Gout is an intensely painful form of arthritis that affects over 8 million Americans. As our diets change to include more processed foods, and with the increase in popularity of high protein diets, gout is on the rise, especially for older men. Heres what you need to know about the causes, symptoms, and treatment for gout.

Gout causes your joints to swell up and become extremely painful. Its the most common type of inflammatory arthritis and is caused by a buildup of uric acid, a waste product that is produced when your body breaks down a chemical called purine in certain foods.

Gout is caused by a condition called hyperuricemia, which means there is an excess of uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is normally diluted in your blood and leaves the body through your urine, but when you have too much uric acid in your blood, the acid can crystallize and build up in your joints, causing gout symptoms.

Foods with high concentrations of purines include red meat, alcohol, and fruit juices even if they are naturally sweetened. In addition, seafood like sardines, tuna, and shellfish also contain purine and should be eaten only in moderate amounts. Read our article on the best diets for gout for more information on what you should be eating and avoiding.

Western-style dietary patterns seem to increase the risk of gout, says Hyon K. Choi, MD, a professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. A typical Western diet includes large amounts of processed carbohydrates like high fructose corn syrup, red meat, and saturated fats.

Obesity may also be a risk factor: A study, published in Arthritis Care & Research in 2012, found that people who are obese are around twice as likely to suffer from gout compared with people whose body mass index falls in the normal range.

Other risk factors include sex and age. Men are more likely to develop gout, in general, and women are at greater risk after menopause.

Some people may only have gout attacks periods of acute pain and swelling in joints once or twice in their lifetime, while others with chronic gout may have frequent attacks, several times a year, that dont fully heal in between episodes.

Some of the most common symptoms of gout are:

The symptoms of gout usually come and go, says Choi, although patients can have chronic joint pain if the gout is severe or longstanding.

When you have an acute attack of gout, your doctor will likely focus on treating your immediate symptoms first by prescribing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to help bring down the pain and swelling. For patients who get frequent flares of gout, long-term treatment with a medication that lowers uric acid levels, such as allopurinol, is recommended, Choi says.

However, while symptoms of gout can be controlled with medications, it is also important to implement lifestyle changes, Choi says, adding that a good place to start is adopting a healthy diet and exercise.

Left untreated, gout can increase your risk of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and chronic kidney disease.

Over the long term, losing weight may be an important step to treat gout, as being overweight increases your chances of developing gout. However, you should avoid extreme dieting, as losing weight too quickly can actually trigger gout attacks.

Avoiding high purine foods can help lower uric acid in your body, and consuming certain foods like vitamin C and coffee may help treat gout, according to some research.

Choi says that overall, the Mediterranean and DASH(Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diets seem to be beneficial for patients with gout. This means adding more whole grains, vegetables and fruits, and legumes to your diet and eating less meat. For more information about what to eat for each of these diets, check out our articles about the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet.

Gout can be painful in the short term and can lead to serious illnesses in the long term, but there are treatments available to lower your risk. The best place to start is to talk to your doctor about diet and lifestyle changes you can make to improve your health.

What is gout? How to know if you have it and recommended treatment - Business Insider Australia

If anyone asked you to name a body-positive icon, you'd probably think of Lizzo. With her unapologetic presence, her daring (and stylish) outfits, and incredible performances, the singer-songwriter is truly an inspiration. And yet, in a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Lizzo revealed that she too was not always comfortable in her own skin. While that may be surprising coming from her, feeling insecure or even ashamed of one's weight is an almost universal phenomenon. The average dress size of the American woman might be 16 to 18, but the pressure to be as thin as possible is as prevalent as ever.

Although I grew up in a Turkish household far from the United States, I'm no stranger to that same pressure. For as long as I can remember, I wasn't comfortable in my own body or rather, I wasn't allowed to be. My father was a doctor whose family had widespread heart disease, and my paternal grandfather was diabetic. My mother, on the other hand, had a very unhealthy relationship with her body and dieted constantly. In my house, everyone was either dieting or talking about dieting. And starting around age 6, one message was loud and clear: I was "too fat," and it was not OK.

