The Right Food can Boost Your Mood, Studies Show
Traditionally, comfort food refers to a meal that improves your mood and gives you a heightened sense of well-being, at least while you’re eating it. This includes foods like biscuits and gravy, fried chicken, beef tips with mushrooms, mashed potatoes – things that most people truly enjoy eating. You can improve your mood with food, but the large amounts of calories and fat they include are detrimental to our long-term health.
In 1999, the medical journal Public Health Nutrition published the results of a study finding that so-called “comfort foods” create positive feelings and acutely improve your mood by causing your brain to release endorphins, the same feel-good chemicals released during exercise. However, endorphins only create a temporary improvement in mood. New studies are indicating how certain nutrients can boost your mood in the long term.

CDC Study: Obesity Rates Remain Stagnant in U.S.
Many individuals find that they are in a continual battle with trying to maintain a healthy body weight, take care of household chores and responsibilities, and excel within the workplace. The end result, in many instances it means failing to exercise regularly, inconsistent dietary habits, and erratic sleeping patterns.
This being all too true for many individuals, it is not surprising that for the past couple of decades, the obesity rate in the United States has been steadily increasing.
However, a new study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that the trend may finally be slowing down. Overall obesity rates for both women and men leveled off at around 36% in 2010. These rates are similar to those recorded in 2003 through 2008.
Obesity is specifically defined as having a BMI (body mass index) of at least 30 or higher. The BMI approach to determining if an individual is underweight, overweight, or within the medically approved weight range utilizes their weight and height as the variables in the calculation. The findings are the result of a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, that was conducted from 2009 through 2010.

Paula Deen’s Type 2 Diabetes Reveal Raises Health Questions
Earlier today, celebrity chef Paula Deen revealed to the NBC Today Show’s Al Roker (and the rest of the world) that she has Type 2 diabetes, a condition in which the body is unable to properly regulate blood sugar levels.
Paula Deen is well known for her high-fat, high-calorie, pour-on-the-sugar cooking style, which she teaches to thousands of viewers every day on her Food Network cooking show, a lifestyle under question after the Paula Deen Type 2 Diabetes reveal.
The Paula Deen Type 2 Diabetes announcement has raised some questions among both the entertainment and health industries, especially in light of the fact that she had apparently been diagnosed with the disease for over three years before making a public announcement.
Is it responsible to repeatedly tell viewers the joys of eating rich foods, such as Deen’s signature bacon/fried egg/donut burgers, while having a disease that directly stems from poor eating habits? And, for that matter, are eating habits alone responsible for Type 2 diabetes, or are there other factors at play?

Want to Clear Up Acne? Start by Adjusting Your Diet
Millions of Americans, to varying degrees, struggle with acne. While most people typically suffer from acne in their adolescent years, it is not overly uncommon for many individuals to battle the skin condition well into their adulthood years.
Although certain skin care regimens and treatment creams and serums have been proven to clear up acne or at least improve the appearance of acne for some individuals, others seem to try every possible solution and never experience positive results.
A countless number of studies have been conducted over the past several years, all in hopes of determining exactly what does and does not cause acne. These studies have busted plenty of myths, and indicated that, for many acne sufferers, an anti acne diet is exactly what is needed to combat their acne.

Skip Crazy Diets, Natural Detox is Best
The popular detox diets often touted by celebrities and so-called “health gurus” run the gamut from extremely restrictive to downright zany. For instance, you may come across a detox diet that instructs you to consume only cranberry juice, or some combination of lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper, all while eating absolutely no solid whole foods for several consecutive days.
Sound healthy? Of course not. Our bodies need consistent nutritional replenishment in the form of whole foods that are high in vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, proteins and complex carbohydrates, and a super-restrictive “detox diet” will do little more than strip your body of the nutrients it needs, potentially interfering with your metabolism in the process. Instead, a natural detox diet may be more appropriate.
