5 Ways to “Trick” Your Kids Into Eating Healthier
Recently, Tyson has been airing a chicken nuggets commercial in which kids describe the foods they dislike (“Spinach? Not a big fan;” “Mushrooms look like aliens;” “I don’t like lima beans”), only to be presented with a big pile of chicken nuggets that the narrator describes as “the one thing kids love, 100% of the time.”
There’s no doubt about it – children can be picky eaters. However, this doesn’t mean that parents need to resort to junk food (sorry Tyson, but we’ve seen the videos of what goes into chicken nuggets, and 100% natural does not equal 100% healthy food).
In fact, there are plenty of ways of getting your kids to eat healthy, more nutritious foods, and the best part is that they won’t be protesting or sticking their tongues out when you do.
Foodborne Illness Vaccine is Coming Soon
Foodborne illness, also referred to as foodborne disease and food poisoning, is any illness that results from consuming food that has been contaminated, pathogenic parasites, bacteria, or viruses that contaminate food, as well as other chemical or natural toxins.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the (CDC), estimates that approximately 48 million foodborne illness cases occur in the U.S. each year with at least 128,000 individuals being hospitalized and over 3,000 dying from contaminated food.
If recent studies are any indication, a foodborne illness vaccine that will protect against norovirus – the most common cause of foodborne illness in the United States – could be available to the general public well within the next half-decade.
According to Charles Arntzen of Arizona State University’s Center for Infectious Diseases and Vaccinology, norovirus vaccines have already been successful in multiple human trials, though additional studies are needed in order to determine how effective they’ll be overall.

7 Hours of Sleep is Just Right for Teens, Study Says
Sleep is a vital and necessary function of the human body as countless biological processes occur during periods of sleep. In addition, there are several health risks that have been associated with extended periods of sleep deprivation including weight gain, high blood pressure, weakened immune system, decreased learning, poor memory, hypertension, irregular heartbeat, and increased stress hormone levels.
This being said, how much sleep, on a consistent and regular basis, is really necessary to support a healthy lifestyle?
A few days ago, we reported that younger children tend to fall short of recommended sleep requirements, despite the fact that those recommendations are based on little medical, clinical, or scientific evidence.
Now, a recently published study is recommending an amount of sleep for teenagers with some actual scientific backing. According to researchers Mike Showalter and Eric Eide of Brigham Young University, approximately 7 hours of sleep is just right for teens each night.

Arsenic Detected in Some Organic Foods
In most cases, choosing the organic versions of the foods you purchase is a great way to lower your exposure to a variety of harmful chemicals, pesticides, antibiotics, and in some cases, steroids and growth hormones.
Unfortunately, a recently published study has proven that this doesn’t always hold true. The study detected high levels of arsenic in a number of organic food products, including energy shots, cereal bars and, most alarmingly, arsenic in organic baby food. It’s currently believed that consuming arsenic can increase your risk of cancer.
In particular, the study found that organic brown rice syrup, commonly used in organic foods as a replacement for high fructose corn syrup, was to blame.
The most tainted products examined in the study were found to have arsenic concentrations in excess of 12 times the safe drinking water limit as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Frequent Flu Infections Boost Brain Disease Risk
If you’re the type of individual that tends to skip getting your flu shot each year, and you consistently get the flu once or twice a year, newly published flu research may cause you to reconsider your decision. The reason being, while the symptoms associated with the flu may seem like they come and go with the timeframe that you feel sick, new research data may be pointing to the fact that this may not necessarily be true.
According to recent clinical analysis work conducted by Harvard Medical School neurology professor Dr. Ole Isacson, viral infections such as the flu may have long-term detrimental effects on the brain. Based on the results of the study, these detrimental effects on the brain could go unnoticed until much later in life, when, over years of accumulation, lead to a variety of brain diseases including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.