For a long time, I thought there was some truth to that. Most of my friends had very small appetites and loved to play sports and run around; I loved to eat and preferred to sit and read or draw. I was also much taller than kids my age. In every school picture until I turned 14, I was hovering over my classmates. I only had about 10 pounds of excess weight on my frame not enough to be considered overweight but according to everyone else, that was a big problem.

I first started dieting at age 11, and by the age of 15, I was in it full-time. My "system" of dieting involved meticulous calorie counting, working out at a gym I hated three times a week, and having breakdowns if ever I gained a pound. I quickly lost the weight I intended to lose and then some. My family was delighted, and everyone around me showered me with compliments. I, on the other hand, was always hungry and absolutely miserable. I hated calorie counting. I hated working out. I hated not being able to eat anything I actually wanted to eat. But I kept going. Dieting seemed like a rite of passage, and I'd been warned repeatedly about the risks of becoming obese. And after years of being told my body was a problem, I worried that if I ever dared become fat, no one would love me.

I was convinced I could keep on self-loathing and starving forever, but eventually, I gained the weight back. It was my junior year of college, and I was dealing with serious mental health issues, which meant I had no desire to obsessively count calories. I started eating what I wanted when I wanted it, and my metabolism hampered by years of restrictive dieting couldn't keep up. By my senior year, my biggest fear had come true: I had gained 50 pounds.

And yet, none of what I expected would happen if I ever gained weight happened. I didn't wake up to find myself utterly alone. I still had the friends I had before. If anything, people enjoyed my company more probably because I was happier without constantly having to worry about how much I was eating. Men and women still found me attractive, and my life didn't fall apart, either. I graduated college with honours and moved to New York City. Without the pressure of losing weight, I realised I enjoyed working out. And while I still instinctively went on the scale every morning, I no longer broke down in tears if I saw that I had gained weight. My biggest fear had come true, only for me to realise that I had wasted 12 years of my life dieting for nothing.

Of course, I didn't wake up one morning and suddenly decide to love myself and my body. There are still days when I hate being a size 10 and vow to get back to a size 6. My parents were horrified by my size, and there are times when their comments still hurt. But after seeing that I didn't stop being attractive, desirable, or valuable when I went up a couple dress sizes, those moments are few and far between. After all, I know one thing for sure those 50 pounds don't mean I'm unworthy.

Fit Body Boot Camp opens with transformation challenge for Rockwall residents to lose weight on their schedule - Blue Ribbon News

In the world there are many rules of eating that helps to lose weight, start to feel better, etc.

At the same time, some of them more like superstitions or omens. For example, one of the widespread beliefs reads: quickly lifted after the fall on the floor food can be consumed without fear the bacteria do not have time to contaminate it.

But is it really? In search of an answer to this question the editors of the German edition of Fit for Fun went to the doctor Arefu with Assoalho who answered the question negatively: 5-second rule in this case doesnt work.

Regardless of how quickly you pick up products that have fallen on the floor, they quickly collect bacteria. This is so even if the food rises in five seconds or less. The results show that the food are accumulated microorganisms from the surface on which it lands, said the medic.

According to Casualhoya, researchers have tested a large number of products that are specially realise on different areas of the floor.

It was discovered that the 5-second rule has not acted for any product after the fall on the floor, although the degree of bacterial contamination were different for different food. The most powerful have it damp (e.g., watermelons).

Dry products, such as a piece of chocolate or a nut, gathered to himself, at least for bacteria.

But even they, according to doctors, is dangerous.

If you eat fell on the floor products, put themselves at risk of ingesting bacteria: E. coli or Salmonella. Both types of bacteria can cause unpleasant symptoms (e.g. diarrhea, nausea), sometimes can be fatal warned the expert.

which have proven the effectiveness of many Egyptians.

Nutrition

We turned to local health pros to find out if the dieting trend is actually good for you.

Intermittent fasting is the latest diet craze, but is it good for your long-term health? / Photograph courtesy of Getty Images.

