Calcium isn't justfor old people who worry about osteoporosis or risk of fractures. It's an essential mineral that helps your muscles to contract and your heart to beat, your blood to clot, and yes, your bones to get stronger. It also keeps you from gaining weight since the more calcium in your diet the morelikely you'll burn off energy rather than store it as fat.

Here are the best plant-based foods to help you get thecalcium you need when you're not eating dairy (either because you're plant-based or lactose intolerant) and you need to pay attention. But first, let's look at the importance of calcium and the right amount to shoot for.

It's hard to get enough calcium on any diet, much less a plant-based or non-dairy one. The recommended daily intake of calcium is around 1,200 mg to 1300 mg a day, which equals two tothree portions of dairy, or the equivalent. Calcium has an important role to play in bone strength and also contributes to muscle contraction, nerve transmission, cellular signaling, and prevention of weight gain, among other essential jobs in the body,

Evenfor someone consuming dairy, it is difficult to reach these requirements. Add a special diet, such as a dairy-free, low-fat or plant-based diet to themix and your intake of calcium generally falls well below the recommended daily requirements.

Most of us will live into old age when osteoporosis becomes a risk, and suddenly getting enough calcium jumps to the top of your list of dietary priorities, where it belongs. In a study in the lab, the more calcium you have in your fat cells, the more likely they are to burn off as fuel.

The good news is that it's actually possible to get enough calcium, if you know where to look, to build bone strength and prevent weight gain. Your best bet: head to the produce aisle.

First of all, we may be able to lower those ambitiousgoal numbers: In a review article by the Harvard Medical School, the recommended daily value was challenged and the calcium intake that is advised is between 500mg and 700mg daily. This equates to the more achievable one to two portions of calcium-rich foods per day. What is a portion of dairy replacement exactly?

There are other foods, such as oranges, dried fruit, nuts (especially almonds), and broccoli that contain smaller amounts of calcium, and whenyoutrack your total daily amount of calcium it adds up quickly. Recent evidenceindicates that a plant-based diet can provide adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D.The study concluded that"there is no evidence that aplant-baseddiet, when carefully chosen to maintain adequate calcium and vitamin D levels, has any detrimental effects onbonehealth."

Other research shows plant-based diets may lower the risk of osteoporosis, even in postmenopausal women most at risk. What is interesting is that when it comes to bone strength, fruit consumption seems to impart a greater benefit than vegetables, which makes long term ketogenic diets that exclude fruits a less healthy diet choice. The exact mechanism is still not known, but it may involve the interplay between phytonutrients, prebiotics and probiotics and immune and inflammatory responses in the body.

Are there any risks involved if one sticks to the lower recommended amounts of 500 mg to 700 mg of calcium a day? Studies have shown that increased calcium intake generally does not increase bone strength or prevent osteoporotic fractures, although it may reduce the development of atherosclerosis. There is, however, a critical level of 400 mg, below which the risk of vertebral fractures increases. Interestingly, weight-bearing exercise is an often overlooked and major contributor to bone health. Regular exercise, in fact, significantly reduces the risk of developing vertebral fractures, irrespective of the calcium intake above the 400mg threshold. The best bet, a study in Italy found, is to both get exercise and eat calcium-rich foods.

Supplementing calcium intake can do more harm than good, since calcium supplements, particularly above 500mg a day were found to increase coronary artery calcification, with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly myocardial infarctions. So while eating more calcium does not appear to increase risk of heart disease, taking it in supplement form does.

In addition, calcium supplements, especially when combined with vitamin D supplements, may increase the risk of kidney stones, one study found. So how to get your calcium on a plant-based diet? Simply eat these even foods as often as possible.

In addition, calcium supplements, especially when combined with vitamin D supplements, may increase the risk of kidney stones,one studyfound. So how to get your calcium on a plant-based diet? Simply eat these seven foods as often as possible.

