MONDAY, Nov. 30, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- For patients with localized high-risk prostate cancer (PC), prolonged androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is associated with reduced cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and increased cardiovascular (CV) mortality, according to a study published in the Nov. 1 issue of JACC: CardioOncology.

Jingyi Gong, M.D., from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and colleagues compared CRF and CV mortality among patients with PC with and without ADT exposure. Data were included for 616 patients who underwent exercise treadmill testing (ETT) a median of 4.8 years after PC diagnosis; 150 (24.3 percent) received ADT prior to ETT, including 99 and 51 with short-term and prolonged exposure, respectively.

The researchers found that in adjusted analyses, prolonged ADT correlated with reduced CRF (odds ratio, 2.71; 95 percent confidence interval [CI], 1.31 to 5.61; P = 0.007) and increased CV mortality (hazard ratio, 3.87; 95 percent CI, 1.16 to 12.96; P = 0.028). In adjusted Cox regression models, the correlation between short-term ADT exposure and reduced CRF was of borderline significance (odds ratio, 1.71; 95 percent CI, 1.00 to 2.94; P = 0.052), while no correlation was observed with CV mortality (hazard ratio, 1.60; 95 percent CI, 0.51 to 5.01; P = 0.420).

"These findings emphasize the need to consider CV surveillance/risk modification during and after ADT exposure," a coauthor said in a statement.

Several authors disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.

Worried about gaining weight this COVID-19 holiday season?

Fret not.

Experts say this pandemic December may be a perfect opportunity to break the holiday weight gain cycle.

They say the fact that traditions such as office parties, cookie swaps, and even holiday dinners are for the most part on hold presents an opportunity for change.

Its a chance, nutritionists say, to tweak things toward a healthier diet and lifestyle.

2020s circumstances do present a golden opportunity for people to conveniently practice healthy living as the worlds usual distractions are currently hard to reach, Brandon Nichols, NMAS, a personal trainer at The Fitness Tribe, told Healthline.

Nichols said he believes theres no wrong time to make a move toward better health and fitness.

That means that while many think the holidays wont work, they can with the right steps. And this year could be easier without those distractions, he said.

How does a person make this holiday season a healthy time of year?

Heres how experts weighed in.

First off, as much as most of us perceive that we gain lots of weight this time of year, the truth may be otherwise.

According to 2016 research, people in the United States gain slightly more than a pound, on average, during the Christmas season.

Studies done in previous years found similar results.

Part of the challenge is how we feel.

Its important to distinguish between weight gain due to an increase in body fat versus temporary bloating, said Kelli McGrane, RD, a nutritionist working with the fitness app Lose It, as well as a nutrition writer for Healthline.

Many holiday foods are higher in sodium, and we may not be drinking as much water, she told Healthline. So, its not uncommon for water weight to be behind the jump in the scale the morning after a celebration.

Solution?

Consider skipping your daily weigh-in for the holidays.

And when you feel bloated, drink more water and get some exercise.

Outdoor sports such as cycling and hiking as well as golf saw an increase during the 2020 pandemic summer.

Experts say winter doesnt need to be different.

Finding a new way to move or just setting up a regular schedule of activity in some way could be a great gift to yourself, according to Melissa Joy Dobbins, MS, RDN, CDE, who touches on the topic in her podcast Sound Bites.

Move your body for fun, not for weight loss, Dobbins told Healthline. Do it for stress management, fresh air, for fun.

How to stick with it?

Make it part of your holiday (and beyond) routine, Dobbins said. An after meal walk with a friend or alone can be great.

So, too, can a regular family bike ride, a weekly hike, and even a dance party in your living room.

In this unusual year, it may be natural to lean toward traditions we can still take part in when so many are at arms length.

But how we embrace that in a healthy way comes down to considering how important something is to you and, when you can, tweaking things for the better.

Ask yourself: Is it really important for me to have something normal or traditional? said Dobbins. Or, could you take a family favorite and lighten it up?