Note: This post addresses intermittent fasting as a diet, not fasting done for religious or cultural purposes. You should consult with a doctor, nutritionist, or dietician before trying intermittent fasting, or any diet.

A few weeks ago, a group of friends and I were trying to plan a fairly low-key wine and cheese night. As if trying to work around everyones schedules isnt already difficult enough, we found ourselves faced with a new challenge: one of our pals was intermittent fasting and their eating window closed right when the rest of us could get together. Sigh.

This type of time constraint probably isnt unique to my inner circle, as intermittent fasting (IF) is on the rise. Historically done for religious or cultural reasons, fasting has now become a popular way to lose weight because you dont have to change what you eat, just when you eat. As an added bonus, there are at least six options for restricting food intake from skipping one meal per day to fasting for a full 24 hours.

Even though celebs like Jennifer Anniston and Hugh Jackman have had success with IF, we wondered: Is intermittent fasting actually good for you? Sure, fasting is said to have various health benefits other than losing weight, such as lowering high blood pressure, reducing oxidative stress, and boosting brain health, but much of the current research has been done on rats or in early clinical trials. Plus, being hyper-focused on your food might trigger disordered thoughts and behaviors like food-related anxiety or guilt, or even orthorexia.

To get the low-down on the latest diet craze, we turned to the experts at OnPoint Nutrition and Philly Dietitian to find out the benefits and risks of IF, and what nutritional alternatives theyd recommend.

Be Well Philly: Why has intermittent fasting been gaining so much popularity recently?Katelan Sottosanti, nutritionist at OnPoint Nutrition: Since IF doesnt require any calorie counting or food restriction (other than the timing), I think people like it because it comes off as easy and makes them feel like they are in control of their food, rather than the other way around. Individuals will set their own eating window and make their own food choices within the chosen time frame, making it adaptable to busy schedules or lifestyles.

What are the benefits of IF?Theresa Shank, founder of and registered dietitian at Philly Dietitian: Many studies show that IF patterns of eating can cause weight loss, improve your metabolism, and protect against disease and cancers. Though, its important to note that current scientific evidence for health benefits of intermittent fasting in humans has often been derived from animal studies. A rat may not have the same weight loss percentage as you! With that said, time-restricted fasting such as 16/8 or even 14/10 is a method that individuals can use to help instill boundaries around their eating routine. I think this type of IF can be a helpful behavioral tool for individuals who need help with recalibrating their hunger cues or struggle to curb overeating.

Emily Horstman, lead dietitian at OnPoint Nutrition: The only pro of IF that Ive identified is that it can make individuals more aware of their eating habits. Someone who begins to hyper-focus on the timing of their meals may then realize where they are either falling short or consuming excess. One area of excess this can really highlight is the late-night eating many adults tend to engage in due to not eating enough during the day. In this way, IF is appealing because it gives people a fast and easy way to assert control over their daily intake; however, its not an answer to long-term health, disease management, or weight loss or management.

Who shouldnt be intermittent fasting?All of our experts agree the following individuals should not be intermittent fasting: women who are pregnant or breastfeeding; anyone under the age of 18; those with a history of disordered eating and/or have obsessive thoughts about food and weight loss; and anyone with a medical condition, especially diabetes. IF might also interfere with certain medications.

Should people be wary of IF?Gal Cohen, registered dietitian at OnPoint Nutrition: Sometimes, IF can lead to disordered eating thinking patterns and behaviors. While some people can try IF and not exhibit any disordered eating once they stop, others may find that they are too restricted and too stressed over what and when they eat. Research has shown that over-restriction can lead to binges, and micro-managing your food intake and your eating window is pretty much working against your bodys ability to tell you when its hungry and full. Spoiler alert: we have hormones that do that!

