The many and varied sumptuous foods available are a major part of the Jamaican Christmas.

However, due to dietary restrictions, some persons are unable to partake of these feasts during the season.

Persons with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) diabetes, hypertension, and cancer must adhere to dietary restrictions while enjoying their favourite Christmas treats to strike a balance in their diet.

Nutritionist and Senior Lecturer/Head of the School of Allied Health and Wellness, College of Health Sciences, University of Technology, Jamaica, Dr Vanessa White-Barrow, toldJIS News that preparing healthy and creative substitutes to Christmas classics cured ham/turkey, gungo peas and pumpkin soup, plum pudding and sorrel will ensure that persons can enjoy meals without negative consequences.

The dietary restrictions, particularly for persons with NCDs, are very important, especially at Christmastime, because they do not want their condition to worsen, nor can they allow their condition to progress to the stage where the other body organs are affected, she said.

To safeguard against this, White-Barrow says recipes for traditional Jamaican Christmas feasts can be modified for safe consumption by persons who must adhere to a strict diet.

She recommended the use of lean meats (chicken breast, curry goat, and fish) that can be used in place of cured meats, such as ham, which contain high levels of nitrites and nitrates which can worsen NCDs such as cancer.

The nutritionist also recommends desalting ham before baking or roasting to reduce sodium levels.

She also suggests adding a variety of herbs and spices as substitutes for salt to make meals flavourful.

You can also use things like lemon juice, the unsalted onion and garlic powders, pepper, curry, oregano, and thyme, instead of salt, White-Barrow advises.

White-Barrow urges persons to read food labels to control calorie intake, as well as to select low-fat options when grocery shopping. She also reminds persons to trim fat from meats in meal preparations.

As for the traditional beverage of the season, sorrel, she encourages Jamaicans to indulge in the antioxidant-rich drink and use minimum sugar in preparation, allowing the natural flavour of the plant to come through.

Other recommendations to keep these chronic conditions under control throughout the holiday period are increased intake of fresh fruits, vegetables, and fibre, as well as reducing the use of table salt in meal preparations.

She implores persons to resist the urge to overeat in order to reduce calorie intake.

Eat and drink in moderation and limit alcohol intake, White-Barrow advises.

She emphasises that persons must continue to take their medications and to follow their regular exercise routine.

People with gastrointestinal (GI) disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) often have trouble digesting certain kinds of carbohydrates, which causes a lot of uncomfortable symptoms like bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation.

In the early 2000s, researchers began looking for ways to describe these carbohydrates: Enter FODMAPs, short for fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, and monosaccharides, and polyols.

"A low FODMAP diet is really only something that needs to be tried if someone has gastrointestinal symptoms," says Jesse Houghton, MD, senior medical director of gastroenterology at SOMC Gastroenterology Associates. "Or if someone has IBS, celiac, food allergies. If a person is not experiencing any frequent bloating, flatulence, diarrhea or discomfort, a low FODMAP diet is not necessary.

After that, they start slowly reintroducing foods back into their diet one at a time. That way, they can identify which foods trigger their GI symptoms so that they can avoid those foods in the future.

Below are the main FODMAP carbs to avoid:

Fructose: Foods high in fructose include many processed foods that contain high-fructose corn syrup including sodas and candies. But you can also find relatively high amounts of fructose in certain fruits like apples, watermelon, dried fruits, and more.

Lactose: Lactose is a sugar that you can find in most dairy products including milk, cheese (though older, harder cheeses contain little lactose), yogurt, and ice cream. However, it can also turn up in unexpected places including bread, donuts, cookies, processed meats, salad dressings, and more. Check the nutrition label to be sure.

Mannitol: Mannitol occurs naturally in pumpkin, seaweed, celery and mushrooms. But many liquid medications like liquid gel capsules and cough medicines can also contain it.

Galactooligosaccharides: Beans, lentils and other legumes can contain high levels of galactooligosaccharides.

With all of these restrictions, it's hard to figure out what you should eat.

That's because eliminating high FODMAP foods from your diet comes with some risk. Turns out, your body needs these fermentable carbs to feed the good bacteria in your gut. Eliminating all FODMAP-containing foods could starve those bacteria, explains Shawn Talbott, a nutrition and biochemistry expert.

"When those bacteria are at suboptimal levels, we see increases in inflammation, stress, depression and other problems," Talbott says.

The low FODMAP diet "is a short-term elimination diet," says Pierce. "This is not a sustainable long-term diet."

If, however, you find that you need to eliminate the bulk of high FODMAP foods, you should consult a registered dietitian about any key nutrients you might be missing and how to balance your diet so you're still getting enough nutrients.

Consult your physician before starting this diet to make sure it'll work for your personal health needs.

