3 Scientifically-Proven Ways to Curb Children’s Soda Consumption
With today’s lifestyles tending to be fairly hectic and busy, it’s hard for many individuals to find the time to complete all of the items, chores, and responsibilities related to being a parent that is present, involved in their children’s daily lives, and still find the time for rest and relaxation.
Included in this is the challenge of routinely preparing healthy and nutritious meals for not only your children, but yourself as well. This can be witnessed by the fact that both childhood and adult obesity has drastically risen over the past 20 years.
There are two primary reasons for this increase in obesity: the lack of regular physical activity and dietary habits that are filled with consistently consuming high calorie processed foods that are high in fat.
This being said, as a concerned parent, you’ve probably given thought to ways in which you can consistently prepare healthier meals and eliminate the various foods and beverages that are nutritionally deficient and calorically prohibitive. One such beverage that you have probably considered is soda pop. After all, soda for kids consists of little more than sugar, artificial flavorings and empty calories, and its caffeine content can make children hyperactive during the day and irritable as bedtime approaches.

Berries Reduce Parkinsons Risk in Men and Women
There has been countless reports detailing the health benefits of what are being defined as superfruits – exotic fruits such as gogi berries, acai berries and pomegranates that contain extremely high levels of antioxidants. However, antioxidants are not the only beneficial compounds that are found in berries.
Berries also contain flavonoids. Flavonoids are defined as plant-based compounds that contain powerful antioxidant properties which support reductions in inflammation, promote healthy arteries, and assist in combating the effects of aging by preventing and repairing cellular damage.
According to a newly published study, flavonoids may assist in, among several of health and wellness benefits, reducing the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease in both men and women.
The researchers behind the study believe that flavonoids, found in red wine and certain types of tea in addition to berries, may provide significant benefits to overall human health.

CDC: Most Americans Get Plenty of Vitamins and Minerals
Although obesity and malnourishment continue to be important issues in the U.S., a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has some good news: most Americans receive sufficient levels of essential vitamins and minerals, despite the fact that our diets can be questionable overall. In fact, the report states that less than 10% of individuals are deficient for the vast majority of nutrients.
At the same time, CDC researchers warned that deficiency rates vary according to a number of factors, including ethnicity, gender and age. Christine Pfeiffer, one of the lead researchers behind the recently published study conducted by the CDC National Center for Environmental Health, said that the medical community needs to increase their effort to reign in the highest nutrient deficiency rates.

Chocolate Eaters Have Lower BMIs, Study Shows
If you like chocolate, you’ll love this: a new study shows that individuals who regularly eat chocolate have lower body mass indexes (BMI) than people who eat chocolate less frequently.
Your BMI is a comparison between your height and your weight, and is typically relied upon as a general indicator of whether you’re overweight. BMI scores matter little for athletes and strength trainers, who usually weigh more than their same-height peers due to additional muscle mass.
The researchers involved in the chocolate lower BMI study were especially surprised at their conclusions given that the participants who ate chocolate most frequently also tended to consume the most calories, and didn’t make up for these extra calories through additional exercise.

Vitamin D Deficiency Increases Death Risk for Elderly Women
With summer on the not-so-distant horizon, the health and fitness news headlines are sure to be filled with advice regarding vitamin D, the nutrient produced by your body when it’s exposed to the sun. This being said, vitamin D is different than the other essential vitamins since our own bodies are able to manufacture it when it is exposed to sunlight. The primary function of vitamin D is to regulate the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in our bones and to assist in promoting cell to cell communication throughout the entire body.
To kick things off a couple of months early, researchers from Austria’s Medical University of Graz have completed a vitamin D deficiency in elderly persons study finding that elderly women can reduce their death risk by ensuring that they maintain sufficient levels of vitamin D.