Its important, she added, for that effort to be fun.

For some, cooking and baking and finding new ways is fun, she said.

In other words, take the bake fresh bread fad of last springs lockdown and tweak it into a healthier favorite holiday food challenge.

It is important, too, Dobbins said, that you not deny yourself the treats that make the holidays special.

Find out what works for you in a way that does not make you feel deprived, she said.

If you can, choose traditional treats that you can have around the house without going overboard. But if you want something special, go ahead and indulge.

However, McGrane said, be careful not to overeat.

Make only your favorite baked goods, she said. Pick just one or two favorite holiday recipes, or make half-batches.

Also keep in mind that cookie dough generally freezes really well. So, if you cant easily halve your recipe, store half of your dough in the freezer to bake later in the year, McGrane recommended.

And what of that tradition of noshing on leftovers?

Cesar Sauza, RD, a registered dietitian with AltaMed Health Services, suggests rethinking how you enjoy them.

Use the components of leftovers as part of your meal prep for the next few days, Sauza told Healthline. We dont need to have a holiday meal for 5 straight days. However, the leftover turkey or chicken could be used for different dinners each day. Leftover side dishes can be added with protein to create a new main dish.

Little things do add up. Dont discount them, Dobbins said. Im talking about the positive little things.

Those wanting to lose or maintain weight tend to think in an all-or-nothing mode, she said, plunging them into despair should they eat something or do something they view as not positive toward that effort.

Rather, she said, we should all do little things and celebrate them.

Trust that every small choice helps, she said. Have that piece of pie but skip the last bite. One less bite is a positive.

Another little thing can be better monitoring of liquid consumption choices, said Sauza.

Avoid drinking your calories, Sauza said. Alcohol, hot chocolate, coffee, or other dessert drinks contribute a high number of empty calories during the holidays. Avoiding (or limiting) these drinks alone could be the difference between gaining or not gaining weight.

So too can drinking water between higher calories items you eat.

So how does one stay mentally healthy while trying to restrict typical activities?

Dobbins suggests that rather than look at maintaining or losing weight this holiday season as stressful, try to reframe it as a gift to yourself.

Attach a different meaning to your weight management, she said.

She suggests thinking about what it feels like to move better, feel better, sleep better, wear clothes you like, and other positive attributes.

When you really focus on the why, it clicks, she said.

And should you falter? Give yourself a break.

2020 should bring less parties and temptations, but it also brings more stress, boredom, and uncertainty, all of which could lead to emotional eating and decreased motivation to be active, Sauza said.

We should all be going outside and doing something active for physical health but even more importantly for mental health, he said. A simple walk around your neighborhood could be the difference that stops you from emotional eating at home. I encourage all families to plan daily activities (preferably outside if possible). This is safe as long as you wear a mask and practice social distancing.

Sauza also thinks that done correctly, this holiday is a rare chance to reset your holiday health choices for good.

For many of us, we may never have an opportunity like this for the rest of our lives, a time in which our typical hectic lives have actually slowed down, he said.

At the end of all this, there will be those people that took advantage and improved themselves. In my opinion, this rare opportunity is the silver lining of 2020, he added.

The proportion of teenagers who are overweight or obese has risen over the past 30 years. In parallel, there has been an increase in societal focus on weight loss and dieting namely in the form of anti-obesity public health campaigns, the expansion of the weight-loss and fitness industry, and weight-focused media content from TV shows to social media trends. We know that these messages have not translated in a decrease in the prevalence of obesity, which has remained relatively stable over the past 15 years. However, what we dont know is whether dieting behaviours and weight concerns have increased and what impact this might have had on teenagers mental health.

Our study found that teenagers born in 2000-2002 (often called Generation Z) are more concerned about their weight and losing weight than previous generations. We also found that Gen Z teenagers who dieted and thought of themselves as being overweight had greater symptoms of depression than those who did in previous generations.

