Overweight US Adolescents Eat More Ultra-Processed Foods

September 21, 2022 · 7:00 PM

“One little piece won’t hurt . . .”

An article in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found an association between overweight/obesity and consumption of ultra–processed foods in US adolescents.

The study looked at 3,600 adolescents who reported their food intake over a 24-hour period. The results are pretty strong: the more ultra-processed food consumed, the greater the odds of overweight and obesity.

Jan at The Low Carb Diabetic blog reported that:

Ultra-processed foods make up ‘two-thirds of calories consumed by children and teens’
Experts from Tufts University in Massachusetts studied two decades of dietary data to 2018 and found that the amount of calories young people consumed from ultra-processed foods jumped from 61 per cent to 67 per cent.

I’m not paying for the JAND scientific report so I don’t know how they defined ultra-processed foods. The definition varies quite

Increasing Patient Retention and Revenue with Referral Management

Increasing Patient Retention and Revenue with Referral Management

The ratio between the number of dentists and the population in the USA is 61:100000. More than one in five (21.3%) said that they had not visited the dentist in the last few years. One of the top reasons adults cite for avoiding the dentist is the inability to find a convenient location or appointment time. Specifically, 19% of adults had not visited the dentist in a few years because they cannot find a convenient location or appointment time. As a dentist or dental practice manager, it is crucial to not just manage existing patients but to account for lost opportunities and plans to improve patient experience, especially with appointment schedule and completion. This will result in an increase in the number of patients visiting dental centers.

Dental centers/groups can begin by leveraging technology to manage the patient referral workflow. Inbound patient referrals having dental issues usually have accompanying ailments

Nova Scotia designer promotes respect at New York Fashion Week

Nova Scotia designer promotes respect at New York Fashion Week

Designer Melānie Mendez Munden says her proudest moment at New York Fashion Week was seeing her once-bullied teenage son, Kaidin, defiantly spreads his arms “like an eagle” as he modeled her clothes on the runway.

Her fashion brand, KeiKaiKoa Designs, which is named after her children, Keilana and Kaidin, and the family goldendoodle, Koa, promotes itself as being committed to respecting the environment and each other.

Based in Hubbards, NS, Munden teamed up with Halifax-based Soli Productions for the presentation on Sept. 11 that saw 17 models from Nova Scotia wearing designs made from sustainable fabric.

Munden told CBC Radio’s Mainstreet in Halifax she would describe her participation in the New York show as a luck, but said she recognizes people don’t believe in luck anymore.

She said she has been a fashion designer for 20 years and has shown her designs across Canada.

Munden said she attended Atlantic Fashion

How to Implement Disc Golf Curriculum in Schools – PHE America

I grew up a three-sport athlete, but I always had a love of outdoor recreation – especially rafting, mountain biking, and snowboarding. Unfortunately, with a limited income and the time constraints associated with being a college student, it was hard to get away for extended periods of time to do these activities.

When I first played disc golf, I was surprised to find out how inexpensive the game was. Then I was amazed at how much it was like one of my favorite games – golf. All of my favorite aspects of golf were present in disc golf, such as frustration tolerance, scoring, physical exertion, social engagement, appreciation for nature, and etiquette. As time passed, I became fully entranced by the game and decided to pursue a doctorate studying the elusive counter-culture of disc golf.
