Wolfing down a mountain of fruit and vegetables every day offers no more benefit in staving off death than eating just three to four portions, researchers have found, adding that the findings could have important ramifications for those on low incomes.

The World Health Organisation currently recommends individuals eat at least 400g of fruit, vegetables and legumes plants such as peas and beans each day, although recent studies have suggested as much as 800g should be consumed to reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease and premature death.

But the latest study, drawing on data from more than 135,000 participants all over the world, has revealed that eating as little as 375g can be sufficient a quantity corresponding to three 125g portions as by measured by the US Department of Agriculture, or just under five portions judging by the WHO definition of 80g each.

The researchers say the findings could prove valuable for those from low or middle-income countries where fruits and vegetables are expensive, noting that the extra quantity needed to meet WHO targets can put a substantial strain on individuals finances.

That 25g [difference] is about 2% of total household income in low-income countries, said Victoria Miller, first author of the research from McMaster University in Canada.

However, she added that doesnt mean we should stop striving for a diet high in fruit and veg.

In western countries like North America and Europe we dont want to suggest that [people] should start eating less fruit and vegetables we think that it is part of an overall healthy diet and there is benefit from eating more.

Writing in the Lancet, the international team of researchers describe how they recruited participants over a 10-year period from 2003. All were free of cardiovascular disease and were aged between 35 and 70 years old, with their locations spanning 18 countries including the west, the Middle East, China, Africa and south-east Asia, where little data has previously been collected.

When enrolled, participants were quizzed on their frequency of eating various foods, including region-specific dishes, allowing the researchers to determine the quantity of fruits and vegetables and corresponding nutrients eaten each day. Fruit juices, as well as potatoes and other tubers including cassava, were excluded.

The participants were followed for between 5.5 and 9.3 years, with their health tracked at least every three years.

Taking into account a host of factors including participants age, sex, education, smoking status and physical activity, the results reveal that eating a combination of fruit, vegetables and legumes helps lower the risk of dying from non-cardiovascular diseases such as cancer, as well as the overall risk of death. Fruit consumption alone was also linked to a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular death.

But the team found the greatest impact was for those who ate between 375g and 500g a day, with a reduction in overall risk of death by 22% compared with those who ate less than 125g a day. No further reduction in risk was seen when even more fruits and vegetables were eaten.

The team say the findings chime with those from the study that suggested eating 10 portions of fruit and veg a day, pointing out that study found that beyond eating about 400g a day, only modest addition health gains were observed.

While the researchers admit the study had its limitations, not least that participants were only asked once about their fruit, vegetable and legume eating and that different methods for cooking vegetables werent taken into account, they say the study could prove valuable to those living in low-income countries or on a tight budget.

Even a small reduction from 400g to 375g a day may have important implications on household spending and food security in poorer countries, the authors note.

Writing in an accompanying editorial, Estefania Toledo and Miguel ngel Martnez-Gonzlez from the University of Navarra welcomed the research but said that it was important to consider fruit and vegetables as part of a wider diet.

Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables should be at the expense of reducing other foods and drinks, such as sugar-sweetened beverages, red and processed meats, saturated and trans fat, refined cereals, and sugar-rich desserts, they write, not in isolation or as a mere addition to the rest of the dietary pattern.

What it is: Otherwise known as the caveman diet, Paleo is a popular diet plan in which followers eat only foods that our hunter-gatherer ancestors would have consumed. Founder Loren Cordain, Ph.D., says that because Paleo is more in line with what our genetic ancestors ate, the lifestyle helps people minimize their risk of diseases and lose weight. A Paleo diet is rich in meats, fruits, vegetables, seafood, and nutsbut low in grains; dairy; added salt; and legumes such as peanuts, beans, lentils, and soybeans. (Want to know more? Check out our beginner's guide to going Paleo.)

What that means for your skin: Lets just say theres a reason many beauty supplements contain protein-rich formulas: Proteins are essential for healthy skin. [They] are broken down into amino acids, which are the building blocks for all of the proteins found in the skin, hair, and nails, as well as in the rest of the body, explains Hadley King, M.D., dermatologist at SKINNEY Medspa in New York City. So just as protein is the key to building muscle, its also necessary for building up collagen for healthy, elastic, strong skin.