To conduct our study, we used data from 22,503 adolescents who took part in three large UK general population cohorts. This included the British Cohort Study of people born in 1970, the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, which looked at children born in 1991-92, and the Millennium Cohort study of children born in 2000-2002. In 1986, 2005, and 2015, when participants were aged 14-16, these studies collected information on weight loss behaviours and weight perception in early adolescence.

We found that compared to teenagers from 1986 and 2005, more teens in 2015 were trying (or had tried) to lose weight by dieting or exercising, or described themselves as overweight. Although these behaviours were more common in girls, their prevalence increased more in boys over these 30 years.

We also observed that more teens in this generation were exercising to lose weight. This is interesting, because we know from other research that the proportion of young people engaging in physical activity has remained relatively stable. So although todays teens arent necessarily exercising more than past generations, our findings suggest that teens today are increasingly exercising with the aim of losing or controlling their weight.

Finally, we found that adolescents who were trying to lose weight or described themselves as overweight had greater symptoms of depression. For girls in particular, these symptoms have become more severe in Gen Z compared to prior generations.

Crucially though, none of the differences that we observed in this study were explained by higher BMI in the more recent cohorts.

Its well known that pressures to lose weight and weight stigma are associated with increased risk of body dissatisfaction and dieting. Our study adds to existing evidence that making weight loss the main focus of public health campaigns might create more harm than good by increasing mental health problems in teenagers.

Public health campaigns aimed at reducing the prevalence of obesity often focus on calorie labelling and exercise as means to achieve or maintain a healthy weight. Yet evidence suggests that dieting is ineffective for long-term weight loss.

Obesity is also known to be influenced by a number of social determinants such as being from a socio-economically disadvantaged background. Framing weight loss as a personal responsibility, as it has been done so far, is therefore not only ineffective, but also dangerous. Pressures to lose weight can lead to internalising weight stigma, body dissatisfaction, and disordered eating behaviours, all known to increase mental health as well as physical health problems.

Praising young people for weight loss or showing concerns for them depending on their BMI ignores the fact that disordered eating behaviours and body dissatisfaction are associated with negative mental health outcomes at all levels of BMI, which is what we observed in our study.

Its therefore crucial that good physical and mental health are promoted above healthy weight and weight loss and that children are taught to enjoy exercise as a time to learn new skills, and spend time with friends, as opposed to as justification for eating. It will also be important for anti-obesity campaigns to consider how they can prevent adverse mental health outcomes or disordered eating when theyre designed.

In his most recent video, YouTuber Craig Benzine, a.k.a. WheezyWaiter, provided an update on his weight loss progress, and broke down the changes he has made to his lifestyle on a day-to-day basis which have helped him to lose 12 pounds over the last couple of months, including intermittent fasting, keeping close count of his daily calories, exercising every day, limiting his alcohol intake, and avoiding sugar-heavy foods.

While these were all things he had tried in order to lose weight in the past, he found that the unique circumstances of this yeari.e. living in lockdown where every day feels the samehelped him build the habit and maintain more consistency than he had ever managed before.

Craig wakes up at the same time every day and weighs himself. He doesn't eat until 10 or 11 a.m., but he does allow himself coffee before then. He initially adopted intermittent fasting as part of a challenge for a YouTube video, and ate all of his daily meals in an 8-hour window between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Since then, he has found it fits his lifestyle quite well, although he isn't quite as strict with it. "After doing it for a long time, I generally don't get hungry until around 10 or 11," he says.

He's currently eating at a slight calorie deficit, aiming to consume up to 2,000 each day instead of the 2,500 that would be required to maintain his prior weight. Craig eats the same breakfast every morning; eggs, black beans, with an apple and peanut butter. "Basically, eat a lot of protein-y things early in the day because it'll make you feel full for longer." After that, it's time for a workout followed by a runusually between 3 and 5 miles.