And keep in mind that in order to maintain healthy bones,add daily exercise to your routine, preferably outdoors to get vitamin D by exposing skin to sunlight for short amountsof time each day.Meanwhile avoid habits that damage your bones, such as smoking, overuse of alcohol andsoft drinkconsumption.

7 Best Calcium Foods to Boost Bone Health and Prevent Weight Gain - The Beet

The observation that diet and health are related can be traced back at least to Maimonides a 1,000 years ago and Hippocrates over 2,000 years ago. With advances in public health measures and medical care, the average lifespan has been dramatically extended. Unfortunately, many of the extra years are burdened with chronic diseases, like heart disease and cancer.

More than ever, trying to determine what diet is most related to health is of importance to living a long life without disease. Nutrition science can be difficult, complex, and conflicting at times. What can you do when headlines appear that are in direct conflict with one another? Is the media biased, or even bought?

In the last few months, this situation has exploded, and it pertains to the role of whole food plant diets and heart disease. Research on the contribution of foods rich in saturated fats like cheese, butter, meats, eggs, and pastries to heart disease has been ongoing since the 1950s. In order to evaluate the most current and quality data, a systematic review and meta-analysis of the relationship between saturated fat and heart disease were published by the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR)in May. The CDSR is widely regarded as the leading and most respected of sources for evaluating topics in health care.

The authors analyzed 15 controlled trials involving over 59,000 subjects and concluded that The findings of this updated review suggest that reducing saturated fat intake for at least two years causes a potentially important reduction in combined cardiovascular events (21%). Replacing the energy from saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat or carbohydrate appears to be useful strategies. It would seem clear that reducing or eliminating meats, cheeses, egg yolks, lard, butter, ghee and baked goods would favor better odds of avoiding heart disease. Of note, major media channels did not report on this research and it was buried in the National Library of Medicine.

The clarity on nutrition advice provided by the esteemed CDSR lasted all of 3-4 weeks as a State of the Art Review by 12 authors on the topic of saturated fat and health was published in a major cardiology journal on June 16, 2020. They did not conduct original research but analyzed previously published studies. The 12 authors concluded that Whole-fat dairy, unprocessed meat, eggs and dark chocolate are SFA-rich foods with a complex matrix that are not associated with increased risk of CVD. The totality of available evidence does not support further limiting the intake of such foods. Unlike the esteemed CDSR paper, this review created 100s of headlines worldwide.

How can we reconcile such conflicting conclusions? It is challenging and leaves many confused, feeling that they can eat whatever they want while nutrition scientists duke it out. One major concern not mentioned in the media regarding the 2nd paper promoting saturated fat was that 9 of the 12 authors disclosed research funding by dairy or beef foundations. Lets repeat that: 75% of the authors promoting saturated fat were funded by industry organizations that promote foods rich in saturated fat!

In a second challenge to the findings of the CDSR, 10 authors published a hypothesis that those suffering from a relatively rare genetic disorder causing high cholesterol, familial hyperlipidemia, would benefit more from a low-carbohydrate diet than a low-fat diet. The authors did not conduct original research. Guess what? Five of the 10 authors revealed financial ties that they benefit from relating to low-carb diets. The other 5 are well known low-carb advocates routinely advocating for dietary approaches in conflict with major medical societies and research findings. Would you be surprised that this paper also got worldwide headlines indicating that a new paradigm had been identified?

Are there any ways to approach nutrition research with a system you can digest when new data and conflicting reports appear? I rely on two leading research scientists who have proposed such an approach:One is Valter Longo, Ph.D., author of The Longevity Diet, creator of the plant-based Fasting Mimicking Diet, and internationally known leading academic researcher.

Dr. Longo describes the Five Pillars of Longevity as a format to evaluated nutrition research. These 5 pillars are:1) biochemical research, 2) randomized trials, 3) epidemiology, 4) study of centenarians, and finally, 5) analysis of complex systems (like the environmental impact of diet). For example, Dr. Longo considers the popular keto diet to bea half a pillar at most as it lacks many of the components of this analytical system. In contrast, Dr. Longo teaches a plant-based diet in his book as it encompasses all 5 pillars.