But protein isnt the only dietary staple a Paleo-rich diet can provide. Sufficient healthy fats are necessary for the barrier function of our skin, King says. Translation: Healthy fats from foods such as olive oil and avocados can help your skin stay hydrated and protected from the elements.

Of course, one thing to keep in mind when you're eating a protein-rich diet is the type of meat. Theres still some concern around hormone-treated poultry, explains S. Manjula Jegasothy, M.D., CEO and founder of Miami Skin Institute. Foods that are high in exogenous [external] hormones, such as those extra-large, nonorganic chicken breasts and other animal proteins that have been treated with hormones on the farm, have been linked to higher overall cortisol levels, she says. Higher cortisol levels can mean higher testosterone and estrogen or progesterone levels, which potentially lead to acne, she explains.

Ultimately though, as long as your dietary restrictions dont result in a deficiency of any particular vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients, then following a Paleo diet will actually be good for your skin, King says, adding that avoiding added salt might also lead to decreased puffiness (a.k.a. no under-eye bags from that late night out).

Welcome to How I Got This Body, our look at some of the amazing things the human body is capable of and the Washingtonians who put their bodies to the test. Want to share your transformation story? Email ccunningham@washingtonian.com.

Who I am:Kristi Cook, 27, a healthcare management consultant from Arlington

How I transformed:Ive lost somewhere between 30 to 40 pounds since 2009, and about ten of those pounds were lost within the past two years. Most people would say thats a pretty low number over such a long period of time, but Ive built a good amount of muscle in the process. However, the most significant change for me has been my shift from fad diets and sporadic exercise routines, to consistency in working out and eating healthy, wholesome foods.

What inspired my change: Most of my teenage years and early-to-mid 20s were comprised of the vicious diet/binge cycle. For weeks or months, I would try out a new fad diet to only give up a short while later and begin eating everything in sight. Throughout middle and high school I was a multiple sport athlete and therefore very active, but following high school, I exercised very infrequently. In the fall of 2015, I came across fitness trainer Kayla Itsines account while scrolling through Instagram and learned about her BBG (Bikini Body Guide) program. After learning more about her focus on the mental side of fitness and health and discovering the BBG community, I became inspired to make a long-lasting change.

My exercise plan:Almost two years ago I started the BBG (Bikini Body Guide) program, which revolves around three 28-minute resistance (or HIIT) workouts a week. It also incorporates three to four low intensity workouts per week, which can be any 35 to 45 minute low-impact exercise of your choiceeven something as simple as going for a walk. I used the BBG guides for about a year and a half, and have since tried to mix it up by taking cycling classes at Flywheel, weight lifting, andgoing on walks/jogs. Once in a while I like to throw some yoga and dance fitness into the mix as well. Ive realized that its so important to find a type of exercise that you enjoy, otherwise, it may not be sustainable. On average, I exercise five to six days a week; I like to get my workouts done in the morning before work, so that way I can never say that I have no time or that something more important came up.'

My healthy eating plan:The biggest change Ive made has been adopting more of a paleo lifestyle by eating less processed foods and instead eating more fresh fruits and veggies, protein, and healthy fats. However, I have to confess that I dont stick to the paleo diet 100 percent, and I havent banned a single food from my diet. If Im truly craving a treat, I will have it in a small portion. In the past, Ive found that completely restricting a particular food/food group altogether leads to binges later down the road (at least for me).Another big change to my diet was switching out Diet Coke for seltzer water (black cherry is the best!), though I do admit to having a Diet Coke once every few months if Im truly craving it. I know this sounds incredibly clich, but its important to have balance.

I like to get my workouts done in the morning before work, so that way I can never say that I have no time or that something more important came up.

How I stuck to my goals:Almost two years ago, I found the BBG community (on Instagram) as my source of inspiration to get me started. Several months after making a fitness account of my own, I ended up meeting some of the girls in real life. We quickly became friends and to this day we continue to get together for workout classes or just for fun! Ive come to understand the importance of surrounding yourself with people who have health and fitness goals similar to your own. Ever since making a lifestyle change and being consistent with my meal prepping and fitness routine, it has become second nature to maintain a (mostly) healthy lifestyle and continue reaching my goals.

How my feelings about myself have changed:Before making a lifestyle change, I would often become upset because I didnt feel comfortable with the way I looked or how I felt in certain clothes. I wont lie and say I never feel that way anymore, but those feelings are now few and far between. After becoming consistent with my health and fitness routine, I quickly noticed improvement in both my mental and physical state, energy levels, and overall happiness.

