Daily Caloric Intake Dropping Among U.S. Children
A new report by the CDC, or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, indicates that kids in America are eating fewer calories each day than they were roughly 10 years ago. The study, which included children between the ages of 2 and 19, analyzed the average daily caloric intake for children – boys dropped from 2,258 in 1999 to 2,100 calories daily in 2010. Among girls, average daily caloric intake dropped from 1,831 to 1,755 over the same time period. The most drastic declines in caloric intake occurred among 12 to 19-year-old girls and 2 to 11-year-old boys. In theory, taking action as a parent and reducing a child’s caloric intake should be fairly easy. Simply making smart choices, especially with beverages and snacks, could play a big part in preventing obesity as your child grows. The CDC reported in 2012 that around 12% of children in the U.S. are obese.

Americans Eating Less Fast Food
Good news for waistlines, bad news for Ronald McDonald – Americans are eating less fast food than ever before, according to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Researchers analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and found that fast food made up about 11.3% of the average American’s caloric intake in years ranging from 2007 to 2010. Between 2003 and 2006, this same figure stood at 12.8%. When the findings were broken down by gender, men turned out to be bigger fast food eaters than women – but not by much. Men get about 11.8% of their calories from fast food chains, while women get about 10.9% of theirs from the same. Study researcher Cheryl D. Fryar of the National Center for Health Statistics said the decline is significant, but that more work remains.

The Sweetest Way to Get Your Kids to Eat Their Veggies
Many parents struggle with getting their children to eat vegetables. If you’re one of these parents, you’ve probably tried everything you can think of to get your kids to eat their veggies: holding dessert hostage, promising to buy them that hot new video game, threatening them with extra chores. But there may still be some effective methods you haven’t tried yet. For example, making a minor alteration to the veggies themselves may be exactly the trick you need in your arsenal. According to a recent study by the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Connecticut, just a light misting of sugar water could change vegetables from your child’s worst nightmare to a tasty treat she’ll actually look forward to eating. Researchers suggest that the tradeoff in sugar content might be worth it to instill a vegetable eating habit.

Vitamin D Fights Breast Cancer, Diabetes, Alzheimer’s
Over the past several days, we’ve talked about how people who are obese are usually vitamin D deficient as well, and how getting a sufficient amount of vitamin D in your daily diet is difficult because many supplements are inaccurately labeled in terms of dosages. We also talked about how 75% of the U.S. population has a vitamin D deficiency, an alarming statistic to say the least. But why are vitamin D supplements necessary for so many people in the first place? The answer is that although vitamin D is available in a limited number of foods such as fatty fish, oatmeal and fortified milk, the primary source of this vitamin is the sun. At this time of year, many Americans receive no vitamin D from the sun, even when they’re outdoors. This is due to the sun’s low angle in the sky.

Is the Label on Your Vitamin D Supplement Accurate?
Vitamin D can be taken for many reasons, including the treatment of osteoporosis and osteogenesis imperfecta, which is a condition where the bones are brittle and susceptible to breakage. However, people with these conditions might not be getting the treatment they need if they’re taking over-the-counter supplements. A new study conducted at Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research indicates that vitamin D supplement labels may be woefully misleading. Specifically, you may be receiving far more or far less vitamin D in each pill or tablet than the label would lead you to believe. Pills tested in the study contained as little as 9% and as much as 146% of the vitamin D indicated on the labeling. These inaccuracies and inconsistencies could pose serious danger to individuals who are taking supplements to rectify low vitamin D levels, according to lead researcher Dr. Erin LeBlanc.