The other leading scientist is Nobel Prize Laureate Michael Brown, MD who was awarded this high honor in 1985 for his research on the LDL cholesterol.Dr. Brown delivered a lecture titled A Century of Cholesterol and Coronaries and described a method of evaluating the scientific literature on the relationship between cholesterol and heart disease. He called the method the Four Lines of Evidence. These 4 lines were remarkably similar to the Pillars described by Dr. Longo. Together they provide a framework to consider new information in a meaningful and big picture way.

What can be concluded regarding saturated fat and heart disease? Should you add butter to your coffee tomorrow? One study was published by an esteemed organization (CDSR). The other two were written by authors with major financial biases, including investments in companies dedicated to promoting diets high in saturated fats.

Using the 5 Pillars or the 4 Lines of Evidence, there exists biochemistry, randomized trials, epidemiology, and Centenarian data that indicate that diets lower in saturated fats (reduced or absent meats, cheeses, butter, pastries, lard, ghee) promote health and reduce the risk of heart disease. No single new study can up-end 70 years of research, even if a new study can get inordinate and inappropriate praise in the media. While nutrition science can be challenging, using the methods here as a guidepost to the research you believe will help you make healthy decisions about your diet. One simple rule: Always favor plant-based selections. Do not believe all media headlines. They can be bought or, at a minimum, influenced, by a flow of dollars that generates clickbait headlines.

By Roberta H. Anding, MS, Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Childrens HospitalEdited by Kate Findley and proofread byAngelaShoemaker, The Great Courses DailyUnlike fat and carbohydrates, our bodies cannot store protein, which makes it essential to have a daily intake of protein in our diets. Photo By Oleksandra Naumenko / ShutterstockWhy We Need Complete Proteins

Before learning how to combine proteins, first its important to understand why this is necessary. As human beings, we have, unfortunately, an endless ability to store fat. And, we have a small ability to store carbohydrate in our muscles and our liver.

We cannot, however, store protein. In order to make new protein, the body needs a daily supply of amino acids.

If we cant store protein, any loss of body protein is going to represent loss of function. All the functions of protein, including the benefits that protein provides for post-surgery recovery, infant growth, and immune system support, will be lost as well. Thus, amino acids are needed to replenish our bodys supply of protein.

Some proteins contain all of the essential amino acids that we need to build new proteins. Theyre often called complete proteins. Usually, they are of animal origin, such as milk, cheese, chicken, fish, and red meat.

An exception to the rule is soybean, which is a plant protein and can be found in tofu. Soybean is as equally nutritious as the other sources of complete proteins that contain all of the essential amino acids.

Other proteins can be missing an essential amino acid, or theyre not contained in an adequate amount. These are called incomplete proteins. Theyre lacking one or more essential amino acid.

Most breads contain between two and three grams of protein per serving, but its not a complete protein. Similarly, nuts, rice, beans, and vegetables are all good sources of protein, but are incomplete by themselves.

Theyre going to need something else to balance out the essential amino acid thats missing. This is called combining proteins. You combine a protein that complements the missing amino acid in an alternative way, making a complete protein.

If you have a missing amino acid, or that amino acid is in short supply, protein synthesis stops. It doesnt slow. It stops, because youre missing the structures to complete that protein.

This is called a limiting amino acid. Thats why its important to make sure youre getting a balance of protein-containing foods.

The only time I ever really see an issue with this in the United States is in people who decide to become vegan, Professor Anding said.

Vegans eliminate all sources of animal protein, and you can be very healthy on a vegan diet. You just have to be wise in the way that youre combining proteins.

For example, cereal grains are low in the essential amino acid lysine, and soybeans and other beans can be used in place of low-lysine foods to complement that. Red beans and rice is a great example of complementary proteins. Peanut buttera nutand breada grainare also complementary proteins.

