the IOC shows that scientific research continues to uncover more evidence supporting the benefits of dietary and lifestyle choices on health, including the Mediterranean diet and olive oil. The full report is available at www.addsomelife.org. Key findings include specific health benefits of olive oil and the Mediterranean diet and an explanation of good and bad fats.

.jpg) A new study has found that people who have a healthy heart in middle age may have a life expectancy that's up to 14 years longer than people who have at least two risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 600,000 people die from heart disease in the U.S. every year. Deaths from heart disease account for about 25% of all fatalities.
A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association analyzed the risk of developing all forms of cardiovascular disease in people over 45. Data was pulled from five different national heart, lung and blood institute-funded community based studies. It included 905,115 person-years of data compiled from 1964 through 2008. Researchers looked at risk factors including blood pressure (BP), diabetes and total cholesterol (TC).
All participants were free of cardiovascular disease (CVD) at baseline. Main outcome measures included all forms of stroke, congestive heart failure, fatal and non-fatal coronary heart disease and all other CVD related deaths.

 All 50 States, December 2012 — Which American city is the greenest? Well, it depends on who you ask.
Every year dozens of publications and websites release their own assessments of which cities have the most environmentally conscious citizenry, the highest percentage of recycling or the lowest carbon footprint per capita.
Portland, Oregon, Seattle and San Francisco are often top contenders, but some of the other leading choices may surprise you.
Based a recent round-up of greenest U.S. cities, The Daily Beast, data was recently collected by market research firm Experian Simmons, which has been tracking the greening of the nation for half a century. Researchers polled thousands of Americans to find out what percentage in different geographic regions think and act in an eco-conscious way versus what percentage do not. Also judged was what percentage of this group make a conscious effort to recycle.

 Park Ridge, Illinois, December 2012 — The breakfast experts at the American Egg Board (AEB) teamed up with trend authorities at market research firm NPD Group to compile a list of top egg trends for 2013. In addition, leading health expert and well-known registered dietitian Kathleen Zelman predicts the role protein will play in healthy eating next year.
Protein at all meals, especially breakfast will be the power play of 2013. High-quality protein, found in foods like eggs, is the secret to staying fuller longer, helping people trim calories and their waist lines. With breakfast still the most important meal of the day, here's what a power-packed one could look like: one whole egg and egg white, a slice of Canadian bacon and low-fat cheese on an English muffin, fruit, tomato and non-fat milk - all for approximately 350 calories.

.jpg) The editors of this publication don’t often recommend a product. We create or edit and pass along information we think would be of interest to our readers, but leave the buying decision up to them. But this product is an exception, and a new offering our readers must try.
I’m speaking of Mystic Harvest Purple Corn Tortilla Chips, produced by Axium Foods. A respected Midwestern snack food company in business for over 50 years, they produce and are marketing this product themselves.
Not only are these chips crisp, with an excellent taste and mouthfeel, they contain the whole grains derived from a proprietary “purple corn.” This ingredient, made possible by another Midwestern company called Suntava, is at the heart of what makes this product superior.
Some of our readers will be familiar with the acronym ORAC. It stands for “Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity” and is used by dieticians and other food scientists to determine the antioxidant level in foods. The higher the ORAC score, the higher the antioxidant level.