Sottosanti: One of the big cons of IF is that fasting periods can lead to rebound overeating, which is similar to the binge and restrictive behavior of disordered eating. With some of the fasting techniques including a one meal a day schedule, fasting can cause fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and decreased alertness, as well as more serious health consequences like dangerous drops in blood sugar levels and disruption of your menstrual cycle. Individuals are also at risk for developing orthorexia, which is a disorder that involves an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating and constantly thinking about/worrying over your next meal (something fasting for 16 hours could bring on!).

What nutrition habits or practices do you recommend?Shank: Data across the board highlights the potential importance of synchronizing intermittent fasting regimens with daily circadian rhythms (sleep-wake cycle) to maintain optimal metabolic function. Personally, I encourage clients to be mindful of the timing at which they eat to suffice hunger and their nourishment versus eating as a reaction to stress, boredom, or other emotional or social reasons.

Cohen: The safest eating habit is one that is sustainable! Often, I see clients try to cut out whole food groups, jump on the latest fad diet bandwagon, or follow whats worked for their friends, only to realize that approach isnt working for their body. My advice: If its not something you can see yourself doing long-term, its not for you.

Sottosanti: Eating balanced meals about 3-4 hours apart encourages the intake of more nutrients throughout the day, cutting down on the chances of overindulgence at meal time. I [and the OnPoint team] advocate for a whole-foods, anti-diet approach to healthy eating that is sustainable over time. Thats when your nutritional habits truly reflect a beneficial, healthy lifestyle, rather than a bandwagon diet.

Donald Trumps former doctor has said he hid cauliflower in the presidents mashed potato in a failed attempt to help him lose weight.

Dr Ronny Jackson, the former chief medical advisor to Mr Trump, also made ice cream less available and planned to bring exercise machines into the White House to make the leader shed between 10 and 15 pounds.

The physician, who is now running to be a Republican congressman, said one of his biggest regrets was not implementing a diet and exercise regimen with the president.

The exercise stuff never took off as much as I wanted it to, Mr Jackson told The New York Times.

But we were working on his diet. We were making the ice cream less accessible, we were putting cauliflower into the mashed potatoes.

However, the plans never came to pass and Mr Trump gained four pounds by his next physical in February 2019, tipping him in to the obese category.

Mr Jackson first received national attention in 2018 after he gave a glowing report of the presidents health despite Mr Trumps love of fast food.

He told reporters at a press conference: You know, I told the president that if he had a healthier diet over the last 20 years, he might live to be 200 years old.

He has incredibly good genes, and its just the way God made him.

After these comments, the doctor became part of the presidents inner circle and Mr Trump nominated him to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Mr Jackson later withdrew from the position amid controversy about his qualifications for the role.

He was also accused of allegedly giving out prescription drugs like they were candy and being drunk at work. Mr Jackson said these allegations were completely false and fabricated.

IDAHO FALLS If you feel like your goal to eat healthier or lose weight in the new year isnt going as well as youd planned, then Tetons Healthy Hub may be a place you want to visit.

Its a new business offering a variety of nutrition products along with one-on-one coaching for customers. Its opening inside Teton Village in Idaho Falls next to Little Caesars in the space formerly occupied by Fast Bucks.

Tyler Varney and his co-owners, Alex Vanderpool and Matt Tollison tell EastIdahoNews.com they plan to open the first week of March.

If everything goes as planned, we would love to (have our grand opening) Saturday, March 7, with giveaways, discounts and a whole lot of fun. Then to have Thursday and Friday be our soft opening, Varney says.

Some of Teton Healthy Hubs products include meal replacement shakes, clean energy teas, childrens and sports nutrition products. The product list also includes Keto-friendly and caffeine-free options, along with hydration drinks.

All of us just love to help people, Vanderpool says. We serve those who have health issues, who want to lose weight.

The trio started the same type of business in Oklahoma two years ago and they say relationships are the motivation behind peoples desire to make a lifestyle change.

They have a 9-year-old kid they cant play basketball or soccer with for more than 5 or 10 minutes and they know that if they dont change their nutrition lifestyle, they may not see their kids graduate or get married, Varney says.

Varney worked with Randy Waters at SVN High Desert Commercial and Century 21 High Desert to lease the 900-square-foot space after Fast Bucks relocated in January.