Craig follows his exercise with a small lunch, and then a light snack later in the afternoon, ensuring it's something that will make him feel full, and isn't packed with sugar, and remembering to track his calories. In the evenings, he'll eat a hearty, protein-rich dinner with plenty of vegetables, and often allow himself a treat or snack, as long as it falls within his calorie count.

"I'm feeling generally healthier than perhaps ever in my life," he says.

Demi Moore will never forget the moment when a director told her that she needed to lose weight. After his comment, the actor became obsessed with the number on the scale and developed an unhealthy relationship with food. Moore began to over-exercise to the point where it became an addiction.But what exactly did the director say that caused her to have these body image issues?

Once Hollywood began to scrutinize Moores appearance, she developed an extremely unhealthy relationship with food. The Ghost actor says it got so bad that she eventually locked her refrigerator shut.

All of my anxieties shifted to food, she reveals in her memoir,Inside Out. If I got on a scale, it could ruin my entire day. I have journals upon journals from that period, full of writing about my pain and torture over my body. Id wake up in the middle of the night and binge eat and then be covered in crumbs in the morning. I even put a lock on my refrigerator at one point. It was like food had become a weapon to use in a war against my body, the enemy.

RELATED: Demi Moore Says Ashton Kutcher Tried To Justify His Affair in the Worst Way Possible

Before Moores career began to flourish, she was a smoker. She gave up cigarettes after getting sober, which caused her to put on a healthy amount of weight. Yet the director of a movie she was set to star in said she needed to change her body if she wanted to keep the part.

You are really who I would like to do this film, said Ed Zwick, the director ofOne Crazy Summer. But you would have to promise me that you would lose weight.

This caused a flood of panic to overcome her. She writes, Ill never forget that moment as long as I live. I felt a combination of sick, pit-of-my-stomach mortification, and raw panic. And so began my process of trying to dominate and control my body- and of equating my worth to my weight, my size, my exterior.

Moore says that she didnt approach this issue in a rational, healthy way. She says, I was thrown into a tailspin of terror and self-loathing.

According to the actor, she now has a much healthier relationship with her body. Instead of loathing the numbers on the scale and starving herself, as she puts it, she now has the strength to be her actual size.

And after starring in a film where she had to bulk up, she didnt feel the need to shed the added pounds.

My usual reaction would have been to start starving myself again, to begin an exercise regime, but I did neither, she writes. I had reached my limit. When I got home to Idaho, I had an epiphany in the shower one day: I just need to be my natural size.

Moore says that after her epiphany, she gave up on exercise and instead took up meditation. I couldnt go on fighting my body and my weight; I had to make peace, and I started by giving up hard exercise.

TheStreet S&P 500 and Nasdaq Hit Records in Broad Wall Street Rally

Stocks finished higher Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq both closing at records, as Wall Street came off its best monthly performance since April.

The S&P finished up 1.13% to 3,662, while the Nasdaq was up 1.28% to 12,355. Both indexes posted intraday highs.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished up 185 points, or 0.63%, to 29,823.

At one point in Tuesday's session, the Dow industrials were up as much as 1.5%, past 30,000. The Nasdaq Composite was up as much as 1.7%.

President-elect Joe Biden urged Congress to pass a new stimulus bill as he unveiled his economic team, including his selection of Former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen as nominee for treasury secretary.

Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell rejected a bipartisan stimulus proposal that had been unveiled Tuesday by members of the GOP-controlled Senate and Democratic-held House.

The legislation would provide $908 billion in aid and shield businesses from coronavirus lawsuits for a few months. But McConnell told reporters "we just don't have time to waste time" in response to the proposal, according to CNBC.

Stocks declined Monday but only after the S&P 500 recorded a gain of 10.8% in November, its biggest monthly gain since April. The Dow posted its best month since 1987, up 11.8%, and the Nasdaq also soared 11.8% during November.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, in testimony Tuesday before the Senate Banking Committee, said that economic prospects are "extraordinarily uncertain" after the pace of improvement moderated.

