Cutting Back on One Amino Acid Increases Lifespan of Middle-Aged Mice Up to 33%

A new study in mice found limited intakes of one particular essential amino acid slowed the impacts of ageing and even lengthened their lifespan. Scientists are now wondering if these findings could help people improve their longevity and quality of life. Isoleucine is one of three branched-chain amino acids we use to build proteins in our bodies. It is essential for our survival, but since our cells can't produce it from scratch, we have to get...

We labor to keep our minds and bodies sharp and healthy and that is precisely the role of the conservator for the painting. Some paintings require minimal attention and maintenance and others much more drastic interventions.

Medicine’s Response to the Changing Science on Fluoride Safety

Ironically, the anti-fluoridationists had historically been accused of their "anti-scientific attitudes," but now it’s many of the pro-fluoridationists. How did the medical and dental community react to U.S. regulators’ total 180 over water fluoridation, going from presumptively safe to presumptively dangerous? We can get the best of both worlds with topical application of fluoride, so I continue to advocate for the use of fluoride toothpaste, but pregnant and breastfeeding women may want to consider non-fluoridated water sources to reduce the apparent risk to the developing brain. This is the final video in my series on water fluoridation. If you missed any of the others, see: • Why Is There Fluoride in Water? Is It Effective?

The Best Low-Calorie Foods To Help You Lose Weight And Stay Full, According To Dietitians

From protein-packed snacks to fiber-forward treats... If you're interested in losing weight, you're probably aware that taking in less calories than you burn (a.k.a. calorie deficit) can help. With that, it only makes sense to reach for low-calorie foods to fill you up and help you achieve your weight loss goals. Of course, having just any low-calorie food isn't the way to go—you want to make sure you're picking options that help you stay healthy and satiated while losing weight. "It's important to cover your nutrient bases," says dietitian Jessica Cording, RD, author of The Little Book of Game-Changers. At baseline, it's important to try to hit the same basic macros at every meal: protein, fat, and carbs, says Vanessa Rissetto, RD, the CEO and co-founder of Culina Health. "Then, add or substitute lower-calorie foods for more fullness," she adds. Consider these 25 low-calorie foods next time you hit your local grocery store. They've been handpicked by nutritionists to help you reach your weight loss goals while still doing your health—and taste buds—a solid. Meet the experts: Emily Morgan, RDN, is a clinical dietitian at Stanford Health Care.

Which Is Better For Diabetics: Boiled Or Steamed Potatoes? A Review By Nutrition Professionals

17 Foods with More Protein Than an Egg to Boost Your Meals

Bump up your daily protein intake with this mix of vegetarian and animal-based options. The post 17 Foods with More Protein Than an Egg to Boost Your Meals appeared first on Taste of Home. Have you noticed how obsessed with protein everyone seems to be these days? Food manufacturers are constantly bragging about the grams of protein on the front label, plenty of people at the gym seem to be discussing their post-workout protein shake routine, and anytime someone switches to a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle everyone seems concerned about how on earth they’ll get enough protein. What’s with this fixation? “Protein helps to build and repair lean muscle mass,” says Toby Amidor, MS, RD, CDN, FAND, nutrition expert and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the forthcoming Up Your Veggies: Flexitarian Recipes for the Entire Family. “From a digestion standpoint, protein helps you feel full faster and stay satiated and full for longer.” As such, it’s recommended to include protein at every meal. Amidor says the goal is to include 20-30 grams of high-quality protein—meaning it contains all the essential amino acids—at breakfast, lunch and dinner. That equates to eating 3-4 ounces of protein per meal, which fills roughly one-quarter of your plate. “Complete proteins come from animal-based foods like lean beef, pork or eggs,” says Amidor. “If you eat plant-based protein, make sure you are eating protein combinations or a variety of proteins throughout the day.” How Much Protein Is In an Egg? According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), one large egg provides 71.5 calories and 6.3 grams of complete, high-quality protein. In fact, one egg has all nine of the essential amino acids your body needs daily: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. Eggs also contain magnesium, potassium, selenium, folate, choline, vitamin A, lutein, zeaxanthin and vitamin D. Egg Yolks vs. Egg Whites Egg whites, also known as albumen, account for about 66% of the egg’s liquid weight and contain about half of the egg’s total protein. The rest is found in the yolk (the yellow portion). “Close to half of the protein is found in the yolk, and as such, I do recommend eating that golden yolk and minimizing food waste,” says Amidor. And even though it’s a source of dietary cholesterol, the American Heart Association recommends one whole egg per day as part of a healthy diet. Foods with More Protein Than an Egg Eggs are an easy and complete source of protein, but considering they only have 6 grams of protein, they aren’t exactly the holy grail of protein sources. Check out these other protein-rich plant- and animal-based options that’ll boost your intake even more efficiently.