TUESDAY, Dec. 22, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Increased dietary advanced glycation end-product (AGE) intake is associated with wheezing symptoms in children, including wheeze-disrupted sleep and exercise, according to a study published online Dec. 21 in Thorax.

Jing Gennie Wang, M.D., from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, and colleagues examined 4,388 children from the 2003 to 2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to examine associations between dietary AGE and meat consumption frequencies and respiratory symptoms.

The researchers observed significant associations between higher AGE intake and increased odds of wheezing, wheeze-disrupted sleep and exercise, and wheezing requiring prescription medication (adjusted odds ratios, 1.18, 1.26, 1.34, and 1.35 respectively). There were correlations noted for higher intake of nonseafood meats with wheeze-disrupted sleep and wheezing requiring prescription medication (adjusted odds ratios, 2.32 and 2.23, respectively).

"Although we are far from having enough evidence to recommend changes in meat consumption in children in order to reduce asthma, a focus on adverse respiratory effects of consuming large amounts of cooked meats resonates with wider agendas," writes the author of an accompanying editorial. "Irrespective of the adverse health effects of AGEs, it may therefore now be time to advocate a diet with smaller amounts of higher-quality and more sustainable cooked meat."

One author disclosed financial ties to the biopharmaceutical industry.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Asia-Pacific Flavored Milk Market - Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2020 - 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Asia-Pacific flavored milk market is projected to register a CAGR of 2.23% during the forecast period (2020 - 2025).

Key Market Trends

Plant-based Diet is Gaining Popularity in the Region

Asia dominates the vegetarian market. There is a rising vegan population in Asia, in countries like Australia, which is among the fastest-growing vegan countries, globally, along with China. In addition, there is a high prevalence of lactose malabsorption in Southeast Asian countries compared to other parts of the world. This has led to a large segment of consumers opting for dairy alternatives that are free from lactose, hence, boosting the sales of the market. Developed markets in regions, such as Japan, have introduced certifications for dairy alternative ingredients. Foods for specified health use (FOSHU) are functional foods containing ingredients approved by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Japan helps to promote health or control conditions, such as blood sugar and dental hygiene. Japanese are increasingly substituting these with dairy products, not only as a beverage but also as a cooking ingredient.

China Holds a Prominent Market Share

Flavored milk is a rapidly growing category, aiming for further business growth by developing new customers. In addition to the development of new products by major brands, local brands are also growing their product offerings in the country. Chinese consumers who are concerned about their overall wellbeing are driving the consumption of these products. Owing to favorable economical factors of the country, the key vendors are continuously trying to make their products different in terms of quality, ingredients, flavors, and packaging, in order to gain the competitive advantage. However, stringent government regulations regarding the import/export of dairy products are expected to hinder the growth of the market.

Competitive Landscape

The Asia-Pacific flavored milk market is fragmented with the presence of a few key players, such as Nestle SA, Hershey's, and Saputo Inc. Due to the dynamic nature of the market, it is highly competitive and fragmented. Companies also compete in terms of new variants of flavors and attractive packaging. There is ample scope for regional players to gain a competitive advantage, provided that they bring in substantial innovation at the ingredient and packaging levels.

EXETER Common sense dictates avoiding large gatherings this year due to the risk of spreading COVID-19.

But even small gatherings will likely feature calorie-laden food. Add that to the quarantine 15 many people have already put on, and its a good time to reflect uponhealthy lifestyle choices.

My biggest tip to my patients is to take baby steps, approach lifestyle changes in moderation, said Dr. Gabrielle Phaneuf, a primary care doctor with CORE Physicians. Small steps build good habits and are something people can maintain. People who go extreme, like go to KETO and say they are never going to eat another carb in their life are setting themselves up to fail. It never sticks and they often ending going back with even worse habits.

Phaneuf said there are many reasons people are developing bad eating habits right now. She said COVID is causing people stress and stress eating is common. Many people are working from home and are expected to help with their childrens education. They turn to food because they are overwhelmed, bored and because snacks are readily available in their cupboards.

It is difficult to stick to a routine right now, said Phaneuf. Start in one place and go out from there.

So, start small. Phaneuf said eat half the serving of ice cream that you usually would. Replace the bag of potato chips with carrots, or almonds. Make each step a part of your daily life and then move forward to another step.

Emily Thompson, a registered dietician, and a certified specialist on obesity and weight management at Wentworth Douglass, said people who find themselves at home more, should develop a new routine, since schedules they are used to following might no longer exist.

It is important to helping regulate your lifestyle, said Thompson. Good sleep hygiene, going to bed at the same time and getting up at the same time is healthy. Establish a work routine, a time to start and a time to finish so you are not working at all odd hours of your day. Develop a meal schedule.

Its OK to have treats, said Phaneuf. Have a couple of those favorite Christmas cookies, not a pound of cookies. Factor them into your daily life so you can get the craving out of the way without overdoing it. Drink a huge glass of water before a meal or when you get a craving. It can make all the difference.