While calling progress made on the development of coronavirus vaccine "very positive," the central bank chairman also said a resurgence of the virus in the U.S. and globally was "concerning and could prove challenging for the next few months.

"A full economic recovery is unlikely until people are confident that it is safe to reengage in a broad range of activities."

Powell's cautious assessment, as well as the continued gridlock in Washington on another stimulus package, has investors betting the Fed will take the lead on supporting the U.S. economy until a vaccine can be widely distributed.

Tesla finished up 3.1% on Tuesday following an announcement that shares of the electric vehicle company will be added to the S&P 500 index in a single tranche on Dec. 21.

The move will come despite concern about the potential for trading volatility as funds shuffle their holdings to add shares of the electric-vehicle company to their portfolios.

Tesla, with a market cap of more than $555 billion, joins the index as its seventh largest component, between Berkshire Hathaway and Visa .

Oil prices declined Tuesday after OPEC leaders, as well as non-member allies such as Russia, delayed a decision on output cuts until Thursday after failing to reach a consensus during a virtual session on Monday.

West Texas Intermediate crude oil, the U.S. benchmark, fell 0.62% to $45.06 a barrel.

Eggs are a nutritious and affordable source of protein that humans have been eating for millions of years (1).

The most commonly consumed type of egg is the chicken egg. Still, many other types of eggs can be eaten too, including duck, quail, turkey, and goose eggs.

Duck eggs are a staple in Asian cuisines, though recently they have been gaining popularity in other places around the world (2).

You might have seen them at the grocery store, your local market, or on restaurant menus.

This article explains the differences between duck eggs and chicken eggs and compares the nutritional profiles of each. It also reviews some overall benefits and potential downsides of eating eggs.

In general, duck and chicken eggs are quite similar.

Still, there are a few specific features that set the two apart.

The most noticeable difference in physical appearance is the size of the eggs.

A duck egg can be 50100% larger than an average-sized chicken egg. Thus, eating one duck egg is like eating one and a half or two chicken eggs.

As with chicken eggs, the color of duck eggs varies based on the breed and diet of the duck, the environment its raised in, and its genetics (3).

Many duck eggs have white shells, but they also come in shades of pale gray, green, black, and blue.

The yolks also differ in both size and color. While the yolks of chicken eggs are usually a pale or bright yellow, duck egg yolks are a deeper shade of golden orange. Compared with a chicken yolk, a duck yolk tends to appear more vibrant.

Duck egg yolks are also larger, partly because duck eggs are generally larger than chicken eggs.

The vibrant yolk of a duck egg not only looks bold, but some people think it gives the egg a richer flavor as well. People often describe duck egg yolks as tasting creamier than chicken egg yolks.

Overall, duck eggs and chicken eggs taste similar. However, the flavor of duck eggs may be more intense than that of chicken eggs.

Duck eggs tend to be 50100% larger than chicken eggs. They also have a deep orange yolk that people often say is much richer and creamier than chicken egg yolk.

Duck eggs and chicken eggs both have impressive nutritional profiles.

The comparison chart below highlights the most notable nutrients in each.

Here are the nutritional profiles for 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of cooked duck and chicken eggs (4, 5).

Overall, eggs are low in carbs and fiber but a rich source of protein and good source of fat. Theyre also packed with many vitamins and minerals, particularly choline, riboflavin, selenium, vitamin A, and vitamin B12.

Although both types of eggs are nutritious, duck eggs tend to contain even higher amounts of some nutrients than chicken eggs, including folate, iron, and vitamin B12.

Duck eggs contain as much as 168% or more of the DV for vitamin B12. Your body needs vitamin B12 for certain tasks, such as building DNA and new red blood cells (6).

Yet, chicken egg whites tend to contain greater amounts of some proteins like ovalbumin, conalbumin, and lysozyme than duck egg whites. Scientists believe these proteins and others in eggs have antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cancer-inhibiting properties (2, 7, 8, 9).

