Greeces Rural Development and Food inister, Spilios Livanos on Monday said that the ministrys main goal is to promote the Greek Diet brand.

Speaking to Skai TV, the minister said that the goal is to subsidise infrastructure, increase exports, train farmers and promote the Greek Diet brand.

He also spoke about the new EU Common Agricultural Policy, which will bring 19.7 billion to Greece, and stressed the need for judicious investment in infrastructure.

If we manage our investments in infrastructure soundly and increase production and exports, giving added value to our products, then we will have succeeded. If the money is spent on simple grants then we will have failed, as has been the case in previous decades. Our ally in this effort is the Recovery Fund, Livanos said.

Greece has the privilege of producing excellent products. These products must acquire an identity, they must acquire a branding as the Greek diet, he added.

Livanos noted that tourists can also be the best ambassadors of the healthy Greek diet.

The primary and secondary sector, which I have the honour to serve, is essentially the driving force for the Greek economy to start at another level. But it must be linked to tourism, culture and our health policy. If we succeed and create this new framework, internally and then externally, I believe in a few years we will work miracles.

He also pointed out the absence of a policy on oil and compared it with the successful policy on wine. Livanos expressed his optimism that within the next year there will be a policy for the exceptional quality of Greek oil, emphasising that we must connect the brand of Greek oil with the brand of the new Greece that is being built.

Flexibility is an important skill for getting along in today's ever-changing world and it may also be the key to maintaining a healthy, sustainable, earth-friendly diet. A recent survey found that while only 3% of American consumers consider themselves vegan and 5% vegetarian, a full 36% proudly identify as "flexitarian." The plant-leaning lifestyle seems to have hit a sweet spot for those who are intrigued by the benefits of going vegetarian (its better for the planet, better for your health, and, of course, kinder to the animals), but feel that saying goodbye forever to Grandma's meatballs or their favorite Thai restaurant's chicken satay is too much of a sacrifice.

And unlike other, more restrictive eating plays, the Flexitarian diet leaves room for customization so it can fit into any lifestyle. Intrigued? Here's what you need to know to get started.

The diet emphasizes plant-based foods most of the time, but also leaves wiggle room for the occasional meaty indulgence. This was inspired by my personal situation, explains Flexitarian nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner, R.D. As someone who has studied different ways people eat in the world, I know that eating a plant-based diet lowers your risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer, and I was like, 'Um, hi, I want that!' But Blatner still found herself grabbing a hot dog at a baseball game and eating turkey on Thanksgiving, making her feel like a bad vegetarian. And then I thought, 'this isnt a bad way of being a vegetarian, its a flexible way of being a vegetarian. Its vegetarian-ish,' she says with a laugh.

Blatner put together the words flexible and vegetarian, and created the mostly (but not entirely) plant-based plan, which she outlined in her 2009 book, The Flexitarian Diet: The Mostly Vegetarian Way to Lose Weight, Be Healthier, Prevent Disease, and Add Years to Your Life The diet focuses on foods such as beans, nuts, whole grains, and produce, but, as she says, "it's not anti-meat."

Story continues

Depending on your commitment, there is room for up to 28 ounces of lean meat or poultry per week though as you add more delicious vegetarian meals to your roster, you may drop down to just 3 ounces of meat up to three times a week. For weight loss, Blatner recommends you stick to a Flexitarian diet that provides around 1,500 calories per day.

In the decade since Blatner first introduced the Flexitarian diet, it has taken on a life of its on, with the word "flexitarian" even being added to the venerable Oxford English Dictionary in 2014. It has also consistently ranked near the top of U.S. News & World Reports best overall diets. Not only is the flexible and forgiving plan easy to follow, but it brings real results: A 2017 review found that people who follow a semi-vegetarian diet had lower body weight than those who regularly ate meat, as well as lower incidence of metabolic disease and lowered risk for type-II diabetes.

If you're interested in giving the diet a try, here's how to get started:

If you're a big-time meat eater and simply want to cut down, its easy to ease into the Flexitarian diet, says Blatner. I recommend three different levels of the diet: Beginner, Advanced, and Expert, she says.

Beginner: There are 21 meals a week you can start by having just 7 meatless meals a week. That simply means if you need to have bacon or ham with your breakfast, make your lunch or dinner meat-free that day.

Advanced: Aim for up to 14 meatless meals a week, which means you still get to eat your burger or turkey sandwich once a day.

