First, lets establish that nutrition and diet culture are two different animals. Most parents want our kids to eat vegetables, for example. But its worth examining why: Chances are, you may be less concerned about preventing scurvy than you are about your childs current or future body size, Fonnesbeck said. Theres eating for health and nourishment, and then there is eating for weight control. They are actually not one and the same. And eating for weight control poses specific risks for kids: Research shows that dieting now can increase your childs risk for developing an anorexia, bulimia or another eating disorder later on, which is why, in 2016, the American Academy of Pediatrics published a report advising parents and pediatricians to focus on creating a healthy lifestyle rather than weight and weight loss with children.

[What to do if youre worried about your childs weight.]

This is not to say you cant help children learn to love vegetables or should stop encouraging them to be physically active. But in most cases, we dont need to do much more than offer a variety of healthy foods on a regular meal schedule and then let kids decide for themselves how much to eat, as I explored last month. But parents need to remove the diet and weight loss piece of the equation because kids will pick up on that pressure even if its largely unspoken. When kids see diet culture messaging and absorb their parents worries about body size, it can instill a sense of guilt and fear around food that may impact their relationship with eating for years or even decades to come, Harrison said.

This is also true, by the way, if youre laid back about your kids food choices but are meanwhile launching yourself onto a January cleanse, detox, diet or lifestyle plan. A 2018 survey of 507 adults found that 64 percent recalled one or both of their parents dieting during their childhood; and those participants were more likely to recall parental criticism of their own weight and eating behaviors than adults who didnt grow up with dieting parents. A 2016 study that followed 181 mother-daughter pairs for six years found that the girls with mothers on diets were significantly more likely to start dieting themselves before age 11. The study noted that dieting is generally associated with an increased likelihood of overeating, greater weight gain and chronic health problems.

Parents do need to know that kids are likely to notice if youre not eating or are doing weird things with food, Harrison said. That sends a message that you think food is bad, or you dont like your body and to a childs brain it can seem like thats what it means to be a grown-up. At the same time, Harrison emphasized that parents shouldnt feel shame for bringing these messages home; in our current culture its virtually unavoidable. But it can be motivating to realize that healing your own relationship with food and your body is going to be helpful for your children as well.

Instead of opting for yet another diet this year, Fonnesbeck encouraged parents to ask, What can I do to make a positive impact on my and my familys health and well-being without the risk of a diet? She suggested setting small but achievable goals like cooking more at home, eating breakfast regularly or spending more time outside. You might also resolve to change the way you talk about food and bodies with your kids to help them listen to their bodies more. Try, What is your tummy telling you? in place of How can you still be hungry?! And, Youll know how much your body wants and needs is a better way to help kids regulate their own treat intake than Youve had enough cookies today.

When trying to lose a few pounds, slimmers can change their diet plans and start to exercise more. The government has urged Britons to stay at home amid the coronavirus pandemic which means many are struggling to stick to their usual fitness regime. A man shed one stone and carved six pack abs in just 12 weeks with at home workouts.

Mat Smith, 40, from Cheltenham, first decided to get into shape after becoming a father-of-two.

With two young children in the house, he wanted to set a good example and started to workout at home.

Mat said: "My biggest motivation for maintaining a healthy lifestyle is our four-year-old son.

"Both in terms of my desire to set a positive example for him, but also remain an active part of his life as we both grow older."

Tipping the scales at 13st 2lb, Mat focused on losing body fat and improving his fitness as well as losing weight.

In the past, the dieter ate foods high in protein but switched to eating whole foods with a LiveUP fitness plan.

"The biggest change in terms of my nutrition was the focus on eating a balanced diet based solely on whole foods," Mat added.

"Previously I had always prioritised protein above all other macronutrients and significantly under eating fresh fruit and vegetables."

DON'T MISS

By focusing on eating the whole foods and a balanced diet, Mat cut out the need to count calories.

He explained: "In addition historically when I have paid specific attention to my nutrition I have always closely counted my calories.