Some people mistakenly believe that only egg whites contain protein. However, the yolks are actually packed with protein, although slightly less than the whites (10).

Both the egg whites and yolks of duck and chicken eggs are rich in beneficial bioactive peptides. These peptides are protein particles that may promote optimal health in humans (1, 11, 12, 13).

Duck eggs and chicken eggs are both packed with protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and bioactive peptides that contribute in numerous ways to optimal human health.

Due to the large amounts of health-promoting nutrients that duck eggs and chicken eggs contain, occasionally consuming either type of egg may have health benefits.

Here are some particular benefits of both types of eggs.

Duck eggs and chicken eggs contain similar amounts of vitamin D. Each delivers between 89% of the DV in a 3.5-ounce (100-gram) serving.

Furthermore, some animal research from the past few years suggests that egg consumption may prevent vitamin D deficiency (14).

One 8-week study fed rats with diabetes a whole-egg diet and found a 130% increase in vitamin D levels, compared with rats fed a protein-based diet.

Rats that ate the whole-egg diet also had higher vitamin D levels than rats that were supplemented with vitamin D on the protein-based diet (15).

Still, research on how duck eggs and chicken eggs affect vitamin D status is limited, and scientists need to do many more high quality studies in humans to investigate this.

Regularly eating lean sources of protein, such as eggs, may provide important health benefits. High protein diets have been linked to several health benefits, including (16, 17):

One small study even found that egg proteins specifically may have benefits for weight loss.

The study observed that rats consuming diets comprising 1020% protein from chicken eggs experienced 2930% greater reductions in weight than rats that consumed a diet rich in the dairy protein casein (14).

However, this study was small, limited, and conducted in animals. Scientists would need to conduct human studies on isolated egg proteins to understand how their effects differ from those of other types of proteins.

Still, eggs are a low calorie protein source that may contribute to an overall healthy diet and even help some people manage their weight.

Eggs may be an important source of nutrition for pregnant people and their babies.

In recent years, studies have found an association between egg consumption and a number of benefits, including greater production of breast milk. Whats more, the nutrient choline found in eggs may support brain health and development in newborns (18).

Infants who consume eggs also tend to have higher intakes of beneficial nutrients, including vitamin B12, selenium, and phosphorus (19).

For pregnant people, the benefits may be less clear. One study found that higher egg consumption was associated with a reduced risk of high blood pressure and diabetes. Meanwhile, another study found it was associated with increased risk (20, 21).

Thus, scientists need to conduct more research to investigate the effects of eggs on pregnant people, their unborn children, and newborns.

Duck eggs and chicken eggs may be important sources of nutrition for young children, pregnant and lactating women, people trying to lose weight, and those at risk of vitamin D deficiency. However, scientists need to do more research on these topics.

Though eggs are certainly a nutritious food, consuming duck or chicken eggs too often could also carry certain risks.

Some nutrients increase or decrease when eggs are cooked. Its common for the nutrient content of foods to be altered by heat and other cooking methods.

For example, the protein content differs between raw eggs and soft or hard-boiled eggs (22).

Other nutrient levels can change with cooking, too. One study found that cooking chicken eggs may decrease their vitamin A content by as much as 20%.

Other studies suggest that various antioxidants in eggs may be altered by heat and cooking. In some cases, cooking increases the amount of nutrients present in eggs (23, 24, 25, 26).

That said, eggs still provide plenty of nutrients. You can use the table above to estimate your nutrient intake from cooked duck or chicken eggs.

Salmonella is a bacterium capable of causing a foodborne illness called salmonellosis. Its symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, headaches, and fever.

Usually, salmonellosis is not life threatening. However, it can be deadly in certain high-risk populations, such as children, pregnant people, older adults, and those with compromised immune systems.

Both duck and chicken eggs can occasionally be contaminated with the bacteria (27, 28, 29, 30).