Expert: At this level, youre only eating meat 6 or less times per week or going entirely meatless for weeks, only indulging on special occasions. Blatner suggests you save these for meaningful meat moments a family barbecue where everyone is enjoying burgers together, a holiday meal centered around a turkey or goose, a special dinner out at your partners favorite steakhouse. Another big meat moment is travel, says Blatner. There's no better way to experience a different culture then to taste their food, and this diet gives you room to enjoy it.

When you do eat meat, consider it a side dish instead of the main, says Blatner. "Instead of having a ginormous piece of meat as the center of the plate which is the traditional American style it should just be a quarter of the plate, with another quarter filled with whole grains, and then the remaining 50% vegetables."

There are a few kinds of meat that just cant be realistically replaced with plants (hello, T-bone steak). But a surprising number of meat-based dishes can be given an easy veggie makeover, says Blatner. If you love tacos, how about doing bean tacos? If you enjoy a chicken stir-fry, you can replace the chicken with edamame or tofu, she says, adding that for every 1 ounce of meat, you can swap in cup of beans. Blatner adds that although plant-based burgers such as Beyond and Impossible have the mouth feel and juiciness of a beef burger, she prefers to swap them out for burgers made with beans, which are lower in saturated fat and calories than the faux-meat ones.

Emphasizing that the Flexitarian diet is more about adding delicious new foods to your life than taking things away, Blatner is most enthusiastic about this step: This is where youre actually trying new recipes, and its where I feel people get some real eye-opening in their lives, she says. She suggests you try out one new vegetarian recipe each week. You can look them up on blogs, web sites, magazines, cookbooks, and right here. Not every recipe is going to be a keeper, but if you try 50 new ones in a year, and you love 10 of them, thats going to make it so much easier to cook vegetarian going forward.

Here are Blatners suggestions for your first three days of meals, with options for both meat and veggies:

Avocado Toast: sprouted whole grain toast, avocado, spinach, and egg

Kale Ranch Bowl: chicken or chickpeas, chopped kale/tomatoes, roasted sweet potato cubes, and ranch dressing

Tacos: seasoned white fish or lentils, corn tortillas, cabbage slaw, guacamole, and salsa

Peanut Butter Oatmeal: oatmeal, natural peanut butter, and chopped apple

Mexican Bowl: chicken or black beans, chopped romaine/peppers, brown rice, guacamole, and salsa

Mediterranean Plate: chicken or chickpeas, cucumber/tomato/feta salad, and lemon-dill brown rice

Green Belly Smoothie: 2% plain kefir, rolled oats, banana, and spinach

Asian Bowl: chicken or edamame, coleslaw mix, quinoa, and ginger dressing

Burger Night: beef or bean burger, sweet potato fries, and veggie dippers w/ ranch

ANN ARBOR, MI -- A2Zero Climate Action Plan is urging Ann Arbor residents to eat more plant-based meals to help the city go carbon neutral by 2030.

As part of the effort, the city held a virtual Sustainability Forum on Jan. 28 to showcase organizations promoting a plant-based diet. Some of the panelists came from Better Food Foundation, Project Grow and Ann Arbor Meals on Wheels. The forum was led by Zach Smith, community engagement specialist for sustainable development.

The Better Foundations program, called DefaultVeg, was formally introduced in Feb. 2020. It strives to refocus the current status quo from meat products to plant-based products. The food service provides plant-based meals by default, and instead gives their customers a choice to add meat or dairy upon request. By making plant-based options the default on a menu, it may nudge consumers towards a healthier option.

DefaultVeg preserves choice, no one is forced to have one diet or another. Theres always the choice to have the option that you want, said Trevor Leonard, program associate for Better Food Foundation.

Leonard spoke about a Harvard School of Public Health study that revealed the percentage of people who ate meat dropped 43 percent when an experimental group had their default meal changed from meat to vegetarian. The studies on their website also show that serving 1,000 plant-based meals can save 1,600 kilograms of carbon dioxide, which is equivalent to a car driving from Chicago to Paris, France.

How a vegan diet could fit into Ann Arbors carbon-neutrality plan

Ann Arbor Meals on Wheels (AAMOW) is also trying get residents to eat less meat. They are working on minimizing food waste by scheduling what days their clients want food, and try to offer seasonal specials by including food from local farms. One of their vendors participates in the Farm to Freeze program that freezes produce at the peak of ripeness, making healthy produce such as broccoli, cherries and blueberries accessible all year round.

As a result of their efforts, 94 percent of their clients say that they eat healthier and 97 percent say that AAMOW has helped them stay home, Director of Meals on Wheels Courtney Vanderlaan said, which has been especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the longest running community garden in the United States, Ann Arbors Project Grow has provided space and education for residents who are interested in growing their own organic vegetables since first starting back in 1972.