One piece of advice: My biggest piece of advice would be to ensure consistency! Meal prepping is a great way to make sure youre not making impulse decisions when it comes to food. As for your exercise routine, try to find something that you enjoy so that it doesnt feel like a chore. If you get bored easily, you should switch up your workouts from time to timejust make sure you remain consistent in doing something that works for you.

Question:

What if my spouse wants me to go on a diet with him, but he is the one with a weight problem and I dont feel the need to change my eating habits?

First, I would encourage you to think about why your husband may want you to be on the diet with him. I am guessing it is likely because he may want support. It is difficult to change eating habits when there are tempting sugary or fatty foods in the house so it is often easier for a person to make lasting changes when the whole family agrees to make changes as well. That being said, it is not necessarily fair to ask you to adhere to a diet if you do not want to participate. I would suggest doing the following to further explore this issue with your husband.

Fonterra general manager of national transport and logistics Barry McColl said the company would try to get drivers to lose weight so they could get back on the roads, or they could change their roles in the company.

Fonterra truck drivers are being told they are at risk behind the wheel because of their weight.

Drivers who weigh more than150kgs were told this weekto step down from driving in light of revelations seats could not accommodate their weight safely.

A "health and wellness" programme was being tailored to those who wished to continue driving.

Marion Van Dijk

Fonterra trucks have always been risky for heavier drivers, management has discovered.

Fonterra general manager of national transport logistics Barry McColl said discussions with manufacturers about getting larger seatbeltsin trucks revealed there was a "risk safety features would not perform to the design standard" if drivers were above 150kgin some trucks and 140kgin others.

McColl said about 50 drivers were in the "150kg-plus range".

Truck seatbelts are mounted to the seat instead of the vehicle frame, asthey are in cars, which increased the possibility they could detach in the event of an accident, he said.

It also increased the risk a seat could deform or detach in an accident, he said.

The two models of trucks that are used to carry milk tankers for the company areScaniaand Volvo brands.

McCollsaid the weight limit onScaniatrucks was 140kg, and 150kg in Volvo brand trucks.

McColl said individual conversations were had with truck drivers to work on a health management plan and assign them "alternative duties" until they could meet a safe weight.

"First and foremost protect the employee and work to get them to a point where they can be back on the road, or if that's not possible we'll reassign them work packing or processing and there is potential to upskill them within those roles."

McColl said there was no intention that the drivers would be "parting company".

"It's a very delicate conversation to have...from a safety point of view you can't put them in a situation where they are at a higher level of risk than other drivers."

McColl said Fonterra was working with the Dairy Workers Union to partner with drivers on wellness plans and do a country-wide roll out of those in the next couple of weeks.

Employment lawyer Max Whitehead said he first heard about the policyfrom a colleague of an affected truck driver who weighed 150kgand had worked for the company for seven years.

Whitehead said Fonterra was "directing its New Zealand managers to blatantly discriminate" and the policy was "grossly unfair and in breach of New Zealand law".

McColl denied that it was a case of discrimination, and said it was "purely and simply you are putting them in an unsafe situation if they were to get in an accident".

A Fonterra spokesman said that Whitehead had not contacted the company.

The proliferation of Fitbits, sleep trackers, and dieting apps have made it possible for us to closely track and measure just about all things wellnessand to share the results on social media. The outcome is that many of us take for granted the idea that we should strive to be the best, healthiest version of ourselves, while outdoing everyone else.

But this is the wrong mindset. If you want to achieve your health goals, you shouldnt focus on being the best. You should focus on being the best at getting better.

I learned this firsthand through my experience with running. When I began pounding the pavement about 10 years ago, all I wanted was to finish a half-marathon. But I quickly realized that if I wanted to be a lifelong runner, this specific goal set me up for failure. If I finished the race, I had no other athletic goals to work toward, so I might well stop running entirely. And if I failed to finish the race, Id feel dejectedand more likely to quit.

So I shifted my mindset and sought simply to become a better runnerthat is, to get faster, run longer, and enjoy the act of running itself. Thanks to this shift in mindset, Ive finished countless half marathons and marathons. I havent always achieved my more specific goals; for example, I wanted to complete my last marathon within three hours, and I was five minutes over. But I have become a much better runner, learning from each race and incorporating those lessons into future competitions.