Varney and his co-workers grew up in Oklahoma City. They have no ties to eastern Idaho, but after six months of market research, they determined it was an ideal location for their growing business model.

From left: Matt Tollison, Alex Vanderpool and Tyler Varney are opening Tetons Healthy Hub inside Teton Village at 2071 E. 17th Street in Idaho Falls March 6. | Rett Nelson, EastIdahoNews.com

Up north in areas with national parks, theres a lot of healthy, active people that just really enjoy nature. People that like to hike, go biking. We heard theres base jumping (near Twin Falls), so a lot of active things to do outdoors, says Varney.

The growth in Idaho Falls was another factor in bringing the business here. Many states in the south, east and midwest have a lot of companies like Tetons Healthy Hub sprouting up everywhere, Varney says, but the pacific northwest is virtually untouched.

While each of these businesses offers the same products and services, each is independently owned and not part of a franchise, Varney says.

Varney and his partners have had experiences that directly impacted their interest in starting a nutrition business. Vanderpool says her mom taught her good nutrition to help her do well in sports.

Varney was involved in a car accident several years ago that nearly took his life. The first responder who came and rescued him instilled in him a desire to help others. He eventually got into nutrition because he wanted to help others overcome their challenges.

Tollison lost 50 pounds using nutrition principles he acquired before partnering with Vanderpool and Varney.

Im here to serve people and help people lose the weight they want to lose and be healthy. The obesity rate is going up and its sad to see people like that, Tollison says.

Varney and his colleagues moved here in December and are happy with their experience so far. Varney says they are considering several locations on the other side of town to open another store in October.

Tetons Healthy Hub is opening at 2071 E. 17th Street. Its operating hours will be 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Visit the Facebook page for more information.

Imagine an omelette without egg! Sounds impossible, right? But here we have a recipe of eggless omelette that can be a perfect meal for your breakfast. Due to the morning rush, we generally tend to skip breakfast one of the most important meals of the day. Since our body consumes all the energy post dinner till the morning, breakfast as per the health experts, should never be skipped. Believe it or not 'Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper' may just be the health mantra you have been looking for.

Starting your day with hunger, tires you fast. It is because of the imbalance in glucose level in the body. If you are trying to lose weight, it is advisable to never skip your breakfast. Whichever diet program you follow, a sumptuouspromotes body's metabolism rate, which accelerates weight loss.

Vlogger and YouTuber Parul, on her YouTube channel 'Cook With Parul', posted a recipe of potato veggie omelette that is not only tasty, but also easy to cook. The best part is that this recipe needs very basic ingredients, which are easily available in your kitchen. All you need are- potato, tomato, onion (optional), ginger paste, besan(Bengal gram flour), maida(all-purpose flour), salt, baking powder, red chilli flakes (or dry red chilli powder) and a pinch of haldi (turmeric powder). Baking powder is the star in the show as this ingredient makes the dish fluffy like an omelette.

Though this dish is made using potato, you can use any vegetable of your choice to make this omelette.

So, do the experts recommend the Master Cleanse? While many professionals have their own opinions, the verdict from McGrath and Seltzer is clear: It's best to proceed with caution.

According to McGrath, the risks outweigh the benefits. "It's not sustainable, it does not help you make a permanent lifestyle change, it can cause muscle loss, and it's not an enjoyable way of eating."

"In regards to detoxification, the body's kidneys and liver are natural detoxifiers, meaning that structured detoxes are not necessary," she continues. Instead, she recommends focusing on eating more fruits and vegetables and drinking more water to maximize your vitamin and mineral content. All of these essential nutrients play an important role in your body's natural detox process.

More specifically, McGrath recommends cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts, along with allium veggies like garlic and onions, which contain certain sulfur-based compounds that help activate detoxification enzymes and promote other detox-related functions.

Seltzer also recommends avoiding this plan, despite the touted weight loss benefits. "You should avoid cleanses, especially for weight loss. This plan doesn't address the issues that get people into trouble in the first place, so they will still be there when the cleanse is over. If you are going to do it anyway, talk to your doctor first to make sure it is not going to be dangerous for you."