"However as the LiveUP Plan is designed to simplify achieving your fitness goals and educating you adopt sustainable habits.

"It eliminates the need for calorie counting and focuses on quantified serving sizes with the ultimate longer term goal of educating you how to visually determine your serving sizes without needing to measure them out."

High blood pressure is a common condition that affects more than a quarter of all adults in the UK. But, you could lower your risk of developing hypertension by regularly eating celery, it's been claimed.

High blood pressure - which is also known as hypertension - puts extra stress on blood vessels and vital organs.

The condition could lead to some deadly complications, including strokes and heart attacks.

It could be caused by eating an unhealthy diet, or by not doing enough exercise.

But adding more celery to your diet is one of the easiest ways to lower your blood pressure, it's been claimed.

"Celery and celery seed are often overlooked as health-promoting foods, but can help to lower a high blood pressure," she wrote on her website, MyLowerBloodPressure.

"With a high water content, celery stalks are low in calories and have a mild but distinctive flavour due to their unique antioxidant polyphenols.

"This flavour is more pronounced in celery leaves and celery seeds which are also used in Chinese medicine to treat both high blood pressure and stroke.

"Celery seed extracts are available in supplement form, sometimes combined with other beneficial blood pressure lowering herbs such as Montmorency cherry."

Meanwhile, you could also lower your blood pressure by regularly eating avocados, said the nutritionist.

They boost the amount of 'good' HDL cholesterol in the body, which significantly lowers the risk of a heart attack.

Avocados are also rich in vitamin E, potassium and essential fatty acids.

All of these contribute to a lower chance of developing hypertension, she said.

Sam told Billboard in 2017: "After the Oscars, I started going out too much, not respecting myself, drinking loads and smoking.

I wasn't looking after myself; I was going into a bit of a spiral. I'd lost contact with friends, with family. It wasn't good."

Sam has been facing criticism after being unfairly compared to Captain Tom, 99, who raised 18m for the NHS.

Trolls blasted the singer for opening up and his emotional difficulties in lockdown.

Most ignorant trolls also took the opportunity to misgender the singer, who uses the pronouns they and them.

One such unkind person said: "Sam Smith posted himself crying on social media for no ones gain but his own. Captain Tom has achieved the near impossible for nothing but to help the NHS. Captain Tom is still doing more for this country than someone who has the following to make a difference. Thats the point."

Another said: "In a world full of Sam Smith's, be Captain Tom."

But fans have urged thoughtless trolls to be kind.

One said: "Captain Tom is amazing, showing so much compassion for the NHS.. Maybe show a little for Sam Smith who clearly isnt coping too well like many of us. #BeKind"

Another said: "Whatever happened to #BeKind that everyone was preaching about last month?!?! Bunch of hypocritesFace with rolling eyes also Captain Tom Moore, you're doing brilliant sweetie. How about cheer him on instead of being a d*** and picking on others!!"

The singer always had a chicken avocado salad with no dressing for both meals, commenting that the other judges seemed to eat a lot of sushi.

He quipped that hes not quite so adventurous with what he eats. Im from the north of England, pal, he joked.

Eating a diverse and varied diet provides the best chance of boosting the immune system to fight Covid-19, according to a scientist.

Philip Calder, a professor of nutritional immunology at the University of Southampton, has produced a report advising the public to ensure they eat a mixed diet to help combat the virus.

His research also shows that supplements are a safe, effective and low cost way to support an optimal immune system.

A university spokesman said: A diet with a diverse and varied mixture of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and pulses, along with some meat, fish and dairy products provides the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients the immune system needs for optimal function.

Prof Calder said: The strength of somebodys immune systems will not influence whether they get coronavirus; handwashing and social distancing are the best ways to avoid that.

However, the immune system helps the body deal with the virus if they are infected and what we want is a system that functions properly when its challenged with bacteria and viruses.

The university spokesman added: Among the foods Professor Calder recommends are a variety of fruits and vegetables which are a good source of vitamins and minerals that are important for supporting the immune system.