The same logic applies to areas beyond diet and exercisewhether our goals involve parenting, relationships, careers, or our creative ambitions. Research shows that the problem with focusing too much on end results and big goals is that theyre too black and white: you either achieve the goal or you dont. If you do achieve them, then its all too easy to get carried away basking in the glory. Youre liable to become complacent and next thing you know, youve already fallen behind your competition. If you fail to achieve your big goals, however, then the opposite holds true: youre likely to become sad, lose motivation, and in the worst-case scenario, burn out and quit whatever it is you were doing altogether.

Psychologists call this mindset obsessive passionwhen a persons drive is fueled not by how much they enjoy a given activity, but by external results, recognition, and rewards. Obsessive passion is linked to anxiety, cheating, depression, and burnout.

And so when you are working toward a goal, your best bet is to concern yourself less with a specific resultsay, losing 10 poundsand more with the process of getting better at healthy eating and exercise. In this way, youll become resilient to both success and failure.

Nearly all of the people I encountered in my research for my book, Peak Performance: Elevate Your Game, Avoid Burnout, and Thrive with the New Science of Success, embodied this mindset. Here are a few steps you can take to embody it too.

Select a specific capacity or area of your life in which you want to grow. For example, perhaps you want to cook more meals at home. Be intentional and specific. Remember that its really hard to take on too many challenges at once.

Assess where you currently stand. Be honest in your self-evaluation. Perhaps even ask trusted friends or advisors who you know will give you a truthful answer.

Ask yourself: Whats the next logical step? A common trap is to take on too much too soonfor example, drastically cutting calories, and ramping up exercise, and sleeping two more hours per night all at once. Dont fall for it. Remember that small progress in the short term leads to big progress in the long term.

Focus on nailing whatever incremental objective you came up with. Once youve done just that, ask yourself what the next logical step is, and then go about nailing that. For instance, perhaps youve been consistent with four 30-minute workouts per week. Now you could consider upping that to five, or perhaps increasing the duration to 40 or 45 minutes. Or, if youre a writer, maybe youve kept a high-quality blog for six months and gained a readership. Now is the time to try pitching a smaller magazine. Its this sort of upward spiral that youre after.

Avoid comparing yourself to others. Doing so only leads to insecurity, which makes you either sad or reckless (or sometimes both).

When you do progress through waypoints that have measurable results, abide by the 48-hour rule. Give yourself up to 48 hours to feel happy or sad, but then return to your efforts. Theres something magical about doing the work itself that puts both success and failure in their respective places.

Regularly remind yourself that your goal is to get better for the sake of getting better, and that this goal knows no end. Pursue progress for your own sakenot for some type of external validation.

Anybody can fly at Atherial. The wellness studio located at 39th Avenue and Fox Street offers aerial fitness and yoga thats accessible to every body.

Our invite is that were open to everyone and all bodies to get in the silks and give it a try, says Atherial co-owner and lead instructor Reba Melandra.

The studios classes are broken into three categories: Atherial Sweat, Atherial Flow and Atherial Breathe. While some people feel right at home at the barre or in the high-intensity courses taught during Atherial Sweat, others find peace in the restorative classes of Atherial Breathe. And while yogis take to the air during Atherial Flow, another group of frequent flyers have found comfort in the silks, as well.

In line with Atherials yoga for every body mission, Volo Adapt was created in conjunction with physical therapist Sara Schaffer as an adaption of the signature Volo Restore program, specifically for anyone with mobility restrictions. The program was designed to improve overall strength and flexibility and strengthen the mind-body connection.

Relaxing into the silks.

Atherial

As a physical therapist by trade, Im always looking for ways to create space, Schaffer says. I was starting to take aerial classes myself and get certified when I created the Adapt program five months ago. Schaffer has seen tremendous benefits come from the Volo Adapt class, including spinal cord decompression, improvement in mood, and strengthening of joint mobility and flexibility.

You think aerial fitness, and its only something able-bodied people can do, but its just not the case at Atherial, says Tricia Downing, who was confined to a wheelchair when she started working with Schaffer to help customize Volo Adapt as it relates to challenged athletes. She tested out moves, provided feedback and reached out to her network. We went to Atherial together one day and learned about aerial yoga, how to keep it safe, and once we started working with the silks, we started thinking about what body movements we could incorporate into the program," Downing says. "Its been really remarkable to realize how much good stretching can do.

