Scheduled Eating Prevents Weight Gain
Conventional dietary wisdom says that weight gain is primarily caused by consuming more calories than your body burns on that given day. While that’s certainly true, it’s also caused by adhering to an unusual eating schedule, according to a recently published study involving mice. Now, scientist believe they have found evidence that an eating schedule to lose weight is a good part of a healthy diet plan.
During the study, the mice that received a high-fat diet and were allowed to eat around the clock gained weight, as expected.
However, a second group of mice that was fed the exact same diet but restricted to an eight-hour eating schedule did not gain as much weight, despite eating the same number of calories overall as the mice in the first group.
According to the researchers, the results of the study lend credence to the notion that it’s not just what types of food you consume, but also when you eat them as well that will ultimately determine whether you lose weight or gain weigh.

Duke Study Predicts 42% Obesity Rate in U.S. by 2030
Although a recently published Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study indicates that obesity rates have leveled off in the United States, a new study suggests that the current pause in increasing obesity may only be temporary.
In fact, clinical researchers from Duke University now believe that obesity rates will rise steadily over the course of the next 20 years, and predict that by 2030 obesity could impact 42% of the United States population.
In order for an individual to be considered obese, they must technically have a body mass index (BMI) value that is in excess of 30. In addition, the body mass index range of values used to define an individual that is considered “overweight” is between 25 and 30.

Berries Prevent Cognitive Decline in Women
Earlier this month, we reported on a recently published United Kingdom study indicating that regularly consuming berries may reduce the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. A more recently published study by clinical researchers at the Harvard Medical School supports these findings, concluding that women who eat blueberries and strawberries may slow their rate of mental decline in later life.
The mental health and cognitive benefits of berries may be due to their flavonoid content, according to the medical researchers. Flavonoids can be defined as phytonutrients in plant-based foods that typically contribute to the color of the actual food. Most flavonoids act as antioxidants. More specifically, they assist in neutralizing overly reactive oxygen containing molecules and prevent them from damaging parts of other healthy cells.

Want to Live to 100? Eat a Mediterranean Diet, Study Says
Many of us have heard the saying “you are what you eat” and many us also believe that there is truth in the saying as well. More specifically, the importance of consistently feeding our bodies with high quality whole foods that are high in vitamin and mineral content allows the various processes that are routinely performed by our bodies to operate at their optimum levels and is of vital importance to living a long and prosperous life.
Regularly consuming a “Mediterranean type diet” is one of the best ways to live to the age of 100 and the best diet for long life, according to a new study by Italian researchers. The study examined residents of Sicily who were at least 100 years old and found that most of their diets consisted largely of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. The diets were notably lacking in sweets, simple carbohydrates and red meat.

CDC Study: Cholesterol Levels Dropping in U.S. Adults
Despite the fact that over 35% of the individuals living in the United States are technically considered obese, fewer U.S. adults suffer from high cholesterol today than they did roughly a decade ago, according to a new study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
When the CDC conducted their American cholesterol levels survey, data gathered between the years of 1999 and 2000 concluded that approximately 18.3% of the United States adult population had high cholesterol.
By the time the study was conducted again in 2009 and 2010, just 13.4% of the United States population suffered from high cholesterol. This represents a 27% decline in high cholesterol prevalence over the course of just 10 years.