Foods that are high in fibre are also important as some of the undigested fibre in the gut can promote the growth of good bacteria which interact with the immune system to make it work better.

The third recommendation is oily fish which is a source of omega 3 fatty acids that help to regulate and control the immune system.

Finally, meat is important as a good source of nutrients such as iron and vitamin B12, so people who do not eat meat should consider supplements.

Whilst consuming commercial probiotic products can have a role to play by seeding good bacteria in the gut Professor Calder recommends plant-based food and fibre as an alternative as these provide an environment to grow the good bacteria that are already in the large intestine.

Professor Calder added: The present situation with Covid-19 shows that we cannot just rely on vaccinations to limit the impact of respiratory infections.

Improving our nutrition is a very straightforward step that we can all take to help our bodies deal with infections and limit the emergence of new, more virulent strains of viruses.

We therefore strongly encourage public health officials to make sure nutritional strategies are included in all their messaging about coping with viral infections.

For many, the aging process has a way of slowing down the active lifestyle we grew up accustomed to living. This makes improving health an important issue for those in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and above. Many of us are facing role reversals by taking care of our precious parents who noticeably have slowed down because of their ages.

For many, the aging process has a way of slowing down the active lifestyle we grew up accustomed to living. This makes improving health an important issue for those in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and above. Many of us are facing role reversals by taking care of our precious parents who noticeably have slowed down because of their ages.

So whether we stay health and nutrition conscious for ourselves, parents, or kids, it is definitely an important time to take a serious look at it, move it to the top of the priority list, and continue to take proactive steps to improve it as we go through the next active 50-70 years of our lives.

Physical fitness and proper nutrition for the body is like getting a full tank of good gas, an oil change, and tune-up for a car engine. It enables us to perform up to our full potential. It gives us the ability to handle daily tasks vigorously and alertly, and still have enough energy left over for enjoying leisure activities that we love, as well as dealing with emergency situations in our lives that we hate. Improved fitness and nutrition provides our body and mind the support to withstand stress, to carry on in circumstances where an unfit person would no longer be able to continue. It is simply a major basic for good health and well-being.

Physical fitness involves the performance of the heart, lungs, and muscles. Keeping our bodies physically fit also has a major impact on blood flow to the brain, which can affect what we can do with our minds, mental alertness, and emotional stability. As we all know to well, life can bring challenges that require us to be healthy and strong to handle them positively!

Always start your fitness programs by first seeing a doctor! They can evaluate your current status, and provide vital advice to best suit you, and finally continue to monitor and check your progress later into the program. Most older people-even with disabilities-can take part in moderate exercise programs with guidance, and everyone can, and absolutely should include a solid nutrition program. People who exercise are also less likely to suffer from fractures and injury due to accidents. Exercise, proper nutrition, and hydration must become one of the things you do without question, just like bathing and brushing your teeth.

Another area of concern as we age is gaining weight around the belly. Not only is it unattractive weight, but it is very unhealthy. For every inch your waistline exceeds the size of your chest it increases the risk factors for life. As we age this task of increasing inches in the middle happens so effortlessly. This is not good because lack of exercise and a weak abdomen can interfere with proper functioning of the organs inside it, and from facilitating movements of the trunk and legs; the stomach muscles provide protection for the liver, kidneys, and pancreas.

Sitting gives stomach muscles little to do, and so they weaken. And because sitting gives the rest of our bodies little to do, we fatten. It is a vicious cycle: As our increasing waistline makes movement more difficult, movement begins to decrease, and less movement means fewer calories are burned. Fewer calories burned means more calories stored around the middle. So the answer is come on baby boomers, lets get ourselves and our families up and moving towards improved health now!

Patience is the key here. You cant gain in a few days or weeks what you have lost in years of aging, but you can get your flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance back if you slowly and consistently persevere as a way of life. This translates into an active and more vibrant quality of life for all of our living years! We can do this!

Until next week, please make it a healthy and nutritious day!