If you're trying to lose weight, Seltzer says your best bet is to eat healthier foods and move more. "How you should do it depends on your lifestyle, food preferences, activity level, and other unique factors," he says. For example, some people do well with intermittent fasting, whereas others must eat breakfast to maintain a calorie deficit. The bottom line is this: You would be better off experimenting with what works best for your body. You might lose water weight, but that weight usually comes back on once you start eating regularly."

Is The Master Cleanse Diet Actually Healthy? Here's What The Experts Say - mindbodygreen.com

Sounds wonderful, right? Well, a new version of keto aimed at upping all of these perks has keto fanatics buzzing, but some health and nutrition pros say it may be even more unsustainable than the keto diet you already know. The new version is called Speed Keto, and dietitians aren't exactly recommending it if you're looking to lose weight or start eating healthier.

Still, if you're curious about the eating plan and its origin, here's what you need to know.

Basically, Speed Keto is a combination of the traditional keto diet (made up of 60 to 70 percent fat, 15 to 30 percent protein, and 5 to 10 percent carbs) and intermittent fasting (IF), which involves alternating between various periods of fasting and eating. One of the most common styles of IF is the 16:8 method , in which you fast for 16 hours and can eat during the 8-hour period that follows.

When it comes to Speed Keto, the goal is to get the dieter down to one meal per day, which also has to fit into the keto guidelines of being high-fat and low-carb. The goal of eating less carbs is to get the body into a state of ketosis, which is when your body burns fat, instead of carbohydrate stores, for fuel, which can lead to weight loss.

Speed Keto, which you can buy as a digital program , was created by Harlan Kilstein, an expert coach and motivator with a doctor of education degree, according to his website. Per the site, Speed Keto is meant to simplify the dieting process and help people get past weight-loss plateaus that might occur after eating a traditional keto diet for a few weeks.

"I think keto and 'Speed Keto' diets will result in weight loss," says Hillary Cecere, registered dietitian at Eat Clean Bro . "Any time food is restricted and a calorie deficit occurs, so will weight loss, and when your eating window is smaller, you are more likely to consume less calories."

That being said, Cecere doesn't support the diet as a healthy way of eating. "This diet is unsustainable. Once it's no longer being utilized, weight gain will happen," Cecere says. "I also think it eliminates a lot of nutrient-dense foods . This diet is not for health or longevityit's only for quick weight loss."

In order to maintain weight loss, it's crucial that the diet you follow is something you can sustain long-term, notes Cecere. And if eating keto in general isn't your cup of tea, that's totally fine, too. "You don't need to be in ketosis to lose weight," she says. "Weight loss is determined by calorie deficitthere are plenty of other healthy, sustainable ways to lose weight if that's something you're interested in."

It's also worth noting that combining keto and intermittent fasting isn't exactly new. Many people have been following a diet that combines the two because eating mostly fats and proteins does fill you up and make it easier to fast between meals. The difference here is that Speed Keto recommends a specific IF schedule and one meal a day.

"Combining a super restrictive diet with long periods of non-eating is not good," Scott Keatley, RD, of Keatley Medical Nutrition Therapy , previously told WH . The body will cannibalize its own muscle for energy if intake from food is too low but the body does not differentiate between something like a calf muscle or a heart muscle. Keatley added that all your important organs are made of smooth muscle, "and going on a diet like this may harm something like your bladder or lungs just as much as provide fat loss."

It's also worth noting that following a regular keto diet can already have some not-so-pleasant side effects . At the end of the day, whether you want to follow a keto eating plan is up to you, but experts generally warn against pairing keto with an extreme intermittent fasting schedule in the way that the Speed Keto diet does, experts caution. Whatever you choose diet-wise, it's always wise to talk to a dietitian or trusted MD before you drastically overhaul your eating plan.

The bottom line: Speed Keto may not be a sustainable option when it comes to weight loss.