To avoid developing a foodborne illness from duck or chicken eggs, always rinse the outside of your eggs under running water before cracking them open. Make sure to cook the egg whites and yolks to at least 160F (71C) (31, 32).

Heavy metals are a chemical element classification.

They may occur in some foods as a result of their presence in the soil, water, and air that the food is grown with. The amount in eggs can vary significantly depending on how and where the ducks or chickens were raised.

Animal feed contaminated with heavy metals may also contribute to the amount of heavy metals in the animals eggs (33, 34).

Heavy metals are generally harmless. In fact, some, such as iron, are actually essential nutrients the body needs to function properly.

However, some heavy metals may be toxic in large amounts.

Unfortunately, studies on both duck and chicken eggs have found that some eggs may contain significant amounts of heavy metals, including lead, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, and copper (35, 36, 37, 38).

Thus, consuming too many duck or chicken eggs high in heavy metals could harm your health over the long term (39).

Eggs have been at the center of a controversy surrounding cholesterol and heart disease for years.

Egg yolks contain a significant amount of fats, including more than 100% of the DV for cholesterol in a 3.5-ounce (100-gram) serving. For this reason, people have suggested that eggs may contribute to an increased risk of heart disease (40).

However, since these claims about eggs became mainstream, multiple research studies have suggested that eggs may actually help promote health (41, 42, 43, 44).

Particularly, eating eggs in moderation may help reduce the risk of some chronic diseases like stroke (45).

Still, other studies have found that eggs may elevate your cholesterol and blood sugar levels, which could, in theory, increase the risk of chronic disease (46, 47).

As such, the best way to include duck eggs or chicken eggs as part of a healthy diet is to consume them in moderation and use healthier preparation methods, such as poaching, boiling, and baking.

Duck and chicken eggs can occasionally contain foodborne-illness-causing bacteria or higher than normal levels of heavy metals.

Whether duck eggs or chicken eggs are better comes down to personal choice. Theres no right answer for everyone.

A few factors you may want to consider when choosing between duck eggs and chicken eggs are:

Whether you choose duck or chicken eggs is a personal preference. When youre deciding between the two, you may want to consider allergies, availability, personal taste, and price.

Eggs of all types contain an impressive number of healthy nutrients.

Plus, theyre affordable, versatile, and relatively easy to find.

However, consuming too many may have risks, although scientists need to conduct more research on this.

Thus, consuming duck or chicken eggs in moderation easily fits into a healthy diet.

If youve never had them, try duck eggs next time youre feeling bored with chicken eggs.

This is the season of overeating. After a Thanksgiving where there were fewer people at the table and more leftovers to pick at for the past three days, we all need a break from cold stuffing and forkfuls of pie, eaten right out of the tin. Enter Nicole Osinga, RD and creator of the VegStart Diet, the healthy and natural way to lose weight without doing anything other than piling your plate full of whole, plant-based foods that are high in fiber and nutrients, low in calories and sugar. Eat up, lose weight, and feel energized on her easy 14-day meal plan.

Here are Nicole Osinga's top tips for getting, and staying, on track from now till it's time to enjoy the next holiday, which is coming faster than you may think!

You may think it's a good idea to deprive yourself of food in the morning after a day of overdoing it. Or you choose to skip breakfast and lunch before a dinner where you know it will be a special meal (of all your favorite foods)Actually, the opposite is true, says Nicole. Starving yourself just sets you up for overeating at your next opportunity, and that defeats the point. "The first thing you will do is reach for all the wrong foods, like bread and carbs," Nicole says. Her advice: Eat a modest and healthy breakfast like overnight oats and berries, or a small but fiber-filled lunch like a big salad full of greens and legumes. That way when you walk into the room full of food your body will be nicely fueled and you will be able to make a rational decision of what (and how much) to eat.