We used to believe that you had to have two incomplete proteins, like rice and beans, at the same meal. Science doesnt support that belief any longer. You should still have them within the same day, but you dont have to eat them within the same meal.

Therefore, if you like to start out your day with a spoonful of peanut butter and a banana, you have an incomplete protein, but if you have a granola bar later in the morning, youve now had that missing essential amino acid. It wasnt at the same meal, but it was on the same day. Its not difficult to balance amino acids if youre eating on a frequent basis.

Professor Roberta H. Anding is a registered dietitian and Director of Sports Nutrition and a clinical dietitian at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Childrens Hospital. She also teaches and lectures in the Baylor College of Medicines Department of Pediatrics, Section of Adolescent Medicine and Sports Medicine, and in the Department of Kinesiology at Rice University.

Some dietary items are clearly off-limits if you are looking to lower high cholesterol, such as processed meats, cakes and biscuits.

Certain healthy foods can be high in cholesterol too, which muddies the waters.

For many decades, people have been advised to limit their consumption of eggs, or at least of egg yolks, for example.

Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods you can eat but they also happen to be high in cholesterol, nutritional data shows.

People who have predominantly large LDL particles have a lower risk of heart disease.

This indicates that even if eggs cause mild increases in total and LDL cholesterol levels, its not a cause for concern.

To stay on the safe side, research has shown that eating one to three eggs per day is perfectly safe for healthy people.

Eating foods that contain unsaturated fat instead of saturated fat can help reduce cholesterol levels, notes the NHS.

Unsaturated fats include:

In fact, many of these items are staples of the Mediterranean diet, which has been shown to lower cholesterol and reduce risk of heart disease.

According to Mayo Clinic, interest in the Mediterranean diet began in the 1960s with the observation that coronary heart disease caused fewer deaths in Mediterranean countries, such as Greece and Italy, than in the US and northern Europe.

Subsequent studies found that the Mediterranean diet is associated with reduced risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

While there is no single definition of the Mediterranean diet, it is typically high in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds, and olive oil.

The main components of Mediterranean diet include:

In addition to eating healthily, an active lifestyle can also help lower your cholesterol level, according to the NHS.

"Doing 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity every week can improve your cholesterol levels," says the health body.

Moderate aerobic activity means you're working hard enough to raise your heart rate and break a sweat.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II isnt letting anything stop him these days, even a global pandemic. Currently filming The Matrix 4 in Berlin, Germany, the actor is all about making sure hes stays on top of his fitness goals, now more than ever.

The Watchmen star recently allowed Mens Health into his Berlin home for the latest installment of the Gym & Fridge series, where he proudly shows off his back-porch gym setup. It might not have all the bells and whistles a state-of-the-art gym, but it does have some of the essentials for getting in movie star-shape.

Its not one of those roles right now where I have to be really big and muscular, he says about his fitness routine. So really the key to this setup is just to make sure that Im toned and have the space to do my cardio and take care of my absthings like that. His favorite exercise tool is a 30-pound log, which he chopped and painted black himself.

While Abdul-Mateens current workout routines requires five days a week of effort, he does like to change it up depending on the project hes working on. But if hes not on set, he lifts weights twice a week and plays basketball on other days. And though there's constant pressure to stay in superhero shape, thats not Abdul-Mateens only motivation. I want to look good in my films, but I also want to look good in real life," he says. "Between the two of those, I think thats enough.

The Candyman star also takes viewers to his fridge, which showcases some simple foods that contribute to his clean diet. The main staple youd find in Abdul-Mateens fridge? Eggs. He eats about half a dozen every morning for a protein source. Im always working and filming superhero projects or things like that where I have to stay in shape, he says. So my diet is pretty consistent. Im usually eating things around the clock. Its kind of boring, but thats what it takes.