Project Grow farmers donated about 3,410 pounds of food to Food Gathers, an organization that works to alleviate hunger and eliminate its causes in the community, according to Joseph Schutte, Project Grow board member.

Having good, organic, fresh vegetables is not cheap, Schutte said. You can get it from the Farmers Market, its not cheap, but growing it yourself, you know exactly where it came from.

A University of Michigan study conducted by the Center for Sustainable Systems revealed that eliminating the transport of food for one year could save the greenhouse gas equivalent of driving 1,000 miles. The study also shows that shifting to having one vegetarian meal a day could also save the equivalent of driving 1,160 miles. As a result, growing vegetables near home and having at least one plant-based meal a day from a garden could help lower someones carbon footprint.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, limiting food waste can reduce the amount of methane released from landfills when these organic materials decompose. Eliminating food waste can contribute to at least 5 percent of the total greenhouse gas emission reduction.

The next Ann Arbor Sustainability Forum will be held on Feb. 24 from 6 to 8 p.m. on Urban Forestry & Green Infrastructure. Registration beforehand is required.

Your body needs some inflammation to fight infection and speed healing. But too much for too long can push your immune system to attack healthy organs and tissues. This can lead to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, arthritis and irritable bowel diseases.

A study published recently in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology suggests diets impact on heart health is partly related to inflammation. The study found that higher levels of inflammatory markers were associated with higher risks of cardiovascular disease. Our dietary choices can increase or decrease levels of these compounds.

To lower inflammatory markers, choose green, leafy vegetables; dark yellow vegetables; whole grains; fruits; tea; coffee and fish. Red meat, processed meats, refined carbohydrates and sweetened beverages were associated with higher pro-inflammatory markers.

Researchers found dietary patterns with higher inflammatory potential were associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.

The study only looked at women, but researchers said the results would likely apply to men as well.

How do you put this into practice? Plan your menu around foods such as tomatoes, blueberries, almonds, walnuts, lentils and salmon. Stock up on salad fixings.

Greens such as collards, broccoli, kale and spinach have antioxidants and other compounds that can help reduce inflammation and keep day-to-day damage to your cells to a minimum.

Spice your foods with turmeric, rosemary, cinnamon, cumin and ginger. Research has found they may slow down processes in your body that lead to inflammation.

Q: I used to meal prep, but now I work from home. Is it still a good idea to meal prep?

A: Prepping even a few staple items for the week can make healthy eating so much easier. As long as youre cooking, make a little more and freeze it or use it in another dish.

Even though many of us are working more from home, we still have work to do Zoom meetings, reports, helping with homework, laundry, etc. Meal prepping can help keep healthy eating plans on track.

Try batch-cooking chili or chicken tortilla soup, and freezing it in portions. You can prep quinoa ahead to add to salads later in the week. Its also helpful to cut up veggies in advance for a quick veggie tray or to use in a stir-fry. The more you do ahead, the easier it is to get dinner on the table.

The 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans continue to recommend at least two servings of fish a week. Heres a heart-healthy recipe, from Good Housekeeping, thats quick and full of protein and fiber. You can substitute any kind of fish you like.

1 cup couscous

New federal dietary guidelines encourage Americans to focus more on eating healthy throughout life, to be flexible in their eating patterns and to cut down on empty calories.

The recommendations released every five years by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services are designed to promote nutrition and prevent chronic disease.

The high prevalence of diabetes, cancer and heart disease could be reduced if people ate better, said Judith Wylie-Rosett, a professor of health promotion and nutrition research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. Chronic diseases are often related to obesity and poor nutritional habits.

Here are five important takeaways from nutrition experts:

The recommendations emphasize that healthy eating comes in many forms and can be adjusted to fit cultural traditions, personal tastes and different budgets.

Swapping out red meat, for example, doesnt mean people have to force down their least-favorite source of protein.

You can go with a plant-based diet or eat seafood, poultry and legumes rather than red meat, said Penny Kris-Etherton, a distinguished professor of nutrition at Pennsylvania State University in University Park.

The new focus on customization based on culture, budget and personal preference is a departure from the guidelines past one-size-fits-all approach to healthy eating.

For the first time, the guidelines say children under 2 should completely avoid foods and drinks with added sugars, such as cake, ice cream and fruit drinks.

But the guidance for added sugars otherwise remains unchanged, despite a report last summer from the dietary guidelines advisory committee that called for everyone ages 2 and older to cut consumption to 6% of daily calories, down from the currently recommended 10%.

Similarly, the guidelines stuck with previous advice on alcohol no more than two drinks per day for men and one for women in adults who choose to drink.