Volo Adapt improves overall strength and flexibility.

Atherial

Suffering from chronic pain, Downing had been trying different exercises over the years, searching for a way to bring back natural movement to her body. All of my waking moments as long as Im doing something are in my chair, Downing explains. After ten to twelve hours of that every day, your body starts to cave in on itself and it deteriorates in that position. I have so much more freedom and Im totally out of my chair with Adapt.

After Volo Adapt classes, people often tell her they feel free and light, Melandra says. Sarah Schaffer, our in-house physical therapist and lead teacher for Adapt, understands the body, understands movement transfers. With her guidance, we are getting participants out of their chairs and empowering them.

Strengthening the mind-body connection with Volo Adapt.

Atherial

But Adapt isnt just for those with spinal cord injuries. "Adapt just means to change to the circumstances, Downing says. This class and this studio are very inclusive. Atherial is open to everyone, any kind of shape or any kind of weight movement. Both owners, Reba and Bre, are really open-minded women who want everyone to have a place in their yoga studio. Not every fitness professional has that open of a mind, but at Atherial, they say they can make this work for anybody.

And every body. For a full schedule of Volo Adapt classes and other Atherial offerings, visit Atherial Fitness.com.

Are you determined to start exercising again, but worried about the risks?

The French Federation of Cardiologists has issued recommendations for people of all ages and all levels of fitness that shed light on some common myths about getting back to an exercise regimen.

True. Preferably you should get a comprehensive check-up before resuming sporting activity.

However, this recommendation is not quite as important for people aged under 40 with no history of cardiovascular illness as it is for men aged over 45 and women aged over 50, for whom this step is essential.

I can still exercise if I have a fever.

False. If you are running a temperature, you should stay home and rest.

You should also refrain from exercise for a week after recovering from a flu virus.

True. You should stop to drink water at least once every 30 minutes during an exercise session.

Three or four mouthfuls of water at a time is enough to efficiently hydrate the body and to prevent sore muscles.

Have a sip of water every half hour to prevent dehydration and muscle soreness.

False. Obviously, you shouldnt smoke if you want to stay in good health.

But it is even more important to avoid smoking for two hours both before and after sports or training sessions.

True and false. When your heartbeat speeds up, it is normal to feel out of breath, which is why we tend to breathe more deeply when exercising.

However, an exceptional shortness of breath at any time is a real cause for concern and should be checked out, as should chest pain or palpitations.

Normal heart rate during intense exercise should not exceed 220 beats per minute. AFP Relaxnews

Detroit, MI, Aug. 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The DASH Diet was created as a way to lower blood pressure and hypertension risks via a low-sodium diet. DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension and it is highly beneficial for a percentage of the population who have sodium related hypertension. While the DASH diet can indeed address hypertension brought on by their diets (approximately 25 percent), Dr. Nishant Rao, Medical Director of Diet Doc cautions that certain forms of hypertension are completely unrelated to sodium intake, and for these people the Dash diet makes little difference.

Generally, the avoidance of processed foods is a sound recommendation. However, Dr. Rao explains that the principles of the DASH diet may still be largely incomplete when it comes to weight loss (a critical component in reducing blood pressure) and overall health. The guidelines on specific macronutrient intake are missing, states Dr. Rao. Being that it was created for hypertension, the primary purpose of this diet is not weight management, yet those who use lower calorie versions of the DASH diet would lose weight, but those same rules would apply to doing any low-calorie diet.

As far as other popular diets are concerned, people who follow low-carb diets for weight loss may actually see their sodium intake rise, along with the other electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium due to the effect of the kidneys wasting electrolytes more rapidly while in ketosis. In fact, ones sodium intake may be higher on a lower carb diet than a high carb diet. Nevertheless, Diet Doc wants consumers to keep in mind that if weight loss is their primary goal, The Dash Diet can be helpful for the 25 percent of the population who have sodium sensitive hypertension but it wont necessarily be beneficial for fat loss.

For combined benefits that will stimulate rapid weight loss and provide improved cardiovascular health, Diet Doc Medical Weight Loss offers doctor-supervised diet planning that is tailored to suit the weight loss needs of each patient.