But that doesnt mean the actor doesnt indulge every now and then, as he shows the camera his cheat meal: cereal and candy he brought with him from the U.S. I try not to eat this at 2 oclock in the morning, he jokes. I try to keep it clean. I try my best!

After growing slightly bored of the same old training regime, bodybuilder Brandon White, one half of YouTube's swole brother duo the Buff Dudes, decided to set himself a new challenge: do whatever it takes to put on lean muscle mass. 15 pounds of lean muscle mass. With a goal weight of 240 pounds in sight, Brandon committed to upping his workouts, adjusting his diet, staying hydrated, and keeping to a strict sleep schedule.

Brandon worked out a minimum of 2 times a day and increased his daily food intake to around 5,000 calories particularly protein and good fats. On an average day, this is what his meals look like:

"One thing that's really important, if you want to put on size, is continuing to make sure you're in a surplus," he says.

"There is going to be an increased fat percentage too, because you're just rushing a lot of extra calories and macronutrients into the body, and it is going to store a little bit of that as fat," he continues. "But keeping as active as possible, hitting those hard workouts, and getting that sleep, everything coming together is going to keep you lean and build that nice quality muscle over time."

It is an open secret that the standard American diet leaves something to be desired. Depending on fatty foods that offer no nutritional value is bound to make you feel drowsy and might even lead to serious health complications. For this reason, many people opt to incorporate supplements into their diets in hopes of compensating the vitamins they cannot get from food. Dietary supplements have become the new craze, and it is now common to see people popping 20 different pills a day, thinking that they are doing their bodies a favor! Not all supplements are created equal, though, and there is a big chance that you do not need many of them. If you want to know which dietary supplements are worth it and which are not, check out the next key points.

When we think of bone health, calcium is what usually comes to mind. Yet, without vitamin D, calcium cannot actually do its job. Vitamin D helps your bones absorb calcium. When it comes to vitamin Ds sources, sun exposure is usually the best, not to mention the most natural, way of getting your required dose. To help your bones stay in tip-top shape and ward off osteoporosis, your daily intake of vitamin D should be around 20 micrograms. You might even need more if you do not usually go out in the sun. Since most people cannot get their bodys vitamin D requirement through sun exposure alone, taking dietary supplements rich in this vitamin is essential.

Suffering from irregular bowel movements or IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)? Then, you cannot go wrong with probiotics! These supplements contain friendly bacteria and yeast that can balance your digestive system. As explained in the helpful articles you can find when you visit this website, probiotics are especially important for women since they can treat most of the severe infections females are prone to developing. They also help with eczema and allergies. Probiotics have recently been proven to enhance heart health as well, which makes them a worthy addition to your diet.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that fish is not everyones favorite dish. However, it is unquestionably great for your body, as it contains huge amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 is known for its uncanny ability to improve cardiovascular health and fight off high blood pressure. Since many are scared of mercury poisoning, which is often associated with consuming fish, fish oil supplements can help most people get their required daily dose of Omega-3. Moreover, if you notice that you cannot focus for long periods or cannot remember things as easily as you used to, you can benefit from fish oil supplements.

Most of us rush to pop a couple of vitamin C bills when we feel a cold coming on, thinking that this is enough to stop it in its tracks. Surprisingly, though, there is no scientific evidence that vitamin C can ward off colds. At the very best, it may mitigate the severity of it or help you get better just a little bit sooner. Doctors recommend that you get your daily dose of vitamin C from citrus fruits like lemons, avocados, and oranges. This makes taking vitamin C supplements unnecessary.

Meal replacements are dietary supplements that supposedly help you lose weight by replacing food. Most meal replacements come in the form of powders that you mix with milk, juice, or plain water. Forgoing meals and just consuming a glorified milkshake is not a healthy approach to losing weight, not to mention that it has not been proven to be effective. So, unless you are extremely ill and cannot stomach real food, you should not buy meal replacements.