Exercise is good for your weight control but is also good for your mental health and well being.

If you tell me you walk to the mailbox, Ill tell you to walk a little further, and a little further after that. Turn something into a habit and then it sticks.

Thompson said staying active is important.

Find a routine that works for you, she said. People who used to go to the gym in the cold weather need to find something else to do. I sometimes do laps in my basement. So, go for a walk at lunchtime. The recommendation for exercise for an adult is 30-60 minutes a day. If you are just starting, work up to that. Dont try to do it right away or you will give up.

Avoid fad diets, both experts said.

I am not an advocate of fad diets, said Thompson. No health care provider will advise that. We see a lot of people trying them this time of year and they just do not work. The best diet is the diet you can stick to.

Thompson said there are ways to identify what is a fad diet.

If the diet has something to sell you; its probably a fad diet, she said. They are the ones benefitting from the diet, not you. Are there rigid rules; are those rules sustainable? No, then it is not going to work and is a fad diet. If it promises 10 pounds in 10 days; its a fad diet.

The other big weight gain culprit at this time of year is alcohol consumption, said Thompson.

Try to limit alcohol, said Thompson. If you are going to a small gathering in your bubble, bring something healthy. Prioritize what you eat. Choose a favorite you must have, and modify the other things you eat accordingly. You can have fun and stick to your goals at the same time.

Lots of aspects of adopting healthier habits are difficult. Cravings, fatigue, motivation, and more can get in the way of seeing results. But a new study says one of the easiest things to do to help progress is to simply talk about it!

The 87 participants in a Drexel University study published in the journal Obesity in October were tasked with wearing a Fitbit tracker, weighing themselves, and logging their food intake on an app over a 12-month period. The goal was to see if the level of contact and information shared with other people affect their health. (Related: 15 Underrated Weight Loss Tips That Actually Work.)

For three months at the beginning, each also participated in a weekly group session with each other where they learned behavioral skills. After that all participants only had contact with their coach through one text a week and one phone call a month. Coaches were able to see the data from half of them and craft messages based on the information. For the others, no one had access to their data and messages were generic.

"We were interested to see if weight-loss maintenance would be better when coaches could see the data and provide feedback and a sense of accountability to participants," says the lead author of the study and an associate professor at the school, Meghan Butryn, PhD., "which might help sustain a high level of motivation to keep up healthy eating behaviors and physical activity."

The study found that the participants whose data was shared with coaches maintained weight loss, while those whose data was private regained about four pounds during the weeks with no group sessions.

Of course, more research needs to be done, Butryn says. But showing goals and progress and talking about it with your doctor, trainer, a dietitian, or even friends and family could be the motivation needed to keep it up, especially into 2021!

The Warrior Diet restricts eating some foods for 20 hours a day and lets people overeat from dinnertime.

The Warrior Diet is based on intermittent fasting principles and could offer health benefits and weight loss for some people.

However, this diet may not be suitable, safe, or even necessary for many.

This article explores what the Warrior Diet is and how it works. It also discusses potential benefits and downsides, how to follow the diet, and what to eat.

The Warrior Diet is a diet based on intermittent fasting.

Fitness specialist Ori Hofmekler has written several books about dieting. He created The Warrior Diet, which he published in 2002.

According to the authors website, Hofmekler has based the Warrior Diet on survival science and his nutrition knowledge.

The regimen aims to help people lose weight and fat by eating most of their calories within a 4-hour window.

The Warrior Diet philosophy is that the body is pre-programmed to follow life cycles that evolved to improve our survival.

These cycles include periods of undereating and overeating, exercise and rest, and wake and sleep.

Hofmekler believes that interrupting these cycles due to chronic stress or too many meals in the day affects the bodys ability to adapt and perform. The result of interrupting cycles could be weight gain and obesity.

However, scientific studies do not necessarily support these claims.

The Warrior Diet has three initial phases that people perform over 3 weeks:

Phase one (week 1), detox: Aims to improve the bodys capacity to remove toxins and helps the liver neutralize substances that trigger fat gain.

Phase two (week 2), adaptation to fat fuel: Aims to improve the bodys ability to utilize fat for energy.

Phase three (week 3), adaptation to carbohydrate fuel: Aims to improve the bodys ability to utilize carbs for energy.

Each phase involves periods of undereating during the day and overeating from dinner onward.

No research specifically supports the Warrior Diet.

However, there are studies on the benefits of intermittent fasting.

For instance, one small study looked at the effect of fasting from dawn to sunset on participants with metabolic syndrome.

After 4 weeks, the researchers found that the participants had a reduction in body mass index and waist circumference and improvements in blood pressure.

