Why Is It So Hard To Stay Healthy? Have you ever wondered if your parents had to work as hard as you do to maintain their health?  Chances are, probably not.  While they still had to make good food choices, their lifestyles were probably more active than sedentary.  The air they breathed when they were younger was pure, the food they consumed was likely whole foods without the added hormones, pesticides and depleted soils of foods today. They would typically get between 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night. Although the stresses they experienced were challenging, their ability to handle the stresses was likely more effective than today’s people handling the fast-paced world that is filled with social media, internet and cell phones. All of these distractions and diversions can overload our minds and create a sense of imbalance and constant feelings of perpetual searching and seeking. The truth is, it really DOES take hard work to stay healthy in today’s world.  Whether you are struggling

Calories on menus – Why are they there and are they helpful? Voluntary calorie labelling on menus came into place in 2011 in the UK, which over 40 businesses have taken part in. However, from 6 April 2022, it will be mandatory by law for some businesses to display the calories in the food and drink they sell. This applies to businesses that have more than 250 employees and sell non-prepacked food or drink that someone might consume straight away. This includes restaurants, cafes, fast food places but also contract caterers, trains, ferries and planes that work within the UK.   This initiative is part of a plan to tackle obesity, as an increase in eating out has been implicated as a possible contributor. The aim of menu labelling is to help us make informed, healthier decisions about what we eat and drink. It’s also hoped that it will encourage businesses to reformulate the food and drink they offer and provide lower-calorie options as well.   What’s the evidence? On the whole, evi

Does Exercise Worsen or Improve Memory?   Exercise is widely considered to be an important part of any healthy lifestyle, but not all routines are created equal when it comes to cognitive performance and memory. Rather, the science is somewhat conflicted at points, and certain types of exercise can actually be detrimental to individuals who suffer from various conditions, including dementia. Let’s take a look at two studies that provide a wealth of information regarding both the utility and risk of regular exercise, as well as how to adapt the findings to your particular needs, goals and lifestyle. “Science is somewhat conflicted when it comes to exercise’s impact on cognitive function.” Aerobics and memory Heidi Godman, executive editor of the Harvard Health Letter, recently published a post in Harvard Health Publishing in which she broke down some of the findings of a new study that linked aerobic exercise to better memory performance. According to the author, researchers from