The thought of popping a pill and losing weight in a few days without hassle is certainly appealing, but it is, regrettably, unrealistic. Most diet pills are made of herbs that are said to enhance ones metabolism, encouraging weight loss. However, some come with nasty side effects like diarrhea. Because sitting on a toilet all day is not optimal, you should follow a healthy diet and exercise often instead if you want to shed off a few pounds.

Supplements are fantastic for enhancing your diet and ensuring that your body gets all the nutrition it needs. As you can deduce from our previous list, not all supplements make a huge difference. It is important not to be misled by online testimonies since they can make you waste money on ineffective products. So, consult your doctor before buying any dietary supplements because they will be able to recommend safe ones.

February 2019 saw the global launch of a science-backed new diet with lofty objectives.

The Planetary Health Diet aims to feed nourishing, sustainably grown food to all ten billion of us forecast to be on the planet by 2050, whilst tackling climate change and reversing ecosystem collapse.

That diet includes lots of nuts, whole grains, legumes and pulses. Plus more plant-based protein, and more fruit and vegetables.

Implementing this diet would mean a complete restructuring of our food growing systems and supply chains.

So, in light of the pandemic and to mark Science Week, a free online panel is examining this diet tonight and you're invited.

You can find all the details here

Why cardio exercises like HIIT help you to lose belly fat

The combination of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and resistance training is seriously effective, said personal trainer Ashley Kelly.

She continued: Essentially,youre performing a set of exercises designed to strengthen specific body parts, with little to no rest between exercises.

Its a pretty simple formula: you build muscle through strength training, either with weights or bodyweight exercises, and you max out your heart rate by doing it in fast, intense circuits.

A 2016 study from the Journal of Internal Medicine found that cardio exercises like walking, stair-climbing, cycling, and swimming not only helps to burn belly fat but also decreases the risk of type 2 diabetes, some cancers, osteoporotic fractures and depression.

Ayesha Curry recently stunned fans with her dramatic weight loss when she appeared on the cover of Shape magazine. The TV chef has since divulged some of the secrets which helped her shed thirty-five pounds.

As the world reels from the effects of COVID-19-enforced lockdowns, more and more celebrities are revealing how they spent their time in isolation.

Canadian-American actress, cookbook author, and TV personality, Ayesha Curry has also come out with a stunning revelation she devoted the time to her body.

Curry recentlyappearedon Shape magazine's "Women Run The World" issue. Fans were pleasantlysurprisedto see that the actress had lost over thirty pounds and looked quite fit.

While many know Curry to be an industrious entrepreneur, the 31-year-old is also a confessed food enthusiast and recently admitted to inheriting food and "hustle" as love languages from her mother. Shesaid:

"Food is my passion. It's my love language: It's how I make people happy. It's what I think about every second"

As many are well aware, being a "foodie" can come with its challenges, not least of which is controlling one's weight gain.

To help others on their fitness journeys, Curry teamed up with Fitbit Premium on July 7 to share recipes and four workout videos for their app subscribers.

Curry explained that she was very cautious of her diet and used the Fitbit app to monitor her calories and ensure that she met her daily goals.

However, she admitted that shestill indulged in 'chicken parm night,' which is a favorite of her children, Riley Elizabeth, 8,Ryan Carson, 5,and Canon W. Jack, 2.

Curry alsorevealedthat she was very "into portion control" and consumed a lot of green vegetables. Sheadded that she and her husband, NBA star Steph Curry, often synctheir workout schedules and make food traditions to involve the whole family.

The most challenging part of Curry's fitness training, however, was toning her arms. The "Family Food Fight" host expressed that she had to create a Fitbit Premium workout specifically for toning her arms andhas since been getting positive results.

When she isn't running one of her numerous business ventures, or taking care of her family, Curry is a vocaladvocate of the "Black Lives Matter" movement.

The actress stated that althoughdiscussingadvocacy with her childrencan sometimes be emotional, she draws strength from seeing "people from all walks of life stand up for justice and fight for what's right."