Sugar is often added to a variety of foods where you might not expect it, including bottled spaghetti sauce, ketchup, breads and cereals. Its important to read nutrition labels and select foods accordingly, Kris-Etherton said.

It

The guidelines for the first time outline recommendations by life stage, from birth through older adulthood. For example, babies should exclusively have breast milk for the first six months of life. If breastfeeding isnt an option, babies should be fed an iron-fortified infant formula.

In addition, the guidelines recognize that people 60 and older have slightly different nutritional needs. For instance, vitamin B12 deficiencies are more common in older people, so older adults are urged to eat the recommended amount of protein, a common source of B12, as well as B12-fortified foods.

Foods are not eaten in isolation but in a wide array of combinations over time a dietary pattern.

The idea, Wylie-Rosett said, is to eat a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables rather than focusing on specific nutrients. For example, beta carotene is a plant pigment and antioxidant found in carrots and other vegetables.

There are over 600 carotenoids, but the only one we talk about is beta carotene, she said. Weve created our nutrient guides to avoid deficiencies, (but) what we need to do is focus on optimal health.

To that end, the guidelines recommend people vary their source of protein, fill half their plate with a mix of different fruits and vegetables, select low-fat dairy or soy alternatives, and avoid foods high in sugar, saturated fat and sodium.

The theme of the 164-page guideline is to make every bite count. That means avoiding high-calorie junk foods such as potato chips, cookies and calorie-laden (and nutrient-poor) fast foods in favor of healthier options, Kris-Etherton said.

Think whole grains, fruits and vegetables; vegetable oils instead of butter or coconut oil; and low-fat dairy and leaner proteins.

When you fill up on all the right foods, you dont want the other foods, because youre full and satisfied, Kris-Etherton said.

And the benefits multiply, she said. People will likely sleep better, be less stressed and have more energy to exercise.

It just goes on and on, she said. Good nutrition really helps with overall well-being.

Fatigue is one of the most common adverse events of systemic therapy in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The aim of multicenter randomized phase 2 study was to determine the efficacy and safety of testosterone in patients with fatigue developed during targeted therapy.

Male patients with metastatic clear-cell RCC, normal prostate-specific antigen level, low testosterone level, and no evidence of hypothyroidism receiving first-line sunitinib or pazopanib with fatigue were randomly assigned (1:1) to either testosterone undecanoate (1000mg) and targeted therapy or targeted therapy alone. The primary endpoint was the mean change of fatigue from baseline to 28 days according to the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue scale. Secondary endpoints were safety, Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Kidney Symptom Index 19, testosterone serum concentrations, red blood cell count, and hemoglobin level.

Sixty patients were assigned to receive testosterone and targeted therapy (N=30) or targeted therapy alone (N=30). As of the data cutoff on December 30, 2019, median follow-up was 18.2 months. The study achieved its primary endpoint based on the significant differences at day 28 favoring testosterone over targeted therapy alone regarding the decreased level of fatigue (difference between groups, 22.5 points; 95% confidence interval, 18.4-26.6; P=0.012). Significant changes in scores demonstrating the enhanced quality of life with testosterone compared with targeted therapy were also observed for Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Kidney Symptom Index 19 disease-related symptoms (P=0.01). There were nonsignificant differences in red blood cell count and hemoglobin level between the 2 groups (all P>0.05).

Male patients with metastatic RCC and hypogonadism receiving testosterone had less fatigue and better symptom control during targeted therapy.

Objective: Obesity and metabolic syndrome have been reported to exert an impact on the male reproductive system with decreasing levels of serum total testosterone (TT); however, the effect of different metabolic obesity phenotypes on testosterone has been poorly studied. We aimed to evaluate the association of metabolic obesity phenotypes and total testosterone levels in a Chinese male population.Methods: We performed a retrospective study based on an epidemiological investigation, a total of 4,081 male individuals aged from 40 75 years old were recruited. The population was classified as metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW), metabolically healthy overweight/obese (MHO), metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW), and metabolically unhealthy overweight/obese (MUO) according to normal weight (BMI< 25.0) and overweight/obesity (BMI 25.0) with or without metabolic syndrome.Results: We collected 563 hypotestosteronemia among 4,081 male individuals. The odds ratios (ORs) (95% CIs) of hypotestosteronemia in obesity and metabolic syndrome were 3.072 (2.414 3.911) and 3.294 (2.631 4.125), respectively, after adjusting for age, luteinizing hormone, smoking status, and alcohol consumption. Compared to the MHNW group, male subjects in MHO, MUNW, and MUO groups had decreased serum TT levels. Additionally, the MUO group had a lowest concentration of serum TT and a highest proportion of hypotestosteronemia. There was no significant difference of TT levels between the MHO and MUNW groups.Conclusion: Obesity and metabolic syndrome are independent risk factors of hypotestosteronemia in Chinese male populations. Our study also suggested that individuals with MHO, MUNW, and MUO have a higher risk of developing hypotestosteronemia.