The most important thing about snacking is to not overdo it. A snack should give you just enough calories and fuel to tide you over till the next meal. It does not need to feel like a meal in itself. That means about 200 to 250 calories, but not 400 calories, which is easy to get to if you are eating nuts or other calorie-dense, heavy foods. Instead, combine protein and carbs in the form of heavy and light foods. So that means dip celery stalks, which are light, into almond butter, which is heavy (not your finger or a spoon out of the jar). Plus the fiber in the celery will make you feel fuller longer and help your body slow-burn the fuel, leaving you sated until dinner, and not overly-hungry when it is time to sit down to eat. For other great snack ideas to keep blood sugar low, see the VegStart Diet. (Popcorn lovers you will be happy.)

This is a no-brainer and yet so many of us don't do it. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Keep a water bottle handy or a tall glass of water (you can infuse it with lemon if that makes it more palatable). Too often we mistake thirst with hunger, Nicole says. That means you recognize an urge but you go to the fridge instead of the sink. Try this instead: Drink a full tall glass of 8 to 12 ounces of water and wait ten minutes. Chances are the urge goes away. If you are indeed hungry, choose foods that are hydrating, like a piece of fruit that has both high water content and high fiber content. An apple or an orange is nature's snack packs.

This advice is as old as we are. How many of us were told as kids to "slow down" and still we inhale our food. Practice this: Put your fork down as you chew. Let it sit on the side of the plate for a few seconds and then pick it up to take the next bite. You want to eat mindfully and so many of us are distracted, or busy, and eat like it's a race. Your body requires 20 to 30 minutes to send satiety cues from your stomach to your head, which is why we usually eat 30 percent more calories than we need at every meal, and those calories get stored as fat, sorry to tell you. Instead, eat slower, and chances are you will feel full and satisfied, without joining the clean plate club. If you find that doing this allows you to eat 2/3 of your plate, great! Save the leftovers for later since that 1/3 of your meal makes a perfect snack!

This is called front loading. What it means is if you front-load the system with beneficial vegetables, high fiber foods that fill up your stomach, and protein-rich foods like beans or legumes, you will be much less likely to over-do it on the calorie-dense foods like mashed potatoes or dessert. The salad you eat isn't just filling you up, it's sending a signal to your body that quality food is coming, and your energy level will be higher, your immune system will be working on high, and your cellular messaging to the brain will make you feel sharper. Food should not make you want to take a nap. Salads and vegetables filling up most of your plate ensure that the other smaller portions of carbs or fatty foods don't overwhelm the nutritious foods. Eat a mostly plant-based diet full of whole foods such as vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes and you will feel better, less fatigued, right after you eat.

Portion size is one of the biggest problems for most people trying to lose weight. You can enjoy small portions of your favorite foods, but the trouble is that most of us can't calibrate hat that means, or we don't know how to stop at just a few bites. For a snack, think of a handful of nuts or seeds, which is enough fuel to get you through the next 2 to 3 hours. A meal will be enough food to sustain you for the next 4 to 5 hours. Make snack packs ready in the fridge if you have trouble doling out the right amount of food for yourself at the time when you want it.

When you think about your body, you want it to be a race car, so fuel it with the highest-quality food you can find, which are whole plant-based foods like vegetables and fruits, seeds and nuts, grains and legumes. Then only as much as your next "trip" requires. going for a hike takes more out of you than sitting at your desk. Each portion should come with a "task" attached. This food will take me through 4 hours of walking or hiking. Otherwise, you become the fridge. You want to be the car.

This is key: When it comes time to celebrate, as you did over the holiday and as you will over the next upcoming event, that's fine. Consistency is key and when you are healthy most of the time, you can afford to have a treat, a dessert or a calorie bomb on those occasions. Don't think of it as: I blew it, so now I'm just throwing caution to the wind. Quite the opposite, you are human and these special occasions call for celebration and enjoyment. Let yourself indulge and then get back on track the next day. Your body is resilient, and it will pop back into shape when you treat it right, with healthy nutritious food. Live life and choose to be healthy most of the time. You will be surprised at how that rewards you now and for years to come.