However, the design of this study differs from the Warrior Diet. For example, the participants fasted completely, with no food or drink. The fasting window of 14 hours was also shorter than the diets 20-hour period.

Other studies suggest the beneficial effects of intermittent fasting could be weight loss, decreased cholesterol, and improved heart health.

However, the period of fasting and eating varies in studies, as does the amount of calories participants eat.

These variations mean it is difficult to apply the specific benefits to the Warrior Diet.

Fasting may alter the hunger hormones leptin and ghrelin, according to some research. However, it is not conclusive how macronutrients and the timing of meals affect these hormones.

The Warrior Diet is highly restrictive and unnecessary for most people. It may also lead to potentially dangerous side effects, such as fatigue, irritability, and fainting.

It is important to find a healthful diet that nourishes a persons body and suits their lifestyle.

Most of the research on intermittent fasting is on middle-aged adults with overweight.

The National Institute on Aging state we need more studies to determine if this type of eating pattern is safe for people with moderate weight, as well as younger people and older adults.

The Warrior Diet may not be suitable for people with health conditions, pregnant or breastfeeding people, people with underweight, and those with a current or previous eating disorder.

Athletes and those who regularly participate in sport may need more food to sustain their training regimes.

The Warrior Diet may be challenging in social eating situations and could produce side effects in some people. It could also lead to eating disorders.

Always consult a healthcare professional before starting a new diet program.

The following is an example of how to follow the Warrior Diet. Remember to speak with a doctor before trying this program.

People need to undereat after waking until the evening meal.

Do not consume animal flesh protein such as meat, poultry, or fish. Instead, eat:

During this phase, people can drink tea and coffee with regular milk and no sugar. They can also drink fresh juices.

From dinner onwards, people can overeat. They should eat the first serving of food and then take a 20-minute break. If they are still hungry, they then eat more of the same food. The break allows a person to respond to their bodys satiety signals indicating they are full.

Example of evening meal foods:

Additionally, people must eliminate all sugars, candies, and sweeteners during phase one.

During this phase, people should eat a handful of nuts with meals at night. High-fat foods, such as nuts and seeds, help regulate the satiety hormone leptin.

Daytime undereating foods and instructions are the same as week 1.

People can eat the same foods as week 1 for night-time overeating, but replace the beans with animal protein such as meat, fish, or eggs.

If someone is too full to eat the protein after the handful of nuts, they can leave out the protein the emphasis is on eating the nuts.

People can eat raw nuts, including almonds, walnuts, and pecans.

Avoid eating starchy or sweet foods during this phase.

The third phase involves alternating between high-carb and high-protein meals. People should eat according to the following cycles:

The undereating foods are the same as weeks 1 and 2.

People can add high carb foods during the overeating period according to which cycle they are on. They should choose one main carb per meal from the following:

Someone can include carbs with their main choice but in small quantities. They must still take a 20-minute break between meals.

Following the initial 3 weeks, people can rotate between the phases according to their individual needs.

Once someone completes the initial phases, they can enjoy a glass of wine with a high protein meal.

However, they should not drink beer or other alcoholic beverages.

The Warrior Diet also advises people to take various nutritional supplements such as multivitamins, minerals, and amino acids.

Although there is no research to support the Warrior Diet, the benefits to health and weight loss from intermittent fasting may be relevant.

The diet may not be suitable or safe for certain groups of people. It could also lead to eating disorders in some.

The diets complexity and restrictions mean that a person will have difficulties with eating out socially. They may also find the program difficult to follow.

It is unnecessary to follow restrictive programs, such as the Warrior Diet, to maintain a moderate weight or healthful lifestyle. Consult with a doctor or dietitian to find an eating plan suitable for a persons lifestyle and health goals.

Eating to many eggs in a day may negatively affect your health

Eggsare power-packed with essential nutrients. It is often said that eggs should be your best friend when trying to lose weight. These are loaded with protein and are filling, keeping you full for longer. Consuming eggs for breakfast often keeps you full till lunch. A medium-sized hard-boiled egg is also low in calories. Many also choose it as an evening snack or include it to their post-workout meal. But consuming too many eggs in a day can be harmful to your health. To understand how many eggs you can safely eat in a day, we spoke to Ritika Samaddar who is the regional head of the department of clinical nutrition and dietetics at Max hospital, Saket. Also, know the side effects of eating eggs in excess.

Dietician Samaddar tells, "An egg is a wonder food. It is one of the most nutritious foods on the planet. Egg should be part of a well-balanced diet. One egg has around 200 mg of cholesterol, but research states that intake of dietary cholesterol does not have a direct impact on blood cholesterol. Eggs also contain additional nutrients (MUFA and omega-3 fatty acids) that may help lower the risk of heart disease. Adding eggs to your diet will also provide you protein, choline, vitamin A and D and biotin."