RALEIGH, N.C., Jan. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marius Pharmaceuticals, a specialty pharmaceutical company focusing on treating conditions that are primarily associated with testosterone deficiency, today announced that it has appointed Himanshu H. Shah and Shalin Shah as co-CEOs to drive the next phase of growth as the company looks to a potential launch of KYZATREX in Q4 2021 and further the development of Marius deep clinical pipeline.

Himanshu H. Shah brings over 30 years of experience across global capital markets and will continue his role as chairman of the board in addition to co-CEO. He has advised numerous public and private companies over the past decades to help them unlock substantial shareholder value and execute both innovative and pragmatic business strategies.

I am proud to continue serving Marius and work on developing the best treatment options for men with hypogonadism, a common but not widely discussed disease among patients and prescribers, said Himanshu H. Shah, chairman and co-CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals. Misconceptions about hypogonadism are having a huge impact on the health of millions of men globally and costing the U.S. healthcare system alone billions of dollars annually. There is a huge opportunity for Marius to address these issues and drastically alter the testosterone therapy landscape.

Shalin Shah will also step into the role of co-CEO from chief financial officer and executive vice president of strategy for Marius. Shalin has been integral in driving overall strategy at Marius for the past four years and will oversee the growth of the team and execution of innovative models as it expands both clinically and commercially to become a leading pharmaceutical company.

I am excited for the opportunity to serve Marius in this new capacity, especially at a time when the world is seeing technology and healthcare intersect more than ever, truly helping patients, said Shalin Shah, co-CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals. I am confident in Marius mission to better the lives of patients by ensuring adequate levels of testosterone and enhance patient care through disruptive technologies and personalization.

Om Dhingra, Ph.D., led the company from initial development of the lead compound through two successful Phase 3 clinical trials and will move into the role of vice chairman. He will help guide the companys clinical development plan and ensure KYZATREX and its differentiating safety and efficacy data is well known in the medical world.

It has been my great pleasure serving the company as CEO. I am very proud of the data we have generated, which we believe will position KYZATREX as the standard of care for patients suffering from hypogonadism globally, said Dr. Om Dhingra, vice chairman of Marius Pharmaceuticals.

If approved by the FDA, KYZATREX has the potential to become the new standard of care for treating patients with hypogonadism. Testosterone is a crucial hormone that is essential to sexual and reproductive health, but also has important functions in metabolic, inflammatory, cardiovascular and neurological health. In the U.S. there are at least six million symptomatic men suffering from hypogonadism, and over 100 million men globally. The resulting medical costs associated with men with untreated hypogonadism and related comorbidities are more than $25 billion in the U.S. alone. Current treatments on the market are dominated by therapies with unappealing administration methods, including auto-injections, in-office infusions and topical gels and creams that have a high transference risk. KYZATREX is an orally administered treatment that avoids the drawbacks that keep men from continuing treatment on available testosterone therapies.

About KYZATREX KYZATREX if approved, will represent a novel oral testosterone replacement therapy option for adult males indicated for conditions associated with a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone: primary hypogonadism (congenital or acquired) and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (congenital or acquired).

The ReTUNE study was a multi-center, 12-month study across the U.S. that studied the safety and efficacy of KYZATREX in hypogonadal subjects (total testosterone 281 ng/dL). Efficacy was determined by number of subjects in the normal, eugonadal range after 90 days of treatment, including dose titrations, while safety was monitored for a further 9 months while on a steady dose. In addition to testosterone parameters, the study collected Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs), which showed statistically significant results both from baseline and against its comparator. A pivotal six-month Phase 3 study was conducted, in which subjects were monitored using ABPM, now considered the standard BP assessment by the FDA and clinical experts. An improved dose regimen was also used in the pivotal six-month Phase 3 study. The results of the Phase 3 studies will be published in leading medical journals and presented at national conferences in 2021.

The FDA has conditionally accepted KYZATREX as the trade name for this investigational drug. The safety and efficacy have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.

About Marius PharmaceuticalsMarius is a specialty pharmaceutical company focusing on treating conditions that are primarily associated with hypogonadism, commonly referred to as testosterone deficiency. The companys mission is to improve the functional lives of patients and reduce the risks of the downstream effects of endocrine imbalance by ensuring appropriate level of testosterone.
